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.

	Jordan got back to the base, made sure no one was too badly hurt, made a quick circuit of the place, then headed to the airport to head for Dept. H HQ. He turned down a ride from Alex, and insisted he'd be back when he could be, but it had to be dealt with in person. Eventually, everyone will find a small package left in their rooms after he's been gone a while. (Reply to this)

	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)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-09-25 07:22 am UTC (link)
	/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)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-09-25 08:32 am UTC (link)
	/Are you sure? You seem like you're a little shaken up./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2009-09-25 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	purplegeist 2009-09-25 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-09-25 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Alex nodded. /I understand. I am here if you change your mind./ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	She'd been out of the water long enough anyway, but Marrina would have probably gone to the pool anyway. It was clear and cool and gave her plenty of time to think. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-09-30 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Alex should have been tired after all of the flying, but he was restless instead. He wandered around in beagle form and eventually found Marrina in the pool. /Hey./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-01 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Marinna bobbed to the surface. "Hey Alex. How you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 03:55 am UTC (link)
	/I'm good. How are you holding up?/ Alex wanted to check on his teammates after that "mission". (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 04:26 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged. "I'm all right. Little embarrassed, more than anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 05:01 am UTC (link)
	/Why are you embarrassed?/ He laid down next to the edge of the pool. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 05:05 am UTC (link)
	"Only think I managed to do was knock-out Emily," Marrina replied. "Not exactly the stuff of great heroism." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 05:08 am UTC (link)
	/That's nothing to be embarrassed about. You saved the rest of us from getting hurt when she went out of control./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 05:16 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe," she said. "But I'm just wondering what I'm doing here. Compared to everybody else, I have got to have the, like, least useful set of powers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 05:46 am UTC (link)
	/Nonsense,/ he said. /All powers are useful. Sometimes it just depends on the situation and setting. I wasn't much use outside of playing taxi./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina shrugged. "I guess so." "And we got the guys out. Guess that's what's important." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	/It does,/ Alex assured her. /I'll be saying I told you so one day when you end up saving the team entirely on your own./ Alex nodded. /Yes. For our first mission, even though it was unofficial, we got the job done./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	"We need some kind of water-based mission," she mused. "So I can show you guys what I can really do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	/It shouldn't be long. Do you know how many lakes and rivers are in this country?/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes," she replied, then rattled off a number. "Okay, how geeky is it that I know that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-10-04 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	/Not geeky at all. It's pretty impressive actually. I was joking and I can't even tell you if you're right./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-10-04 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I am, anyway," she replied. "Been a while since I thought about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)
