Confrontation, a Worlds Collide Cookie

[nomdeplume13]

Frank chuckled when Russell walked in the door, still looking a little dazed. Kain stepped aside to let the tall blond in, a smile on his face that probably mirrored the one on Frank’s own face.

“So you heard Kain and I are going to be grandfathers,” Frank said.

Russell managed a smile now that the shocked and confused expression gone from his

That was great, poor Aideen I feel so bad for her.
It was good that she got to vent a little.
Nicely done!

[nomdeplume13]

Thanks so much. It went a lot of different ways I didn't expect.

[nomdeplume13]

Yeah, realizing a boo-boo I made. You specifically might want to re-read this. I didn't copy Frank and Kain's part.

[vexed_wench]

Kain and Frank
I will

[shinelumiere]

ah, the fun of having your young children surprise you with their insight. I love it, beautiful as always.

[nomdeplume13]

Thanks so much. Well, Nikki's always been insightful, but she's now 11, so it's only gotten better.

[shinelumiere]

*grin* yup

[nomdeplume13]

Crud. I didn't realize the first part didn't show up at all. That's what happens when you respond through your e-mail. Anyway, new part.

Wow that was emotional!

Well done lady and you do Russell so well (just thought I'd throw that in there) ^_^

[nomdeplume13]

Thanks. There's actually more of it now, I messed up a bit, or something. The first part of this didn't copy.

[shinelumiere]

if you'd have never told us it was missing a part, we'd have never known, but the rest does let you know where Russel came to his desicion to confront Aideen

[nomdeplume13]

Well, still, sorry I forgot that.

Wrath or Fletcher? Why didn't she kill herself and save them both?_(rhetorical)

You don't have tags with your story. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any of the "Worlds Collide 'Verse" stories/cookies.

This was pretty heavy/dark/desperate/emotional_but at the end light and coming to terms.

I think you have a tense mistake in the following_I think 'have' should be 'had'. Have makes it sound like he's still trying to get them 2gether; had makes it clear that it was in the past:

>>>“Aideen, I… I like you. You are wonderful for my brother. I have been trying to get you two together back when it was illegal.”<<<

Well, to answer the rhetorical question (which I know is against the reason for a rhetorical question) she did try. Dante wouldn't let her. That was what the gun under her bed was for with the lipstick around the nozzle.

Thanks so much for catching the tense thing. No, no tags. Though I'm trying to put them all into my memories. I never did tags, and when I had, there were issues. So if you go into my memories under roy/ed cookies, or at the top of my journal, they should be there except for the newest ones.

[asm613]

'memories' just as good as 'tags'. A lot better than going through hundreds of pages of journal. I remember the gun thing; I just didn't remember that Dante could break into "aideen's" time with the body. I thought there were times when Aideen wasn't influenced by Dante.

[nomdeplume13]

More or less, Aideen never really had any time in her own body after she was about ten or so. Dante always had some control, just like Aideen sometimes managing to break through, like with the Fletcher kiss. The horror she had was Aideen, even if it didn't last long enough for her not to go to Phillip.
It was why Aideen never flat-out told her fathers about Dante and left hints in the alchemy books, which he threw out.
