Make A Memory {Katie}

[katie]

Katie smiled when Will mentioned about doing something together with Jason. She thought it a good idea, after all she was usually either found around Josh or Will, very seldom was she found around Jason and it seemed a shame. Katie had always loved her brothers and always will, for having very little female influences in her life other than her mother, Katie was very much the girl, young woman. "I think that would be a good idea, any ideas what, where and when?" Katie asked in bit of excitement. It would be good to do something together again, it would just be like old days when she was much younger.

When Will started talking about her being busy and getting knocked up next, she nudged him playfully with a shock expression on her face. "Will!" she said in exclamation and then began to laugh. "Somehow I don't think you have to worry about becoming an uncle yet" Katie said with a grin, she knew he was teasing her, but truth was they had only just began their tentative relationship and even then she wasn't sure it was going to go anywhere.

When he started speaking about relationships himself while he was gone Katie found herself laughing again. This was one of the things she loved about Will the most, his humour and ability to joke about pretty much everything. "Well, better than letting it rust eh Will?" she said joking herself, and continuing to laugh. Meaning that it was better to have a few here and there than nothing at all. Although she was surprised because Will was a very handsome man, it was a wonder he didn't have women falling at his feet.

Then he said he had met a few people since he had come home, and nodded her head in agreement when he spoke about his wrigglers as well as laughing again. "Well that's good, so maybe I'll be an auntie some day then after all?" Katie said and laughed and nudged him on the arm playfully again.

When he asked if she and Anthony were dating, she shrugged her shoulders slightly and then sort of laughed, "I guess you could call it that, maybe" she said unsure, because truth was she was unsure of what was happening. Nothing much had really happened as such, not since they had more or less admitted they had feelings for each other. One thing for sure though, if Anthony hurt her, and she didn't think he would since they had been friends first and foremost but if he did hurt her, then she knew Will would have plenty to say on the issue.

One thing more in the world which he loved, was Katie. Sure he had healing, and his family, but she was the only tie he had left to his mother. To which, he hadn't really had much to do with after he had worked overseas for so long. She was a blast to hang out with, she was open and honest, and she laughed at his jokes. It was a special thing that he never had with anyone else. He hoped, that maybe one day, when he did settle down, he found someone who had her style of humour - just someone who could relax when they were around him. He guessed, that he modeled a lot of girls off her.

But, she laughed, and gave it back to him just as much as he was teasing her. He had to close his eyes and laugh out loud when she teased about him not getting rusty. That had to be the most funnist thing he had heard all day. And, as he rolled himself around on the bed, he had to wipe tears of laughter from his eyes. He had to calm himself down before answering her, "Somehow, Kat... there isn't going to be any little Will's running around. Josh will have kids before I do." There might have been a little sadness in his tone, but he quickly disguised it with a flippant shake of his head.

"You really like him, huh?" Will calmed down, propping his back up against the wall with the pillows on his bed. He wondered if she was just looking for a short term thing, or if it was something that she wanted. He wouldn't be surprised if it was what she wanted, Katie had a tendancy to become a wife, or mother, of sorts. Whether it be in her normal day to day living, or taking care of her brothers. "Because if he hurts you.. you know what I'll do to him..." His face became gravely serious, a type of darker shade washing over his eyes.

[katie]

Katie was laughing so had. Why? Because Will was laughing and Katie always found his laugh very infectious. So the more he laughed, the more she laughed with him. It was good. Laughing was good, and laughing the way they were was brilliant. It totally lifted you and made you feel good about yourself. Katie's stomach was getting sore, and she had tears in her eyes now, but she didn't care, because she was with Will and she was happy.

However, when he stated in what she could only pick up as a sad voice about Josh having kids before he did, she stopped laughing, and smiled at him sadly. "But Will, that technically wouldn't be right, you're the oldest of us all, 'technically' she said again using her fingers for quotation marks, you're the oldest so you should be first" she responded giving him a warmer smile. To be honest Katie didn't really care who made her an auntie first, so long as she became one. She couldn't think of anything better than holding one of her brother's babies in her arms.

