CODY CHRISTIAN

[ofviolentdeath]

"I need to make a few phone calls, okay? I'm going to try to get your medical records so I can get you the help you need and deserve, okay? I won't let him keep hurting you."

He knew he needed to call Eli first and foremost, get a medical workup going, and see what they could do from there. He'd talk to Reece too, see what therapists she had for the kids in her care and cross reference those against anyone Eli had in mind.

In truth, Thrasos had never agreed with Daniel's mother keeping him with his current therapist after she had married the man, but she had primary custody and his opposition had been overruled, so to speak. It had felt like a conflict of interest to him but this was so much worse than he had even imagined.

"I'll keep you safe."

Daniel had come apart completely, tears streaming down his face while he just stared blankly, broken and shellshocked, the look in his eyes and the panicked pattern of his breathing giving away the horrific turmoil playing out inside his head.

Even his dad squeezing his hands didn't really ground him in it at all, but Daniel was thankful amongst all the horror nonetheless.

He was at least still lucid enough for Thras's words to register, promising him that his ordeal was over and he never had to even face that monster or his mother again if that was what he wanted.

Nodding in acknowledgement, Daniel tried to find a grateful smile, but it wouldn't come, though he hoped his dad understood that he appreciated being believed and protected after having been subjected to years of physical and mental torture behind closed doors at his mother's house.

"I might need an extra pair of eyes or two to help read through some stuff. Depends on what languages the books are written in and what all ones you know." Bells knew a few, it had been important for some of the spellbooks she had had access to when she was younger. Plus, it was just plain fun to know more than one language and to be able to pull them out when people were not expecting them. "Aunt Ko's not so bad these days. Remarried, has a few more kids. A lot more stable from what mom and Lyri have told me. Well, Lyri more than my mother." It had been something Lyri had talked about a fair amount when she had been teaching Bells and Evelyn to dance.

Bells grinned at that, knowing immediately that Dimitri would be the weak link in that. "I think I'll wait until there's some furnishing in there. Mostly because I don't feel like sitting on the floor."

"Please let me be there the first time you use that phrase on him. I need to see his reaction," she cackled, the idea alone hilarious. She doubted Creedance would even know how to respond and, dammit all, she wanted that on video.

"I mean, I still wouldn't have been making the waffles, just signing the paychecks. He does work the line from time to time though so I can see why he wouldn't want to give it up so easily." She was also pretty sure he was leaving it to his daughter when he did decide to retire and that was something Bells couldn't fault him on either.

"You know I'm always here to help if you need me. Might not have the same skill set but I do have a can-do attitude." Bells was beyond correct in her belief that Jai was worth it. Dimitri had decided that all on his own the first time he met him. He was just a kid and his entire situation was unfair. If anyone deserved more time it was him. "Yikes. I think I would have been incredibly upset if someone had invited someone to my wedding that I didn't want there too though. Unless that person was there with a vision from the future and wanted to stop it, because..." Dimitri only sort of meant that. Without that relationship he wouldn't be a father and he wouldn't take that back for anything. "I'm trying to think of anyone who was around then that would've thrown off the vibes. Konis, maybe?"

Dimitri shrugged. "I'd take you there now but short of Creedance's beautiful work all we've got going is a mattress on the floor. He might want me to wait until we've furnished the place a little. But you are his mom, he might make an exception for you."

Nodding at that, Dimitri could only agree. "For myself and my future."

"Too bad, he's a stepdaddy now." With a laugh, Dimitri couldn't help himself. Silas was a grown man and had already made it clear that all he wanted was for his dad to be happy, he wasn't seeking a second parent when he already had one out in the wild. "Well, not technically but I'm never letting that man go."

"You'll enjoy it more if he never gives it up, trust me. The waffles will always taste better when you're not responsible for making them. If only the whole place existed in a bubble so it would never change."

"That feels a little excessive but it also leads me to an interesting question for the sake of science. Would the same be true if I was shifted? Like, full on fluff ball mode? Because I am very fluffy with my hybridization." Honestly, Gen had seen pictures of herself shifted and she had to admit, she wanted to pet herself. "Then get out of your own head and don't over think it. If you start overthinking, you'll start picking and then you run the risk of fucking shit up before it even gets anywhere and I'd rather see you have a chance to be happy with someone. Especially someone who's touch doesn't make you want to peel your own face off." Not that Genesis took offense to the sentiment, no, she understood a person being touch averse because her own brother was the same way. For different reasons, sure, but still. "It is what it is." Dwelling on it wouldn't change things (not that it stopped her when she was alone). "Oooh, that sounds like a good time. I'd be so fucking down for that."

