Just dropping in [Rosie/Open]

[cam]

Jan 21, 2009

Cam Osborne had heard that his only sibling that was still alive had been in the hospital and he didn’t even visit. He was a bad brother, sure he loved his sister to death, and that he always promised to be there for her, but he wasn’t. He had a valid reason to not be there for her. He was working on a case that took him to Canada and he happened to visit his cousin while there and that was an awkward situation.

He sighed as he looked down at the piece of paper that he had been carrying. He was looking where his sister had moved. Last time he heard she was living in New York. He knew that it was probably going to be a shock for her to see him, but he just wanted to see how his only sibling was doing.

He found the apartment building and walked up the stairs and entered the building. The building was different from his apartment building. This apartment building didn’t have a door man. Of course, Cam wasn’t going to judge his sister on picking out apartments. She had picked out a nice neighborhood. It wasn’t like his which was pretty rich.

As he entered the building, he proceeded to the floor where he thought that his sister’s apartment would be located at. He hoped this was the right place. He found the apartment number and knocked on the door, hoping his sister would answer the door.

Rosie had finally got out the hospital about a week ago, but she had been told to take things very easy indeed, and she had been promising Ira she would do just that. She had no option really, because with the cracked ribs she had suffered, the slightest movement was causing shock waves through her body, it was like no pain she had ever felt before.

Right now however, she was sitting reading a book, she has sent Ira a text only moments before to give him an update on how she was feeling much to his relief by the reply she had got back from him, it put a smile on her face.

Just as she began to read another chapter of her book she heard a knock at her door, which Rosie thought to be very strange, because it couldn't be Ira, he was at work, unless he was doing it as a surprise, that had to be it, because it couldn't be anybody else. She hadn't heard from her oldest brother in quite some time, and she doubted very much it would be him.

Easing her way out of the sofa slowly she headed toward the door, and gently and carefully opened it, and her eyes almost popped out of her when she saw that it was indeed her oldest brother Cameron standing by the door. Well actually his name was Leland, but Rosie called him Cameron, or Cam, which was his middle name. She used to tease him saying that mom and dad gave him a ridiculous name and she preferred to call him Cameron and it stuck.

"Oh my god Cameron" she said simply with a smile on her face, stepping back slowly so he could come in. "It's so good to see you after such a long time" she added, and it really was, especially after the recent deaths of Jake and Tony. After she closed the door, holding onto her side with one hand, she gently put her other arm around him and hugged him the best she could without causing herself pain which wasn't necessary.

[cam]

To be honest Cameron wasn’t sure if he should have came unannounced it was very much unlike him to come over unannounced. Nevertheless, he just wanted to surprise his sister. He was close with his sister and he wanted to see how she was doing. He hoped that she was doing well. He should have kept in touch, but sometimes keeping in touch just slipped out of his mind.

It was a common flaw of his. He loved his family, but sometimes you had to put the distance between personal life and work life. Of course, that always seemed to be the thing that would have happen to him. Especially in his line of work. Cam was a detective and it was kind of hard for him to balance family and work. No, Cam wasn’t a work alcoholic – or didn’t consider himself one.

Cameron was surprised that Rosie was at home. Of course, she had to be at home, she was injured from a bank heist last month or something like that – Cam couldn’t remember all the details. He just knew that he was out of town when she was injured and he hated not being there for her, alas that was just a part of life that he was just going to have to deal with.

He gave a smile and stepped into the apartment as the two siblings embraced a half hug. He didn’t know the extent of his sister’s injuries and didn’t want to injury her anymore then she was already. He then slowly took his hands away from the hug and smirked. “Surprised to see me?” He asked with a slight chuckle. “So how is my sister?” He asked as he placed his hands in pocket.

[rosie]

She couldn't stop smiling, laughing was still difficult, but smiling, smiling she could do. Even the half awkward embrace they shared was endearing and made Rosie smile. She hadn't seen her oldest brother in a long time, and since the deaths of her other older brothers she was beginning to wonder when she'd see Cameron again.

