Title Photograph
By Ori1
I saw Push tonight and this little drabble came to me. It is rough possibility for what happens next.
Of course you all have a vague clue that I own nothing of these characters.
It took one Photograph to change everything they thought.
He really should not have been surprised to find it out. In fact it was the only thing that made any sense. From the moment he had met Cassie he had felt a simultaneous urge to strangle her and protect her. He had wanted to strangle plenty of people in the past but next to never had wanted to protect any of them. Only Kira really, he stopped that painful thought in its track.
They would have probably never known if not for the fact that having traveled to France they ran into a old friend of their parents, a Stitch. Not just any stitch apparently but the one who delivered Cassie nearly fourteen years ago. And had a picture of the happy event to prove it.
A picture that had the newborn Cassie being held by her happy parents while her big brother was right next to them. It was easy for Nick to recognize his, their father and himself in the picture.
The Stitch, a woman named Elisa, further explained that three months after Cassie was born the visions of Division killing the two children started. That was when their parents began the plan to bring down division. A plan that would start with them separating the family, wiping Nick's memory of his mother and sister and replacing it with the memory of his mother dying in a car accident.
Apparently two hours before his father died, his...mother contacted him and told him of the vision of Cassie giving him the flower and how it would go from there.
He handled the revelation quickly. It was the only way to deal when you lived like he did. Cassie, on the other hand got very quiet and wandered off by herself. Which is now why he was in parts of France he really did not want to be in during the middle of the night.
Finally he found her huddling in an alley.
"Cassie come on. It's time to go." He wished her could tell her that it was time to go home. At that moment he would have given anything to give her that much security.
"Why didn't she tell me Nick. Why did she keep me all alone." Cassie was bawling now. Not the little tears that she would occasionally let escape when the weight of the future became too much to bear.
"I don't know baby. But we are not alone anymore and I will never let anything happen to you. Promise." She smiled. Her face was completely wet and she was freezing. "Come on let's get you inside." Nick grabbed her hand and pulled her along.
"What are we going to do Nick?" There was nothing there for Cassie to see. The future and all its variable blank before her.
"I think it is time for us to go get our Mom."
