Tereus waited till Deunan came out in her swimming suit, and watched her swim the length of the pool, he finally decided to sit down on the bottom of the bleachers, he knew her heart had sunk even more hearing that they had finally found Briareos' body. Slowly he rubbed his face,

~What can I do? I'm her partner and I feel so helpless, I don't know how to help her, and hell it makes it even worse when I look like he used to before the change.~ Tereus having his hands over his face.

"What are you doing in here?" Deunan snapped, Tereus looked up,

"Deunan, you have to talk to me, I am your partner," Tereus a bit harsh, she was holding onto the side of the pool, she looked at him.

"There's nothing to talk about, Briareos died when he changed into the cyborg, and now he is dead once more," Deunan upset.

"Deunan, you know what I am talking about, let me help you with this," Tereus explained, Deunan knew there was nothing that anyone could do to bring back Briareos,

"There is nothing, Tereus, there's nothing that you can do," Deunan explained softly.

"Deunan, I couldn't leave you up there with him, and you know that Briareos wouldn't have wanted you to die, I just want to help you get rid of all this guilt and pain," Tereus explained. Deunan slowly lifted herself out of the pool from where she was, slowly walked over to him and sat down by him. Seeing his lip bleeding she suddenly felt bad that she had used him as a punching bag, slowly her finger reached out and wiped the blood away,

"I did a pretty good job of kicking your ass huh?" Deunan whispered, Tereus laughed a little,

"Yeah, I'm alright though, you although, you have a lot of rage built up in you," Tereus leaning back against the other bleachers like she had, he glanced at her.

"It felt good though, letting all that rage out," Deunan explained as she glanced at him, he could see the rings around her eyes that were so full of life and even sparkles, like she was the happiness person in the whole world, but the only person that had made her feel like that and act like that was gone. There was that awkward silence again,

"I think I am going to go home," Deunan thinking it was the best thing for her right now, since they had Briareos' body there she came a chance of bumping into it and she knew she couldn't handle that.

"Want me to drive you?" Tereus asked, she patted his leg,

"I just need some time," Deunan quietly, Tereus wanted to scream out at her,

~Damn it Deunan, you have had all the time in the world to yourself for two damn months! Just let me be there for you already. ~ Tereus screamed out in his head instead. Tereus watched Deunan leave, there had to be a way to get her over this, to help her from falling apart, he decided that after work he would go to her place and bring some beers over. Slowly Tereus got up and hit the showers, when he got out he cleaned his eye and his lip and walked out to report to the boss.

"Hey, boss, where are they keeping Briareos?" Tereus asked,

"He's down in the lab, do me a favor and go check on Deunan, if I know her she doesn't need to be alone right now," the boss explained,

"I planned on going after work," Tereus notifying him,

"I would rather you go now, besides, it's kind of slow today, we have plenty of men to handle things here, stay by the phone though in case I need you," the boss explained,

"Of course," Tereus walking out, he went to see Briareos before he left.
