WHO: Galen Marek and Barbara Gordon.
WHAT: It's hot, and Galen seeks council.
WHERE: Barbara's place.
WHEN: Wednesday Morning.
RATING: Low.

It was hot. So unbelievably hot. To such a degree, that Galen had thought about going back to his sick days and find a cool spot in his house to lay down, just like a lizard he had been compared to previously. Instead, Galen took to having his Pokemon come with him, and seek out a friend. Friend was still a weird term for Galen to get use to, but it was still something he was striving for. Now having more friends, as was considering the dancing and the drinking with Miles a branch into friendship.

Looking up at the direction of the sun, Galen squinted some. How did it get so hot so suddenly. This was the worst.

Lucario and Galen walked side by side towards Barbara's place through town. He was actually taking notice of people, and recognizing more of them than previously had - possibly even waving to them or greeted as he passed by. The disgust in his stomach still regarding this. It really took a long time to rebound from being so hard up on the dark side of things. Not that he fully released it, just merely embraced the light side more to acknowledge he had more to learn.

Approaching the door of Barbara's, Galen didn't wait a moment before knocking on it. "Hey, it's me." He called out. "Please tell me you have something cool to drink. It's insanely hot out here."

The story she shared though about getting paralyzed was a painful one. While listening to it, Galen couldn't help the fury that built up in his chest. Barbara was someone close and dear to him, and how could something happen to her.

That single thought snapped the fury into confusion.

She was near and dear. Galen's fury about what happened to her and the pain she went through at an earlier point in her life turned to something soft and almost confused. As he was figuring things out in his own head. That was something he would have to work out in his mind, and figure out what it could possibly mean. That was something he wasn't even sure he was ready to figure out on his own. He'd let it slide mostly.

Barbara was incredibly smart, and that was useful knowledge if something came to rise that needed that type of intelligence, because as he stated - he was a smash and destroy type. He was about the realm of destruction. Though with that level look he received, his eyes narrowed reading her. There was something about it, and he knew he struck a chord. One that she wasn't going to budge on. Well, yet. Galen smiled a soft smile and stood up. Glancing to the back of the house he whistled loudly for Lucario. Walking around the counter, he just approached Barbara and hugged her firmly. Something sweet possibly. "I like you. You're okay." Then he departed from the hug just as quickly.

Raising his hand to signify his departure. "Thank you for your guidance, Barbara." He said with a smile. "I'll be sure to tell you how it explodes in my face, but I now have preparations to make."

A part of her expected him to push, to demand that she tell him more - but he didn't do that, in fact he didn't press for more at all instead he looked like he was getting ready to leave, but instead came around the counter and rather than anything she might have expected he hugged her. It was brief, but it was a hug, a real one and Barbara felt a kind of sentiment that she hadn't fully been ready for and just when she'd been ready to hug him as well he was pulling back.

"I like you too, Galen." She said and rather than let him get away with that kind of quick hug and release she pulled him into another one, still quick and without lingering, but it felt important to her. And she gave him a firm squeeze in return. "Even when you can be annoying," She teased as she stepped back again.

She smiled when he thanked her and promised to tell her how it all went if it ended poorly. "I'll be fine, just trust yourself and have fun." She told him honestly. "Good luck!"

The hug from Barbara caught Starkiller off guard for a moment, before he touched her side lightly to reciprocate the feelings a second time. Sure, it wasn't very in his nature to show a nurturing love like that. Though, this specific woman had managed to put a soft spot right in his chest, to say the least.

"Pft" Turning from her as Lucario barked at Barbara also. "You're the annoying one, Babs." Starkiller decided to final use her nickname while waving his hand at her over his shoulder.