Then the conversation turned back to her and Anthony. Katie still wasn't completely sure what was happening there. She did like Anthony, she couldn't deny it, but whether he was 'the one' or just a first time boyfriend she really couldn't be sure, but she did like him. "Yeah I do like him, but again, I'm just not sure if it's because we've always been such good friends, or if there really is something more in it. I guess time will tell really" Katie tried to explain with a grin.

Then Will got really serious as he spoke about Anthony hurting her and what he would do to him if he did. She saw the darker look cross upon his face. She liked that Will was so protective of her, and her immediate reaction was to push herself up to lean against the wall like he had done and place her head on his shoulder. It was typical big brother behaviour, and right now at this very moment, she really did feel like his baby sister again.

"I know that Will, and that's why I love you, love all of you so much, you know how to look out for me" she said softly and sighing gently. Okay so maybe someone looking in a window may have thought they were more than just brother and sister, but Katie didn't care. She'd always felt that close to Will and she knew she always would.

[william]

"Pffft, technically..." Will scoffed and rolled his eyes slightly at her, his grin appearing. Technically he would die first, technically he'd be pain the most, technically he'd get married and have kids first. However, it didn't matter what technicality meant - Will just didn't have anything like that coming up in his life. But, he admired her optimisim, even if it was just a 'technical' responce. He was being facetious in his own mind and that made him giggle. "But, who's to say that I'll settle down any time soon?" He concluded scractching the back of his neck as he made himself a little more comfortable.

Motel beds weren't the most comfortable things in the world.

"Besides, you just said it yourself - you like him... so, you very well might possibly be the first in our family to have kids." He didn't know why he was feeling particuarly picky about this subject. He figured it was because he didn't have that someone which he was supposed to. After all, he was looked upon to lead by example. If he didn't have a steady job, or a girl friend, or high pay... then what was he doing? If only his parents could see him now, jobless and miserable. But, the others wouldn't have seen him like this, Katie could see through anything. Even his fake smiles.

"I know that Will, and that's why I love you, love all of you so much, you know how to look out for me."

"Good, you just remind him that..." Will added, as she positioned herself as he had against the wall, and placed her head on his shoulder. Instinctively he reached up and patted her head, kissing her hair momentarily before turning his head back at the muted tv.

"So... we've never really talked about your powers?" Will suddenly asked keeping his eyes unfocused on the new images flashing on the idiot box. "I mean, I know you have some, but what can you actually do?"

[katie]

"Technically" she repeated again, but followed it through with a laugh. It didn't matter when Will got settled or had a family to Katie, although she still assumed that by nature he'd be the first, but she knew that it didn't always work out like that. "Well technically" she started again beginning to like that word, "It doesn't matter when you settle down, or if you ever, so long as you're happy and healthy" Katie said with passion in her voice. For all she might joke with Will, all she really cared about was Will being happy and healthy. If he had happiness and health, then he pretty much had everything.

Now it was Katie's turn to mock and go "Pfft" she doubted very much she'd be first, Anthony wasn't like that anyway. Certainly not to the extent of having kids in the near future anyway. "I doubt very much I'll be first Will, unless it's like five or more years from now and none of the rest of you have got in first by then" Katie said with a laugh. Not that she didn't think she'd be a good mom, not that she didn't want to be a mom, she did, but well Anthony seemed to be very old fashioned about his ideas and she just simply couldn't see anything like that happening any time too soon.

"Oh, don't worry I'll remind him" Katie said settling onto his shoulder more, as he lifted his hand up to pat her head and kiss her hair, which she sighed gently. She liked that affection she got from Will. Will now turned the conversation to her powers, because they had never really spoken about them before. She realised this was true, they hadn't spoken about her powers and ability before.

"Well I have the ability to go invisible" she started, "It's actually quite fun, can you imagine the things you can do with that ability?" she continued sounding excited. "Like cheat at playing cards, I can go around invisible and then whisper into your ear what cards everybody has" she said with a laugh. "Sometimes I might be right beside you and suddenly you don't see me" she added as she closed her eyes, and made herself invisible to Will, he would know she was still lying there with her head on his shoulder, because he would feel her, he just wouldn't see her.

