Squad 3-The Future
Martin laid flat the last of the squad surrounding him, only to find yet another squad ready to jump him from every angle. "Well," he drew in a few short breaths and righted himself again. "Come on then, I could do this all-"
Squad 3-The Present
In the second between breaths the young man found himself back at the academy, watching his various classmates go through their trauma's and finding that he didn't really have anything that he could do to make them feel better. For him at least it had just been a flash to the underworld where he had managed to lay a smackdown on a ton of demons, probably setting back any attack plans for a bit and doing his part. But it had been worse for the others and he didn't really know how to be there for them right now.
"I think, I'm going to go get some rest guys." he ran a hand through his hair and considered what could make them feel better. The only thing he could think of was working to prevent the future they had seen. So for that he would just have to do what he always planned to do.
Beat the crud out of the bad guys.
"Better jump up my training then."
Squad 4-The Present
The ever familiar tingle of particles flowing beyond the speed of light had overtaken Clay as they zapped themselves back to the past, present, future. It was pretty much all three of those things to him. "You know, I'm starting to think time travel might be a mite confusing." he adjusted his hat and looked around to his squad, all of whom seemed to be a bit more on the glum side. A lot like he had been after he had landed here. "Ya'll feel like going out and getting some milkshakes? I could really use one right about now."
Maybe it wouldn't fix anything, but hell there had to be at least one good thing that happened today, and his sweet tooth was dying after having spent so much time under the hot desert sun.
Be better, because what is the harm in trying?

Squad 2
Ryuu looked lost at everything they saw started shifting, he felt a touch, before he could turn, he was back on the school, back on their year.
While there was a lot to think about, and he was due a panic attack at some point, there was something stuck to his leg. Picking it up, he saw it was a note.
To father:
By the time this note gets to your hands, it might be too late, but there were many things that I wanted to say. Speaking is not my biggest strength, and you and I were never really alike, but no matter what, I respected you. You brought me in after I lost my family, you gave me a name, a family, a purpose. And for that, I will always remember you. Those years kept me going, no matter how bad things got.
So, please, defeat Gaea, don't let them burn down the world. Create something better, a future where people can live and not just survive. Never lose hope, and never lose those bonds you valued so much.
Genbu
Ryuu didn't notice when he started crying, but the tears won't stop. He walked out, not aware of the world, but he needed to find something. A place where he could let things out.
God knows he needed that.
Wake me up at your own risk.

Squad 1
After a while, Yoko's crying quietened, but she still held on for a few moments longer if only for Zach's benefit. She'd had children before, and she'd had to say goodbye to them in many ways; and it still hurt. She couldn't even begin to imagine what it was like for him.
“It's okay, sweetheart... it's okay...” she soothed—idly noting that was the first time she'd used a pet name on him. It only felt right now. “They're strong... and we'll see them again, I promise you.”
She pulled away a fraction just to move his hand over her stomach, smiling forlornly as she stared down at it.
“I... I would've told you then, but... there was already so much going on, and... I'm sorry...”
Squad 4
“I think... I think we need something like that right now...” Evelyn admitted, carefully hauling herself up back onto her own two feet (and managing not to stagger too much this time around). “Not my best first day, really... but...” she trailed off, flashing a small smile at Clay.
“...you're spoilt; you're getting two dates.”

Zach - Squad 1
In all the chaos, in all the anarchy, between everything that happened at the tree, the ship, the final goodbyes, he completely forgotten about the whole situation Mikoto had asked him to ensure when a moment of peace had come...and evidently, that moment had come. His mind running a thousand miles a second, unaware of what to think, fathom...but as always, in his moments of need, Yoko's voice back him back to attention.
He blinked the black tears from his eyes and looked down at her as she placed his hands on her stomach and silently confirmed it.
Her apology mean nothing to him, because to him there was no reason to apologize. He looked down at her stomach, then up at her, and the smile grew, as did his happiness.
He was mouthing something, as if he forgot how his ink actually worked, but after a moment of reading she could see he was mouth, with the excited light in his eyes beaming all the while, it started off as a question, and then a statement, and then elation.
"I'm...gonna be a dad?"
"I'm gonna be a dad."
"I'm gonna be a DAD!"
He lifted her off the ground and spun her in a circle, ending it with an excited kiss as he dropped her back on the ground, lasting for a moment of silent, unending glee, excitement and overwhelming love he felt for her in that exact moment.
I love you. He wrote as he pulled away, nervous excitement in his eyes but it was definitely a good thing. I love you so much, Yoko...god, we're gonna be Parents!
He had a feeling this wouldn't be her first foray into the world of parenting, but it was his and hers, so he was over the moon with sheer, unadulterated glee.
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?

