January 15th
Fate! Was it all fate? Was our childhood the foundations for the person we’d become in the future when we were all grown up? If these answers were yes then what kind of person would that make a child of a bastard and an abandoner? It was all questions that riddled inside Mary’s mind as she sat back, middle of the day in some mid town bar with a scotch for company. It wasn’t as if she had anywhere better to be.
She brought the cylinder of alcohol up to her ruby lips and softly wet her whistle with a drop or two before placing the glass back down on the table with a sigh. It was vile. No it was pathetic, she was pathetic. Days had passed since her last mark, the last time she had scored a fairly well off pay from satisfying some middle class gentlemen and to be honest, she was tired of the low life. With her ‘talent’ she could make more than a couple hundred. She felt dirty, a hooker of the street and well it wasn’t an inaccurate description of her current line of work. Hook up with some guy, sleep with him and receive payment, where was the hooker part in that job description? That’s right, the first damn word.
Her eyes shifted up as something blocked out the dim lighting scraping through the window, a shadow standing tall and over her and it really wasn’t a good time. She leaned back in her seat, an arm resting along the top. “Excuse me, but I’m really not in the mood for company right now” It was surprising, normally she’d jump at the chance to have some man come over and chat her up but today, today was an off day.
The shadow remained as if the answer no just wasn’t clear enough. She rubbed a hand over her forehead and sighed, leaning forward so to be crystal clear, “Listen broody, I’m not interested so why don’t you turn around and take your dark ass back the way it came”
It was so tempting right now just to click of the reality switch and live in a moment of fantasy but she really wasn’t in the mood and was really just looking for a break. She didn’t expect one just to drop in her lap but what else could she do today? Where else could she go if not to waste the money on drink? It was how her daddy did it. If only she could find a rich employer that could use her persuasive techniques for their business operations but hey unicorns weren’t real right?

Ryan slowly made his way out of bed. The sky was dark and the stares were out shining as tho morning had not arrived yet. Ryan stumbled to his fridge before truly waking up yet. He opened a box of OJ and drank from the carton. Then he made his way back to the couch were he had been sleeping. Not because his bed wasn't comfortable but it was the closest thing to him to pass out in. Ryan turned on the news. " Welcome to Michel Corvus news at 11pm. Tonight a shocking truth about the linderman foundation. It seems that the son of Mr. Linderman has been secretly trying to turn his fathers actions into something good. Two days ago Ryan Linderman was sighted donating a check of 4 thousand dollars to a orphanage in New York city. He could not be found for questioning." The news man said as Ryan flipped off the tv. " 11pm? Wait a second ..... two days ago? I was there yesterday. Then i came home and..... " Ryan tried to remember what happened. He couldn't piece together anything. " I need a drink to clear my head." He told himself.
Ryan made his way down to the bar. There he looked around for a friendly face. He looked at all the people and noted there faces. Making sure that nobody here had met him before. Ryan was the son of Daniel Linderman. He some how attracts the worst crime lords and bad guys to himself. However Ryan is accepting of everyone and sees there crimes as just a means to get by and provide for them selfs and family. Ryan has a you could say different view on life. He was different himself but now that he was working with the company, trying to run two casinos himself and still help out anyone who needed it Ryan was wearing himself thin. He somehow lost two days on top of his work load. Not to mention he missed a day of school. He was looking forward to school. He liked it because he loved to learn about different things and better understand the world. He also liked to see his friends. Mostly he had been slowly drifting away from them. Since his fathers death he didn't have the time.
Ryan spotted a cute girl at the bar. He walked over and sat next to her. It seemed she was talking to this tall guy dressed in dark clothing. Ryan didn't pry into there conversation. " Hey barkeep ill take a jin and tonic." Ryan told the bar tender as she looked over at him. Waiting for his drink to be made he over heard Mary talking with man. She seemed like she didn't want the man talking to her. Though it was none of Ryan's business he decided to intervene. " My apologize sir but they lady said to leave. I suggest doing what she says unless you want to settle this outside. Ryan said as he shifted his eye color from green to bright red. The man without a word walked off. he turned around and whispered. "freak." Ryan smirked when he heard the word.