[william]

Katie's attempts to try and convince him about the kid comment was making him smile and widely at that. He didn't think he was going to have kids, and couldn't really picture himself as a father - at least, as an Uncle he could give the screaming, pooping and farting baby back to the mother. A flash of a nightmare ran before his eyes, as he was swamped with a mountain of pooey nappies and babies crawling around the floor, screaming and putting dirty hands on the white mink rug of his mansion. Shruddering, Will tried not to imagine it.

However, Katie talked about her power. Being able to turn invisible, "That's a pretty cool gift," William commented with a small smile, and then laughed as she joked about cheating at poker. Will rubbed his chin and pondered that possiblity for a moment, "True!" He liked that idea more so than anything else he's heard that entire day. For a split second, Will turned his head away as she concluded with 'now you see me, now you don't' and as he brought his attention back to her, she was gone.

At first he thought she had upped and left, but as he could feel some heat pressing down on his shoulder, he knew she was still there. "Neat party trick," Will chuckled, patting her on her head - or he hoped it was her head. He thought of something he could show her - but nothing sprang to mind. Truth be told, he didn't even know if she knew what he could do, sure the whole family knew he was happy healing people, but did they know he used his powers to do it?

[katie]

As the conversation dropped from baby making which Katie was in a way quite glad of, certainly when it got turned to her and Anthony, she noticed Will smile. Which was good. She preferred Will to be happy and smiling. If he was happy then she was happy. Katie wasn't thinking she'd never be a mother, maybe one day she would be, but she just couldn't see it happening any time soon.

Katie grinned, "Yeah it can come in quite handy" Katie said referring to Will saying she had a cool gift. She hadn't cheated at poker of course, she just said that as a reference to what cool things you could do with having a power such as invisibility.

"Yeah, not a bad trick at all huh?" she asked with a grin, and laughed when she felt him pat her head, the head which he wouldn't be able to see. He must have just been feeling his way to do that. Which was kind of funny. Switching off her invisibility and returning to normal she lifted her head from his shoulder. "Josh has Camouflage, which is kinda similar to mine, but still different, I think that's cool" Katie said grinning.

She then began to wonder more about Will's ability. Oh she knew he had healing, at least she was certain that was the ability he had. She just hadn't seen it in use. "So how about you? Healing you have if I remember rightly? Do you get to use it often?" she asked, as she leaned her head back down on his shoulder again. She was perfectly happy with Will, just so happy he was back again.

[william]

"No, that's a pretty cool one." Will laughed agreeing that her ability was an awesome trick. Although, as she proceeded to talk about Josh's ability, he nodded. It was kind of cool that the twins had similar but different abilities, at least, he thought it was pretty cool. They would be a pair to be wreckoned with, Will thought with a small smile. He wasn't surprised that she was going to ask about his own, after all that's where the conversation was heading, and he was more then happy to shed light on his gift.

"Yeah healing," He gently snorted, it was obvious to everyone just what his power would be. Seeing as he's dedicated almost all his life to helping to save lives, it was just him and his power suited the type of person he was. "I got to use it a lot, when I was over in Asia," Will answered, his smile growing wider as he thought about it. "I saved every life that was so close to death. I got to take away their pain, their anguish, and their doubt, I gave hope to their families for a new beginning. The only draw back is, when I heal them - all the bad things that I take out, gets transferred into me." Will's smile faded slightly, as he remembered just how sick himself, he got after the outburst of the flu epidemic - although his sickness didn't last even a quarter of what it would take to get out of one's system, he still crashed harder then he had ever crashed before.

But such thoughts he needed to try and steer clear of, and perked himself up with a bright smile. "All I have to do now, is get a job at the Hospital and I'll be set!"

[katie]

Katie grinned as Will agreed that her power was pretty cool, and smiled again when he agreed that Josh also had a cool ability. Katie always thought it was brilliant they had similar abilities but still different. Katie did wonder if her twin had been another girl like herself, like an identical twin, if that twin would have had Invisibility like her, or if they'd still have had Camouflage. Although she'd never find out, although it didn't bother Katie being the only girl in the siblings, she loved having brothers.

