[A week rolls round and Angela's back to normal, feeling more than a little awkward about the whole thing. She'd forgotten what it was like to be that young, and she wasn't sure if she misses how trusting she used to be able to be, or was given more of a reminder of how stupid she used to be in the past. What she was annoyed about, however, was ( Read more... )

...Mom?

iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 16:12:40 UTC

Yes, Peter. Seems everything's back to normal.

spongetastic August 4 2009, 16:15:24 UTC

Just checking. [a pause] Mom, about all that... I wanted to ask you something.

iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 16:19:06 UTC

[thinks back to some of the things she'd said, and knows that this could be anything, but nods]

What is it, Peter?

spongetastic August 4 2009, 16:24:07 UTC

How come you've never mentioned your sister to us before?

Peter iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 16:30:10 UTC

[a bit of a sigh, and closes her eyes as she speaks]

Because for a very long time, Peter, I thought she was dead.

Mom spongetastic August 4 2009, 16:40:28 UTC

Oh. I... I'm sorry. [awkward~]

What happened to her?

Peter iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 17:04:38 UTC

When I was sixteen years-old, my sister and I were brought to a facility called Coyote Sands, where they were studying people like us. My ability was subtle, not dangerous by any means, but my sister -- we hadn't realized it at the time, but she could manipulate the weather with her emotions.

One night, myself and several friends I'd met at the facility -- Charles Devereaux, Elle's father, Daniel Linderman -- had snuck out, away from the guards. While we were gone, my sister panicked in one of her sessions with the doctors, and used her ability to attack them. As a result, the guards panicked, and they -- they killed all the people with abilities that were there.

Mom spongetastic August 4 2009, 17:16:02 UTC

[a long silence as he processes all of this. Not much he can say, though her story does put some puzzle pieces together]

I'm sorry, Mom. So... is that why you all founded the Company? To keep something like that from happening again?

Peter iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 17:20:22 UTC

Exactly. In some aspects we failed, but -- we did the best we could for the time that we had.

Mom spongetastic August 4 2009, 17:24:40 UTC

Oh. [doesn't really know what else to say]

Peter iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 17:25:41 UTC

[a bit of a sigh]

We did what we could to try and protect you, Peter. Even if it didn't seem like it.

Mom spongetastic August 4 2009, 17:27:18 UTC

I know, Mom. It's okay. From what I've heard, things turn out all right in the end.

Peter iwas_cassandra August 4 2009, 17:35:51 UTC

From what Claire has said, yes. Things do seem to pan out.

[and she suddenly misses Nathan. Not that she didn't already, but -- moreso]
