GARTH THARSON ✸ 012-012-6661

Hi.
It's Cassandra. I got your number from... Well, it doesn't matter. I just wanted to talk. If that's ok for you. Otherwise, you don't even have to answer. I'll understand. Be  careful out there, Prince Garth.

Well, I think I have proven that my hability to make decision is not perfect.
So, good idea or not, it may be better than pretending that nothing happened. Unless that's what your want. Is it ?

Yeah, kinda figured that. Maybe we could grab a coffee or something ? You can pick the place. Let's say tomorrow, around 6PM ? I will have to take my shift later,
but we'll have some time to talk.

Oh. Huh. I guess we could also talk here ? It's kinda, well I'm not used to, but yeah, if it's more convenient for you. No pressure, right ?

Ok. Last problem, my shift should normally end around 2AM or so. Benefits of being Wonder Girl. Is it too late for you ? I just think that I owe you an explanation. And more important, I am ready to give it.

If I could, I would be happy to come, but I have a test tomorrow and doubt that I'd be able to study AND do a proper, well I was going to say apology but we both know that it's more than that. Even if things went a little crazier after, I did not forget that I owe you my life. Maybe truth will help and repay a part of this debt.

Does Christmas exist in Atlantis ? I've no idea, but I guess it doesn't cost me anything to wish you a Merry Christmas, now that I've find my phone ! I hope Humans didn't eat to much salmon during the last days. Next time we see each other, I'll have some whisky bottle for you !

Hello Garth.
I am doing great, thank you for asking. How are u? Still mad I see. I am sorry you know. You caught me off guard and I reacted. Badly. Perks of being human.
Anyway, how are things in Atlantis ?

I'm sorry. To harm or disappoint you was never my intention. You just came on too strong.
I wil definitely like some quiet, here things are crazy...I can't even meditate properly.  

I guess it is true. People tend to do weird things when cornered.

you kinda did.

Look Garth, you know I didn't mean it like that. I appreciate you being worried for me.

I apologized already. I know I was not... on my best behavior. What more do you want ?

Oh come one. You're being difficult. Don't be like that. Pretty please ? I don't want to fight with you, not now.

Good. We are doing okay... I think. Everyone is dealing with it a different way but we are ready.

We'll do our best.

I am scared. Actually no, I am terrified.

Yes I do. I am a member of this team, I have to go. I am not staying home while they are risking their lives. What if something happens ? I will never be able to live with myself.  

What ? Of course not ! It's not like you had a choice anyway.

It won't change anything.

Difference of opinion, I guess. I need to go. I want to go. It does not matter if I am terrified. I need to be here. Perhaps, staying home is what's right for you.  

Just an entire team of super-powered beings. And I don't need protecting.

I do not. Now you are just being mean. You do realize I had a whole life before I met you, right ? I don't need saving.  

Right... now I feel insulted. You have such a lovely way with words.

No but that's not what you just said. I am an asset we all are but I don't need your protection. We already discussed this.. multiples times. I know I am not like the others. I am not physically strong and I can't fight like you guys do. Still, I can take care of myself. Unless you believe that I can't.

So that's a yes.... You believe that I can't protect myself. Why ? Is it because I refuse to use my powers on you ?

"So use your powers but don't use them. Otherwise you are just a dead weight". Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to remember it.

So ... I am a kid. I need supervision. So much better ... You are not the boss of me Garth. Me not using my powers on you has nothing to do with my skills.

Why is it so hard for you to understand ? You. Are. My. Friend. I do not wish to see what's in your head. I can't control what I see. And I always see things that I clearly do not wish to see.

Omg... can you drop it already ? Give me a break for God's sake.
