Sarah knew it wouldn't work. Knew that there was absolutely nothing she could do to bring her loved ones back. But there were just too many, she couldn't handle it emotionally. It was easier to block things away by tucking herself in the lab, and at least trying. Trying things she already knew wouldn't work, and try somethings that might work. Maybe. Possibly. Mixing magics with science could be dangerous, so her little girl was behind a blast shield, in a toddler proof area she'd set up ages ago. It was between her baby, and everything sharp, pointy, and boomy. But tonight she wasn't going to try anything too explosive. It was more like running scans. Though she did have one well powered crystal she trailed between her fingers, as she watched the screen. She walked with a hobble. Sometimes pain made it easier to deal with hard things, kept her linked to the here and now too, rather than just vanishing in the numbers. Being one with the data. She'd left the amazing knee brace Rachel had made her a couple of Christmas' ago behind. And while she'd dressed warmer, she was in nothing but a pair of yoga shorts, and a teeshirt now. Sweater, coat, and bluejeans draped over one of the random chairs. "I should invest in a stressball." Sarah mumbled to herself. |
