Andrei and John
Andrei connected with John and almost flinched back at the despair, the loneliness and loathing he felt emanating from the boy. Even in Andrei's darkest moments, he had never beat himself up that bad. He almost wanted to break off the connection, but then he remembered.
He wanted to thank John.
Leon was always a part of him. He carried Leon within him, and he knew exactly how Leon felt about John. Proud and fiercely protective over the boy who was like him, yet utterly unlike him. Leon loved John on a level that Andrei couldn't touch, nor Mickey. It was the unconditional love you have for a little brother.
Andrei drew on that love and flooded it right into John. He grinned as he poured it into the shaman, whispering: "That's how much Leon loves ya. I wanted you t'know."
