Re: April and Eliot
April tried not to flinch as he opened the beer against the counter or imagine the marks that might be left there if it got to be a habit. It wasn't important now anyway, and besides, she didn't want to upset him further.
Jumping up so that she was sitting on the counter, she sighed. "None of us asked for this, and none of us wants this, but there really isn't anything we can do about it, is there?" she said. "If we don't follow the rules we go to jail, and while this might seem like it to you it's really not." She'd seen enough of it with Abby and that was the one they had here. "Besides, with the super powers, how long do you think the government will settle for just having you in jail? How long before they start conducting experiments?" If she was tempted to, surely they were too.
