((forenote, by posting here you do not commit yourself to this Storyline, it is a SL yes but you can still post here without joining the storyline, nor haveing any intention to join, basic info Here))

For a long way back, away from the scene the road was blocked, traffic was jammed into a dule carrgheway, no way of escapeing. Some cars left unattended for they had no place to go, their occupants, either trying to help, or just continueing on with their journy by foot, or taxi, or whatever.. we dont know.. we dont care. The siren of an ambulance grows louder with each passing moment, but they cant hear that.. they can only feel, hear, see... her. Her eyes were black, jet black, thin white rings ringged the edges of the irisis.. Her hair was limp beneth her as she lay, arms wrapped foetally around her body, protecting herself from the strike which had just come.. which had just happened... Which had left her there, alone on a cold rock-hard surface. The sirens screamed toward them, rushing to try and bring her to the hospital, but getting caught on traffic spikes away from this crossroads.

She didnt move, feeling them around her, close by, she didnt want to move knowing it would only bring more pain. She weapt silent tears which fell down scratched cheaks as she sat there wishing for someone.. or something.. to help her.. or end it. Everywhere in her body was in pain.. and everyone around her was starting to feel her pain, her emotions were slowly filtering out of her mind, emptting themselves unbidden into the minds of those close by, a few of the weaker people collapsed from the pain she was emitting.. but most stood stong. They didnt know what was going on with her but guessed she was one of these meta's from AHS.. and she needed help. A few got closer to her, one bringing a blanket from their car, one of the few people who had not kept walking on. He gently placed the blanket around her body noticing her shivering stop, he didnt want to move her, but closeing his eyes and letting tears fall down his cheaks he sat down next to her and softly took her hand into his..

she opened her eyes, and wandered down a dark-white hallway, unable to track her progress with her sences she walked blindly holding hands out infrount to see where she was, and where she was going.. vagely though it looked familiar.

"help"

She creied it out, but no sound was heard, even in the dark hallway, she was a passenger.. traveling through this body like a normal person would commute on a train. All she could do was watch.. and learn..

"Hello Miss King"

The voice was close by, through a doorway, she knew it.. memorys flooded into her mind as she hward that voice.. how she hated that voice..

"Hello Dr Foster"

The second voice.. it was hers.. she remembered vagely where she was now.. being there in herself again.. through her eyes she saw whatshe had before.. but not with childhood innocence.

"Come in Miss King, we need to talk to you about something"

Denials body.. younger than it was now.. but still obviously denial.. stepped forward into his office, across the office her eyes brightened sslightly.. they were there.. her parents.. she knew them now..

"daughter, you are leaving for a short time with The dr, he needs to do a few tests on you"

Her mothers voice was slightly sad, but that didnt hide the coldness behind it, her eyes were pained, though noone would see it in her. Noone could ever look into her eyes.

"mum nooo"

Her voice cried out.. she didnt want to go.. she knew what he would say.. he always tested the others.. hshe didnt want to be like them.. she wanted to live normally.. in a family with her parents..

"Daughter, you musst go, we will see you again sometime"

That was her farther, dark hair hid darker eyes, she could hear a slight crack in his voice. he didnt want to lose his little girl.. though he wouldnt admit it to anyone he loved her more than anything.. He is the one who arranged for her to get free... Her mind suddenly blacked out after this, falling into a deeper slumber and she chased after the light which was suddenly ripped away from her.. her memorys..

Watching the scene around him, Nicolas didn't understand why there was such a traffic jam. Cars seemed to be empty and others were walking about, looking for taxis or knocking others out of the way. He happened to be one of those people knocked to the side as a speeding man shoved him almost head first into a wall. If he didn't catch his balance in time then he might have had another visit to the hospital. At least there was an ambulance waiting around for such a thing. 'Wait an ambulance?'

Nicolas finally recognized the sound of the ambulance's sirens and felt compelled to go. His black and white sneakers hit the pavement as he walked cautiously over to the ambulance, the forward motion stopping for a moment as his black jeans got caught on something. Unhooking himself from the nail that was sticking out of a wall, Nicolas kept going, trying his best not to bump into anyone.

At a certain distance, Nicolas started to feel weak, as if his body was in an intense amount of pain. He was unsure as to why he suddenly felt this way, but now his curiousity was getting the better of him. On his final approach, he looked down to his white t-shirt only to find smudges of filth from when he was knocked against the wall. Sighing, his eyes came back up and fell upon someone he knew very well.

