"Why would I lie about something like that?"
Kyle says completely seriously.
"Well, just checking. Maybe you're just really shit at making jokes or something."
She sighs, taking off her bonnet and putting it in her lap. She's got a buzz cut, you immediately notice.
"But you
are serious. That's... well. I'm not really sure what to say. Congratulations? Condolences? I dunno. I guess more like condolences if your power is to black out and kill people."
Selina nods and starts to get stuff for one last sandwich for the new comer, getting some juice as well if there is any. When she is done and washing the knife, she stares at her reflection in the blade.
It was almost like she was in a daze, staring at herself reflected in the metal. After a minute or two, the reflection slowly winked. The shock on Selina's face was all too plain as she dropped the knife and fell backwards to the floor in shock as it rattled in the sink.
Lynn slowly turns her head to examine you on the ground.
"Aw, christ. You're not having some kind of seizure, are you?" she asks, preparing to get up.
She examines her body for exactly what is wrong. She could at least help the doctors a little bit.
You're fairly sure it hurts. There is pain in a lot of places and it hurts if you poke yourself in certain spots. This is what the doctors have already established. You're pretty sure some bones are at the very least fractured, though you wouldn't be able to say which ones exactly, at least not to the point of the indication being useful. Besides, you've got an x-ray scheduled in a bit, so you just wait for that and cooperate to the best of your ability, getting bombarded with some radiation for your trouble. You wonder if they'll tell you what the trouble is.
In the later hours of the night, a man visits you. He says he's your father, though you can't say you particularly remember much about him. Looks a little familiar, but that's about it.
