Chapter 11: Way In, Way Out

They finalized the details of their plan and set out into the woods after completely packing up their campsite. Tye had suggested that they fly to cut the time but Kato and Dallas both refused in fear of being dropped so the group mutually agreed to walk and make a bee-line through the woods to the outer edge of the dome in any direction and try to escape from there.

As they trekked through the woods, they talked at length about everything. They discussed their backgrounds, what they wanted to do when they got home, and how the world would react to kids with superpowers. Tye gave a small rant about how despite the aggressive creatures, he was still slightly upset that he wouldn’t ever get to see such a splendid world of flora and fauna again and that his phone wouldn’t allow him to at least have the satisfaction of clicking memories of it.

As they walked, Dallas uneasily stared at Tye, causing him to look back curiously. “Um. You okay there, bud?” Tye asked.

“Yeah. It’s just. Before we’re out of here. Can I ask you something, Tye?” Dallas said.

“Sure, man. Anything.”

“Okay cool? What’s up with your hoodie? Does that symbol mean something or?”

Tye pondered this for a moment and said, “Now that I think about it. I’m not sure. I kinda made it online and thought the symbol looked cool.”

“Just looked cool?” Dallas asked earnestly. “I feel like there’s gotta be some deeper meaning behind it.”

“He’s right.” Carmelita commented. “Everything has to have meaning.”

Tye chuckled. “I philosophically disagree with that! But, I dunno. The infinity symbol so... Infinite and the lightning bolt so... power? Infinite power? That’s a cool meaning, right? Maybe it’s about dyson spheres?”

“Whatever you say, Tyrone.” Dallas said shrugging.

“Actually!” Tye pointed out. “My name isn’t short for Tyrone. It’s just Tye.”

“Tyrone actually sounds like a cool name,” Kato offered. “It has a ring to it.”

“True but I kinda like Tye,” Ashley remarked.

“You do?” Tye asked.

“Yeah! I dunno why, but it’s a cute name.”

“Maybe it’s just the face,” Tye responded, shrugging.

“Yeah, maybe it is,” Ashley blushed.

Here, Kato nudged Tye in the ribs and whispered, “Yo, man. I think blondie’s got a thing for you. If you didn’t know, Ashley is blondie!”

“I got it, Kato,” Tye said with his hands on his head. “But nah, I think we’re just friends. She’s just being nice.”

“Dude!” Kato whispered slightly louder. “I mean... Dude!”

Tye rolled his eyes and picked up his pace slightly to escape Kato’s rambling. For the next couple hours, they walked until they finally hit the edge of the dome. They looked up in awe at the wall looming over them. It was almost as if they had reached the end of the universe itself.

Tye walked over to it as the others stood watching. It was warm to the touch. His fingers tingled as the energy ran down them. Pushing once more, he saw the ripples again, confirming his earlier suspicions.

He turned back and gave the others a nod.