"Denial!"

His eyes widened as he took off in a mad dash, pushing people aside before he skidded to a halt and fell to the ground next to her. He paid no attention to man who was with her until questions filled his head.

"What happened here?"

A few people moved back to let Nicholas through as he approached, hearing him cry a name.. and guessing it was the girls. Some turned to watch his dash through the last few cars toward her. The man beside her looked up he had heard and felt Nicholas come close and skid to a hault beside the girl.

"so this is young Denial.. I thought as much.."

His voice was quiet as he spoke, but you could hear power behind it softly drifting through his words. He looked toward nicholas offering him her hand with a weak smile, he still had tears running down his cheaks but slowly they were beginning to stop as he sat there looking toward Nicholas..

"she was hit by a car, the ambulance is neer, as you should be able to hear"

He was very blunt and to the point, and closeby people pulling a strecher out of an ambulance and starting to get people out of their way could be heard. He looked up toward Nicholas and blue-grey eyes were clouded with emotions, he wanted to tell him that Denial was going to be ok, but he wasnt sure.. only she could do that.

"im Mr Jones, a freind of Miss Denials Gardian"

(he has a strange profile in NPC's now)

"Denial!"

She heard him call her name as she floated in the darkness, and wanted nothing more than to be able to call back to him, a smile appeared on her lips and she felkt a tingling on her skin as she looked into memorys of him.. them together... slowly she fell after memorys pulling herself down into the mists of her mind, trying to find more of that first memory.. sometimes she touched pain and felt how badly she was hurt..


Every so often a tear escaped one eye.. falling toward the ground..

((Mind if I throw in? If not the SL then just this particular thread is what I had in mind. If not I'll work myself back out of it.))

The windows of the black 5.0 mustang were rolled down. Iron Maiden was blaring from within the car's confines. It was just one such band among many that Seth had discovered since his arrival here on this world. The former pilot probably sounded rediculous as he screamed along in a very poor manner with the high-pitched lyrics of the song.

"Ruuunn to the hillssssss! Ruuuuun for your liiiiiiives!"

Despite his outwardly appearance of good nature and careless singing, however, he was slowly beginning to grow impatient. They'd all been sitting there for awhile now. Seth revved the engine a few times, as if such a useless gesture would actually compel the people ahead of him to put their cars into gear. Two cars down from him someone in a large truck finally grew impatient enough to drive up over the center-divider that divided them from the side of opposing traffic. The side of opposing traffic where not much traffic was proving opposition compared to the amount on Seth's side of the street. It irked him to see the other side of the street empty while this side was at a complete standstill. "Gah! Must be nice." he muttered as that truck squealed its tires and sped off in the direction they'd all originally come from. He glared back towards the unmoving traffic and finally lost his temper, slamming his fist repeatedly into the horn on his steering wheel and leaving imprints within the leather as his horn joined in with the chorus of the others around him. "For fuck's sake just drive, assholes!" he shouted angrily.

An ambulance shot past, presumably to the origin of this traffic hell. Seth sighed. At least there seemed to be a good reason for why they were all stuck here. But he probably still had someone's random act of idiocy to thank. He wondered if it was the injured victim, or someone else. Likely someone else, he decided. The dumbasses that caused these accidents never seemed to get harmed. Just the people around them. He swore under his breath shut his engine off. No reason to waste his gas as long as he was stuck here. He pocketed his keys and got out. He probably ought to just stay put, there was probably a big enough crowd of idiot onlookers as it was. But maybe he could find someone who wasn't actively involved in fixing this mess who might know what had happened. Or how long all of this would take. At the very least seeing it himself might give him enough of an idea of how long he would be stuck. He made his way down the lanes and in between all of the cars until he got to the site. He immediately recognized the injured girl as someone from the school. He didn't personally know her, not even her name. Or anything else for that matter. He only knew he'd passed by her once on the school grounds. "What happened?" the question wasn't directed to anyone in particular, just anyone in general who was within earshot and willing to answer.

Listening to the man refer to Denial as if he knew her, Nicolas grew suspicious. Granted there was a lot about Denial that he didn't know about, he still felt protective of her just as she was protective of him. Tears, both his own and Denial's flowed down Nico's cheeks before he wiped them away and took his girlfriend's hand. 'Hit by a car...I bet the asshole that hit her isn't even here...'