When he asked if she as surprised to see him, she just grinned again, what else could she have been? "Yeah, of course I am" she said, as she began to head into the living room again. Even walking was still a very awkward thing to do, but if she took her time, she was fine. The doctor told her the other day she should be back to normal within the next two weeks, she couldn't wait.

Arriving in the living room, she immediately headed for her soft sofa and slowly lowered herself into it. "I'm okay, I've been better, but I was a lot worse" she said honestly as she looked at him with sad eyes. After all she had almost died twice during that ordeal, well during the heist, and then again at the hospital. Then she had that dream. She shook her head as she remembered it, she still hadn't mentioned it to Ira.

"I saw them you know" she began, looking up at him, "Jake and Tony, I think I died at least once" she added ever so softly looking away from him now. She couldn't bring herself to look at him when she was talking about her own supposed death.

[cam]

In reality Cameron really missed his family, but everything had been very awkward lately and he was unsure if what was going to happen. He wasn’t sure if he was going to lose another sibling or not. To be honest, Cameron was very scared about losing another sibling, yet he always seemed to stay away from his siblings. Nevertheless, he was going to make up for the last year in which he hadn’t been around.

Cam grinned at his sister and followed her into the living room. He noticed that she was limping a little, but perhaps she would be back to her old self in no time. Rehabilitation wasn’t that all bad. Hell, he got shot once, but that was another story that he wasn’t going to mention. His sister didn’t need to know about that.

“Well, you survived and that is all that matters” He said with an honest look as Rosie looked at him with sad eyes. He didn’t know what to say. He hoped that his words made sense. Sometimes his own damn words never made sense and he hated when he didn’t make any sense. People were supposed to make sense, not be awkward. Or perhaps that was just his philosophy.

Cameron raised an eyebrow, “You saw Jacob and Anthony?” He asked with a curious tone. Yes, he had just called his two deceased brothers by their full names. It was kind of awkward, but he always seemed to called Jake and Tony by those names. However, he never seemed to call Rosie by her full name. “So I guess I’m not the only one” He admitted

[rosie]

He did have a point when he said that she had survived and that was all that mattered. She only survived because her brothers made her go back. She had wanted to go with them when she'd saw them, because she had probably been the closest to Tony and Jake because they had been around more often. But they hadn't been happy with her, and told her it wasn't her time and basically sent her back.

"You're right Cam" she said softly and giving him a warmer smile, "I'm just glad I came back, not sure what Ira would have done if I had died" she replied and then looked over at the photo of her and Ira together on her display case unit. Yes they were definitely a couple now, but Ira was still rather awkward around her, but he was much better than he had been at the start. Rosie had a lot of time for Ira, which was why their relationship worked.

"Yeah I did" she clarified when he asked that she had seen Jake and Tony only he had called them by their full names. Funny how he never called her Rosangela. Then he said that he wasn't the only one. This made Rosie look up again and she looked right into Cameron's eyes.

"You've seen them too? Did you almost die?" she couldn't help but ask the most morbid question she could think of. There was also that dream. She'd have to tell Cameron about that, as well as Ira.

[cam]

He nodded and just raised an eyebrow when she mentioned someone named Ira. He wondered who this Ira person was. Of course, he didn’t know that his sister was seeing someone. So it was kind of a shock to him. “Uh, so, uh who is this Ira person?” He asked a bit curious. He wanted to know if this person was even good for his sister.

“Interesting” He said with a slight nod, when she admitted that she saw both of their brothers. He was the odd one, he only saw three of them. Then again Rosie really never knew Harrison and Harrison was the one who died – all those years ago. This family had a problem with death.

“Yes, I have” He admitted “I have almost died once upon time, actually twice one time landing on that damn carrier and the other one being shot, a few months ago” He said shaking his head as he thought of those two days. “But the first time, was just Harrison and Jacob” He decided to added.

[rosie]

Rosie should have known the soon as she mentioned Ira's name that Cameron would question it, it was typical big brother behaviour really. Thing was Ira and Cameron would probably get on very well together if they were to meet she thought with a smile. "Ira is my new boyfriend Cameron" she began, "He's sweet, quite shy to be honest, works for the FBI and he loves me and I love him" Rosie continued blushing slightly at the words spoken of love.

