But never discount the possiblity of a Life Day miracle, boys and girls B|

[Holy crap.

Holy crap.

It's been weeks now, but he's back. He's really back, and he's here and he's talking and he looks terrible, but he's alive and he's here, and she's currently in a state of total shock.]

Dad?

[senatorinspace]

Claire? [Oh, thank God, she's alright. Not that that reaction is all that logical, but he still is disoriented enough to not know where he's at, and the last he knew, they were still all trying to avoid Sylar. And failing. In his case.]

[regeneracy]

What, do you have any other teenage daughters that look and sound like me? [This comes out more bitchy than sarcastic, but she's been really emotional lately, he'll have to forgive her.

She looks skeptical that he even remembers his time here, so she starts that lovely process of building up emotional walls so he doesn't hurt her further.]

You don't remember being here before?

[senatorinspace]

"Here". [His eyes are drawn to that alien skyline again, and he shakes his head] ... Claire, where is here?

Welcome back, Senator.

[She won't say she's missed him or anything.]

Private forever

[wat. it takes him a moment for the deja vu to settle down] Back.

... Ruby, isn't it?

[sent_farfaraway]

[Take your time, she's just going to admire dat hair.]

Got it in one.

You're back on Coruscant and I'm sure you have more important people to talk to right now, [like your daughter] - but I'm just your friendly girl for hire, making sure you know she's still for hire.

[senatorinspace]

This is insane. I'm supposed to be dead, not... whatever this is.

Not anymore. And to think, it was starting to look like you'd never come back.

[Angry as hell] You've got a lot of nerve responding to this.

[intuitivelyapt]

I'm a nervy kind of guy. Is it so wrong to want to give you a warm welcome?

[senatorinspace]

Considering you just gave me a pretty cold farewell? I think so.

[Waitaminute...] Twice even. You killed me. When I was here before. [Cue Celine Dion. IT'S ALL COMING BAAACK TO MEEE NOWWW] I remember exactly what you did. And if you think you're going to get away with it...

[buryyoualive]

I guarantee senator, this is in fact real. And not the afterlife.

[senatorinspace]

Lilah? [That name comes back pretty quickly] Er. Miss Morgan, isn't it?

[buryyoualive]

Either one works. But yes, you're correct. I'm Lilah Morgan.

[senatorinspace]

Sorry, I'm trying to wrap my head around all this. It's been almost a year...

[Have a grateful looking British man on your screen Senator.]

Senator, you're returned. Welcome back.

[senatorinspace]

I wish it could be a happier occasion.
