Ooh, so much drama! I love the insight into Boomer here - as hateful as she is by that point, it's fascinating to consider what she'd think about Helo and Athena.

Thanks! Also I think there's something there about Hera, too. Boomer wouldn't say it and I don't even know if she'd have the insight to know it, but the fact that Hera recognized her as not-Athena, while Helo didn't recognize Athena as not-Boomer...she got the short end in both those cases.

Thanks!

Excellent! I can definitely picture it--the edge in her voice, his genuine attempt to apologize and then the shift into anger.

[kleenexcow]

Oh, Helo, had such good intentions.

Ouch! What an interesting insight into how the copies see each other. Boomer had so much sadness to carry, and her getting this mad makes sense, and it makes sense, too, that it's directed towards him.

Yeah, the Boomer and Athena dynamic just interests the heck out of me. Lots of other models had variations, but the Eights seemed to be the only ones that ever really outright disagreed within their line. Poor Boomer. :(

This was awesome! I've never thought about how Boomer would feel about her best friend having a baby with a copy of herself. This makes a lot of sense to me. And explains some of her actions. Great!

Thank you darlin'! I'm glad it makes sense to you--it just made sense to me why the existence of Hera would bug her.