Ryan looked at the girl. " You ok my lady? " Ryan asked her sitting back down. He took a sip of his drink and felt the burning inside his throat. "argh how can people drink this toxic." Ryan asked mostly to himself as he hated alcohol. He truly was just here to people watch not to get drink like most of the people inside. He closed his eyes and twitched a little bit. He then drank the rest, " Another.' He told the bartender. Ryan had just used his ability unnoticed by those around him. He wondered if the girl beside him could use another one. " Want another one? My treat for interrupting you earlier." He told Mary with a worm smile.

One thing she hated more than jackasses were show-off’s and this guy, whoever he was clearly had little fear which was good but she enjoyed fear, inducing it into her marks so that she can earn that little extra. She wasn’t going to make this kid a mark, he seemed a little too young for that and while the thought did linger a moment it shifted clear as his voice pierced into her subconscious, asking her if she wanted another drink as if by means of an apology. A hand held up an empty glass, the cylinder under light all cloudy from the countless smacks of scotch she had downed and what was one more going to do? If it was offered for free then how could she refuse the deal? Like this really!
Her eyes slowly shifted from glass to brass as she looked at the young man that had scared of that shadowy stalker like person. She allowed her eyes to move over him, seizing him up in about ten seconds and then she smirked, “You’re sweet kid but I don’t need some stranger to buy me drinks or for that matter, to fight my battles for me.” She knocked on the bar, waving for the barman to pour another without even acknowledging him as she continued to gaze at the young man. Fate spun on her seat and muttered, “And don’t call me Lady, I’m not royalty or that old for that matter…got it?” Heroes, why did all these young men have to play heroes in front of the girls?

It seemed that Ryan's attempt to apologize to Mary had failed. Ryan nodded. " I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to step in but i could not stand by and watch that display of injustice." Ryan tried to apologize to the girl. Ryan then turned around putting his back agents the counter. Leaning on it as he took his glass and drank another sip. He closed his eyes. " I was raised to have the dignity to help a stranger in the mist of trouble. Tho you look like you can handle yourself and could have taken that guy out it doesn't mean that you should have to. " Ryan told her. " I admit my rudeness to jump to your rescue the second i felt like he might harm you was a little over dramatic and i tryed to apologize for that with a drink. I had thought that that was the courteous thing to do." Ryan went on.
"About calling you lady, its just i have no name to put with that face of yours. " Ryan told her. " Mines Ryan Linderman. " He introduced himself turning to shack her hand if she came around. Ryan wasn't sure if she had heard of his father. He wondered who hadn't. Ryan's dad was a mob leader and a seemingly evil man. He owned two casinos in Las Vegas which were now owned bye Ryan himself. She at least must have herd of his death. Ryan looked as if he was staring into space. He was thinking of the times he spent with his father and the listens he was taught.

Rebekah was at a loose end. She hadn't heard from James in goodness knows how long, Wes seemed to come and go like a one off bolt of lightning and since then she'd been once again alone. Well alone apart from Ryan, her close childhood friend. Well not close from childhood per say after all Rebekah was brought up in care home after care home, until she found the perfect family and then they were killed. It was soon after Rebekah found herself having to get a flat of her own. And that was when she met Ryan Linderman. His father was a nasty piece of work, but Ryan had always seemed really sweet, and he and Rebekah became like siblings.
Of course she had always stayed in New York where Ryan was more or less based, but not long after Rebekah moved to California to start a new life. A new life which had gone disastrously wrong since the day she'd moved there. Today was one of those days when she needed to find Ryan. She wanted to talk to him. She wanted to pour her heart out and ask him to move to California so he'd be there to help look after her, just like a big brother should do.
