He woke that night with a splitting headache. Visions of battle still swirling around in his head. Foggy as his waking mind took over but still there. Still haunting him. It had been like this for the last few months, if he was honest with himself, and half the time he wasn't. So every morning he pulled himself out of bed and quietly padded into the kitchen to find some of that coffee that Sarah liked to drink. He had felt off; ever sense his father had willed his power away. He didn't know if it was the ascension or the extra power, but something was nagging at the back of his mind. Something that should have been obvious. Caleb Danvers sighed and took a deep drink of coffee. If he was up anyways he should do something with his time.
He found himself, twenty minutes later driving. No real destination in his mind, just the need to get out and go. Usually Reid was the restless one among them. Tonight though Three months after Chase, Caleb was the one not knowing what do with himself.
He ended up on the bridge he had taken Sarah to, that day he told her everything. His thoughts were tripping over themselves. Not stopping. The what ifs, the why me's. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew each and every one of those questions had an answer. He knew them all too, but no one ever said that Caleb couldn't be irrational for once in his life.
He couldn't tell you how long he sat there. Just that the sun had started peeking over the trees when it struck him. The reason he had been feeling so off. His father, no matter how little the man seemed to care, was still his father. For one moment in Caleb's life his father had protected him, rather than the other way around. His father had willed his power and his life away to keep his only son alive. He felt restless and off kilter, because all his life his father sat in an old arm chair, in an old house rotting away. And now the man was gone.
Caleb watched the sun as it rose higher in the sky casting orange rays across the lightening sky. He made a decision. One that he would remember forever. He would never be his father, something that he had decided ages ago when he had first developed the Power, but he would also never forget the man.
Caleb Danvers silently climbed back into his car. Head suddenly free of pain and drove back home.