'"I...can't be weak. I don't want that future." She looked at her free hand. The sleek white metal shining under the lights.
"I've never realized how truly grateful I am to be alive since that day. I could have been dead and never get to truly experience my life. But, I was saved, brought back from the brink of death. The thing that has meant the most since then is meeting everyone." She fell to her knees. Images flashed in her mind of her mother, her friends and her future daughter.
"I love them, I love them so much. I don't want to lose any of them. They don't deserve that future. I...have to be strong for them. I can't continue being this way, hiding and crumpling at the sign of danger." She slowly got up.
"I ran out on my friends when they needed comfort. I have to go back." Steadying herself, she went back to the library, her mind still racing and tears still flowing. Her face was red and a mess.
"This is the third time I have ever been at my lowest. The first time was when my mom died and the second was when I thought I was going to die of dehydration and overheating inside that beast's gut. What do I do about this? I don't want to die. I don't want my family and friends to suffer. I'm such a reckless dumbass! I couldn't do anything to stop that future! I just did the same bullshit of acting first and disregard all logic because I am so stupid!" As he cried, he was interupted by the ring of his. He saw the caller ID. It was Celia. As much as he wanted to talk to her as he always answered, he knew he wasn't in the right frame of mind to answer. He let the call be missed. He muted the ringtone.
"I'm sorry, Celia..." He decided the best thing to do was to sleep. After a few minutes of his body refusing, he fell asleep, temporarily leaving his concious trouble for now.

Mr. Fuuji, don't cry, please! , Dante tried to as he put a hand on a pouch. C'mon, dad! We need to calm them dow— , he pulled out the spider plush, but the spider plush was...lifeless. There was also a note next to it. "To Dante. Gahahahahah, when you Iridium Idiots were freaking out over the vessels, I took an opportunity to take the blasted Raffaello's soul. I won't really eat it, heheh. I need to accomplish something with it. And I also need his body for that, heheheh. Geheheheh. I wonder if your worthless asses will come to kick mine. Heheheheheheh. P.S: Did that tree bitch think she could eat me? Well, I would only make eat only one specific body part...my ass. Ahahhahaahahahahahahahaha! By Dementius!" , Dante read. He then dropped the plush.
The next seconds were followed by a Big "NO!" that was so loud that it could even be heard from the hallway that was next to it.

The kitsune squealed with barely-concealed glee as she was picked up and twirled around, melting into the kiss and subsequently a fit of giggles as Zach practically leapt through the ceiling in joy; her grief momentarily forgotten.
“Mhm...” she murmured as she leant back into him, placing her head over his and kissing the top of it affectionately. “And I'm gonna be a mom...”
The bittersweet ’again’ was left unspoken, but her happiness—while more subdued—was still apparent.
Then she burst into giggles again.
“Well somebody's had a busy year...” she teased, stroking through his hair before relinquishing her grip a little to look down at him again. “Are you sure you're okay with it? What with everything... I'm not going too fast for you, am I?”

No, of course not, never. He shook his head at her worried whispered tones and pulled away from her, the smile just as excited as it was as he reached up and gently rubbed at her ear, in a way he knew she liked. You could never go too fast for me Yoko-not when I'm going to live forever from now on. I'm just-I'm too in love with you to consider it too fast.
He did need to calm down though, but the feeling of excitement remained where it was inside of him, that happy, warm glow that refused to let the sadness in or anywhere near him.
I can't wait. I really can't, to be able to build this wonderful thing with you...but we do have to plan. We need to make sure we're ready and I need to tell mom and pray she doesn't die from info overload at the fact we're gonna have TWINS...we're gonna have TWINS, I'm gonna be a DAD.
It was hard to hide his excitement sometimes.

