Once Bill had discovered people had woken up with powers they'd not had yesterday, he'd not been able to help the surge of excitement as he dug out his wand - it had been so long, he'd long since stopped carrying it. When it proved to still be in effect a rather useless, albeit nice-looking, piece of wood, he'd shoved it back in its place in

There has got to be something in this pile of food that doesn't make her sick.

"Come on fetus, work with me," she murmurs, picking up a muffin and some fruit and wondering if that's even close to the amount of calories she's supposed to be eating.

"So, you normal Bill or shooting rainbows out your ass?"

[red_ponytail]

With a look of mock consideration, Bill twisted at the waist in an attempt to get a look over his shoulder at his own arse. "Nope, don't think so," he said, turning back to face Rachel with a grin.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" he said, sobering a bit as he looked at her. "Want me to fix you something a bit more bland?"

[sluttylyingliar]

"I'm fine," she says, waving a hand as she gingerly bites into a muffin. "Steve McGarrett has got me on these protein shake things full of vitamins or some shit so I just have to make sure to eat enough all the rest of the time. All without getting unnecessarily fat."

[red_ponytail]

"Don't worry about that, love, you're eating for two now," Bill assured her. He'd seen his mum go through this enough times to know a bit, at least. "How about some tea, then?"

He's hours off his surprised drug trip now, though Billy's still a bit groggy, burying guilt and starving. He isn't looking forward to the prospect of having to keep from touching Tony all weekend (or if he does, he's going to have to prepare for the inevitable trip that follows) or the explanations that will need to come out when the weekend's over, but to keep his mind off it, Billy's been practicing.

His second helping of pasta is cooling on his plate as he stares down at his unused spoon, fingers resting on the table only a few inches from the metal. Concentrating hard only makes him feel a bit ridiculous, but when the spoon moves a few inches to rest on the back of his hand, he grins in triumph.

Harry had been about to ask his friend why he was staring at Bill's cooking as if it were going to do something very interesting at any second and the waiting was giving him a headache. But then his spoon did something very interesting, and Harry all but collapsed into the chair beside Billy.

"Did that-- I thought-- Did your spoon move? Without you touching it?"

[halfscarlet]

Billy barely registers Harry's presence beside him, focused on moving the spoon again. "Yeah," he breathes, and sits back when it moves a few inches forward, back to its original position. "Yeah, I totally just did that."

Harry blinked and got his elbows up on the table so he could lean closer. Not too close; it was just a spoon. But this was fascinating. "How?" he asked. "What sort of magic have you got?"

Robb and Reynald can usually fend for themselves, but sometimes dinner at the compound is a nice change. And so is the company. Robb pokes his head in, because something smells awfully familiar.

"Is that Susan's lemon cake I smell?"

[red_ponytail]

"It is," Bill confirmed, grinning at Robb. "I'm making the glaze for it now, it's due out of the oven soon. Hungry?"

[_kinginthenorth]

"I certainly am now," Robb says cheerfully. Reynald toddles in then, beaming at Bill.

"Hungry!" he declares.

[red_ponytail]

"I reckon you are, little man," Bill said, and took a piece of fruit small enough for a tiny hand to grasp, which he crouched down and handed to Reynald. "There's a bit to get you started."

If Aidan had gotten a power, so far he hadn't discovered what it was. After several hundred years of having special abilities though, he was oddly fine with not getting anything from the island. Being a human was perfectly fine with him.

Especially when it meant enjoying food like this. Bill was an amazing cook and Aidan always looked forward to his meals.

"This shepherd's pie smells amazing."

[lt_blade]

"Tastes even better." Sonya announced, doing her own slice of sheperd's pie a fair amount of justice.

Even better was that the lemon pound cake was now finished, baking, and Sonya had a fairly decent size on a plate next to the rest of her dinner.

[likesthestooges]

"Glad I decided to come tonight then," Aidan said, giving her a smile. He was fairly sure that Bill wouldn't disappoint but it was nice to have confirmation.

"The pound cake looks good too. Or at least that big slice is a pretty decent recommendation."

[lt_blade]

She grinned. There were times when it really did seem like there wasn't enough food to keep her full, but after those months of getting sick just from the smell of food-she wasn't about to complain.

"What can I say, when the babies want something it's either 'hand over or get out of the way'."

Why not anyway, it wasn't like the rest of the food wasn't unhealthy: boar meat was good for protien, iron and potasium, and the vegetable stew was a given.

I'd gotten tired of waiting, or hiding, or whatever you wanted to call it. And, besides, I'd gotten hungry. So I left my hiding place and went in search of food.

I'd found that, with practise, I could ignore all of the flesh around me. Just about. Sort of. Or, at least, not make a big deal of it. Remembering Coraline's admonishment, I kept my eyes front, entered the Compound, and got dinner from the kitchen. Returning to the rec room, I was suddenly struck by the sight of Luke.

I registered two things. One, he'd been working out. And, two, he looked like he was in a bad mood. Leaving aside one (please!), I decided to offer him some sympathy. Gods knew he could use it. I was also kind of curious.

"Hey," I said, sitting down across from him. "You look like you've had a bad day."

"Every power can be a curse," I said. That was true even before we came to the Island. "But, yeah, it got me too." I felt my cheeks redden. "I got X-Ray vision."