Katie nodded her head when Will agreed his power was healing, she thought it was that. But she didn't know enough about it. So she listened carefully as Will spoke more about his ability. There was no denying his ability was brilliant and that it could do good, but it saddened Katie to hear that what he healed from others had to go somewhere and of course he was the one to get their problems.

"It seems so bad, for being such a good thing to have" Katie said in an endearing voice, as she touched is arm with her hand giving it a gentle squeeze. "I'll have to make sure I never get ill, I'd never want you to help me, just so you felt sick yourself" Katie said softly with a sad smile. The thought of Will being sick was a difficult thing for Katie to comprehend, yet she knew he would have to get sick at some point in his life, didn't everybody?

However, as Will's mood changed slightly, so did Katie's and she grinned when he spoke about finding himself a job at the hospital. "That sounds like a good idea to me" Katie agreed nodding her head. It would give him something to do and he'd be helping others at the same time. It was a great thing for Will she thought. "I do believe the hospital would be a better place with you working there" Katie added, grinning, and nudging him playfully again. She began to wonder how she coped for the time he was gone, because now he was back, she wasn't sure she could cope with him being gone again.

[william]

Her sentiments were sweet, as they always were. Getting sick wasn't just the only thing he wouldn't want her to endure, but if ever there was mental pain - he would feel it if ever she wanted him to help her. But, as she squeezed his arm, he rested his forehead against her head. "I hope it'd never come down to that... but at least you have me to help you, if it did." His soothing voice echoed through his own mind. It only just dawned on him for frightened he would be, if Katie had a horrible illness, cancer was the worst he had come by. It took him days to recover himself after healing a person. But he was sure that it wouldn't have come down to that, Katie was fit, healthy and happy.

Nothing was going to happen to her.

"Yeah," Will shifted slightly, lifting his head off hers and sitting up a little straighter. "I just have to get in there I guess. I mean, I know that hospitals are always looking for doctors and nurses, but at the moment I'd just settle for being the 'happy clown'." Will smiled slightly, thinking about all the little kids he could make laugh as he helped them. "Y'know... that's not a bad idea..." He surprised himself, and his eyes became a little vacant as he thought about being the clown that went around to patients to cheer them up, talk to them and heal them without them even knowing.

And, he would get paid for it.

Will suddenly stood up off his bed and placed his hands on his hips with the widest smile on his face he laughed. "Oh my god, that's the best brain wave I've had in weeks!"

[katie]

Katie could only smile when Will put his forehead against her head and said he hoped that she would never be ill enough that he would have to heal her and be sick himself. However, even if Katie was ill, she still wouldn't ask Will to heal her, she couldn't do that to him, she would just go to the doctors or hospital and let them sort it out the old fashioned way. His ability was amazing, but she couldn't let him use it on her, not when she was aware of it at least. However Katie didn't think she would have to worry about it anyway, because she was very fit and healthy and not likely to get sick any time soon.

Katie grinned as Will began to speak some more about the Hospital and getting in there. She truly did think it would be one of the best things he could do, be able to heal people without them even realising it. It truly would be amazing, but again the thought of Will being sick just because he had to heal others was very sad. The only good thing about his power is that he did recover which was just as well, because if he didn't then she was pretty sure she wouldn't have Will in her life now and that would be truly sad.

"I think it would be perfect for you" Katie replied when he said that it wasn't such a bad idea and when he then stood up off the bed with his hands on his hips and his wide smile on his face saying that he had just had the best brain wave in weeks Katie couldn't help but feel really happy for him. It was good to see him with such a warm smile on his face, and all the love Katie had for her elder brother came rushing to the fore.

"Well that's simply wonderful William, and it's so good to see you so happy" she replied, as she stood up off the bed and without thinking wrapped her arms around him in a hug. Katie loved giving hugs at the best of times, she was a very affectionate girl toward all her brothers, but she had always been the closest to Will, and his hugs were simply amazing.