It took a while for Sam to wake up. Though he was completely lost, as if he didn't recognize his surroundings, but he could realize he wasn't in the forest anymore. But that doesn't leave the images of his head.
He left him. He left his kid behind. He couldn't say goodbye.
The heaviness of his mind, the pain and the feeling of confusion and being away from reality didn't matter anymore.
A tear rolled down his eye, even if he didn't give other show of life.

Ryuu considered go to the training room, but at this point, he wanted to be alone, so he slipped into his room.
WHAM!WHAM!WHAM!
Which is why, he was beating a heavy bag by himself, like he was taking out his anger in an enemy.
The strikes came faster and faster from his bare knuckles, which started to bleed.
Not caring about the pain, he didn't stop.
There was a lot to let go, and won't stop until he couldn't move his arms.

The Iridium Wonders - Back to the Future (From the perspective of our Pasts)
Oh, I fixed the time gate and did not tell me. Sounds about right. This time, prepared, Mahvash kept the others fully fixed on her 'radar'.
So, she had a firm impression of Sally rapidly advancing the other way, Aster barely not collapsing into goo, Ryuu gooing up on his feet, Ever getting comfortable below a nest of books, Martin moving away probably to a flat surface... Well, Dante and Iris haven't burned out. Hm. But this is not time to send them anywhere but bed anyway.
Nonetheless, the first thing the elder woman did when Sally returned was give the girl a handkerchief and light hug. She tried anyway. She'd seen the matronly hug type on TV and felt Shirin's smother hug for ages. This might be right.
Of course she only had a moment before Dante's scream registered. As did the plush being an empty vessel. Yeah, that's a curveball. Finding the spider and stepping on it just got more urgent then. Silently, Mahvash began planning a trace of the Carnival King, network paths to track down their pest, and trying to figure out the fairest nasty that would give all the Wonders a chance to participate. On top of remaking her plans about the ongoing hero issue. Look with century eyes... With our backs to the arch And the wreck of our kind We will stare straight ahead For the rest of our lives
Deranged X-Mas Figure
Febuary 19th, Saint Academy
It had only been two weeks since the start of the month, and yet for Class 1, it may as well have been a lifetime. Due to a twist of fate, the entire class had been sent forty years into the future. And what they found was unsettling to say the least. So much so that Kilgore and the others were able to tell something was off not a day after they got back. Still, they didn't want to risk traumatizing their students more than they already had been. For now they suggested (at the risk of making it come across like a demand,) that they see Laurie. If there was anything they wanted to talk about or that they had trouble dealing with, she was the one to go to. Though whether or not they did was ultimately up to them.
In the meantime, things continued on as they had for the last month or so. While human and metahuman relations had continued to improve, the shadow of Gaea and various anti-metahuman hate groups still loomed over the news like a specter. As though no matter how much ground they managed to regain, they would never be able to go back to how things were. And to make matters worse, Gaea was planning something. They had announced it a week after Class 1's little trip, and most were still wondering what it actually was. So far they were still keeping it under wraps, but whatever it was, it was big. Supposedly they had been planning something else before Class 1's little excursion, but afterward, they had supposedly scrapped it in favor of something different altogether. Of course, it was no doubt nothing more than a coincidence.
Or at least that's what some of the students no doubt told themselves.
Regardless, it was a brand new day, which meant it was about time for class. Today Class 1 was due for another training session in the Training Room. They still weren't sure what it would entail, but with Interceptor in charge, it wasn't going to be easy.
Hopefully they were up for it.

