Found any other foods you like though... I guess that wouldn't qualify as food since its not and now I'm rambling. I'm going to stop.

Hmm I don't know

I'm sure you'll find other things that you like.

Pixi stix made me want to run

chuckles That's because all they are is flavored sugar.

What Ally said. Then she got worried about sugar shock and comas.

Not sure about the sugar shock but comas aren't rare if someone has too much sugar. There's no tellin' how much our transgenic bodies can take.

I only had 30 small tiny ones and 20 big huge giant ones.

Oh my... Ben. No wonder she was worried.

*he smiled sheepishly* They are good!

smiles Not so many at a time, huh? Don't need anyone to worry or have anything to happen to you.

And, yes, they're good. Not that I'd know as well as you. I've tried them once or twice only and left it at that.

I gave some to Alec too.

chuckles Why am I not surprised?

I learned to share. He only got twenty though and only after Ally got worried. So I wouldn't eat them.

Nothing wrong with sharing. How have you been doin', Ben?

Ups and downs.

Nothing too bad I hope. Maybe I just worry too much. Already have people telling me I need to stop protecting everyone and take time out for myself. Okay, so not exactly everyone. Just Original Cindy.

*blinks a bit then nods* oh yeah I met her.

I think I scared Alec.

She's a great friend. Just worries I don't take time out for myself.

How'd you scare Alec?

I got too restless. I think. I lost control and went out and I killed someone

Ben...

Did they deserve it?

The way you used to?

Maybe they did. I heard screams and he was raping a woman. I let her go and he ran. And I hunted him down. Toyed with him and let him think he was safe.

I caught him and snapped his neck and for a little bit I don't remember anything. Then I looked down and I had his teeth.

If they were hurting someone... I'm not saying I like how you did it. But he won't be hurting anyone else ever again.

I went to Ally's to wash off the blood. It was all over because I cut him up to get rid of him.

Alec came because John called and I started talking about The Blue Lady.

You always did believe in her the most out of all of us.

I don't know if I do anymore. She didn't protect me.

She didn't really protect any of us. Eva... Jack... you... Zack. Me.

I tried to keep her happy.

I know. But the only one you need to keep happy is yourself and whoever you end up spending the rest of your life with.

Wasn't for me. Was trying to keep her happy to keep you and the others safe.

I know you were. Just like I'd do anything to keep you all safe. Baby of the family or not. I'd say its Zack's job but you know... he'd just want us split up and all over the place again.

We'll be safe though. We'll keep each other that way. Or at least try our damnedest to.

Was never a good idea to split up the unit.

No, it wasn't. I don't think he saw it that way though.

He did what he thought was best.

He did. I sometimes wonder if that's what we're doing.

I'm not doing anything. I am just here.

You're alive. That's well enough for me.

I'll find use eventually.

You have a use, Ben. It may not be huge to you but it is to other people. You're family. A brother.

I am an Uncle too.

Yeah, that too.
