I was hoping tonot to have to use itertools

a=lambda a:"".join([i for i in reduce(lambda: b,c:b+c, map(None,*map(lambda m:list(m),a)) if i])

Ungolfed

 a=lambda a:                              #Start a lambda taking in a
    "".join(                              #Join the result together with empty string
        [i for i in reduce(               #For every item, apply the function and 'keep'
           lambda: b,c:b+c,               #Add lists from...
                map(None,*map(            #None = Identity function, over a map of...
                    lambda m:list(m), a)  #list made for mthe strings m