AKA Nixer
Squad 3
Ugggghhhh.
Normally Ash would be pretty happy for a day of training. But like most of those irritating traumatic experiences her mood had been dampened for the entire past fortnight. Being torn away from her own granddaughter just as she was getting to know her was just cruel. And knowing she was out there somewhere in some distant future desperately struggling for survival was tormenting.
But in typical Ash fashion, she pretended she was fine.
And also in typical Ash fashion, it didn't work.
Sighing in defeat, she threw her covers aside and made to get ready. Her supersuit got a bland look before she reluctantly put it on. It was still too tight for her tastes, and all it did was remind her of that Cendrillon bitch. Which in turn reminded her of what nearly happened to Becca.
Which in turn threatened to make her burn the whole premises down.
But that was another matter entirely.
Right now, training room time. As she liked to get there early, she rocketed her way down there in her typically unsubtle fashion; only to abruptly halt and land in fairly casual manner once she arrived—arms crossed in her habitual manner. Something that had only become truly apparent once she had gotten this blasted suit.
She'd get it refitted, but she had no intention of questioning a psychopath about a better wardrobe.
Squad 1
“Zach-kun, wake up...” Yoko gently called, nudging the melanokinetic lightly as she stretched the morning stiffness out of her bones. A ripple across her form and she was fully clothed; swinging her legs out of bed after a few extra moments of laziness and creasing her forehead into a frown.
Then she looked down at herself.
It lasted for about five seconds before she shook it off—gaining a mischievous grin as she glanced back at Zach's form. Bracing herself, she mentally counted down—before springing up into the air and landing rather heavily on his chest.
“WAKE UP!”
Squad 4
Well, the prospect of ‘waking up’ was never really one that appealed to Evelyn. She'd have much rather remained unconscious a lot of the time—and her blindness only made that prospect that much more tangible. Nonetheless, she got up after a fashion—instinctively blinking out the sleep from her sightless eyes as she peeked her Third Eye out from her forehead.
For the first image of the day, seeing in all directions at once under a distorted red filter wasn't at the top of her preferences. But it was all she had; and all she could have for the foreseeable (hah) future. In a slow fashion, she got ready—slipping on a plain white dress and attempting for the nth time to de-muss her hair.
She still hadn't dared to have it cut.
Stepping out from her room, she briefly wondered if it would've been better to wear something maneuverable for a physical training exercise. But then her brain kindly reminded her that she had the muscle mass of a fruitfly, so it probably wouldn't have made much difference if she'd worn a potato sack instead.

Aster (2)
Aster levered awake as though she was a vampire rising from her coffin. She ran a hand through her messy hair and swung an arm out to press the button on the coffee machine right by her bedside.
She got ready, stiffly dressing and combing her hair with almost robotic movements.
Finally, she downed the hot coffee in one go and marched off to class with a noticeable set in her jaw.
Perry (4)
Perry blearily yawned, gently nudging Pancake off of her chest as she got up and got ready for a new day.
She looked in the mirror, and saw her own scared eyes staring back into her soul. The normally piercing green of her eyes was dimmed to a dull swampy color, and her face seemed to be perpetually frozen an expression of muted horror.
She scared her.
Nevertheless, she reluctantly packed herself off to class.

Iridium Wonders – To the Training Room
Dante woke up like a...zombie rising from the grave.
He went to Venice three days ago to celebrate his 19th birthday. Since he didn't want to ruin the light-hearted atmosphere of his birthday party, he told the City Priest that Dementius snatched the Carnival King's soul, and that the wretched spider has the intention of also snatching the King's body. He thought that, with that advice, his father's body would be a bit safer...
Dante felt lonely without the Carnival King...
He dressed up and drank some cappuccino before he quietly went to the class.
Squad 4 – Dorms ====> Training Room
Wow...time really does fly, doesn't it? He feels like a split-second passed between today and the day they got teleported into
Maybe he's just an unnaturally patient guy, but it's no surprise to him. You've got to be patient if the thing you were to do since your birth was rotate on your axis, while rotating around your star, while rotating around the center of your galaxy...something that he would for over 4,5 billion years, following the masses...the will of the universe...
But hey! He is now a living being with these living fuctions and living along these other organics!
Iuvem dressed up. He took seven strawberry shortcake-flavored ice creams with him and, with gravity powers, made them orbit him. He didn't really care about the fact that it was still winter. Ice creams are delicious, and you can't stop him!
When he finally arrived at the training room, he thought if he could tap into whatever Pandora gave him two weeks ago with this hi-tech training room. But first, he should eat the ice creams first.
Iuvem looked at his ice creams and— Oh wait, they are melting!
Oh s#&t! , he cursed as he used his hydro(ish)kinesis to keep these ice creams in their ice cream-y state.
Phew... , he sighed, relieved, as he started to lick the first ice cream.
As he silently enjoyed the ice cream, he noticed the presence of a sulking redhead.
He looked at her. I need to start a conversation....how about— You...You've got a nice suit, m'lady , he cracked a smile at the Sulking Redhead.