"Very interesting, I wanted to be with them though Cameron, I wanted to go, but they wouldn't let me go, they sent me back" she said, explaining some more about what happened when she saw both Jake and Tony.

Cameron then went on to explain that he had almost died, and not just once, but twice and explained them and who he saw. Funny he should have seen the oldest brother Harrison, why hadn't she seen him she wondered. Possibly because she grew up around Jake and Tony more.

"So you've seen Harrison and Jacob and then you saw Harrison, Jacob and Tony the next time? Makes you wonder if we should have some sort of spirit ability instead" half joked, not wanting to make herself laugh too much for knowing it might hurt her.

"I had the weirdest but sweetest dream while I was in the hospital though" Rosie mentioned, blushed slightly as she remembered Tony's words saying she looked beautiful. Yes death was a funny thing, it was morbid to think about it, yet when you were dying everything seemed so peaceful and welcoming.

[cam]

It was a part of natural selection that the older brother would question – his little sister’s boyfriend or whatever the causes would be. To be perfectly honest Cameron really didn’t care. This male Ira probably would be the right fit for his sister, but he could be wrong and he didn’t want to say anything about that. “Oh, FBI nice” He said sighing “I’m now working for the FBI” Cam decided to mention

“Yeah, they told me to watch over you” He said with a smile. “Guess we need one another since, it’s just dad, you, and me” He said rolling his eyes when he mentioned their father. “Dad and I are kind of on bad terms especially after what Uncle Cale told me” He said shaking his head debating if he should mention what their own father did to them.

What Cameron was told from Cale was that Jacob, Rosie, and he were injected with abilities while Harrison and Anthony were born naturally with abilities. It just pissed off Cameron that his own flesh and blood would experimentation on them.

Cameron just nodded, “I know kind of creepy” He said shaking his head as he raised an eyebrow. When Rosie started to joke about having spirit ability. Perhaps they did or perhaps it was a sixth sense. It really didn’t matter – every family had some sort of sixth sense.

“The weirdest, but sweetest dream?” asked Cam as he finally decided to sit down. “Do tell” He said with a smile as he wondered what this dream could be about. He was very curious to see what his sister had dreamt.

[rosie]

"Oh you are? What you doing within the FBI then?" Rosie asked Cam, when he said he was working with the FBI as well. She knew Ira was more to do with the computers at the FBI, at the office as opposed to out in the field.

Rosie laughed when Cameron said that Jake and Tony had told Cameron to watch over her. "Yeah, that figures, they certainly weren't happy to see me at the gates, that I can assure you" Rosie replied and laughed again, clutching her side, as every time she laughed she was in a lot of pain. "You would think I'd know by now it hurts to laugh" she added shaking her head at her own stupidity.

She wanted to know why Cameron and their father weren't on speaking terms, although Rosie herself hadn't seen their father in a long time, not because she didn't like him, she just had been busy with other things and hadn't a chance. "Why aren't you guys talking? What happened?" she asked, she had to, she couldn't be told that her brother and father weren't speaking.

"Yeah" Rosie replied when he said it was kind of creepy that they had both seen their dead brothers. Rosie then shivered slightly for no real reason.

She wondered if Cameron would want to know about her dream, and he did, and she certainly didn't mind telling him it. "Well I was walking down the aisle about to get married to Ira, and when I got there, Jake and Tony were beside Ira and they told me how beautiful I looked and how it was right that they had sent me back, and that they would always be with me" she explained softly, giving Cameron a smile. "It was nice, weird but nice, when Ira turned to look at me, I woke up, and Ira was sitting by my bed looking right at me" she continued.

[cam]

“Yeah, I got sick of working for NCIS, so I got a job working with the FBI, I’m one of their forensic investigators” He said sighing. He liked the FBI better than NCIS. The Navy was just kind of weird working for, but he was enjoying it.