Okay, so technically he wasn't her big brother, but he was as good as one in Rebekah's eyes, and she missed him. She had sent him a text earlier that day and found out where he would be. And she knew if he wasn't in his home, he'd be in this bar. Not that he actually drank as such and of course Rebekah was way too young to drink, but she sure as hell was going in to find Ryan.
Once she got into the bar, it didn't take her too long to track him down. At the bar, with a woman. A slightly older woman it would seem. Rebekah wasn't jealous or anything, how could she be? Ryan was just a brother figure to her, but she had desperately wanted to spend time with him, tell him everything which had happened, but now it didn't look like she was going to get that chance. She sighed as she quietly walked up behind him, and then threw her arms around his neck and then up to his eyes.
"Guess who?!" she shouted in exclamation, hoping he wouldn't be mad at her for just pouncing on him like that. It didn't matter if she couldn't tell him everything she wanted to tell him, so long as she could spend some sort of time with him, that would be enough. "Ooh I missed you so much" she added as she squeezed him in a hug from behind with a warm smile on her face.

If they don’t succeed the first time then they damn well keep trying until they crack the jackpot but the problem here was, Mary was completely uninterested and didn’t even care to be social right now. Her life was the dumps and this kid, yeah he was a good few years younger seemed to be acting all posh and noble and that was a major turn off anyway. It took a few moments before her new hit of scotch arrived and she was just about to drink it down when she suddenly jumped or rather next door jumped and she reacted startled, spilling her drink on the bar, her blouse, he jacket, hell! She bit down on her rage, closed her eyes and took herself out of this pit hole for a moment and breathed.
Mary was brought back to reality when she heard some rather affectionate chatter from next door and it was touching and romantic but really, vomit! She pushed her now empty glass back to the barman and sighed, “If there are going to be anymore surprises then can you let me know first so I can save my money?” Sarcasm, yeah it wasn’t. The bars rule was simple, once paid for then no refund. Surprises, she really hated the word and the meaning and it had a lot to do with her own Birthday surprises back when she was young.

Ryan was trying to apologize to the girl siting next to him and explain himself. It was obvious Mary wasn't into him. Ryan felt like she didn't like him. Maybe it was something about Ryan that she didn't like. Normally most people are welcoming twords him. However some people didn't like him for the fact they hated his dad. Then there were those who hated Ryan's mothers side of the family. His half brothers didn't have a good reputation. Nathan becoming the president and all had a lot of pressure and his actions reflected the way some people viewed his family. Some of the words he says were harsh and unsympathetic. Ryan's other half brother was Sylar. A serial killer hunting those with abilities. Not to many people liked this brother either. But to Ryan's surprise there seemed to be an ongoing fan-bass of Sylar worshipers. Some people actually liked him and forgiven him for killing there loved ones. There seems to be a little girl now following him these days.
Lastly was about the only brother whom Ryan would actually want to one day meet. Peter. Peter seemed to be a nice helpful guy and he had a strong ability. Ryan felt like he could bond with him if they had the chance to. But to Ryan's surprise a bound he had made when he was younger had walked threw the door. Rebekah had snook into the bar and put her hands around Ryan's eyes. Closing them shut. At first Ryan was shocked and thought it was a criminal or that guy he had shewed off. But then he hared Rebekah's voice. Ryan smiled. " I know that sweet voice, Bex." He answered.
He had seen Rebekah about 3 months ago. It had been difficult with Ryan's dad dieing and all he had to take on his responsibilities. And now being in the company had put a strain on there relationship. Ryan didn't know if he was being watched. If the company ever found out what Rebekah could do Ryan wouldn't know what he would do. He wanted to avoid any confentation. That was Ryan's big plan, Keep the secrets he knew close and never tell anyone. Not ever. " Well Bex are you old enough to be in a bar? if i remember correctly your a little to young. But don't worry ill keep this a secrete." Ryan told her smiling he was joking with her because Ryan tried to look out for her. If he was here then he could watch her and make sure she was safe. But he wouldn't want her to go to a bar alone. " Not that I'm not happy to see you but what are you doing here exactly?" Ryan asked her.
