Note: Thank you for the wonderfully encouraging comments. And yes, the similiarity between Chloe's
mutant abilities and the powers of Piper Halliwell of Charmed are no coincedence. *G* I've been a
big Charmed fan for years, particularly of Piper so it's my little nod to the show. I'll try to
have another Chloe heavy chapter up by the end of the day. Thanks! ~ Medie ~
Closing the door behind her, Erin sighed and looked into the mirrored gaze of the man waiting
against the far wall.
"How is she?" Scott prompted quietly.
"Scared," Was her frank reply. "but I can't say I blame her. She's taking an awfully big step in
going back to Smallville so soon."
The two teachers fell into step as they began walking down the hall, being careful to keep their
voices low.
"What do you think?" He asked, waiting for her to move down the stairs ahead of him. "Is she going
back too soon?"
The blonde frowned thoughtfully. "Ordinarily, I'd say yes. Most kids need a longer period of time
to even *begin* to master their powers but Chloe did that in record time. She already has
phenomenal control."
"She does have a remarkable drive behind her." Scott agreed. "She amazed us all, she's so..."
"Little, blonde, and cute?" His friend grinned. "I'm surprised Mr. Summers, I didn't peg you for
the type to believe in stereotypes."
He echoed her grin. "Who said I did? What I was *going* to say - before I was so rudely
interrupted - was that she seemed so perky. Perky and driven don't usually go together but Chloe
pulls it off."
"Precisely my point, my earlier point," Erin amended. "she's capable of far more than she's
aware of. She's more than able to deal with everyday life as a mutant."
"So you do think this is the right decision for Chloe?" He asked once more.
"Yes."