He was somehow able to block out everything except for Denial and the man who now says his name is Mr. Jones. It was hard to believe him, but he really had no choice, either that or he didn't care. His hand brushed aside a strand of hair that had fallen in her face, an absent-minded action as he stared at her.

"It can't end like this...where are the goddamn medics!?!?!"

((its cool ^.^))

"it wont end like this"

Me Jones knew it wasnt here place to die here.. he looked up as a pair of ambulance people made their way to the frount of the group as Nicholas called out for a medic.. he noted that down as well.. army.. her soldier.. he was important..

"sirs, we needa check the lil lady out before we try to move her"

Mr Jones looked up as Seth came close, looking at him slightly and picking him out of the crowd he spoke. Studying Seth he looked up moveing away from her body slightly to let the paramedics get in to help her.

"miss Denial got hit by that car about 10 minuts ago, your from the school?"

The paramedics were already checking over Denial, she had quiet a few broken bones in her body, like you would expect from someone just hit by a car but she had gotten off in better shape than other people they had seen.. she would be in hospital for a while though..

"Sirs, would you like to esscort the lil lady to the hospital?"

this was aimed toward Nicholas and Mr Jones, Mr jones immediatly nodded and replyed in the affermative, he had also started to counter-effect Denials powers with his own softly probeing into her mind and helping her by setting blocks up against it..

"It can't end like this...where are the goddamn medics!?!?!"

Denial smiled again, so like nicholas.. her soldier.. she longed to reach up and stroke his face and tell him she would be alright.. she felt his fingers against the side of her face as he brushed her hair away and she smiled..

I love you my soldier

It rippled around her mind as she dove into another memory..

"Miss King, we are going to conduct a few tests on you, nothing serious just something to check how you are"

shebwas on a cold table looking up at a ball above her, it moved down her body then staarted scanning her make up.. giving the doctor an instant read out at whitch he tutted.

"ahh Miss King, im sorry but you did not pass the test, your parents will be oh so very upset. Guards take her to aa cell"


She got picked up by a pair of guareds and with alot of struggling got carried to a cell.. and her memory faded..

His eyes flew over to Mr. Jones again, at hearing what he said, the realization that he was being a tad bit overdramatic started to set in. He calmed himself, but still stood on the edge of patience as he worried about Denial. The voice of the paramedic was almost drowned out by his thoughts, so it took Nicolas a little while before he moved out of the way. The lapse in judgment made him mentally slap himself for taking away crucial time that could be used to make sure Denial was alright. Standing aside he watched as she was looked over and not once did he blink while her wounds were assessed.

He was listening intently when the question to go with Denial was posed and so he answered immediately. Nodding his head, Nicolas was ready to jump into the ambulance as soon as they got Denial in. He wouldn't leave her side unless he had to, though a small smile came to his sad face. On their unofficial first date, she ended up going with him to the hospital. What a switch around this was and an unwelcomed one at that.

"Yes, I'll come with her."

Mr Jones smiled and moves back letting the paramedics gently move denial onto a strecher and they lifted her up moveing toward the ambulance with her and getting a path carved through the prople for them out of respect for what they were.

"Come along Nico"

He looked back towards the two of them, he still wasnt sure about Seth. Looking toward Seths car he closed his eyes gently lifting it off the road out of the jam it was in and putting it down in a clear area.

"Seth, you are welcome to follow us if you wish to. that should make it easier for you anyway"

Mr Jones then walked toward the ambulance, sliding inside it and along to the top of the strecher above denials head looking down at her. She was older than the last time he had seen her.. much older.. smiling kindly down at her he brushed a few stray stgrands of hair away from her face.

Getting into the ambulance, Nicolas couldn't bare to take his eyes off of Denial. Sitting opposite of Mr. Jones, his thoughts drifted to his knowledge of Denial. It really wasn't extensive, but he couldn't think of where this guy fit in. The power he wielded was exceptional. Not many could lift a car off of the ground and move to another spot without moving a finger.

Mr Jones watched nicholas silently thinking for a while as the Ambulance started to move. He glanced down at Denial a coupple of times then he smiled slightly at Nicholas.

"I guess, you would like to know who I am?"

the question didnt need an answer, he knew already that Nicholas would want to know so without an answer he started talking again.

