Meet the Parents
Opal City

Okay, deep breaths, even if she didn't actually breathe anymore.  It was still a pretty good steadying action.  A quick teleport from Harry had brought Heather, Jess, and Harry himself to Opal City, and a relatively short flight had brought them to outside her parents' house.

It was a pretty decent sized townhouse.  Heather's father, she explained, was a doctor, and her mother a lawyer. 

She stared at her cellphone.  Call first, let them know she was outside.  She could knock, sure (hell, she had keys), but there was only so much surprise she wanted to dish out in one move.

Another breath.  "Thanks for coming with me, guys."

"She's been dealin' pretty well too all things considerin'. A change like this is huge. She's been doing well," Jess offers with a slow smile.

"And Cindy.... she's sort of our team leader? She's been doing everything she can to make sure we're all happy and adjusting well."

She knows they know a little bit about the HQ. Heather had mentioned it. "I'm sure if ya needed anything answered Cindy would be glad to help out."

"Cindy's a miracle-worker," Heather agreed. She'd been a little light on some of her explanations--mostly Andy and Saishu, but she'd also left out the whole "getting a hole blasted through her stomach" thing--but had mostly supplied the proper details.

"I wouldn't be doing half as well if not for my friends though."

Her father looked over at Jess and Harry. "Thank-you, both of you."

Harry's taken aback at that. "Oh! No no, don't need any thanks. We, well I mean I can only say for myself but...I didn't do anything to thank me for. Heather's great and well...you help friends and all so..." He trails off, floundering a little, a little embarrassed.

"Heather is our friend. We ain't going to let her deal with these problems alone. I know how scary it is um. Telling your family about this. I was going to school to join the police force." She dryly smiles.

"My Dad is a cop too. I always knew I might end up doing one of these..." She waves her hand. Yeah. Cops look out for each other.

"I'm glad this is for a good reason."

The rest of the conversation goes rather well, with Heather promising not to hide things any more. It's a promise she won't entirely be able to keep, she knows that, but the words are good.

As crazy as their lives have been and are likely to get... there's some things people aren't meant to know.
