She should have known better. The nexus was hard enough without all her caffeine but then running into Tom, having that talk with him once more, had been too much.

Sometimes he thinks Juggernaut abilities included extra hearing. In reality, without really realizing it he just noticed Marie's gone, and is keeping a good ear out for her specifically. So he does hear her. He gets all the kids watching a movie and crayoning, and then comes up. "Marie? What's wrong?"

Could just be the hormones. Please, God, let it be the hormones.

Hearing his voice, she jumps, trying to scrub at her eyes with the heels of her hands. "It's...' She whimpers, biting back another sob and trying to catch her breath. "It's nothing. Just...' Lie to him, a tiny voice in her head whispers. Make it easy. Don't start more fights between them.

"I'm just a little... It's nothing." Learning to lie would be a good goal.

"Uh huh." He's been with Tom enough to know every single sign that someone's lying. She's showing most of them. "C'mon. Talk to me." He sits next to her.

She flinchs at that, closing her eyes. "It's nothing. Really. I just ran into Tom in the nexus."

"And?" And he's going to be smashing things later tonight.

"He... he still says I broke him. That... that you and I destroyed him that badly. He was really hurt and upset and I feel terrible.' She sniffles, curling in on herself. "I said I'm sorry, I've tried and I don't know what to do to make it better."

"So what? He's a liar anyway. He probably just wants you to feel bad." Seems denial is contagious. "He's not worth trying to make it better."

"I...' She sighs, rubbing at her face once more. "I think he still loves you."

"Can't. He hates me." The idea, to Cain, is that they're mutually exclusive.

"Yeah, because I don't hate John,' she murmurs, staring down at the floor.

"You can't hate someone and love them at the same time. It doesn't work like that. Right?"

She shrugs, looking down at the floor and shifting to lay down once more. "I love John but, yeah, I do have hatred for him."

"Oh." More at the "I love John" part.

"Tom's not like that anyway."

"I will always love him, Cain. I'm not in love with him,' she murmured, shifting back to nuzzle at his throat. "And that is all I will say on that to not upset you."

"Okay. But I'm not upset." He's used to accepting nothing as an answer. "You're not still upset about that I didn't tell you everything that happened between him and me, right?"

"I wish one of you would have before we were intimate,' she admits, sighing. "But I'm not angry. Can't be angry with you. You're too cute."