"Miss Denial may have told you the little she knows about her past, quite a few years ago a very good freind of mine, Denial may have told you about her, well they found eachother and she took care of her. Its because of her, im here. We are.. different.. not just Metas, but more than that. You wouldnt understand me.. Denial has the same potential as wel two but would never use it.. and hers is different as well.."

She shrugged slightly looking down at Deniall, in truth she was pertty much the opposite of them.. She had alot of potential but most of it would go wasted.. it was a shame really.

"Denial comes from a strange family, they run an organisation like the SAEMH but that also is different, they do have one main thing in common, they hate Meta Humans. Which is where Denials irrational hate of them comes from.. She is learning about this as I speak, shen she wakes she is going to need you there.."

He paused waiting for all of this to settle in.

She found another memory.. and realised she had relived it many a time in her dreams, she gazed in, and like always tears came to her eyes. And she was in a cage, there were others, she didnt know exactly where they were but heard things.. heard screams from far away. And she gazed through the bars looking into a face..

"help me"

Her voice was weak, almost gone from lack of food and water, but she hung onto life. She knew he was here.. to help her.. in the middle of the screams noone was ever here. He held out a bar in his hands.. Chocolate. He smiled at her placeing his hand on the lock to her cell openeing it through some mirical without the key. She didnt care.. she didnt remember.. He was helping her out.

"come, we dont have long before their back for you"

He reached in, wrapping a warm coat around her shoulders and picking the thin cold girl off of the floor and holding her close to him... She took a bite of the chocolate and closed her eyes savoring the taste as she felt him start to move, she kept eating with her eyes closed.. partially afraid to look and see what was happening to her.. if he was helping her or not.. Then it faded.. and she fell.. upward.. away from the memory back toward her body.. She felt hard blocks between her and sopmething in place as she bounced off walls in her mind trying to get back to the memory but unable to..

Nicolas' eyes raised up as Mr. Jones started to speak. He was right in thinking that Nicolas wanted to know who he was. It was hard to sit there assuming that he could trust this guy, but so far Mr. Jones had done nothing to harm either he or Denial. All in all, it was starting to seem as if Mr. Jones was an alright fellow. The explanation was valid enough, but anyone with knowledge of Denial's past could possibly make that up. However the part about being metas but not really brought about a confused look on Nico's face. He couldn't quite grasp the idea of something that was meta-human, but at the same time more than that. Leaving that for later, Nicolas put his focus back on what Mr. Jones was saying. The part about her family running an organization that preached hatred of metas made Denial's feelings toward them make more sense. How she could be learning about that while unconscious was confusing to Nicolas, but that was a recurring theme now.

Mr Jones smiled at him looking up as the ambulance started moveing, the doors were closed and there was a paramedic in the back with them, he didnt seem to be paying any attention to them, just checking Denial over. They would be at the hospital shortly.

"that is all I can ask of you, she is.. a.. like.. a daughter to me"

He looked down at Denials fance and smiled at her in a fartherly manner, she would never know alof about him... but he could help nad and look after here for a while. She had a long life ahead of her.. he knew that much.. and more..

"I am unsure of how long she will be asleep for, it could be anything from an hour to a month.. but I think its going to be a shorter time rather than a longer one. at the moment blocks we put in her mind are starting to deteriorate, I could replace them but she needs to understand who she is, and what she is. Her name is Lucy King"

She fell against hard blocks, that quickly turned to jelly and she sank through them, she felt memorys she didnt even know she had, a man.. he looked.. normal.. like noone but everyone, she hugged him and he looked after him.. and he was.. family.. She didnt know how far that went inside her, it could be all the way.. was he a blood relative!? She couldnt be sure. She ran into her first date with Nicolas, small tears would have fallen from her eyes, but she was unable to make that happen. She smiled as she watched their kiss.

"Lucy"

She kne as son as she heard the voice say it it was her name, a smile came to her lips and she turned to look toward where it came from, she couldnt be more than 3 or 4 and she was playing in a playpen.. her farther.. and his.. brother..? no.. something she couldnt remember.. he dissapeared.. and was young.. always young. She stumbled towards him babling words she had learnt throughout the week past and would lose years in the future.. a smile graced her lips, both in her mind and on her body as she got enveloped in the warm ring of his arms.

"daddy!"

