Whoa, totally scary side of Connor! But I feel for him in his pain. He's right about the others and now after hearing Connor talk about Jenny, I feel guilty for still not liking her that much. Interesting idea with the Anti-ARC-Project! Scary... but fascinating at the same time! I like what he did to Lester's flat. That was brilliant! Lester's going to have a hard time with that mess...

Thanks. I was amazed how Connor always kept going, even when the others treated him bad, especially Abby in season 3. I thought some day he would get to a point where he would snap.
A flooded flat, especially one with a hardwood floor, is horrible. Lester will probably get a fit when he gets home.
Hey, you don't have to like Jenny. We all have different views about the characters.

Yeah I always attributed that to how forgiving that Connor was. He holds a very innocent heart it seems, which is one of the reasons that I love him so much. I'm just surprised at how much he tolerated from Abby in all the seasons. Him wanting to leave the ARC has crossed my mind and I briefly mentioned it in "Not Forever Lost" so I was quite excited to see you writing about him leaving the ARC as well! It is curious to me on the many reasons why Connor would leave and I absolutely love your take on it!

Heh well there won't be much that Lester can do about it. I like the twist with Jenny already being with Helen in the Anti-ARC. And no worries, you're slowly convincing me that she's not as horrible as she seems. My mind has been changed before and I quite like not hating any character in a show. It makes it easier to write about them. Stephen though... I just... sorely tempted to have Giselle bite him good for harassing Connor so much.

Thank you. *hugs*
I'm sure if Stephen gets bitten there would a long queue of fan girls to kiss it better.;)
I'm sure Jenny has an agenda of her own why she joined Helen.:)
Since I wrote the Helen, Jenny story for the Anomaly exchange "A small walk through time" I can imagine them working togther rather well.

Scary Connor there.. when he snaps he really snaps! Poor Connor as well, I can see his point, but don't think they were being malicious to him. Interesting idea with the Anti-ARC, might we see more of this?

I think Abby's behaviour was finally the last straw. Connor is angry and in such mood people tend to see everything in a darker light and just carelessly actions or remarks seem to be malicious acts.
I think the story was a one shot. I've still too many unfinished stories and ideas I want to explore first.

Ooh, very neat idea! I hope you have more of this story in the pipeline *g*.

I like the idea of a harder-edged Connor, one who's finally snapped.

talliw August 3 2009, 00:17:12 UTC

Thank you. I think the three would make an awesome team, a force which could bring down the ARC.
Oh dear, now I want to explore that idea more.:(

OMG that last line killed me dead! Dead I tell you!

Poor Connor, that's the first time I've ever found him scary!

I join the cries for more. :D That was such an awesome idea.

Thank you. *sends Jenny for resurrection*;)
Do you realise Jenny and Sarah would be bitter enemies if I ever decided to write more of that?*eg*

Yay for Connor retribution, it is a bit scary though. I guess I've always seen him as the cuddly supportive one. But he does take a lot crap from everyone. I just don't know if he'd be jumping from the frying pan into the fire with those two. I'm afraid he would be setting himself up to be used and abused once again.

I think Connor didn't exactly know what he was going to do as he was waiting for Helen. He was just angry and wanted his team members teach a lesson.
But then his anger boiled up and Helen offered him the change to get his revenge.
Perhaps he will regret his decicion after he has calmed down again.