He then stood up and before she could say anything he gave her a big hug. " It doesn't matter as long as your here right?" He asked her rhetorically. He was very surprised and happy to see his old Friend. "Its been a while. Sorry i haven't visited in a while. Work is killing me. I'm studding under a pretty well known scientist tho. His name is Mohinder Suresh. The son of the author of that book i gave you. " Ryan told Rebekah. He had given her the activating evolution book that seemed to follow those with abilities. Ryan herd Marys comment about Not wanting to be surprised and Ryan felt bad she didn't want to open up and be his Friend. He wondered what he did to make her feel this way. Ryan hated not being liked like this. Even tho he had jut met her he felt like it was a pain that he couldn't get rid off unless they became Friends.
" Excuse me." He spoke to the girl who still hadn't given her name yet. " This is my Friend, you look like you could use someone to talk to. Its not good to let emotions build up inside of you. Why don't you start by letting us get to know each other. I would like to at lest know your name. Can you tell me that please?" Ryan asked Mary. He wanted to get to know her. Get to see why she seemed so distant. So alone. Ryan felt bad for her like she had a wall up and didn't let people in. But Ryan wanted to be Friends with her despite how she was treating him.

Terrific, two hormonal kids that think they now how life works but in truth life has funny turns along the way and while most can be compared to your next door neighbour, school prom to graduation, when it comes to having this kind of secret, life delivers huge curve balls that knock you right out the zone. Is that what they were going to imprint on Mary, the life is wonder speech and whatever comes with that? Jeez, she could get that out of cookie and probably save herself some time but hey, she was sitting in a public place.
Eyes rolled to the side slightly, a glare as her lips parted, “You don’t know me, stop thinking like you do because it really creeps me out and second of all, if you knew what I have been through then you wouldn’t want to know, believe me I know! And it’s Fate…ironic huh?” She waved for another large scotch hoping the barman wouldn’t cut her off. Today was an awful day, terrible for her. She was feeling the blues more so than ever and when she felt that down she generally drank and worse, thought about dear old daddy. If she ever got her hands on him, she’d show him the real meaning of punishment.
Won’t find any answers in a bottle of scotch, that was what her college roommate used to say and she was right much to her hideous discomfort as she rotted away in that psych ward thanks to a little imagery courtesy of Fate. It was cruel but she wanted to lash out, she always wants to do something that didn’t involve pity but today was the exception.

Before Ryan made to talk to her, the woman he was with seemed to be a little off, or offended for some reason. Rebekah wasn't sure why, other than the fact she had walked up, put her arms around Ryan in a hug. Maybe the woman wasn't used to such open affection, but Rebekah didn't care. She loved Ryan, he was close to her, like a brother, as it has been mentioned before, and she wasn't about to change the way she was around him because some woman didn't like it.
She wanted to ask her what the problem was, but she didn't want to cause a scene either. She would leave it be for now. Instead she turned her attention back to Ryan.
When Ryan said he knew the sweet voice, Rebekah blushed slightly, yes, even her brother figure could make her blush with the things he said. "Yes it's me Ryan" she said, as she bit down on her bottom lip slightly, but kept her arms around him in the hug she was giving him. She laughed when he questioned her age and the fact she was too young to be in a bar. She was, but then so was he, at least as far as she was sure, the age for being in a bar in any State was twenty one, and Ryan was only nineteen. But she laughed anyway, but before she could say anything, he had stood up and gave her a big hug. It did make her feel really good and as such she hugged him right back.
Then she answered his question "Well I'm not here to drink, if that's what you're worried about" she said with a grin. "I need to talk to you about something" she added, and the smile she had on her face wasn't so glowing anymore. Because what she had to tell him was bad, and not only was it a worry to her, she knew it was going to either worry or anger him, or probably even both. He then went on about being sorry he hadn't seen her in a while. She understood, she knew he had a busy life and other things going on. It wasn't easy for them to stay in touch when he was in New York and she had been living in Costa Verde.