And as quickly as it came it went, his warm arms fadeing and leaveing only a cold memory. He sent her away.. sent her to die.. but.. saved her as well.. she didnt understand how and that was what she was after. those warm eyes, stayed with her, a lighter shade of dark than her eyes. She fought for understanding in a sea of memorys.. and walls.

Hearing the way he talked about Denial made Nicolas trust Mr. Jones even more. The blocks he spoke of must have been what prevented her from knowing her past. Why someone would want to do that though, was still a question. What in her past was so dangerous that she couldn't be allowed to remember it until now? Looking between Denial..no Lucy and Mr. Jones was starting to become a full time activity during this ride to the hospital. He wanted to just look at her and make himself believe that she'd be waking up soon, but then he'd want to look at Mr. Jones and get more answers.

"Why the mental blocks...what were you hiding from her?"

"could you imagin what it is like, to have something taught to you from a young age, that something is evil, to be feared and hated, then to one day find out you are that thing. That happened to her, we placed the blocks not only to stop her memorys, but to slow her powers. She has had them ever since she was a baby, though they worked themselfs to consiel them from her, and her family, but slowly they were found to be there. We feared what she would do if she found out, so we blocked off things for her own safty"

He paused for a few moments, somehow now was the right time, she was here, he could feel the love she held for Nicolas, she would now be able to understand what she was without hateing herself and wishing herself dead.. she had grown up since them.

"and now, we feel its time for her to understand, be able to use her gifts, and that is mostly because of you."

He an a fingers down the side of Lucy's face, she would always prefer the name Denial but she truely was Lucy.. He smiled towards Nicolas waiting for his next question. The Ambulance began to slow pulling in towards the nearest hospital, the paramedic looked up between the two men.

"were gonna have to take here into A & E to get her some painkillers and check her over. Youll be able to find her in room 310 in about an Hour, you can wait there, or in the lobby. If you need anything to drink just ask a nurse"

"daddy"

Her voice rippled across her mind as the last few blocks fell down, she felt it now, the core of her being and dived into it, feeling her power she studied it from inside herself and slowly turned it off, she would have to get used to that being there.. she hated it.. still.. even after all she had seen, but now she accepted it. And she found what she needed.. her memory. The dark eyes gazed down at her, his hand ran through her hair as he held her wrapped in his coat, it was snowing. Large flakes settled on her hair, her face.. it was cold, but perfect. She hadnt been outside in years, unable to play with anything. She held his hand as he guided her away from the complex. A monstrosity of black and grey.

"daddy, I dun wanna go"

He looked down at her, tears falling from his eyes, and he placed a necklace around her neck.. one she still had, one she still wore.

"baby, you gotta go. Im sorry.. and your mum.. I dunno about her. Im sorry darling, you have to go."

Tears fell from her eyes, catching snowflakes as they rained down around her she saw a car, he was guideing her there, picking her up into his warm arms he hugged her, she felt his tears hot against her neck and she held him close. Knowing.. just knowing everything.

Nicolas wanted to say something in response to Mr. Jones' statement, but he was right. To live life knowing you were what you were taught to hate would be horrible. He wouldn't want to wish that on Denial and although it seemed extreme, it helped. If in the long run this served to keep Denial sane, then it must have been the right choice all along.

"Denial...Lucy..."

Denial...that name...its had become so natural to say it that he almost forgot her real name was Lucy. This transition due her finding out about her past would be difficult, but he'd be there for her the best he could. The rest of the ride would prove to leave Nicolas speechless from the last thing Mr. Jones told him.

"and now, we feel its time for her to understand, be able to use her gifts, and that is mostly because of you."

What did he mean by that? How could he have such a effect that would make this the time for her to go through this change now?

Everything seemed to move in slow motion as they reached the hospital and Lucy was carted away to continue trying to help her. He somehow managed to block out the paramedic's voice earlier and left to look at Mr. Jones with an blank look on his face.

"This is a lot to take in and I don't even understand it all."

"she loves you"

It was as simple as that, they knew she was going to fall for someone, and he would be like Nicolas.. a meta.. she would be ready then. Or well almost ready, there was more to it than just him, but he was a big part.

"Let's go to her room and wait there. "

His mind was still being thrown for a whirl. While he wasn't sure how to take this all, he was glad to hear how Lucy felt about him. Though he did wish that he could have heard that from her first. It wasn't the time for thinking that way though, even if that was all he had at the moment. Absent-mindedly leading the way to room 310, Nicolas figured the conversation might as well continue.

