“Stay behind me.” @vidael​

if he was any other kid that'd be a smart plan, would be the best way to keep them both safe. but he's not any other kid, he’s not a normal kid at all. so he's not at all hesitant before stepping directly in front of her, putting himself between her and the man from the lab. she'd tried to save him, now he'd try to return the favor. there’s only a few seconds passing before his hands are raised and fire shoots out. it doesn’t harm the man, just keeps him at a distance. these are warning shots, but he's ready to kill if he has to.

“When will you finally tell me what they're about?” @vidael​

nightmares had plagued him almost every night since she found him, which had led to very little in the way of peaceful sleep for either of them. he hadn’t said anything, really. in his entire time with her he’d barely spoken, only when it felt important. even if he did want to speak more, he wouldn’t know what to say, vocabulary beyond limited. he’d picked up on things from her, from listening to her and working things out through context and further explaining, but he still had the vocabulary of a child who’d spent his entire life locked up in a lab. head shakes gently, shaky hands moving to rub the sleep - and the tears - from his eyes. “bad.” at first it’s all he offers, content in that much. but slowly he comes to the decision to open up more, to truly open up. “lab.”

“you’re home. you’re safe.”  - from angela. @horrorlived​

getting attacked while he was out on his own was always a fear, but he hadn't expected it. he'd grown comfortable here, maybe a little too comfortable. running home to angela had been his first instinct, a few bruises but nothing serious. all he wanted was to feel safe again. so as soon as he’s inside he’s in her arms, trembling and afraid. he's home, and while that may not fix everything at least he's safe.

“  i’m proud of you.  ”   - from angela. @horrorlived​

its something he didn't expect to hear. all he’s done is draw, attempt to write. he’s done nothing worth pride as far as he’s aware — though in the past his papa had shown pride at things that maybe he shouldn’t be striving for. his papas pride had only come with successful use of his power, and he'd only really heard it once or twice - the most prominent of which being when he'd killed someone. this... just doesn’t seem like good reason to be proud in jason’s eyes. “wh— why?”