Cameron just looked at Rosie as she laughed. He knew that it probably hurt for her to laugh. He just gave her an odd look as she began to speak about her unfortunate event at the pearly gates. “They weren’t happy to see me, Harrison wasn’t particular happy about it” He said shaking his head as he reflected on it. “Well, you should stop laughing” He said shaking his head.

“Because of this” He said as he started to levitate a book that was on her coffee table. It floated in the air for a moment before he gently put it down. “It turns out us meaning Jacob, you and I were experimentation with a formula that gave people abilities” He said with a tone of anger.

“I mean who the hell in their right mind would even experiment on his own flesh and blood? It just doesn’t make any sense” Cameron said shaking his head as he rolled his eyes “And talk about weirdness Uncle Cale says our crazy cousin, Evan is now hunting evolved humans, what till he finds out he is an evolved human”

Cam just simply nodded when she responded with a ‘yeah’ it would seem that it was really creepy to see their own brothers. In fact who were dead. It just didn’t make any sense – like anything did anyway.

He listened to his sister as she spoke of this dream of hers. It seemed like an awkward dream alright. He just couldn’t help, but nod and reflect in his head about this dream. “Well, that is pretty interesting” He said with a smile. “Now talk about creepiness” He said with laughter. “So when will I meet Ira?” He asked in a curious tone.

[rosie]

Rosie listened carefully as Cameron spoke about working for the FBI now instead of the NCIS. Forensics with the FBI that sounded like an interesting job to do. She smiled at Cam, as it was better than laughing. "Sounds good, so long as you enjoy what you do now, then you've made the best choice" she replied. She couldn't wait for the next two weeks to go in when she might actually be able to enjoy laughing again.

"I guess none of our family members would be happy to see us at the gates, especially when we're still so young" Rosie said in reference to the brothers not being happy to see Cameron either. "And yes I know I should stop laughing, but you forget to easily when the pain has eased off a good bit, only when you laugh does it return tenfold" Rosie explained. She was certainly much better than she'd been when she just got out of hospital. She could move around easier, it was just laughing which still hurt, or big intakes of breath.

Cameron's voice seemed to change when he told her about why he and their father weren't talking. She didn't like the tone of his voice at all, but when he went on to explain further, she could understand and Rosie wasn't overly impressed either. "I can't believe that" she began, to be honest she didn't exactly hate her ability, but the idea that she and her brother had been experiments, it was just cruel. "It's cruel, it makes me feel like we were just animals in a testing lab" Rosie continued also getting a little angry. She had to watch that, because her anger had been known to bring on spurts of freezing things.

When he then went on about Uncle Cale and Evan, it just got worse. "Unbelievable" she said shaking her head, and then put her hand on Cameron's arm to calm him, "Try to calm down a little, because if I don't calm down I might accidentally freeze something" Rosie warned, even as she took her hand away from Cameron she could feel it cold.

She was glad that talking about her dream calmed him down a little, and she had to gently laugh, holding her side when he said that it was interesting and creepy also. "Guess we're the King and Queen of Creepiness huh Cam?" Rosie said. When he asked when he would get to meet Ira, she smiled, "Soon I hope, I was going to invite him over for a meal and drinks in the next week when I'm feeling better, maybe you could join us?" Rosie said, she would like it, because she needed to spend more time with Cameron, now that it was just the two of them.

[cam]

Cameron nodded when he listened to his sister speak about what his new job was. He liked it. He got to travel – just as if he were a part of NCIS, but this time he didn’t have to deal with the Military. The Military was nice, but sometimes the cases they investigated where just lame. For instance, a marine running over a fellow Marine that he impregnated. The Military had very odd cases. So did the FBI, but it wasn’t that crazy. “Of course” He said with a smile.

“Hey, you’re the younger one” He said shaking his head “I’m in my thirties” He said with a chuckle. “Yeah, I see what you meant, I mean it sucked when I got shot, you try laughing when you get shot in the abdomen, it sucks” He said with a slight smirk. “So I know how you feel” He said with a slight nod. He had been in a situation almost like hers, it would seem to him. However, two situations could be different from others situations.