"very"

it was simple, he had never been tested for his power.. he had always found tings came easily to him he was multi skilled he wouldnt say he was the most perful in the world but he sure damn came close.

"we have never had any analysis's of our powers done so we dont know how powerfull, all we know is were powerfull enough"

He opened the door as they reached the room, he worried about Denial.. Lucy.. she was going to be ok. He knew it.. but he still had to worry about her.

"Tea would be nice."

Nicolas found a chair and sat down. He'd seen powerful psychics before, but he was usually in good favor with them and had nothing to worry about. His paranoia couldn't help but keep him on his toes around this man and so his doubts about Mr. Jones kept coming to mind. Shifting in the chair, Nicolas reached for a cell phone and scrolled to the videogames section. There he picked out a game called Bejeweled and started playing while he waited for the tea. It kept his mind occupied so that he didn't have to go crazy worrying about Denial.

Mr Jones nodded and stood up walking into another room after picking up the kettle to fill it. He grabbed two mugs and set about makeing Tea for both of them, quickly he scanned around for Denial's mind and found it, she was getting her contious thoughts back and seemed to be comeing out of the x-ray room. She would be back here soon.

"milk? Shuga?"

He set up his own cup putting a spoonfull of shuga in the cup and milk in there as well. He looked toward Nicolas waiting for him as he added the teabags.

Looking up from the challenging puzzle game, where the object was to match together three or more jewels of the same color, Nicolas nodded his head before pausing the game. He placed his cell phone back in its case on his belt and moved to give himself some milk and sugar.

"Thanks."

After seeming to dump almost all of the sugar into the cup and pouring in some milk, Nicolas sat back down and started to sip from the cup. For whatever reason he always had a sweet tooth and couldn't help but go overboard on the sugar. Smiling happily while he drank, he continued to eye Mr. Jones.

"OK, so I get that Lucy's parents brainwashed her into hating metahumans and I understand that she got some help from woman, but aside from being that ladies friend, where exactly do you fit into all of this?"

"I was the go between... I used to ages ago know her dad, before he met her mum.. he was normal back then. He was the one who helped us get her out, it was her mum.. he loved her, and would do anything for her.. but he didnt want to have his daughter.. killed.."

He took a breath, remembering things, he closed his eyes and sighed softly and looked towards Nicolas, he reminded him of her farther a little.. they just seemed to have a little bit of the same personality.

"her mum came from a family which was destroyed by a meta when she was a child, she saw it happen but was defenceless to stop it.. since then she had hated them, she didnt know about me or her.. but she was the mastermind behind Lucys haterid.."

"So it was all her mother's fault..."

Nicolas felt bad that her parents had to be the ones to betray her in such a way as to not give her the chance to decided whether or not to hate metas on her own. Instead they forced the hatred into her and it worked well. Luckily, he was able to get through to her, otherwise she might very well hate him too. Though now that he thought about it, she must have hated him at first, but the love that Mr. Jones mentioned had to have been a factor.

"So sad..."

"yep.. its terrible what some peoples parents will do.."

He sipped at his tea looking around, he settled down in a chair neer the window to wait, he could feel her comeing closer but she wasnt quite at the room yet. He smiled softly looking around, he wasnt sure if she was contious yet, they would just have to wait and see, Kinda absently he spoke.

"she's almost here"

Down the hall Denial.. Lucy was being prepared to be rolled out of the lift and onto the landing, she had been put in a clinical robe, the type that you get given in hospitals and was layed out on her side on the bed, her hair was splayed on the cushions around her head and her eyes were partially open, she didnt remember much of the trip to the hospital.. exscept her flashbacks, her mind traveled across them as she lay there.. Her ribs hurt like mad, and it was painfull to breath. That would hopefully go away soon though she had bandages around her chest, but they wernt visible, the patches over the scratches on her arms were though..

He took the time to just look around blankly, there wasn't any need for his full attention, so he just sort of zoned out. It was a good feeling, to retreat into his mind and try to peice everything together without having the need to scream out in disbelief. He didn't want to think Denial was in a accident that could have taken her from him, no it was much better to see her as always being with him. In his head, anything was possible and reality became imaginary. Closing his eyes, he took things a step further and blocked out everything, where he was, what was happening, who he was with, everything.

