Bad Wounds

The Strouse family followed.

"Then let's go to the mess hall." Helen said, and Audrey followed suit.

Becca, Lexi, Rosie, and Matt nodded.

"So!" Helen said loudly "Anyone hungry?"

Matt punched the table, "Can we stop?"

Audrey nodded, "Thanks to Rosie, warning me before Ttam came."
Helen gave Audrey an amused look.

Matt didn't like where this conversation was going. Sencing her brother's anger, Becca changed the subject, "Is every one okay?"

"Yeah, if they did. I don't know if i could get you off my back." Audrey said laughing.

"Simple solution." Helen spoke up "Just give her about 100 volts, she'd be knocked out for about five minutes."

ROsie smiled, "At least my eyes didn't change colors,"
Matt sighed and punched his little sister.

Helen looked at Audrey quizzically and she mouthed 'long story'

"Rosie you jumped on my back, i count that as freaking." Audrey said with a grin.

"I did not freak," Rosie said.
"It's just hard sometimes, with him gone," Matt said.
"Are we talking about Louis now?"

"Yes. I did, I made Rosie freak and then, you freaked." Audrey said

Helen looked at Audrey "I don't even want to know what made her freak."

"It wasn't," Matt said.

"This is all my fault." Audrey said.

Helen didn't know if that was actually true or not so she stayed silent

Becca nodded and so did Lexi and Rosie. Matt shrugged, he didn't know anymore.

Audrey was done venting in the water and walked in. "Hey, is everyone okay?" she asked

Helen looked at Audrey, "Hey."

Matt felt like he needed to leave now. He hated the constant stares...it just made him so angry sometimes. But he didn't show it, he just ran his hand down his hair and sat on a stool.

Helen watched Matt carefully, afraid he might turn Gaea again.

Becca nodded, "Exactly,"
Matt stood up carefully and looked around.

"Thats smart." she said

Becca shrugged, "Thats why I don;t use my powers." Matt nudged her.

"Oh my god." She said "my father had never taken control of me."

Becca sighed, "It's something we get sometimes. We use our powers too much and the Gaea takes over," Matt held his head in his face, "What did I do?"

" Well, what happened down there? Would anyone like to explain?" She asked

Matt sat up, "Fine,"
