"Ever seen a rainbow in space, Ghastly?" God asked, and now He wasn't looking at the sorcerer, as if to give the man the chance to remaster himself. "They're called nebula. Beautiful. Always loved 'em. My kids know that. What better way to sign and seal a promise than to put 'em in the atmosphere?"
He smiled at Ghastly as the doors dinged open, ambling out onto the ground floor and toward the waiting room without bothering, or probably even needing, to ask for directions in spite of the maze most hospitals were.
There were, as there always were, several people in the emergency waiting-room and the atmosphere was quietly grim. Valkyrie was sitting in a chair nearest the doors, the teddy-bear in her hands as if she was hardly even aware she held it at all. Beside her, hand on the chair-back, was a young blonde woman in tight leather who was receiving a number of stares (amazed, appreciative and disapproving in equal turns) without seeming to notice or care.
"Hoy!" Dad lifted a hand, and though His voice wasn't loud or intrusive to the silent contemplation of the other people waiting, it carried enough to draw attention from Tanith and Valkyrie.
