Who: Adele and threecenturyman Steve
Where: The diner

What: Trading Fairy and Super Solider Advice
Warnings: Probably None. Adele might swear.
Open: No.

Adele was already at a table, sipping decaf coffee with no sugar added in. There was no way she needed any extra energy; she put the days of spending all day in bed behind her when she had changed with Steve. It was the only good thing that had come from the swapped powers. As much as it sometimes scared her, she missed her fairy side. And she was constantly worried that she was going to hurt one of the Sully pets, or worse a person. She was surprised that the mug in her hands hadn't shattered yet. She felt like a monster and she suspected that Steve might be feeling the same way about her light and her telepathy. She looked up when he walked in and waved him over to the table.

	Steve reached across the table and took her hand. "I'm sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adele gave an appreciative nod. She would have squeezed his hand in return, if she wasn't afraid that she'd squeeze too hard. "I never thought the island would take him away. He was my rock." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're not alone, though. And if you ever need anything, you can call me." He offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-08 06:38 am UTC (link)
	"I know. I have more people than I've lost." Adele commented. If anything would help get past this most recent loss, it was the people around her. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's no trouble at all." He smiled. "So, any other questions?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How do I not accidentally go Lennie on people?" Adele asked. "I've been practicing with eggs, but I haven't gotten through a dozen yet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-08 06:43 am UTC (link)
	"Valid question." Steve nodded. Fortunately he understood the reference. "It does take a lot of practice. And you have to try to stay calm. Anger really brings it out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-08 06:45 am UTC (link)
	"Is it only anger?" Adele asked. "What if I get happy or sad and try to hold someone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-08 06:47 am UTC (link)
	"So far it's really only anger that brings it out. For me anyway." He shrugged. "I can hold every one of my children without hurting them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-08 06:50 am UTC (link)
	"That's good." It was one less thing for Adele to worry about. "You must be missing them. Or are they all back in time now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-08 06:51 am UTC (link)
	"Kytana, Sean, and Stevie are the only ones back here." He ran his fingers through his hair. "They's only one other one that's still alive in the time I come from." He cleared his throat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-08 06:54 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry." Adele murmured. "It must be hard to have to outlive just about everyone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-08 06:55 am UTC (link)
	"It teaches you to appreciate the time you have." He nodded. "And being back here is good. I get to see people that are long dead in my time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-08 06:57 am UTC (link)
	"Do you ever think about telling them how they died? Maybe prevent it?" Adele asked. "There's all different timelines. It's gotta mean something can change for the better." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-08 06:59 am UTC (link)
	"Most of them died of old age." He shrugged. "Besides, would you want to know how you die? Especially if it's a very long time from right now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-08 07:02 am UTC (link)
	"If it's something that could be prevented, then yeah." Adele answered. "Like if it was a slow growing disease that could be caught early." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-08 07:04 am UTC (link)
	"And if there's nothing that can be done?" He tilted his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-09 03:11 am UTC (link)
	"Then I'd still want to know so I could say my goodbyes and not take any baggage with me." Adele answered. "But that could wait until closer to the end." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-11 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Steve sighed. "You're definitely different than Tony and the others." He shrugged. "Besides, everything is so different here it doesn't really matter." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-11 06:11 am UTC (link)
	Adele shrugged. "Maybe they don't have baggage." She looked down at her coffee cup. "That's for sure. It's too different." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-11 06:20 am UTC (link)
	"Anything else about the abilities?" He cleared his throat. Definitely wanted to change the subject. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-11 06:26 am UTC (link)
	"Um. If the voices get too loud, sometimes it's good to get away." Adele replied. "People might tell you not to, but if there's a door to some place or if you can find a quiet spot on the island, it can be good to be alone for a bit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-11 06:29 am UTC (link)
	Steve nodded. "Thanks. You've probably noticed the enhanced senses from me. It's actually pretty easy to just focus on what you want to listen to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	namedaftergran 2015-12-11 06:30 am UTC (link)
	Adele nodded. "Yeah, it's strange to sounds outside my head so loudly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-11 06:32 am UTC (link)
	"Just concentrate on what you really want to hear. If you try, you can actually hear stuff up to a mile away." He scratched the back of his neck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
