Lu tailed Kacela up to her room, he didn’t really want to show himself, as she seemed to want privacy. After all why would she go to her room otherwise. However as he turned to leave he heard a thump, something bumped against something, but what he heard later got him to quickly run up the stairs. There he saw her. She looked, well how do you expect someone crying to look good. She seemed hurt in a way he couldn’t comprehend. He felt it was somehow connected to what happened not too long ago…

He came up to her, slowly, kneeling down next to her he called out quietly. ”Kacela…” He tried sounding calm, but underneath he was racing, trying to find a way to fix this, to make her feel better. He had no idea so he improvised. Putting his hands on her shoulders he took a deep breath, then hugged her. He had no idea what to do otherwise. ”Don’t cry, I’m here…. I’m here with you…” He held her,, was prepared to get shoved away, hit, anything was better than hearing her cry, at least he had no other idea as on what to do.

Kacela retreated into herself. She felt lost and hopeless. She struggled to remain on the realistic world. Everything to her was turning ash grey. Her body felt dry and withered. Her skin was a husk and dead. She had never been so devastated.

Then her shining beam of hope hit her. As she felt those reassuring hands around her shoulders, she felt herself coming back. Her sobs slowly came down. She started to calm down. Then she felt the world around her again. She felt the wind and the cement under her. And she sensed the person next to her.

Kacela looked up at Lu. She put on a weak smile. "Thank you for caring. But you don't have to anymore. " she said between snuffles. She took out a napkin from her pocket and blew her nose. Standing up, she looked down at her feet. Her eyes were pink and her shoulders shuddered. Kacela felt unsure of what to do. She didnt want Lu to see her like this. Kacela wasn't sure what to do. All she could do was stand there to keep her from crying again.

He just stood there as she stood up, but hearing those words hurt. Lucius didn’t know what to do, but one was for sure, he wouldn’t leave her like that. No, that would be too much and way too insensitive. Furthermore he felt his heart almost break as she tried pushing him away like that. He stood up as she did and just shook his head, looking into her eyes. He knew somehow she would cry if left again. This wasn’t normal what he felt, but to hell with it.

Lu outstretched his hand to Kacela cupping her cheek, then smiled. ”I’m not leaving you alone, nor will I stop caring.” He didn’t know what he felt, but he just pulled the girl into his arms, wrapping one around her and petting her head with the other hand. She needed him now, or that is what he thought. In truth this was something he needed to do or he would hate himself for the rest of his life.

The moment of silence before Marc's reply was rather nerve-wracking, mainly because he didn't give any real indication as to whether or not he believed her until he spoke. When he did, and it became apparent that he did accept her tale, the anxiety that had been building up vanished. It was a wonderful feeling to experience. However, Marc quickly took things to a level that she didn't understand. Hormones? Brain scanning? It was all over her head, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise because Marc was too excited to slow down, hopping to seemingly unrelated points.

When he was finally done speaking, Avery wasn't sure where she should begin a response. Figuring that the beginning was the best starting point, she said, “I-I think you misunderstood me. The 'shield' and the cause of my strength and speed are the same thing. I just use it to make me move faster or with more force. So, I don't know what hormones have to do with anything. And I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with a brain scanner.

“As for being nervous, I suppose that's a large part of it. It's pretty hard to keep people from finding out if I'm not careful. I can control it, but I'm not all that good at it yet and it takes a good bit of concentration. Especially for touching things. I have to remove it if I want to touch anything, so I have to be careful about touching people because they'll notice that there's no actual contact with skin. Most of the time they don't pay attention to picking up objects though, so that's a little easier.

“Does that answer your questions? I suppose that we could go somewhere and I could show you what my powers are like if you want. That might clear some things up,” she finished, looking at him while she sipped at her Vanilla Coke and waited for his response.

No one could ever guess that Hero Anastos was of Greek origin, after all Greeks usually had brown hair and olive skin. Hero was a pale girl with eyes that looked more Asian than Greek – unless you saw her when she was nine, then she looked full-on Grecian. When next to her family, one would guess she was adopted – sometimes she thinks so, too.

Presently, Hero sat in the crowded car with a brother on each side and two more spread in the back with bickering parents arguing over directions. She had been in the vehicle for ten straight hours and she was pulling her hair out at how crazy they drove her. Nik, her older brother who opted out of college, was laughing obnoxiously at a Disney movie; Nemo, the youngest Anastos at the age of two, was currently throwing things around the car; and Alex was tugging strands of her hair to see how long it would take before she turned around. It didn’t take long; Hero spun around and grasped Alex’s hand in a tight grip, seething.

