How is it not real, Krit?

The 'Nomalies do not eat you. The Blue Lady, Everything just fell apart.

You sure you're not cracked?

Alec told me. The 'Nomalies live in TC. They haven't eaten them like Ben said thay would.

No one is really considered a Nomalie anymore, Krit. They're citizens of Terminal City. They're people just like us. And no one has been eaten.

*just sits and blinks trying to let that all process*

I or her or whichever you belong to I'm sure couldn't leave everyone in Manticore when it was brought down. Had to let everyone out.

I don't belong to anyone. Not anymore.

Just a lot to take in. Years of believing and everything you know is shattered. Feel. Lost.

frowns, growls Don't ever say that, Krit. You have family, therefore, you belong to people.

And I know the feeling of being lost. Ames White... Deck... Renfro... they're all dead. And, hey, I've got a daughter. Who unlike mommy and daddy is free.

It takes some getting used to. And you've not really been in Seattle so you couldn't know.

No took Syl and went into hiding.

a daughter?

Yeah, I've got a six month old daughter. Her name's Alyssa.

*smiles some* that is good.

And what's better... despite having two transgenic parents she doesn't have a barcode.

Neither do mine.

blinks

You've got kids? By who?

I have two. Twins. Boy and a girl.

Who's the mommy and what's their names?

Dominic and Elizabeth.

Syl.

grins

Why am I not surprised. I bet you two are great parents.

I don't think many would be surprised with me and Syl. It's always been us even after we ran. We try to keep them safe. It's easier without the barcodes. We still hide though. They are a year old and walking around like pros.

Well, if you're ever in Seattle you can stop by Terminal City. There's kids there their age. You and Syl... me and my dear ol' boy. grins

Who actually proposed and for him that's... well, huge.

Who is that?

Alec.

He didn't say anything about that. Then again you are a different max even so I was warned.

Yeah, there's a bit of that going around. My Alec hasn't shown up here yet.

I think I angered the other Max trying to be the big brother.

raises brow How'd you do that? Not that I see how you could anger me er... oh forget it. You know what I mean. I think.

She mentioned Ben being alive. I asked if he was you know, sane. She said he was and I said good. I didn't need to seek and destroy and she said it was her job if it happened again.

She might feel like its her job though, Krit. Never really know.

Wanted to save her the pain.

Noble gesture. Maybe she thinks she needs that bit of pain to get by. No telling what's going through her head.

I didn't even get to tell her about Dominic and Elizabeth.

You'll get your chance to.

Hopefully.

Hey, you will.

If I stay. This place is strange.

Yeah, it is. But its nice at the same time.

I guess. Never one for a lot of people.

Well... at least until you can tell her at least or something.

That might be a good idea.

Then you can run off to be wherever.
