I'm back. I'm sorry the last one was so short. And mushy. I don't like mush, but it had
to be written. Anyway, I have another fanfic coming soon and of course it's Excalibur.
I'll try an X-men fic later if these two go well.
"Dad? What happened? Why-" questions flooded out of me, but Dad cut me off.
"Talia, calm down for a minute. I need to gather my own thoughts." He said sharply. I'd
never heard him speak like that to me before and I abruptly shut my mouth.
"Talia," he began, "Meggan is in the infirmary. We think she might be dying."
"Dying?!" I cried. "But she's invincible... isn't she?"
"Invulnerable. There's a difference." he replied.
"Ya. One gets you killed." I muttered.
"Talia? Are you alright?" he asked, either not hearing me or choosing to ignore my comment.
"No, but I want to work through it alone." I said.
He thought for a minute, then, "Alright, but promise me something."
"What?"
Another pause. "Don't do anything you can't take back."
"I promise." I said embracing him, then I went upstairs, packed my few things and climbed
out the guest room window thankful for wearing a double straped backpack.
I ran out to the garage and stealthily made my way to the Mercedes that Brittany had gotten
for her sixteenth birthday. I threw my bag into the passenger's seat and realized two very
important things. a) I didn't have a key and b) Brittany's uncle had watched me do everything.
"Very nice. I'd almost think you were a thief, not the daughter of one of the most religious
men I know." he said.
"Are you angry at me?" I asked, knowing full well the extent of his powers.
"No. I've run away from my problems before. You know what happened?" he asked, retrieving my
bag from where I had thrown it.
"What?" I asked, still afraid. I could feel the power radiating off of him and it scared me.
I climbed out of the car and he helped me up on the hood.
"I ended up nearly dying and I had to go 'through hell and back' so to speak to bring myself
back to myself." he replied.
"Hunh?" I asked.
"My powers drove me nuts." he said bluntly.
"Oh. I didn't- I mean- uh... how about you put me out of my misery, shut me up and drag me
inside to face my dad?" I said, lacking words to reply.
"I'm going to have to. I know what's going on anyway, and I understand. My wife is already
in the house, but I insisted on coming out and checking the cars. I think you might want to
come in though. I'll explain you, okay?" he said.
"Alright." I replied following him inside.
Okay, I said I'd decide, but... I can't do it all by myself! I'm to sentimental. Help!
