All Things Being the Same (open)
Irina sat on the barstool in a bar down the street from Champions' headquarters. She didn't feel like going back there just yet, but this place was close enough to make her feel like she was home. Since the incident with rescuing the kids and with her father, Irina hadn't been back to the Champions' headquarters. She didn't want to see the stares or the look of accusation in their eyes.

She didn't blame them. The man who had experimented on children and had done many other horrible things was her father and she hadn't told them. Granted she didn't know about the horrible things he did until Nicholas worked his mojo on Alexi, but it didn't matter. He was a horrible man, a monster, and she had stuck up for him. She protected him from them and didn't hand him over to the authorities like she should have.

Irina gulped down a shot of vodka and refilled the glass.

Maybe it was time to move on. It's not like the Champions were going to forgive her any time soon and quite frankly she didn't blame them. She had in a way betrayed them and she deserved everything she got in return. Leaving Russia and home hadn't felt this bad.

Irina sighed heavily and drank down another shot.

It was time to call the Winter Guard and get reassigned.

And Eliza has been listening in quietly. The red haired member of the team shakes her head.

"I can't say that I'm happy. But sometimes we don't have the full picture. And we can't know everything about our parents. They hide the worst of themselves from us because they want our love and respect. And I'm sorry your Father is not the kind of person who deserves that from you anymore."

	Corey has, of course, little power to restrain Argo, but he pauses anyway, reading the concern even in his drunken state. "Mine thanks, Corey," he replied, slurring his words as he took the glass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey smiles up at him. "You're welcome." Then he looks at Harmony. Soon, Harmony is being offered a glass of water, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina nodded. She understood what they were saying and was glad they weren't kicking her off the team. As dysfunctional as they were, they were still like a family to her. "Thank you," she said quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm okay, Corey." She wasn't slurring. Yet. "Argo, you should probably lie down. I'll walk you." Standing up, Harmony felt dizzy suddenly but nobly didn't sway. It was weird. She felt like her body was warming in slow motion. "C'mon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The... the Son of Hercules needs no... needs no..." Argo tried to get out, but couldn't finish the sentence. "The Son of Hercules shall escort the lady to her room! Yes!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eliza tries to cover up her amusement. It's pretty hard when Argo is so animate. Still there is a touch of seriousness about why everyone is like this that won't go away for a long time. (Reply to this)(Parent)
