I'm Learning Things I Didn't Want To Know.
They'd managed to wake Emily to get the elephants taken care of. They'd managed to get everyone back to Alpha Flight headquarters. They'd managed to call David and Misha's parents on the way. They'd managed...a lot of things, really.

The first thing Mel had done upon arriving home was dash to a washroom to be sick for a moment, then to clean off her face and hands. From this, figuring no one could need her for any more right now, she snuck into her own room, into her own walls, and put on some music.

No one will be prevented from entering the 'empty' purple room, certainly. But she wasn't going to bother anyone anytime soon.

	Alex wasn't tired or shaken up by the events. If anything he was a little restless from the whole experience. He was a black cat at the moment and he went wandering the halls. When he heard music coming from Mel's room he knew she was in there. /Mel?/ he sent to her seeing how he couldn't knock on the door in his current form. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The door opened first, as the voice of a very European gentleman quietly and melodically explained that he wished he had it in him not to care. Then Mel managed to unmelt from the walls. "Alex? Is everybody okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	/Everyone's fine,/ Alex replied. /Just checking on everyone. How are you holding up?/ He sat down in the doorway having not been invited in yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Come on in. I didn't get hurt or anything. ...That girl was dead. That's...really obvious, I know. I've never seen a dead person before. I wasn't even allowed in those parts of Dad's hospital. But we saw her, before, when we were checking it out, and then she was dead and I know it's really stupid because it's going to keep happening because we're in Alpha Flight..." Mel catches her foot wanting to go back into the floor.

/I'm glad you're not hurt or anything,/ he said as he entered the room. /The first body is always hard and always hard to forget./ He remembered the first dead body he saw. It was his mother and his brother when they were killed in the accident. They were covered in blood from injuries and it had gotten on him when he tried to save them. /Is there anything I can do to help?/

	The implications of the statement sink in, and she listens and nods solemnly. "I'll...I'll be okay. Thanks, Alex, I appreciate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am," she admits. "But there's not much to do about it but give it a little time, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-09-25 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	/I am always here if you want to talk about it. I hear it can help./ Mel had to be able to get past this because in their line of work there was bound to be more dead bodies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. And it's a good point, and I'll remember. I...just don't know what telse to say, right now. But thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex nodded. /I understand. I am here if you change your mind./ (Reply to this)(Parent)