A groan filled the room, as a body moved like a zombie trying to move around as slowly as possible.
Looking at a mirror, Sam just stared back at a face that looked so... not him. The headaches mostly stopped, but there was something strange. As if his powers were against him for now. He has to be careful with big things or else, his mind left him. Small black outs or out and out fainting. He might have scared someone, but his mind just doesn't get back to shape.
Jesus, it feels like he simultaneously got younger and older. And the weight of the future just keeps increasing.
How to deal with all of this?
At least, he'll try to do some good before going out.
Squad 2
Ryuu could only move slowly these days. He might have recovered from breaking his hands, but the training later has been intense. He feels like he is pushing himself way too hard.
Several days, he felt sore and like he needed the wind just to move around.
He needs to deal with this, to keep the others safe. And how to deal with all the revelations he's been having.
If only walking was easy now.

Mahvash appeared as she wanted, appearing in Martin's room at 400 hours Pacific Standard Time. (Hey, it was noon GMT, so oversleeping would just be lazy, or that's what she'd tell him).
At least she brought a breakfast, even if at the same time... "Rise and wakey." She dropped the tray on the nightstand. "Best to open your eyes while the moon is high. And we can go on a morning ride, stretch out, and smell the air before the day starts. Maybe feel the morning dew under us."
She'd clearly made herself look ready and had eschewed the normal robe for modern formal wear and a sort of cape. Ok, semi-modern dress uniform
◊ and no shoes. And still a cape. All emphasized when she levitated on the bed, walking down from the foot of the bed to Martin's position and dragging a shiny new sword all the way. "Also, since Heroes Prefer Swords. Try one out?" She slowly gave a small smile. "with a dull blade, like a waster
."

Up on Melancholy hill.
Zach - Squad 1
A few things that Zach learned about himself was that with his new physiology was the fact he didn't need to sleep, but he still enjoyed the act as a result. It was a moment of 'not existence' that he needed every once in a while. Cuddling with his wife helped inspire him for it.
The past few weeks had been a slew of activity to his poor overwhelmed and overworked mindset. The first and foremost of such was the fact he was going to be a dad. And with it, the constant stresses that he was sure every father in the world suffered at one point. How to take care of the kids. How to take care of Yoko. How to make time for everything. And probably the most important...
Was he going to be a good dad?
Regardless of his own delusions regarding it, at some basis of his DNA, he was still his fathers son. Everything that made him him, could also be in him. He lived in fear, of the constant dread that he was going to be as much of a monster as his father was. It was a silent rebellion why he went out of his way to avoid the things his father did. Like drinking.
It was a fear he didn't want to share with Yoko, and it was something he genuinely wanted to discuss with Laurie, but knew it probably wouldn't matter. It lead to many a sleepless night as he pondered and mulled and thought over the consequences of his actions. The reality was coming this year whether he liked it or not and he couldn't put it off any longer. Like it or not, ready or not, he was going to be a dad.
He remembered the night before the morning, finally having worked up the courage to text his mom the news.
- Me: (8:30 PM) Hey mom, so I got some big news and I think the best way is just to tell you but Yoko, my girlfriend/wife/fiance, is expecting, we're gonna have twins and you're going to be a grandma.
- Me: (8:58 PM) ...Mom?
- Me: (9:30 PM) Oh god mom please don't be dead I don't need that
Probably combined with everything was likely the reason he finally got a good nights sleep, sprawled out and exhausted and letting the not-rest his not-human brain needed-
WAKE UP!
A weight slammed into his chest and his eyes bulged for a moment in surprise. Any slumber or exhaustion he felt was gone. After a moment of mind rippling panic (emphasized by him losing his shape and appearing as a black, human shaped form on the bed that quickly gained it's personality back), he looked up at Yoko with that evil grin on her face and he slumped back in the bed, one hand over his face.
Yoko, you scared me babe. He wrote weakly.
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Squad 4-Yeah, Training!-Vivian
Vivian arrived in the training room already raring to go. She'd slept well and gotten up early to take a lap around the school grounds. Like the other kids, she was on the alert for whatever nefarious plans Gaea might be cooking up. It was weird that a group that dislikes people with powers named themselves after a mythical being. Like, if She turned up she'd be pissed.
The energetic girl turned over and started walking on her hands, as she often did. It was a good way to practice balance. I wonder if Clay and Evelyn will show up here today. Separate or together?
There was some kind of open invitation to see the school shrink, but she felt fine. She hadn't met anyone or seen anything too crazy, after all, but she'd heard the other classes hadn't been as fortunate. I hope they do go in for a checkup. Gotta keep the old grey matter working properly, especially when there are whackos out there looking for an excuse to attack us.

