You&#39;re an Explosion

Not in the appropriate places. When they're my girlfriend. Otherwise... not scared. Just... uncomfortable? Are you scared of naked men?

...Am I scared of naked men. Oh, you are a cute little lad.

From:

Okay, put it this way. What if there was a tiny animal you thought you'd KILLED and you picked it up and it suddenly turned into NAKED ME?

Because that's what happened in that case.

From:

Do you think I'm a child?

From:

In some ways. I know you're not, logically, but you need protection like a kid does.

From:

...

Why would you think that?

From:

I...

You got hurt before. When I wasn't there. You shouldn't get hurt.

And

I love you.

From:

I've died before--when you weren't there.

I'm still here.

I think you protect your heart. <3

From:

You've--

I love you. I can't let you die. Even if you... end up being still here.

Why do you really give random people bags of cookies?

From:

I'm an Angel of Healing. I don't use my powers any more, but I can't just stand by and do nothing. And cookies help people. I know they do. So I make cookies and give them to people who need them.

From:

That makes sense.

How come you don't use your powers anymore?

From:

I was alive during the Holocaust. When they started the concentration camps I lived in Canada--saftey--but I moved to Poland because I couldn't stay away. It hurt too much to not be there helping people.

I lived in a ghetto before they came for me. They were taking angels into the camps, angels of death and healing mostly. It killed my friends in the camp. It nearly killed me. By the end of the war, I was going to Fall because I couldn't take it any more. I was determined to, but before I could they liberated the camp. Not being able to do that--not being able to Fall--it... broke me. My mind. They had to have a powerful psychic attempt to repair me, and even when they did... when I healed I started remembering things. Vividly. Faces of people I'd known, the smell of charred bodies... It forced me to remember, but it was so painful I very nearly fell apart again. I don't heal because I don't want to relive that again.

I'm so sorry, Gladys. I'm so sorry for everything you've lost, and everything you've been through. And I don't blame you at all for not wanting to relive any of it.

From:

...Were you really not thinking of my panties? Even after you brought them up, were you still not thinking of them?

From:

Not until I said the word twice. And then, um... I didn't want to. But I did. A little bit.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

From:

gotbottle

It's okay, Mike. I wasn't asking to accuse or make you feel bad or anything. I was just all, wow, if he seriously managed not to think about it, even when talking about it... that's quite possibly not right.

I was just indulging my curiosity.

Sorry.

From:

It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize. I thought of it in the first place.

From:

gotbottle

Well. I apologize if me asking you about it made you uncomfortable.

From:

Will you forgive me?

From:

Yes.

From:

Even if I force you to relive it all? Even if it doesn't work?

From:

It's not your fault. Why would I hate you because I failed?

From:

'Not your fault.' 'Not your fault' not your fault not my fault nobody's fucking fault, Gladys, nobody's fucking fault!

But it will be my fault if I find you. And I will. I am a child of it and I carry it within me. How could you not hate me after I bring you that?

From:

It won't be your fault, it won't! I know, I understand, I was there. I... will remember again. I shouldn't forget. But if I can help you in any way, it's my duty to do that. I should have done it years ago, I just... I don't know.
