Lina, how's your leg? Okay? Henry and Henry, I'd ask about your side and shoulder, but I should hope that if something were horribly wrong, you'dve told me to my face, so. If either of you are up for more shooting practice tomorrow, let me know

Percocet makes my head swim. Other than that, I'm mostly okay.

I'm never doing that again.

Thank God Christ for that, at least. And yeah, please don't. ...I hope it's all right to ask this, but, do you know why it went so pear-shaped? Did you push yourself, or was it something about him?

I know all the good migraine foods by now, I could whip something up for you, if you'd like. Henry won't mind me using his stove.

...I am kind of hungry.

He was-- it's an Alessa memory. He punched Lisa and I got angry, like Alessa trying to tear the streets apart.

Either I don't have that kind of power anymore, though, or it'd cost me too much to use it. I'm actually kind of surprised I woke up.

Well, those're magic words. Want anything in particular?

And an easy thing to get angry about on its own, memories or no.

It's a weird thing to be glad about, but I'm glad at least he isn't the one doing this. Maybe, we should see if we can get someone from the Nexus or the Bureau with whatever magic stuff they've got going on to have a look at you? Becky is really good with medicine, but if this is something connected to your power, might be worth seeing if there's anything that can be done to heal that up.

French toast sounds really good for some reason... but I should probably eat something with a lot of iron.

I don't know if it's something that heals up. I actually don't even know if it was ever my power in the first place, you know?

We can start with bacon and French toast heavy on the eggs, and maybe hit you with more meat or spinach or something later. If you're feeling woozy, giving you a bunch of red meat on an empty stomach probably won't help anything.

I don't know either, but looking for answers can't hurt. Seems tough to just trust it to sleep off, not when it was enough for nose bleeding and a headache like that. It's obviously your call, not mine, I'm just worried about you.

...that would be awesome.

I'm worried about me too. It's why I'm sort of bothering the medic girl... I don't think I'm okay.

Consider it done.

Becky's really nice, I'm sure you're not bothering her. No doubt she'd rather you get taken care of than that she have one less conversation.

Whatever you need, we'll make sure you get it. Toast included.

Thank you.

I'm... really sorry, by the way. I don't know if I told you that.

[locked to Cheryl]

[eileen303]

You're welcome. Anything I can do, I'm really happy to.

I admit I'm not quite following you on the apology, though. Sorry for what?

[locked to Eileen]

[not_alessa]

The whole clever duplicate plan.

[locked to Cheryl]

[eileen303]

It was a clever plan, and it worked, Cheryl, there's nothing to apologize for. She never hurt anyone, and she kept him distracted for a long time. He'dve decided on the same plan he has now with or without her, the only difference is I'd be crazier right now. Or I'd be there and his. I'm not, so, thank you for that.

It doesn't feel like something I should be thanked for.

[locked to Cheryl]

[eileen303]

I understand, I think. It feels a little weird to be thankful for it, because I didn't enjoy it, really. Just, being happy about her existing was never going to happen.

But it helped us, me especially, I know that it did. If I'd had to keep up what I'd been doing, I would've completely fallen apart, and she took the heat off and let me recover a bit from that. So an honest "thanks" it is.