"It's okay, really, I understand, but what I've got to say to you Ryan, I don't think you're going to like it" she said sadly, as Ryan then introduced her to the woman who seemed to have a clear problem about the two of them and their open affection. Again Rebekah didn't care, and if need be she'd say something to her. But again, she kept quiet as Ryan spoke to her. Rebekah faced her and smiled and gave her a gentle wave. "Hi, Rebekah here" she said, and smiled even though she so wanted to push her down or slap her or something. She would have followed it with a 'nice to meet you' line, but at the moment, she wasn't so sure it was nice to meet her.
When the woman answered Ryan, she wasn't very pleasant at all, in fact Rebekah though she was down right rude. She couldn't hold herself back, keeping her arm protectively around Ryan's waist, she gave the woman a half smile, "Listen Fate, it's not nice to speak to people in such a way, what's wrong with you? From what I can see, Ryan here has only been nice to you, what gives you the right to treat him like that? You wont get or make many friends with an attitude like that" she finished, as she sighed, she didn't raise her voice, just said it quite firmly. Okay so Ryan was the protective one out of the two, well he was protective of Rebekah, but Rebekah found in situations like this, she was just as protective of Ryan.
Ryan might say she shouldn't have retaliated, but people like that really annoy Rebekah, busy going on about them not knowing her, she didn't know them. Really it was all just wrong. Then Rebekah realised why she was there, and the way the woman had spoken to her, and the fact she was scared out of her mind that something was going to go wrong again, she began to cry. Even Henry's voice in the background couldn't stop the tears from falling this time. She was with Ryan, her 'brother' and she knew she could cry with him, because she knew he wouldn't think any less of her for it.

Ryan listened to Mary say that he didn't know her and he was actually creeping her out. (Had i become a weird creepy guy who it seemed to be hitting on an older women?) Ryan thought to himself. He was the complete opposite of that. If he wanted to hit on a girl it would be with for one his own age. And it wouldn't be in a bar for that matter. Ryan felt the coldness of Marys stair witch sent shivers down his spine. Not because he feared her or what she would do to him. But he felt a deep lonesomeness and sadness within her. (She hates me nothing i could do about that.) Ryan thought to himself. Mary then stated that he didn't know her and wouldn't want to know about her. She preceded to order another drink.
" How would you know what i would like to know. I truly want to help you, you seem troubled. You know the drinks will only numb the pain. In the mourning the problems that caused you to bye them in the first place will still be there. Hunting you while you puke over a toilet. Suit yourself. To each is own." Ryan told her. " I wont pry into your life but know that there are people out there that could help you. If not me then someone else. Have faith in others and yourself." Ryan told the women. Ryan didn't want her to get hostile or feel like she was being hit on or insulted. Ryan understood that no words are sometimes better then words of sympathy.
Ray herd Becka's laugh and felt like it was old times again. He had missed hearing the laugh of hers. It was so sweet and cute.Ryan laughed a little to remembering there past. When She was hugging him he felt like she had grown taller. She used to hug him all the time but now she could Attila get a good tight squeeze. " Have you been drinking your milk? You've grown so much since i last saw you. But that face never changes you always looked that way since you were little. So cute you were back then. " He laughed. " Your even cuter now though, got a boy friend yet?" Ryan asked her. She had told him she liked some guy she meet before but moving so much Rebekah didn't seem to settle down on one. Ryan always was trying to hook her up with his Friends younger brothers or cuisines. He apparently knew alto of people with them. Ryan just wanted her to have someone special to shear her thoughts and feelings with. Ryan always was short on time so he wanted to make sure she was happy even when he wasn't there.