"If you touched me platonically right now I'd want to peel my face off," Izzy corrected, staring her down. "Actually I'd probably fake like I was okay until I got home and take the hottest shower known to man and feel bad for the rest of the night that that was my reaction." That was a little more honest than he'd meant to be but it was real. "You're right I'm all in my head," he groaned. His good mood wasn't entirely gone but he had somehow spiraled into a weird spot. "I just want to enjoy it. I want him to enjoy it. He deserves to kiss someone because he wants to and it to just be a normal, regular experience." Izzy frowned and took a long drink from his soda, listening to Genesis talk about the girl she wanted to be with. "No, I get that. That's fair. I just want you to be happy is all. But you're right you definitely can't force anyone to love you." After a few more french fries Izzy looked around and then back at Gen. "You wanna come over to my place and watch a bunch of terrible movies and eat all of Dimitri's baked goods he keeps pawning off on me? It can be a sleepover. We can facetime Finn, see what he's doing."

For Cree - The Lovers, The Moon and Judgment.

[THE LOVERS] - What do they consider to be the "perfect partner", be it romantic, platonic, alterous, etc.? Is there someone like that in their life?

Cree doesn't believe there's any such thing as the perfect partner. He believes everyone has their but if someone's willing to communicate and work through shit with him and they have positive things in common? Well, that goes a long way.

[THE MOON] - If they had to choose one trait to describe themselves, what would it be? Is it a genuine answer, or the illusion/persona they put on for others?

Probably handy. Cree's good with his hands, he's good at fixing things and building things. It's a genuine answer but others would probably say he's creative given that his woodworking is often intricately detailed.

[JUDGMENT] - What was an epiphany/awakening they recently had? Did they realize something that they've been naive to? Did they discover something about themselves? What happened?

That even if he had stayed with his ex, he would have ended up growing bitter and resentful because he and Noah wanted different things in life. A big thing he would have had to give up if he had stayed with Noah was the possibility of kids and, growing up in a large family, Cree grew up wanting to be a parent. He thought it was something he could go without, but now that he's in a position where even the discussion is a possibility has him remembering how big of a deal it is to him.

"Oh, she absolutely will, darlin'. Life sentence at that," he agreed, loving just how badly Dimitri wanted out of his own plans. "Ah, ah, ah. You got us into this mess and that means you get to get us out of it."

"... you're right. She's gonna know and she's gonna put me in horny jail." And tease them both until the end of time or something more ridiculous happened. "You get me out of here right now and I'll let you play with all those pretty ropes I know you like."

"Things have gotten out of hand. Maybe it's time we all slowed down. Took a breath."

"What are you doing here? I thought you went home?"

"In a family full of serial killers, no one really has the right to judge you for what you need to do to literally survive. You don't have a choice. The rest of us did." And, she supposed, still did but she doubted any of them had ever really considered it. "I mean, Britt's son is called the Angel Killer by media and news outlets." Of course, that was more to do with Chance's killings being about the killing itself and not a job, so he had an actual signature. "If she didn't like you, you would have known. I don't think Dominic would have let you in his house if his mom had told him she didn't like you."

"It's one thing to show someone a basic fear and another thing to show someone the thing they're most afraid of so I started warning people when introducing myself so that I wouldn't be armed with that knowledge and they could relax and form their own opinions and trust toward me." It was something he'd become very cautious about, wanting people meant to be his new family to get to know him for who he was and not what his diet consisted of. "I think so? I mean, I hope so. Though I suspect she came to meet me before Dom after his husband sort of cut me down... it's a long story. But all I want is for Atlas' family to accept me."

"It can be a lot, but most of us are going to be more at ease if you're just yourself. The fears warning is smart though." She knew there were some who would panic and blurt their fears at that, but she wasn't one of them. "That makes sense. She mostly lives in Louisiana with Jasper. I'm assuming Lyri liked you well enough?"

"All of the above." Darcy knew that there were some people who would take to him just fine and others who would be wary of him because of how he sustained himself. "It's sort of a mix between how people will respond to me and the things they've been through. I also sort of made a bad impression the first time I met my boyfriend's sister so... I'm working on how I approach people." Darcy had made a world of changes in such a short amount of time. "I have. Just the once though."
