She leans her head on his shoulder. "Maybe one day I'll see him again, but under his terms."He wrapped his arms around her.
"I know you miss him." He said. "You've been through a lot."She leans her head on his shoulder. "Maybe one day I'll see him again, but under his terms."
"Kaleb!" She yelled out waving to him before meeting him half way. "Why is your hand all water?..." she askedHe came out his backpack over his shoulder and his hand literally made of water.
He looked at it. "Agh." He shook his hand and it qet back to normal. "Fell asleep at the deinking fountain.""Kaleb!" She yelled out waving to him before meeting him half way. "Why is your hand all water?..." she asked
"What?..." she said both in disbelief and holding back a giggle "how dose someone manage to fall asleep at the drinking fountain?..."He looked at it. "Agh." He shook his hand and it qet back to normal. "Fell asleep at the deinking fountain."
"I dunno." He said."What?..." she said both in disbelief and holding back a giggle "how dose someone manage to fall asleep at the drinking fountain?..."
She chuckled "okay......so then..were do you want to go?...and hey dose not matter you can order what ever you like. Okay" she said"I dunno." He said.
"There's an icecream shop nearby." He said.She chuckled "okay......so then..were do you want to go?...and hey dose not matter you can order what ever you like. Okay" she said
She nods slowly as her voice softens to a whisper. "I have, and there's still so much I don't understand.""I know you miss him." He said. "You've been through a lot."
"Hey." He took one of her hands. "I'm here. For you. And I'll help you figure this out."She nods slowly as her voice softens to a whisper. "I have, and there's still so much I don't understand."
"Icecream?...." she really thought he would have chosen food but hey its his choice. "Alright Icecream it is....lead the way" she said with a smile"There's an icecream shop nearby." He said.

Quinn grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "Jackson, I'm so sorry. That must've been awful for you. But, your friend's right. It's not your fault. You can't blame yourself for something that was out of your control.""When I was about nine I was diagnosed with a terminal inoperable brain tumor." He said. "I had maybe six years tops. My best friend Sam and I made the most of that time exploring the city and playing video games together. One day the Doctor calls my parents and says that they discovered something that might save. All three of us had to sign consent forms to do it so that should have been a red flag. My parents convinved me to sign. They were desperate to save me I guess." He said. "Anyway. The procedure ended up being that I was injected with a dose of alien techno-organic nanomachines which the Doctors had been studying and thought would be able to remove my tumor without surgery. They did but they also did a lot more. They fused themselves to me. Combined to my body right down to the DNA." His face fell as though he was struggling to tell the next part of the story. "The resulting fusion made me unstable and... I exploded. You might have heard of it. How a reaearch hospital went up in an explosion six years ago leaving hundereds of dead and only two survivors... My friend and I were the survivors. He keeps saying its not my fault, that I couldn't have controlled it the way do now. But there's a level of guilt that never really goes away in the face of something like that. I don't know if its survivor's guilt or if I just blame myself." He shook his head. "Anyway, maybe I help people as a way to make up for the accident. To atone for the deaths I caused. Maybe its something more. Heroes are generally made up of two parts and I'm no different. We're made of one part tragedy and one part hope. Many of us just want to keep others from losing what we've lost. For me... Its my parents. Friends. And a whole building of patients and the Doctors who wanted to help them."
He looked at her. "Right." He said parking at an Italian restaurant. "You're right.'Quinn grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "Jackson, I'm so sorry. That must've been awful for you. But, your friend's right. It's not your fault. You can't blame yourself for something that was out of your control."
Eliana pay with no hesitation but was amazed a the shire amount of icecream. She payed for a cookies and cream cone for herself.

Quinn looked at the restaurant. "I've never been here before. It looks nice."He looked at her. "Right." He said parking at an Italian restaurant. "You're right.'
Eliana chuckled as she sat across from him to eat her icecream"Yes." He said rubbing his hands together.
"I've been here a few times. Usually on my own. Good food."Quinn looked at the restaurant. "I've never been here before. It looks nice."
A few people in masks walked in and one if them fired into the ceilong. "This is a stick up!" They started forcing people onto the ground. Many icecreams got knocked over. Including Kalebs.Eliana chuckled as she sat across from him to eat her icecream
"Alone, huh? You don't live with anyone? Girlfriend, roommates?""I've been here a few times. Usually on my own. Good food."
"No girlfriend. No roomates anymore. My best friend is engaged and lives with his fiance.""Alone, huh? You don't live with anyone? Girlfriend, roommates?"
Quinn turned her head to hide her smile. "Oh, well good for him. Let's go in.""No girlfriend. No roomates anymore. My best friend is engaged and lives with his fiance."