She told him that she wasn't here to drink but to tell him something that he might not like. Something bad. Ryan's face looked confused as he saw Rebekah's smile was gone. This seemed serious. " You can tell me anything. You know that." He said trying to comfort her. To get her to tell him. "Whats on your mind? " Ryan asked her. He felt like she needed to get something out. Something that was eating her inside. Ryan couldn't help but feel bad for her. " Its ok tell me. What happened?" Ryan asked putting his hand on her shoulder for support.
Around the same time Rebekah lashed out on Mary saying that Ryan was trying to help her and she didn't have to be rude. " Shhh shhh. " Ryan told her. " Don't get into fights especially over me. We don't know why that girl wants to be left alone. Her reasoners are most likely personal. Lets leave her alone. If she wants to open up then......" He told Rebecka loud enough for Mary to here. " Shes welcome to." He emphases the last part. Ryan didn't want Rebekah fighting. " Be nice normally people come to the bars to drink because there feeling a certain way. We cant help her but we can offer are kindness to her. Hopefully that alone will be enough to help. " Ryan lectured Rebeca.
Ryan then saw her start to cry. He without a thought came up to her. He gave her a hug. " Come on don't cry whats the matter? " He asked her rubbing her back as to make her feel better. " Lets get a booth. " He said as he guided her tweeds one. He sat her down. Holding her hands he sat on the other side. " Now tell me whats got you this upset. Anything you need i will do you know that. You can call me anytime and i will be there. I hate seeing you this way. " Ryan told her.

A simple and quiet drink, that was all she came into this bar for and okay she had a plural amount of drinks but today was a slow and needless to say terrible day. She hated herself, the way she acted around men, the way she used them for money, it was all sluttish and worthless. Mary ran a finger over the rim of her glass as she received the lecture from both of them, feeling as if she should be getting paid to listen to this from some kids and to be honest, who the hell did they think they were? She didn’t come in here to be lectured or ganged up against; she came in for a drink and nothing else.
She closed her eyes and sighed as the girl started to cry, her eyes almost rolling back into her as she felt like a total cow right now. Mary didn’t like being like this, mean and closed off but after her childhood, the lack of any meaningful relationships and the fact that her father was still out there somewhere, it was sickening. Fate stood up and sighed, tempted just to go across and butt into what obviously was a private situation. No she wasn’t going to do that, she wasn’t going to interfere and end up dragging herself into something that really would add to her problems.
Mary started for the door and was inches from just leaving when she paused, damn it, her conscience wouldn’t let her leave. She looked up at the ceiling and sighed, almost asking telepathically what the man upstairs was punishing her for. Fate turned around and started back to the booth those two had recently occupied and she sighed, “Look, I’m sorry ok…I didn’t mean to upset anyone I just…I’m lost ok? Just…don’t get all upset over me, believe me I’m not worth it so I’ll….yeah leave you alone…” She made her apology by butting into them trying to have a private conversation but her heart wouldn’t let her just walk out without at least making sure she tried to make amends.

Rebekah had been laughing and smiling and laughed some more as Ryan went on about how much she'd grown, had she been drinking milk and how cute she was when she was younger and how cute she still looked now. He always said the sweetest things only a brother could and Rebekah loved Ryan for it. "Yes I've been drinking my milk Ryan and lots of it" she replied and hugged him some more, almost squeezing the life out of him. It was just so good to be back in his company again. "As for being cute, you know I've never believed that but you always say it anyway" she replied, as she blushed ever so slightly.
Then he asked the question if she had a boyfriend. Oh the stories she could tell about that. James who had treated her almost like a prince and broke her virginity and then broke her heart by disappearing on her. Then there was that English guy Wes. He just seemed to disappear too and never contacted her again. Rebekah was beginning to think that there was something deeply wrong with her. However she wasn't going to voice those concerns to Ryan, what she had to tell him was bad enough without adding that to the mix as well.
"A couple who didn't really last, not worth mentioning, on my own again Ryan as always" she explained as she sighed, and the smile dropped from her face ever so slightly.
