Summary: April talks to Eliot

If things had been tough before, it was worse now. Sam had stepped up training to the point of exhaustion and yet it was nothing compared to what G put them through each day. April was glad that she had other assignments, things to do which gave her breaks in the insane pace. It was only made worse by the gaping hole that Savannah and John's absence left in the team.

Eliot, while better physically, was still not himself mentally. It was as if he had a huge weight on his shoulders that wouldn't let up. Not that he complained, but she knew him too well not to notice.

"How are your eyes feeling today?" she asked when they were alone in their room. The lights were dimmed, to spare his eyes. They were still sensitive to light, though not as much as before. The gauze was off, but in the day he still wore sunglasses and a hat to protect them. It was getting better, though his vision was still blurred. It would come, she was sure of that, but Eliot wasn't always the most patient person.

"Still a blur." Sometimes, Eliot would have a short burst of his prior vision, and the world would be x-ray normal for a brief moment before it vanished again. He hadn't mentioned it, but now was as good as time as any. "May still have my power, though."

Eliot grunted softly after she kissed him. He'd been concerned about the excess training. As long as she was taking care of herself, he was good.

Now that had her attention. "You've seen things in x-ray again?" she asked. She'd been convinced that he'd get his normal vision back - why else would he react to normal light? He'd not been able to tell the difference between light and dark before.

"How often and for how long?" she asked, wondering what this meant. That he'd see in x-ray but still have his eyes, that he'd lose the ability to see in x-ray when his normal sight returned or that he'd have both? Neither?

She smiled at the grunt. "You know I wouldn't put Eve at risk," she said softly. She also didn't think Sam or G would either, but she was always looking after herself especially. Neither one was an expert in pregnancies after all.

	"Yeah, occasionally. First time was last Sunday," Eliot said. He shrugged. "Nothing substantial. Mostly flashes here and there." Eliot had stopped focusing on what he could and couldn't see, and had started learning to work around it again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Any other flashes? Normal vision at all? Contours, shadows?" she asked, curiosity taking over. Taking his hands, she moved them apart so that she could take a seat in his lap. It was the only way she was refraining from reaching for her medical bag. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No. I just see like I used to, sometimes, is all," Eliot said. "Nothing to get excited about. Either my vision will return in one way or another, or it won't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wrapping her arms around him, April kissed his cheek, trying to curb her enthusiasm. "It will," she told him, with all the confidence she felt. "So do you want to talk about the mood you've been in lately?" she then asked. "You know we can't avoid talking about this forever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"M'not in a mood," Eliot grunted. A holding pattern, maybe. He was trying not to let it stop him. "Ain't thrilled about Callen's jackassery, but I reckon it's how he's dealing. Everyone has their own way of doing it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"They do," she said softly. "We all do." She by cooking and spoiling everyone in the house. Eliot by his silence and determination.

"How is, Nate?" she then asked, changing the topic of conversation. She'd examined him earlier, but at least physically he was fine. She'd left him and Eliot to talk in peace after first examining him. She figured he'd tell Eliot more than he'd ever tell her.

	"Nate's fine. Not thrilled - we both agree that Parker or Hardison would've loved having what he got - but he'll deal." Eliot rested his hand on April's belly. His lips formed a moue. "I miss not seeing Eve all the time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You'll see her plenty in a few months," she assured him softly. "Just focus on finding your sight again. It will be even better, I promise. You'll be able to see what color her eyes are. Her first smile."

"You will get your sight back. Your full sight. I'm sure of it." She couldn't medically prove it, there was no way for her to actually know, but she was as certain of it as she'd ever been certain of anything. "You'll be able to do everything you did before you got your power again."

	"I reckon I've been able to do certain things just fine," Eliot drawled, sliding his hand lower. A salacious smile spread across his face. "Allow me to demonstrate." (Reply to this) (Parent)
