Ladies and gentlemen, for your entertainment...the sibling lunch hour!
May loved that ESU had a full selection of summer courses that she could take to knock a couple of gen-eds out of the way. What she loved even more was that she could live on campus (and not have to worry about her nosy roommate), and not have to get up at the crack of dawn to take the subway from Queens to barely get to class on time.

However...she didn't get to spend as much time with Ben as she would like. And after what happened to Sidonie, well, let's just say that she was worried about her little brother even more than she normally was. It wasn't everyday that you saw one of your best friends murdered in front of your eyes.

He needed to get out. And May knew just what to do.

She texted Ben.

Hey twerp, lunch at Big Nick's? My treat.

Now, Ben whirls on his sister, unable to stop the torrent of words that come rushing out.

"Can you bring Sidonie back? No. You can't. I keep seeing that day over and over in my head, May. If I'd been faster, or smarter, or just.../better/, I could have saved her. Guardian tried and he couldn't.

I'm alive through stupid, dumb luck, and the people who killed Sidonie are still out there!" Ben yells .

"I can't fix what they did to her, but I can make sure they never do it to anyone else! But I'm not letting you get hurt or killed because of me. Mom and Dad would never forgive me if you did." Ben says, turning to go.

"Just let it go, May. Like you said, you can't save everyone." Ben says sadly.

His idea is going to work. It has to. He just hopes he can pull it off before May tells Mom and Dad.

	"Ben if you just told me what was going on, I could help you. I can't bring Sidonie back, yes, but I can hunt down who the people who killed them and bring them in. You don't have to beat yourself up forever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"May, you help people in your way. I've got to find my own way to do it, since I'm not like you. And I'm gonna make it so that they don't walk from it." Ben says. "Please, May. You have to let me do this my way." Ben pleads. "I swear, I'll call you if I'm in any trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	May hesitated. He was her younger brother and she was supposed to look out for him. Mom and Dad wouldn't forgive her if something happened to him. "Fine," she said eventually, "But you better call me the second you get in over your head." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, May. I knew you'd have my back." Ben says. He walks over and hugs his big sister. "I won't let you down, May. I promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She returned the hug. "You've never let me down before, little brother. I'd hate for you to start now." And that smirk is back. (Reply to this)(Parent)
