a quick look under the hood (closed to james, set after circle of sirens)
(Dated to December 1st, after Circle of Sirens has wrapped up.)
Everyone is alive. Safe and whole and home. Alive. And Davin helped it happen. He hasn't been able to stop smiling since. All those people are back home with their families and loved ones, and he couldn't be happier. This town is sort of like living in a bad sci-fi movie sometimes, but at least no one can say it's boring.
He spent most of the weekend with Mira, refusing to leave her side until he had to. Davin had taken leave once people started going missing, and gave Jason time off to spend time with Iris.
But now it's Monday and the chaos has quieted, so it's back to the real world. Davin is the first one at the shop, as per usual, and Henry comes in after. He doesn't say much, also the usual, and gets to work. Mel and Hank come in next, one right after the other, and Davin's muscles immediately tense up.
"Oh, look who decided to show up," Mel says right off of the bat, and Davin's shoulders tense up. "Enjoy your vacation, princess?"
"Get to work," Davin says blandly, not giving him the satisfaction of reacting to his taunts. That seems to just make him even more angry and he takes a few steps towards Davin, who takes a step back on instinct, but whatever Mel was going to say is cut off by a car pulling into the service bay. It's a sleek black Camaro, and Davin's eyes light up in excitement. "I got this one."
"Whatever," Mel says with a flippant wave of his hand, and then stalks off to his side of the service bay. Davin ambles up to the Camaro and his face lights up in surprise when the detective who was working the disappearances steps out of it.
"Mornin' Detective Thornton," Davin greets happily. He makes a completely different picture than the one he made at Iris's, now bright and aloof and smiling warmly instead of twitchy and scared. "What brings ya by?"