When Ryan got all comforting and supportive asking her what was wrong and being kind, it just made her feel even worse. Not in a bad sense per say, just that when you're upset over something and somebody is being overly kind, you usually get all the more upset and cry because they're being so kind. That was how Rebekah was feeling right at that moment. Already feeling her lips trembling as she desperately tried to hold back the tears already she said, "I want to tell Ry, that's why I came all this way to see you, but I want to tell you somewhere not everybody will be hear" she said. She wasn't even referring to Fate when she said that, she was referring to everybody else who was around the bar.
Of course when she had lashed out at Fate for having a go at Ryan, he in turn then told her off which she had half expected, after all it wasn't like Ryan needed Rebekah to fight his battles for him, but when it came to Ryan, Rebekah simply couldn't see anybody saying anything wrong against him, and of course she had just seen red. However Ryan telling her off made her instantly calm right down and even though she couldn't raise a smile considering how she was feeling over and above the whole Fate thing, she at least nodded her head. "Yeah you're right, sorry" she sort of mumbled.
However, that was the final straw and of course the tears had come, unable to hold them back any longer. Of course Ryan gave her a hug and began rubbing her back, which was comforting of course, but made her cry all the more ironic as it sounded. "I'm scared Ry, I'm really scared" she managed to say between her sobs when he had asked her once more what was wrong. He then took her to a booth and held her hands across the table and asked her once more what was wrong.
She was just about to start her outburst when the woman Fate who she had seen walking toward the door, changed her mind and instead came toward where she and Ryan were sitting. Rebekah really hoped she wasn't going to say anything off again, because Rebekah couldn't handle it, not now. She wasn't in any fit state to handle it.
Rebekah still crying, but able to speak a little better, gave the woman a weak smile, "Apology accepted and I'm sorry too, but honestly, I'm not upset over you, I'm upset over something else, you're welcome to listen to what I have to tell Ryan" Rebekah said softly and sadly, not wanting to start the conversation until she found out if Fate was going to stay or not. She didn't want to start telling Ryan and then have Fate say she wouldn't mind hearing what the problem was, because she couldn't go through the whole thing twice, telling it all once was going to be bad enough. Then Rebekah began to cry again. It was hopeless trying to keep the tears back now she was in Ryan's company.
She just hoped she would be able to keep it together, having lost her parents at a very young age, and then be shipped from foster family to foster family who couldn't cope with her ability and then finding the perfect foster family only to have them murdered, didn't make for an easy life. It was the reason why she was grateful to have Ryan in her life, he meant the world to her, and she didn't know what she would do if she ever lost him.

It had seemed that the women Mary was about to leave. However she turned around like she was maybe second guessing herself or came to the realization that Ryan and Rebekah were truly good people and only wanted to help. Maybe she had felt like Rebekah's crying and current state was her fault. What ever the case Ryan was happy she came to apologize tweeds Rebekah. It was the first nice words he had herd her say. Maybe she just puts up a guard tweeds people she doesn't know. Ryan sensed there was good in her. Mary had said something about her being lost. " Lost?" Ryan repeated confused. Did she need help after all. Ryan tried to get these thoughts out of his head. He couldn't help her if she didn't want it, He had to learn how to mind his own business and not to butt in on others lives. " I'm sorry, forget it." Ryan then said. Though he was feeling another way he told her what she would want to hear.
Turning tweeds Rebeca he could see that she was in pain. Her tears kept coming and with each tear drop Ryan felt like he was being stabbed with a knife. The pain he felt in his hart for Rebeca could not be explained. He was wondering why she was so upset. What could be so awful that she didn't want to tell him. Ryan hated waiting like this. He hated not knowing what happened to her and what she had been threw. He hated not being there for her when she needed him. Ryan didn't know what to do. He let himself go. His control over his abilities were slowly fading away as he grew more and more anxious to here what Rebekah had to say. He slowly relaxed his senses which he had been suppressing.
