Seattle, 2021 Sebastian's spare room 12:01 PM
I am suddenly standing in white. It's bizarre, because I don't remember this dream starting, or the last one ending. I sigh to myself. Although Logan's much better in real life, I'll take a dream about him over one with freaky whiteness anyday.
It's funny when you dream, because although your mind is actually creating the world that you're in, you can't consciously control what happens. You can want something to happen, or to not happen, but if you are dreaming it, there's nothing you can do about the outcome. Like the dream I'm in now. All I can see is white. And I can hear. Ticking. Endless ticking. I'm telling my body to move, do something, but dammit, it won't move. Suddenly I feel like I'm drowning in a loss of control. I scream out.
"Logan!"
Seattle, 2021 Sebastian's spare room 12:15 PM
"Logan!"
My head whips around at Max's desperate cry. I wheel over to the bed, abandoning my laptop, and touch her hand.
"Max, honey, wake up." I whisper to her, shaking her gently. "You're having a nightmare."
Max opens her eyes and looks blearily around the room. When her eyes fall on me, a look of comprehension crosses her face.
"Logan" She says calmly. "There's. There's something."
I look at her quizzically. Max is usually more effective at forming full sentences.
"What is it Max?"
"Six." She sits up slowly. "She - She's stuck in there."
"Where?" I ask, confused.
"In her head." Max sighs. "She knows what's going on. We have to wake her up."
Seattle, 2021 Sebastian's lab 12:35 PM
Watching Max peer into one of my microscopes, I am again amazed at the quality of Manticore's creations. Max can take down guys three times her size, AND analyse DNA. It seems she's good at everything. Although Logan did mention something about her being a terrible cook. I look over, and Max is sitting, a stunned look on her face.
"What is it, Max?" I ask her.
"I don't know Seb." She sighs. "Her DNA. It seems kinda familiar? I don't know." She sighs again. "It's pretty damn complicated. All I know is, we gotta wake her up. It must be hell lying there, bored to distraction."
"Well, at Least Logan's in there with her now." I say, bringing a smile to Max's face.
"Yeah. I just hope he's being interesting." She smirks.
Seattle, 2021 Sebastian's second guestroom 12:36 PM
La la la la la I can't believe this. I have never been so bored in my entire life. God dammit, don't friends usually sit with people in coma's, and, I dunno, talk to them, or something? I mean, I am so bored! Hell, I'll settle for someone turning the TV on!
I am brought out of my thoughts by the sound of the door opening. As I can't turn my head or open my eyes to see who it is, I have to wait until they say something. I think it's Logan though. He feels things so strongly.
He sits down quietly next to the bed, and begins to speak.
"Hi Six. It's me, Logan. Uh, Max had a dream. she. she said that you're stuck in there, that you know what's going on. I believe her too. After all, you're a Manticore soldier, right?" He chuckles somewhat half- heartedly at this, tapering off into a sigh. "I just wish you'd wake up, you know? I know I freaked you out before, with the hugging. But I don't know. I want to be able to talk to you, and hear you sing again." He trails off, and I can feel how sad he is.
At Logan's last words, my head starts to buzz. I lift my hand to stop it, and look up, into Logan's shocked face.
"Oh my God, Six!" He grins, pulling me into a hug.
I pull back a few seconds later, grinning. "Uh, Logan. I'm hungry"
Seattle, 2021 Six's apartment 1:04 PM
I jump when my cell rings, but I answer it quickly.
"Hello"
"Hey E-man!"
"Six! You're awake" I can't seem to take the grin off my face.
"Yeah, I was getting bored with the whole sleeping thing." I laugh at that. I can practically hear her huge grin over the phone, and I can't wait to see her.
"OK, well do you want me to come get you?" I ask her.
"Nah, it's OK. Max and Logan will bring me home." She answers quietly. "I, uh, can we talk when I get home."
Getting worried at Six's tone, I answer quickly. "Sure."
"OK." She sighs. "See you soon."
Seattle, 2021 Six's apartment 1:44 PM
I sit quietly on the couch while Elliot cooks me something to eat. I did offer to help, but hey, if he wants to be all macho, well that's his problem.
I grin at him when he hands me a plate of pasta and sits down. He smiles back, and eat.
After we wash up, I decide that now is a good time to talk to Elliot. I have to tell him about Max and Logan being my parents. I realised today that I could've died, and my secret would have died with me.
The stunned look on my brother's face when I explain the situation is classic. I can tell he doesn't exactly want to believe me. I think he's been in denial his whole life about the fact that we're half-human.
"Hey, it's OK you know." I smile at him. "I actually don't want them to know, I just can't handle it alone, you know?"
Elliot smiles at me and pulls me into a hug. "So that's what the emotional breakdown was all about."
"I guess so." I sigh.
"Oh my God." Elliot grimaces. "Max was looking at your DNA earlier. Seb told me she thought she recognised it, but she wasn't sure."
Damn damn damn. "What're we gonna do?"
"I don't know." Elliot sighs. "But you have a show to play."
That certainly puts a smile on my face.
Seattle, 2021 Crash 6:05 PM
I'm so glad Six woke up this morning. I can't help smiling as Logan and I sit in crash, waiting for her to perform. I was a little sceptical of Six's ability to stand on stage and perform tonight, but she said she'd be fine.
"It's cool Max, I won't even have to stand." She grinned at me. "I'm gonna play the piano."
"You play the piano?"
"Sure."
I snuggle closer into Logan's embrace as Six comes up on stage.
She grins at the crowd. "Hi everyone." The crowd cheers, obviously happy that Six is back. She blushes and sits down at the piano. The noise in the crowd dies down, and Six begins to sing.
I didn't notice
But I didn't care
I tried being honest
But that lead me nowhere
I watched the station
Saw the bus pulling through
And I don't mind saying
A part of me left with you
One of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
Cause that's where I'm home
Did I make you nervous?
Did I ask for too much?
Was I not deserving one second of your touch?
One of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
Cause that's where I'm home
What would you do if I could have you?
Oh if I could
I'd let you feel everything I'm thinking
Wouldn't that be nice?
One of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you
