Vanguard: *Wakes up*

Vanguard: Home sweet home. Hello again London.

Vanguard smiled as he wakes up in one of the benches in London. Just as his first escape to the dark reality, it was the same as what he once saw when he lived.

His first escape was seeing the Tower Bridge with the Queen in the decks of HMS Belfast, where so many people cheered in joy. So much of the old architecture still stands as no modern or art deco changes can be seen. Remembering his first escape that it was a circular road with numerous colorful billboards filled with advertisements. A huge difference to the British Union of Fascists and Nazi occupied London.