Mr. Jones' statement of her being there soon wasn't enough to get him out of his dream world. Instead it only made him want to stay there a little while longer. And so he did, until Lucy came in, he wouldn't have to deal with reality and hopefully by then he would be ready to deal.

Mr Jones looked up as the door slowly opend, he smiled at Lucy as she lay on the bed.. he could feel her contious thoughts.. that was a very good sign. He sipposed at his drink as the nurses pushed her bed against a wall in the space it was supposed to be in, then turned to the two guys.

"She is ok.. her ribs are brused, and one may possibly be broken, she got alot of scratches, and her leg has been hurt alot, shes gonna need a pair of cruches for a while once she is out of the hospital."

Mr Jones nodded, while moveing his chair next to her bed, he smiled looking down at her as she lay there.. she seemed so.. delicate.. he looked toward Nicolas and back down to Lucy..

"Nico.."

Her voice was quiet, and she sounded like she was in a bit of pain still, her eyes moved around the room trying to see him, she had half a mind to look up and try and find him, she was sure she had heard his voice after getting hit.. and she needed to talk to him.. needed to tell him..

everything..

Nicolas could hear the door opening, he almost didn't want to, but it was time and so he would have to go through this, not just for himself, but for her too. His eyes snapped open and he followed the motion of the bed as Lucy was brought inside. She had gone through trials when she was younger and it didn't seem right that this had to happen to her too. Moving in sync with Mr. Jones, Nicolas moved to the opposite side of Lucy and reached out to hold her hand.

"I'm here, I'll always be here."

He smiled down at her, trying to stay within her field of vision so that she wouldn't have to expend too much energy to find him. Seeing her this way was painful, but he was sure that she went through the same thing with him. It was getting to be that a visit to the hospital was their idea of a date...

"we spend.. too much time in hospitals"

She grinned slightly at him, her hand held his gently as she lay there. She looked toward him and small tears started to form in her eyes.. she was happy.. just to be able to see him again, to feel his skin.. to be alive.. to hear him speak.. she believed his words.. but there was something she had to tell him.. it couldnt wait..

"I.. love you"

Her voice was quiet as she spoke, and uncomftably held her emotions, along with the pain it had before.. she was just happy to see him there.. so happy, but tired also, she fought against a yawn.. she knew she needed rest.. but she didnt want to fall asleep after the waiting he must have gone through for her.

Mr Jones stayed quiet sipping at his drink smiling behind his cup, it was good to see denial was awake.. though he wasnt sure how long.. she needed alot fo sleep. He didnt disturb the two of them, standing there silently.. he seemed to blend in with his normality to the surroundings of the room.. you could overlook him if you didnt know he was there..

A bigger smile found its way to Nicolas' face as he stared into Lucy's eyes. As the tears formed and fell from her eyes, he wiped them away for her mimicking her feeling of loving to be with him. Hearing her say those three words gave him a feeling that he never thought he'd be able to feel again. Ever since he had been exposed to death for the first time, he wanted to die. Now he could see that there was someone to live for.

"I love you too."

He leaned in and kissed her, it wasn't short, but it wasn't long either. The need to express himself in more words was just too powerful for him to hold back. He did know that she had to rest though, so he'd wait longer to make sure she was ok.

"Rest now...we can talk later."

Lucy smiled wider gazeng into his eyes.. through the pain she felt a warm tingling senceation in the pit of her stomach.. she squeased his hand softly as he moved toward her, and kissed him back.. it seemed to last for too short a period.. but it felt.. perfect..

"ok.. I just have to.."

Her eyes slipped closed and she mumbled her last words before falling asleep. He would hear them from her toughts.. and more than that he would feel them.. among other feelings.

"say thankyou to Mr Jones.."

Mr Jones smiled and gently pushed a few stray strands of hair off her face and smiled down at Lucy.. at this moment she felt like his daughter.. even if it was surrogate.. he had an overwelming urge to protect her.. and her love.. His eyes moved from Lucy to Nicolas.

"im going to have to leave here soon.. im needed somewhere else in three days"

Nicolas laughed to himself as Lucy fell asleep. He knew she was tired and so did she, it was cute watching her push herself even if she would end up falling asleep in the process. After placing her hand down, he sat back in his seat and tried to get comfortable, he'd be here for a while. Looking over to Mr. Jones, he was about to close his eyes and take a nap when Jones started talking.

