"Probably a while I'd imagine. I mean it's a big deal I'd think. I'm glad he is okay though." He'd sit down on the couch. "You coming?"

She resists the urge to facepalm, but the desire is on her face until she puts the mugs back. "Yeah." She joins him! "He had plenty of visitors last time, so if he was in the ICU, it wasn't long." She flops down on a seat. "At least he's alive."

Which is good news." He'd nod as he handed her a mug. "So what, just gonna stick around here for Christmas then?" Did she not have other family?

Just thinking about it makes her stomach flip. She closes her eyes and leans into the sofa, using her hood to protect the sofa since the inside is lined. Her hands wrap around the mug, but remain still. "Seems like." She opens her eyes to look at him with a wry smile. "Who knows, maybe it'll actually be quiet for a couple days."

"Like I said, I don't know if I'll be wanted, or if it's just expected of me." She shrugs. "I don't want him to have to spend it alone all day in the hospital, but I could just as easily be turned away. "I don't want to go there just to be told I'm a failure."

Sometimes old habits die hard. "No?" She smiles and chuckles. "How so? My power is still more in control than I am. Am I performing my duties as a daughter? Staying out of danger? Focusing on my studies and control here so I can go home and pretend to be like everyone else?" She shakes her head. "If he had his way, I'd be out the door this minute and never speak to anyone here every again."

She chuckles at the humor and eyes him for a moment before looking back and sipping at the chocolate, willing her power to take a back seat. She swallow down any bile that might rise up if she fails, swallowing the foul stuff rather than spit it up. She won't try again, if that's the case. "I don't want to. We don't see eye to eye on that one."

Presented with more proof of Eric being a nice guy, she envied his own faith in parents being ideal. "I don't know. Maybe, but I doubt it. In his mind, I'm the one who needs to come around."

He wants to give you the best life he can, and he thinks that means not having your power." She did have a rough one. "I mean I bet if you had something like Murdoch's he wouldn't be as worried about it or for you." He had so much faith. Back to Top   Eric Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

"Maybe. I've wondered about it, myself. What would it be like to have a less destructive power, or even a positive one? What about one that's much easier to hide? "But a meta is still a meta to him." Rebecca shakes her head. "To him, I'm in a school of potential terrorists, like the ones at the rally and all the ones in the past. It's just a matter of time until someone goes off and we show the poison we've been hiding behind our backs." No offense, Enya.

She frowns, shifting in her seat so that her back is pressed against the corner. "It's the fact that we are metas. Plain an simple. One person who's bad ruins everything, and we have at least fifteen years of things happening to back up what he believes." She pauses long enough to set down the unfinished cups. "We're unnatural. Freaks."