Squad 1
Yoko pouted, before slumping on top of him.
“You're no fun~! Maybe you should go see Mahvash to get some tips on how to counter that. Anyway, you sleep okay? You look a little... well, panicked at the moment—but before that you looked kinda... stressed.”
She met his gaze with a concerned expression, lightly brushing his hair with the back of her hand as she inwardly sulked over the loss of her hoshi-no-tama. Still, just because they lacked a literal emotional connection didn't mean there was nothing at all. It just made it that little bit more frustrating for her to figure out what was going on in his head.
Which she supposed for privacy's sake was actually for the better.
“You're worried, aren't you?” she asked in an undertone. “Tell me. It's okay.”
Squad 3
“#$&% off. Also thanks. You look cool too,” Ash retorted(?), glancing at the weird golem thing before letting out a slight sigh. “Don't mind my sorry ass, just been thinkin'...”
She stared out at the others in the training room for a short while, before shaking it off and looking back at him. Outstretching her hand, she nodded in greeting.
“I think I've seen you around, but I don't think we've met proper. Name's Ash. You're the... planet guy, right? Kinda hard to miss.”
Apart from her grasp being inhumanly warm to the touch, it was also remarkably strong.

Zach - Squad 1
Well shoot. It just goes to show that, even with the ability to change literally every physical thing on his person, he was still absolute shit about hiding his own emotions and his own internal worry. Even without a star ball to help kinda bridge that gap.
He took a deep breath and released a defeated sigh. He almost wanted to ask if she wanted the list of things he was worried about. Her safety. THEIR safety. Their future. Everything in his mind came to the forefront, wanting addressing but one came up quicker than any of the others.
They'd shared things before. Her past. His past. Her demons. His demons. Her fears. His fears. He knew this wouldn't be his first foray into the parenting circle. It was a harsh truth he needed to accept that he was going to be the the last one who shared this with her. But that meant she had experience. So, he felt she had the best opportunity to answer this for him.
Do you
He let the words hang in the air for a moment, suddenly feeling very bashful about the rest of the question, one hand reaching up and grabbing her hand as it brushed his hair.
Do you think I'll be a good dad.

