Um. I think I've learned how to use my Darkblood powers.

The only question now is how do I turn them off?!

[Nosferatmew and Mewnos: The Paws of Fate float on past the screen, each batcat not flapping its wings as a variety of other things in Lexi's bedroom float past Lexi, the batcats completely chill.

the batcats along with everything else in her bedroom, the remnants of a cocoon visible on the bed]

Looking for people who can also help me test the rest of my abilities, too. If not, I'll be back in the Satellite of Love tomorrow!

No, no it's okay! I kind of...lost most of a month.

[and she really shouldn't be!]

Uh. Would you believe I woke up in it?

You and me both, actually. I think I owe you a dinner date where I can give you a proper showering of affection!

[She's really missed Lexi, and there has been a LOT going on this month].

...

You might have to lead me into this one a bit.

[gently teasing] I think you do. And then I can shower you with affection, too!

[and she didn't know anything about it, given that she was in the cocoon]

Well. I went to sleep one night, but didn't wake up until just before my brain decided to turn the whole thing into Poltergeist.

Yay! It's been a really REALLY hard month.

[Enough that Luz knew she'd probably have some stories of Lexi. Luz just...was not one for avoiding trouble.

This though, definitely made her curious].

Poltergeist?! That movie with the skeletons and the scary clown?! What happened in the, uh, cocoon?

Oh. Oh. I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

Do you, uh. Wanna talk about it?

Different one, the one where the little girl gets eaten by the TV and shit flies everywhere through the house. And as far as I know, I slept. Until I woke up.

Trust me, I don't think you would have wanted to be.

Pfft. Which one do you want to discuss? When I went hunting for mushrooms and helped fight off monsters or when I got shot?

[This just happened this MONTH. Luz hasn't even told her about the zealots yet]!

Isn't that the same movie? "They're heeere" and all of that?

[if this were a sitcom, there would be an exceptionally loud record scratch noise at the news that Luz got shot]

Shot. When you got shot. Definitely start with that one.

[Right. This was what happened when you were upfront with people].

I recovered! But, ah, poor Sleeper was having an episode and got me in the shoulder.

But she immediately healed me up. She had that kind of blood.

[yeahhhh, it kind of was. but she'd rather hear about it from Luz than from anyone else]

Wait, there's blood which heals wounds? I know Palebloods can read minds, Coldbloods can start shit with fire or ice, and Vilebloods supposedly have poisonous blood. Who did it?

[Luz knew this was likely something she would have had to deal with more at home if she got there bleeding and shivering. Luca and Ahiru would have been mad, and Reaper would have been out for blood].

Yeah, that's Dark blood stuff. Uh, you know Vi at all? She has a sister with blue hair and braids. Jinx.

If you've ever seen her, trust me, you'll immediately know who she is. Hard to miss!

Literally.

[and her girlfriend would get a mix of extremely worried and extremely pissed off. what emotion would that even be? wossed off?]

Wait, that's a Darkblood thing? [under her breath] Why didn't I know that was a Darkblood thing? Are you feeling up to coming here? I don't want to leave the house with everything kinda. Floating.

I think so. It's been a while since we had almost every blood in the house. But she healed me, yeah. I thought that would be the most messed up thing that happened this month, but that was dumb. Those Zealots were still lying in wake.

[And Luz hadn't heard Lexi mention them at all, which was good. If they'd ever nabbed her girlfriend, Luz was pretty sure that her resistance to killing them would go right out the window].

You mean going to see you? You even have to ask?

[aaaaand another loud record scratch when Luz mentions the Zealots returning]

Damnit. Damnit. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you during that. This whole...egg thing had really crappy timing.

Well. I mean, yeah. Even with healing, you might be put on bed rest? I didn't want to assume anything.

[Whoo boy, where to go with this].

Believe me, I don't think you would have wanted to be around a few days ago. It's not pretty.

Oh, no, Wesker got that bullet out and I'm healing up! Besides, I'd go see you even if I was in a full body cast.

[weeps]

I would. I would. Maybe that would have kicked my abilities into gear then and I could have helped you.

[with a small, almost hysterical laugh] How would you manage that? have a hospital cot taken to me? I'd want you to rest and I would go to you.

Lexi, I really don't think you would have wanted to see the end result of that stuff. There was...death. Lots of death.

[In various ways].

Yeah, but that way I don't sound cool in the slightest!

I know, I know it's completely stupid of me to be mad at myself, but I still am. But, I wouldn't want to make you worry about me while taking care of yourself.

Nah, you do. You're cool without trying.

[Luz's eyes soften].

I'd always worry about you though. If I even thought you were taken to the factory, I would have probably burned the place down looking for you.

Ha! I'd love to see the faces of the people I knew back home hear you say that!

[as do Lexi's]

And I would have mentally torn it apart. I can do that now. Kind of. [and she gestures to a floating throw-pillow]

What, are you questioning my judgement? [her voice thoroughly full of mischief]

Granted, that probably wouldn't happen since those guys know how to use their abilities really well.

[Not that Luz would have let logic enter into the idea that someone would dare try to hurt Lexi]!

Me? I would never! Them, though? Maybe.

Obviously, you've never seen me really panicked before. I'd telekinesis those sons of bitches all the way back to the stone age.

[and telling herself that makes her feel braver than she thinks she actually would have been under the circumstances]

And I still need to meet them! I, uh. I really want them to approve of me?

[Luz laughed, shaking her head].

I have no doubt you'd do that. But if I even had to think of you fighting those guys, I'd be there in a second.

[Luz wouldn't even hesitate to use lethal force if they intended to cut up Lexi like they had to Sharon or Vi].

Those guys back home? No, Lexi. Not them. Mami, yes! Eda and Willow and Gus, YES!

[Lexi grins]

That would make us a total battle couple. Honestly, that's always been kind of a hashtag goals of mine.

[she's trying to put the brightest possible spin onto things, fearing that if she doesn't, Luz might dwell too much on what did happen]

I definitely want them to approve of me. I, y'know, it'll be a little intimidating.

[Luz blushed a little here].

That's one strange goal, but I think I like the idea of us looking after each other.

[That was a good call. Luz really didn't need to think about how bad things had gotten in there].

For now, just worry about the people here. This is the world we're dealing with now, and as far as I'm concerned? You're my star in it.

[and Lexi grins]

Is it strange? I don't know. I played a lot of video games where you can end up in that sort of couple. But us looking after each other...that's a given.

[Lexi was far more observant and careful than her friends back home had ever given her credit for. here, she didn't have to be as careful. but she was as observant]

I will. Especially you. [and she melts at the description] Well, to borrow a phrase from 'Game of Thrones,' you're my sun and stars.