“You’re the bastard of the family.” She hissed at him, too low to be heard by her parents, and Alex snickered despite himself.

“And you’re the outcast.” Reminded Hercules, the last of her brothers, as he leaned forward and flicked Hero on the forehead.

“Shut up, you’re named after a mistake.”

“What can I say, Herculeses can break through the Trojan Wall.” Hercules shrugged and the false brunette rolled her eyes.

“Um, Les, Hercules wasn’t in the Trojan War.” Six-year old Alex said and Hercules’ eye twitched.

After that, it was a madhouse. Everyone was at each others’ throats. Hercules was arguing with Alex about Hercules part in the Trojan War, the Anastos parents’ argument escalated and the father of the circus family claimed he was going to “turn this car around right now” which irked Hero whom began lecturing her father. Nemo began to cry loudly and Nik was complaining and yelling at everybody for interrupting the ending of Ariel. This continued for a few more miles, with a few swerving and swearing involved, when finally, over all the noise, Papa Anastos announced:
“We are here! We are here! Shut the hell up!” And everyone was silent, even Baby Nemo. In this silence they continued, unpacking everything that belonged to Hero until the car was empty. When finished, her brothers hopped into the car without so much of a goodbye and made taunting faces through the window.

Have fun at college, glyké mou.” Her mother called whilst also loading into the passenger seat with Papa Anastos right behind her, echoing the same sentiment.

“You guys are technically horrible parents.” Hero told them.

“That’s an opinion, not a fact.” Chimed Mama Anastos.

The now college student watched as the car sped away, not even a pang in her heart because she knew she would get sick of them when they visited anyways. Picking up her suitcases – all three of them – and balancing them variously in her hands. She had to drag them to the lobby with continuous thumps against her heel. Beyond annoyed, she wanted this to go by as fast as she could when she arrived to the counter. Immediately when the woman looked up at her, she scowled and said as firmly as she could:
“Hero Anastos.”

The woman arched her brow at the attitude but nevertheless retrieved the information. “Room 203, next time you come down here, maybe you could put on a good attitude.”

“I would, but I don’t listen to people who scored a job as a lobbyist at a college.” Snatching the key from the woman’s hand, she marched to the elevator and arrived to the dorm.

Someone had already moved into the dorm, but Hero gave no thought about it. She dumped her bags at the foot of the bed and collapsed into the empty mattress, prepared to not move for a few minutes or hour.

“Hm, that lobbyist might actually be an office worker…”

Kacela smiled through her tears. She desperately wanted to embrace Lu. But at the same time she didn't want to effect his life by showing him her secret. She hadn't yet gotten her own grief. She was still internally mixed. Kacela hugged Lu tightly. Burying her face face into his shoulder. She felt his broad back and his muscles. She pressed herself close to him and simply cried for a minute. Letting herself let our her pent up emotions. She drained herself of all the hate,fear,sadness. She simply let it flow. She knew that this wasn't something she should do, but Lu seemed willing to accept it and Kacela didn't care. Her body heaved with each sob until she calmed down. Kacela then stepped back sniffled and blew her nose on a napkin again. She didn't know how to face Lu. She showed her weaker side. She was so fragile and sensitive.

Why am I so stupid? Why did I cry like a kid?

Kacela thought this inside her head and she looked down at the floor that was wet with her tears. Kacela then looked up and smiled at Lu.

"Thank you. Sorry for making you comfort me...... B-but could i get some time alone? I-I'll see you tomorrow."

Kacela then turned and opened the door to her dorm.

Lu waited, letting Kacela release her sorrow and cry as much as she wanted. While she hugged him he returned the gesture, gently petting her head in order to calm her down slightly. He felt her from pressing against his, making him blush slightly. He accepted as she was, after all opening up like this was a giant step forward, she was showing him, at least that’s what he felt, all of herself. “Let it all out, I’m here for you.” He whispered quietly, petting her head.

After she finished and let go of him, he was a bit saddened, but also hoped she felt better. As she thanked him he just nodded, sheepishly scratching his head. “Don’t worry about me and rest, I’ll be there for you whenever you need me. I’ll see you tomorrow then.” He smiled and nodded letting out a sigh as she disappeared behind the door. I hope she feels better at least. He murmured and left, going outside and aimlessly wandering around the campus.
