I think I got a headache just trying to understand that.

Question is... have you tried calling Tommy weak to his face? Heh.

[helpdesk_hero]

I said comparatively weak. And we both know he's dangerous. In comparison to his twin? He's stuck in shadows.

I don't know your biology well enough to prescribe pain killers. Sorry.

[sunlightgirl]

I know. I'd still like to see you say it to him though!

I don't really know my own biology either. The difficulties of being, well, one of very few of my kind left.

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah.

[That's definitely... a problem.]

I suppose I shouldn't just mention that I'm building a time machine?

[sunlightgirl]

You are? Why?

[helpdesk_hero]

Fun? To prove I can? Research of history to find accurate information? Still, there's theories on how to balance time travel. One could theoretically use something, like a large stasis device, to take those peoples wiped out by a death on the scale your people have experienced, preserve them, let the destructive event happen, and bring them back in the future beyond the point where history as YOU know it, shows they ceased to exist.

[And with his data from the Watcher, he knows it's possible.]

[sunlightgirl]

[ And there's the scariest idea she's heard all day. ]

Last time I dealt with any of my people, it ended with Xavin leaving with them, disguised as me. In custody. So, like... I dunno if any of that sounds like a great idea.

That said... time travel is pretty cool? We had Gert's parents' machine until recently but... well, long story short, 1000 years from now they're dealing with hungry god-creatures.

[helpdesk_hero]

That's true. I'm sorry about that. There's a think about the Skrull who are noble. They tend to do that stuff.

Hungry god creatures are a mess.

[sunlightgirl]

Sometimes I feel guilty about it, I guess? I have no idea what they are going through out there. And I'm here, and I've moved on, and I'm feeling better than I've felt in just about EVER, and...

[ Wow. Dial it back, K. ]

Sorry. Got a little emotional there.

[helpdesk_hero]

Honestly, I half expect K'lrt will step in to help Xavin in a timely fashion. It's just a hunch. But that's not something you have to deal with.

And emotions are okay.

[sunlightgirl]

Fingers crossed, right? I'd like them to be okay.

I know. I'm just trying to find better ways to deal with the ones that aren't so productive! My therapist helps but... sometimes all the stuff I have to do just to keep myself normal is... well, it's hard work.

[helpdesk_hero]

Fingers crossed is a good plan.

Normal is sorta overrated.

[sunlightgirl]

It's the best one I have right now.

Heh. I guess you're right. Nothing about any of us is normal anyway.

[helpdesk_hero]

I mean, Kate's the closest the YA team has to normal?

[sunlightgirl]

And I guess we have Chase!

[helpdesk_hero]

Which isn't something to shake a stick at.

[sunlightgirl]

Not at all! He's amazing! Did you know he installed a skylight at home so I could move back?

[helpdesk_hero]

Wow, that's pretty awesome.

[sunlightgirl]

Yeah! He and Victor worked together to... kind of???... fix Doombot, too. He still acts dumb, but he's smarter than he gives himself credit for, you know?

[helpdesk_hero]

His parents were smart.

[sunlightgirl]

Yeah, but he's always played the dumb jock. Even now I think he kind of doesn't realize that his brain is... really good.

[helpdesk_hero]

He doesn't even realize it.

[sunlightgirl]

Yeah. Hopefully he does soon... I've been trying to tell him more recently, but I dunno.
He's going through kind of a rough time.

[helpdesk_hero]

Maybe I should tell him?

[sunlightgirl]

You know, maybe that would work?
Because you're not with us all the time, so he might actually be able to see it as something that isn't pity?