King among Xanas
Squad 3/Squad 2 crossover
Martin had always been a light sleeper, so the moment Mahvash asked him t wake up his eyes were open and his entire body threw itself into battle mode, only to calm down upon seeing that it was just her hanging overhead. A quick glance at the clock by his bed showed that it was still to early for even him to be up. By about two hours but the sentiment was still there.
"The new outfit looks really nice on you," he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked up at her as she floated above him. The sword seemed interesting, but also he wasn't quite sure it fit with his image. Or that it was needed given that at a certain level he was liable to break any such weapon by accident. Still he took it and weighed it in his hand. "I um, I got something for you to. I mean I have a present for you. I um, well I wasn't sure if you would like it but..."
Martin maneuvered himself and reached into the drawer next to the bed and pulled out a small tan box, opening it up to reveal a small metal necklace with a diamond like shape dangling at its center, a warm energy coming off of it. "After uh, everything that happened recently...anyway its a charm, if you think of me, the end points in whatever direction I am." he blushed a bit and offered it to her. "So if you are in trouble, you can find me and I will help."
Squad 4- Training Room
Clay had been largely unaffected by the future they had witnessed, mostly due to the fact that anything that was known to happen could also be prevented in one form or the other. All they had to do was kick outlaw ass and send this Gaea folks to the stables and everything would be fine for the future. Which had been his plan since he had learned for the varmints in the first place, so nothing had really changed for him.
Getting to show off during practice was also putting a smile on his face, it had been a bit since he had to push himself and the last thing he needed was to go flabby from sitting around with all this fine future food. Still it seemed he was one of the last few members of the group to show up. "So what y'all think they have in store for us today?"
Be better, because what is the harm in trying?

Squad 1
“Oh, sweetie...” Yoko whispered, squeezing his hand comfortingly as she drew him into a slight hug. “Please don't worry about that... I know you'll be amazing. I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have put this on you so young. I'm sorry.”
She pursed her lips as she looked at him, before planting a small, reassuring kiss on his lips.
“It'll be okay, Zach... I'll help you. I... had trouble with being a dad too. Yes, I said that right. Best not to think about it,” she winked with a stifled giggle, before sobering once again as she looked at him. “Just... come to me if you need any help... and don't be ashamed. Have faith in yourself, Zach. You'll do fine. I know you will.”
She grinned with a little more vibrancy as she pulled away but a fraction.
“And no kid of mine is gonna turn out 100% pure anyway, so that's the end of that. Now come on. It's Interceptor-sensei's class this morning. And you know what that means.”
Squad 4
“I hope it's nothing too bad...” Evelyn quietly murmured as she finally slipped into the training room; joining up with her squad and glancing self-consciously down at her lackluster form. “I-I don't think I'm really cut out for... for physical stuff...”
She was worried. That much was certain. But now there was an underlying determination apparent. She'd still showed up, after all—so it was clear she wasn't backing down from it. But at the same time, the feelings of anxiety were still rearing their heads. And what with her inability to even see being painful for her to compensate for, she wasn't exactly hopeful for the next twenty minutes or so.

Deranged X-Mas Figure
Laurie's Office — Sally
Laurie had been arranging several documents as Sally came in. She was wearing her usual suit and tie, though her tie was still somewhat loosened and her long blond hair was as messy as ever. "Hey, come on in! I swear, I might as well have been collecting dust with just how often people come to see me. Which isn't very."
She listened as Sally poured out her problems, eventually ending with her in a mess of tears on the floor. "Hey, hey! Calm down, okay? It's gonna be alright, trust me." As Laurie tried to help Sally, she could feel a steady wave of calm washing over her, as though all her worries and concerns seemed so trivial in the grand scheme. "There. Feel better?"
Laurie's Office — Finn
Laurie had been doing much the same when Finn came in. "So I think the first thing you need to ask yourself is, how is it wrong? What's so wrong about acting on impulse and going off half-cocked? And how do you think you should act?"

Vivian-Squad 4
Viv felt the word buzzing noise in her ears. Tensing up, she got ready for whatever new craziness was about to start. As the world faded away, she saw Evelyn throw away her new hat. Hey! That was a gift! Then she heard Iuvem start to say something about "it" being finished. "Hang on, wha
(bright white noisesound and wavy soundnoise)
t did they finish?" she meant to go on, before she was dumped unceremoniously onto the floor they'd left what felt like years before. Getting up, she cursed and rubbed her sore bum before jumping as Perry took off, calling for her dad. That whole thing had just been....weird. Had the other kids been taken too? What had they seen? And how could they fix that future? That tore it. She needed a drink. Maybe something with chocolate and maple sugar. Maybe some ice cream. Pizza. A donut. "Anyone need to decompress?" she asked. "Get some normal food and just chill?"
