Valencia arrives!

"It's been so, so long."

There's a hint of relief in her voice.

"What is it?"

He goes in for a hug! Has Valencia looked like she's aged much, or any at all?

"Hi, hi, hi! So you remember when we tried to discern the root of your powers but everything came back inconclusive?"

Valencia has aged as much as her Asian genes has allowed her, so she does look older, but moreso in a sleep deprivation way than in a wrinkly way.

She hugs Eugene.

"Many years ago, yes. Almost... Two decades ago? What was found out?"

She's earnest, since she's waited so long to find out what she is.

"I, uh...well. How do you say this..."

He leads them to sit down in his fancy ass office with big comfy red chairs.

"Are you familiar with H.P. Lovecraft?"

She sits down.

"I do know that his stories were about frightening things beyond comprehension and perception..."

"Right! Anything else? You remember what happened to people who came into contact with the old ones?"

"I know the Shadow Over Innsmouth story... Aside from that, brains melting so hard that bodily functions go haywire. Not fun stuff... And... A part of me thought it was an elder god-ish dragon meant to swim the depths of a primordial ocean."

Looking at you, Valentina. Wherever you are now, however integrated you may be.

"Injected, yeah... Well... I couldn't think properly, to put it one way. There was so much going on that there wasn't enough cognitive space for me to form rational thoughts."

The fear of Georgina being killed made something... Snap and rend her into two entities.

"I don't know what you mean..."

She squints in thought.

"I don't think... So? Been much less stable since, if that's what you mean..."

"Less stable like...brain melting?" He mimes the action.

"Immediately after being injected, you can say that my brain melted, yeah. Just a haze of noise and senses going off. The Id doing whatever pleased it, moments of involuntary actions here and there."

As for after she "got her brain back", her powers have been more sensitive to her manipulation, though not quite as sensitive in perception as before.

"Nowadays, my power is something like a nuclear reactor I have to monitor to keep things stable."

The Super Ego keeping the Id in check.

"I don't think anyone could ever be the same after getting their powers."

"But that's where I think you're different. You didn't inherit these powers like most metahumans and you didn't learn magic like I did...you were infused with it."

He leans back in his oversized chair, taking a long slow breath.

"We think you were injected with the essence of an ancient one."

Valencia blinks.

"...Is that even possible?"

She makes a really confused face.

"Can they even have a physical form TO be injected?"

She feels like this right now.

"That one time we explored... That purple-ish light in the wall--Was that one of them? YOU GUYS HAVE AN ELDER BEING?"

SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Valencia slides down in her seat.

Well. If she can pull and reform the fabric of reality into an ink-like goo, this shouldn't be surprising.

"Valentina did prefer being an encompassing dragon in a limitless space, so I suppose it would make sense that taking form is moreso... Um... A compromise in existence to inhabit this plane... Or something like that. How on earth did anyone even GET the essence..."

She's still processing it all.

"That's what we're trying to figure out. Who did you say injected you with the 'serum' or so you thought?"

"My godfather, mentor-figure at the time. He went by the name Novacaine Riesling, or Nova. He's crime boss, which I only learned when I came to San Diego from San Francisco. The serum did come from the black market. He wanted to see if it was the real deal."

"Dead. Killed him when the serum took to me. Right in the testing room. What happened was a blur, so I THINK he's dead, anyways. Valentina is sure she killed him."

Valencia sits back up properly.

"He practically raised me with my aunt and uncle. I was born with cloudy grey-ish eyes, doctor said I was blind, so he was my helper. Turned out I wasn't blind."

"Wait what? I don't think I know this story." Eugene leans in expectantly, setting his pen down.

"Me killing Nova, or my childhood?"

She doesn't talk much about her history.

"Let's start at the childhood and end there." He points with his finger from beginning to end of the timeline that appears momentarily in fizzling white light.
