I'm warning you, even if I drive fast my pants are kinda hard to get into.

I mean literally. I have to wiggle into them every morning. It takes more effort than it probably should.

Kell sucks in a breath, and it's only long practice not laughing at Rhy's antics in Court that prevents him grinning now. It is her. Same sharp mouth, same hard eyes, but different now - just as hungry but strong, wiry, more falcon than starved little bird.

Has he brought her here? If longing could make it so, he'd have seen her long before now, still in Arnes. "Have I ever successfully made you do anything?" Kell counters.

Like you suspecting I was a traitor?

Up until a couple of hours ago I was mourning his death, and trying to make myself despise you. I'm not quite as good at forgetting as you are. Or maybe that's down to how I feel about you.

Everyone was sure, Sirius. And I was alone, I thought thanks to you. It was so easy for you to think I would side with the Death Eaters, being what I am, but you seem shocked that I would think that you might be sympathetic to their cause, knowing both your cousin and your younger brother were among Voldemort's ranks? Which, for the record, I never entirely believed until you were accused and committed to Azkaban for Peter's death.

[Lila's answering smile is sharp. Of course this girl would understand.]

Yes. And to feed rumors, to create a phantom. Like yours?

[She nods minutely in return, indicating the girl's wicked black face paint.]

I kinda noticed that. Almost painted on.

Hot.

[ It's not what she's expecting, in part because she's never really thought of herself as brave at all. Maybe everything that's happened recently should have changed that, but whatever she's managed to do, it doesn't balance all the things she hasn't done. Still, it's a start, and hearing that means more than she can say.

She leans over a little, enough that she can return Jack's hug without pulling away. God, it's been a long time since anyone hugged her. ]

Don't worry. I'm definitely not going back there, no matter what. The bad guy can't get to me anymore. And it sounds like — Old Nick? — can't get to you or your Ma again, either.

Did you take a bath in iron or something? Because...it's really hard to even look at you.

Re: Torchwood

[beaburningstar]

One of my many skills.

[irondruid]

Ah, something like that. I've got some iron protection on me, you never know when you're gonna need it.

You're fae, I take it?

[cxavier]

Raven. I don't know if I'm relived or worried at seeing you here. Are you okay? Are you safe here?

Re: The Old Kingdom

[nevernougat]

Bells? That's certainly interesting.

Oh. I'm Susan.

[fn87]

Rey! What happened? Did you make it out? Did you stop him?

Re: Torchwood

[cpt_harkness]

And what else do you count among your many skills?

I think about the time when I wanted a second scoop of ice cream and Grandma said no, but then Leo told her that 'just the once wouldn't hurt.' I hope just twice won't hurt, either. I'll make sure to brush my teeth for longer when I'm done.

I like that, I think that's like what good friends do. You can share some of my scoops, too. If I pick different flavors, that means you can try four different things. Even more if you count the cone. I like the ones dipped in chocolate.

I get some more thoughts once we're close to the ice cream shop's door.

I hope the police here are okay. I don't think they make people take pills. But we can look out together, okay? Two people looking means we'll be two times as safe.

[earlyamericanactivities]

Oh honestly, Nicky. Did it ever strike you that there might be bigger things at stake?

[futurestartsslow]

Mmhmm.

You have any idea what's going on? Why do I suddenly have a twin?

[geniusmccoy]

I knew it was possible, but to have theory turn into reality.. was I still.. I am still by your side, I assume? What happened to the school?

[37hours]

Real magic. I know that it exists. Ma says that real magic is what made me come to her, and Kate says real magic is what brings us all to Darrow. But I don't think it's easy to see real magic. Magic tricks you can see all the time, but all the real magic I know is stuff you can't touch.

I get pretty surprised when Shadow Moon does the coin trick... with no trick. It's the first time I see real magic in front of my eyes!

How did you do that?

My mouth's open, I don't think that's manners, but I can't help it. I carefully pick up the coin. It feels heavy and real.

It wasn't there, and then you made it real! Can you do that with other things?

[futurestartsslow]

Shaw.

This isn't some long lost twin thing, is it?

[to_survive]

She always has.

What changed your mind?

Re: Torchwood

[beaburningstar]

I drive fast, shoot straight, and I've been told I have an oral fixation.

Got any talents hidden under your big coat?

Re: Torchwood

[cpt_harkness]

I drive fast, I shoot straight, and I love a good friend with an oral fixation.

And, you know, I save the world a lot.

[37hours]

The hug's not exactly like hugs I have with Ma. Ma and Michelle don't smell the same, and I think maybe Michelle is a little taller, but the feeling is close. I don't know how to explain it, but the hug feels happy sad, a little bit of both mixed together. So I try my best to open my arms even more and hug her even tighter.

Sad is not always a bad thing, Grandma told me, but I hope Michelle feels more happy than sad.

Good. If we see Howard, we'll call the police and the police will put him in jail. That's what they did to Old Nick. Ma told me... there are really bad guys out there, like Old Nick and Howard, but most people aren't that bad. If we stick together, the really bad guys won't get to us.

I lean back a little so I can see Michelle's face.

And we're friends, so we have to stick together.

Kell looks different, too. Hardened. Perhaps even more serious than he'd already been. She remembers the way he looked when he bound himself to his brother, and that's surely part of it. Athos and Astrid and Holland and the weight of everything they'd done.

"Point," she says with a smirk, and sheaths her knife. She can't even be angry about being taken from her bounty. Not yet, anyway. "How, then? I was at sea. One moment I was standing on deck, the next, I'm here before you."