Now he could hear her tears fall and splash agents his hands. His eyes grew watery. He held back not wanting to cry but feeling like he could. He didn't want Rebekah to see Ryan act venerable. He had to be the strong brotherly type figure in her life. Rebekah was the one reason that could actually force his eyes to tear. There bond was even stronger then the one Ryan had with his mother. The two actually understood each other and were able to share everything with each other. Or so Ryan thought. This had to be something unspeakably bad if Rebekah was this nervous to tell him. Ryan knew no words of comfort. No jesters that could help her in this time of need. He just simply gave her a big tight hug. He put his head on her shoulder. " Tell me." He whispered into her ear. " Everything will be OK. " He told her continuing to whisper.
Then Ryan backed away from her and smiled. He nodded as if to say that it was all OK and everything was going to work out. Ryan wanted to know. Had she done something to someone? Has her ability been noticed? What would she do now? What would Ryan do? It was all to much to think about. Ryan couldn't loose Rebekah. He just couldn't bear the thought of it. Ryan's senses started to progress. He was losing control over them but tried to make them stay in check. Last time they got out of control he had lost all sense of self and it was like he was trapped in a black room. His body acted without thought and conciseness. He became what he had feared. A villain.
Ryan felt Rebekah's worm breath, his sense of touch was increasing. Ryan started to get enhanced visions looking at her tears drop as they made the sounds of a person banging on a door. Rebekah's hart rate was increasing Ryan tried to block it out. " Calm down Bex." Ryan told his friend. He knew she was scared.He felt powerless to help her yet his powers were having a malfunction due to his need to help her. He had to know. He had to make things right. Ryan waited on edge for Rebekah to tell them.

Mary didn’t really want to get involved with a personally matter which clearly had nothing to do with her and really she would much rather drown her sorrows than add to her problems but she had been snappy and harsh earlier and really, she could do with a distraction for a while so she thought what the hell and stood there but remained cautiously quiet because really she didn’t want to seem prying, this wasn’t her deal, this was theirs and she was just a guest at this discussion. She didn’t want to get too close to them, again something was wrong and it didn’t feel good, the crying and now the serious concern from the male, it was really not good signs but she had little information to go on. What could she say or do? She really had a lack of confidence when it came to dealing with kids but today she firmly believe that was going to be tested to the limit.

Rebekah hated holding out on Ryan so long about telling him what was wrong, but with Fate and Rebekah herself being as upset as she was about it all, it was very difficult to begin putting it all into words. Of course the longer she would take to tell Ryan her problem the more upset and irritated he would get. He ended up putting his head on her shoulder and whispering that she could tell him. Then he told her to calm down. With Fate standing about now, even though she hadn't said whether she was going to stay and listen or not, Rebekah didn't think it fair to keep Ryan waiting any longer, she took a deep breath, and wiped her eyes before going into her explanation.
"You're not going to like this" she repeated before she continued. "Since I moved to Costa Verde I've been getting attacked, more than once and I'm sure by the same people" Rebekah began, finally she had begun to tell Ryan, and she was finding it not so difficult after all.
She didn't him to get the wrong idea about the attacks, so she knew she would have to tell him how it all started. She sighed, and looked from Fate to Ryan before continuing.
"The first attacked happened back in October, I was really scared, so scared my ability wouldn't work and I couldn't get free from the guy who was holding me" Rebekah said and then I met this guy called Henry, who came to help, and with the distraction I somehow managed to get my power back and I phased him into the wall and left him there" Rebekah finished explaining away the first part of her story, the reason how it had all started. She looked down at her feet, she wasn't proud of killing that person, but Henry told her it was self defense and she had to keep believing that.
"I'm not proud of what I done" she added, as she looked up at Ryan for a second and then back down at her feet again. She had done something bad and it was quite possible Ryan wouldn't think of her in the same way again. "But it started a snowball of attacks" she added, "Someone must have seen what I done" she finished and by this point the tears were falling down again and she was shaking. She hated getting upset, especially after Henry said he couldn't cope with it, but having to relive all these attacks weren't going to make her the happiest person in the world.