Cameron had the right to be angry. He was just pissed that his own father would even experiment on their children. Who in their right mind would do that? Of course, that meant that Cameron and Rosie were sort of in the league with the President – Cameron heard a rumor that he was injected with the same formula. “Me either” He stated shaking his head “I know it just sucks, I can’t believe he would do that, I wondered if Mom knew?” He asked out loud. He really wanted to know if their own mother knew about that, but it would seem that he couldn’t ask her, she was dead – like Harrison, Anthony, and Jacob.

It would seem the Osborne family was an awkward family – and kind of obsessed with experimentation. It just sucked that they were involved with a family that wanted to have their own kids evolved humans and then on top of that their cousin Evan was going to start hunting people – like them. He wondered what would happen when Evan found out he was one of the people he was hunting. That probably wouldn’t go well. Nevertheless, as Rosie placed her hand on him. He started to calm down, no use in him getting mad. “Okay” He said in a calmer tone.

“I guess” He said with a slight chuckle when Rosie started to say that they were the King and Queen of Creepiness. It was probably true. They were an awkward family and creepiness was just a part of their genetic structure – it would seem to him. He then nodded when she spoke about when he could meet Ira. “Cool” He began “I would be honored to come, Rosie” He said with a smirk. He really needed to spend more time with his sister and that was probably going to be a good thing to start with and meeting his sister’s boyfriend, which would be good.

[rosie]

Rosie smiled when Cameron said he was enjoying his new job. "Well that's good to hear then" she replied. If her brother was happy then she was happy, if her brother was sad, then Rosie would be sad. Since Cameron was virtually the only family member she had left, other than dear cousin Evan, she wanted to make sure she spent as much time with him as possible.

Rosie laughed gently when Cameron spoke of their ages. Yes she was the youngest one, but still being in your thirties was still too young an age to die. "Being in your thirties is still young Cam" Rosie insisted shaking her head at him a little. When he spoke about being shot in the abdomen Rosie felt herself shake a little. "God that sounds painful, and here I thought I had it bad" she said, and laughed gently again. She found if she laughed gently she could laugh without hurting herself too much.

"Who knows is mom knew" Rosie said, "But it's annoying to think we were test subjects, especially after I accidentally killed one of the robbers at that bank heist I was involved in" when her power was used for death and destruction Rosie hated it. Even though the guy was evil and trying to hurt her. As Rosie thought about it, she began to cry. She didn't want her brother to see her upset like this, but the emotions of that day just took that moment to hit her.

She was glad that Cameron calmed down however after she had touched his arm with her hand. Getting over angry did nobody any good, especially Rosie, her powers worked in ways she didn't want to when she was angry.

She was glad when he agreed to come to the dinner and drinks with Ira and herself. "That's great Cameron, thank you, we should try to spend more time together anyway" she replied with a smile, as the earlier tears were forgotten, for now.

[cam]

Cameron just nodded and decided to drop the subject. He didn’t want to talk about work. Of course, he loved his job, but sometimes it wasn’t a matter of talking people seemed annoyed when he would talk about work – so it would good to drop it. It felt better then to even speak about work anymore.

“But I feel old” He started to protest when he started to complain about his age. It was true, sure he was in thirties and supposed to be young, but he felt old and he hated that. He hated aging, but that was a part of life. He looked at his sister and just shook his head. “Yeah, painful sucks, but god was the morphine a blessing” He teased with a soft laughter. Morphine was always good, but he wasn’t addictive to it as some people might be in.

“Absolutely” Cameron said with a slight nod, “I totally agree that it’s annoying to think we were test subjects” He said shaking his head in disapproval. He was angry at what he had to learn – it just was annoying. It sucked. He then looked at Rosie when she said that she accidentally killed one of the robbers. “You froze them?” He asked in a curious tone.

Cameron knew that getting angry would do anyone good. He was just a person who was trying to be normal and to be honest it was hard to be normal – he had this special ability and fitting in was just kind of odd.

He smiled and nodded, “No worries, Rosie” He said “And I agree we should really spend more time together, we need it we are the only ones left” Yes, Cam was ranting. Ranting always was good in situations, but sometime Cam got a bit out of hand. Which was normal for him!