"No problem, I won't be leaving her."

Lucy smiled in her sleep, relaxing on the bed, her body didnt move at all.. she had found a comftable spot.. where the pain was minimul so all was good.. or as good as it could be after being hit by a car.

Mr Jones smiled and quietly nodded, picking up his coat and pulling a card out from it. On the outside it said

To Lucy King,
To be opened on the 16th March

~ Mr Jones ~

He placed this card on the table next to her bed and walking out of the room, slipping the coat onto his back as he went..

Sighing, Nicolas sat back in his seat and started to scratch his head. He looked over to his cup, realizing that there was still more tea in it. Briefly looking back to Lucy, he got up and grabbed his cup, taking a nice long drink from it. The tea wasn't too hot, though he didn't realize that he had been cooling the tea down with his powers. Once it got to a good temperature, his powers stopped effecting the tea and Nicolas was none the wiser. Sticking a hand into his pockets, Nicolas stared out of the window and drifted off into thought.

Lucy was going to be asleep a while longer, she stired a little as she moved in her sleep, small moans comeing from her as she moved, hitting painfull spots. After about half an hour her eyes fluttered open again, a hand going to her side.. it felt like she had slept for hours to her.. looking around she saw Nicolas, knowing he had stayed true to his word, she smiled turning enough so she could look into his eyes and smiled at him.

"hey"

Having finished his tea during the passing time, Nicolas had moved back to sitting next to Lucy. He awaited the moment when she would wake up, but had take a fifteen minute nap while he waited. Waking before she did, he watched her shuffle around as her eyes opened and smiled at her.

"How are you feeling?"

"like ive been run over"

She grinned and shifted moveing her hand over to his and holding it, she remembered earlier like it had just been ten seconds ago.. Smiling at him she gently held his hand hers feeling warm against his to her for some reason.

"I have things.. I need to tell you... my family..."

She closed her eyes, memorys stiring again and tears seeping out from behind her eyelids. She looked toward him, she no longer hated his.. no their kind.. Her other hand settled across her stomach as she lay there.. she didnt like being in bed.. in hospital.. unable to do anything but she had to be. Her eyes continued to tear as she gazed into his, just so happy she was given another chance to be with him.

"Heh. I'd imagine that much."

He held onto her hand with both of his and looked deeply into her eyes. There was a lot to talk about, but he wanted her to get her rest. What was the point in her overexerting herself after what she had gone through. His left hand moved to wipe some of the tears from her eyes and he fought back the tears that wanted to fall from his eyes. It was almost as if she was in this condition because he couldn't protect her, but common sense won and he knew that it was impossible for him to have known that this would happen.

"We can talk about it later, I don't want you pushing it."

"I feel fine.. as long as I dont move much.."

She gazed deeply into his eyes, she just wanted to leave.. they had spent way to much time in hospitals since they had met.. and now she was makeing them spend more time..Grinning slightly at him her eyes fell to her hand in his.. the few scrapes on it were coverted with bandages but the skin was pinker around it than it should be..

"no hospitals next time we meet, deal?"

Grinning she flexed her fingers in his hand, before looking back into his eyes.. she had no idea where to begin talking to him about everything she... remembered.. during the time she was blacked out.

If she said she was fine then he'd have to believe her, until the point she proved him right or wrong for that matter. He was still worried about her, but that was just natural, so perhaps he would have to get over it. His eyes never left hers as he assumed that doing anything else would only serve to remind him of where they were and her current condition. When she mentioned their hospital meetings, he could only laugh and nod his head.

"Alright, no hospitals next time. So I'll just cancel the reservations and make some for a restaurant."

"you do that"

She laughed softly snuggling up in her blankets on the bed, the pain was nulled for the moment so she could lie there without her body hurting much. Closeing her eyes for a second she searched for something to tell him from her memorys.. something which wouldnt make her cry..

"I come from Russia.. im not sure if its my familys original home.. but I know that is where they set up... shop.. im not sure what they did.. but I know it was to do with people dieing.."

She had no emotions about the last bit.. she had a few idas.. and knew she had to get ahold of someone at their school.. C.U.E.. (Coorperation For Unhuman Engineering).. the letters made someones name.. she knew it..

"and.. I need to find.. Cue"

((Woo! finally worked out something for Cue to stand for.. >.> <.<))
