El was feeling overwhelmed. She didn't really know how all of this was even possible. It was the future. She'd been recruited. But she was just a kid. And she didn't even have her powers anymore. Something was tugging at her though, just the slightest hint of something coming. She didn't know what it was and for the moment, she ignored it. She had been told she had to go to school here. There was a lot for her to learn, but Iliana seemed nice. She might help. Of course, she missed Mike and Will and the other kids she knew but they weren't here. They might not get recruited. She was pretty much exhausted by all the new information and everything going on. And then Hammerhead had invited her for a milkshake. Somehow that seemed to calm her a bit. And now...Hopper was here. She didn't know how. He'd died at home. But he was here. He was alive. Everything else just fell away. All of her worries and stress about this place just melted. She had finished up her milkshake and then gone to meet him. She was amazed. It was one thing to see him on the network but quite another to actually see him. "Missed you." She echoed and then looked up at him. She couldn't believe he was really there. Tears were forming behind her eyes. He wasn't her dad biologically but it didn't matter. He was her dad in every way that counted. He was the family she'd chosen for herself. They'd chosen each other. And before now, she didn't know if she'd ever see him again. |
