Koala Cabin, Alcove A3, Early Morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was tired. And sore.

Last night, he'd been awaken from a sound sleep by John Connor screaming on the other side of the cabin. He'd gone over to see what the hell was going on, and John had attacked him. Of course he'd defended himself. But then when John attacked Lana and then Maia, he'd become enraged, lost control over his temper, and come close to killing John. If John had hurt Phoebe, he probably would have killed him.

So he was decidedly emo about how easy it was to slip into demon form. He was stiff and sore. And he was pissy about getting detention for defending himself and the girls.

Staying in bed today seemed a good idea.

Phoebe was achy from the fight and the tension from trying to figure out what was happening and worrying about Lana and Maia. She had never seen John like that and it had scared her. When Maia and Lana had gotten hurt, she had known that things were going to get worse... and when she had gotten between him and Cole to try to calm them both, John had thought to protect her from Cole... and that hand't gone over well.

Then after everything was over, Anakin had shown up and made her empathy headache much worse.

Amazing that no one had come when she and Lana had screamed... or when John had screamed.

She moaned slightly and pondered not opening her eyes for a long while.

Cole snuggled closer to Phoebe and kissed the top of her head, reassuring her of his presence.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sighed softly, curling into Cole, relaxing slightly at the knowledge that he was there.

[demonbelthazor]

"How are you feeling?" Cole asked softly.

[sensethevisions]

"Does extremely stiff from tension and emotions and exhaustion count as a feeling?" She opened one eye. "You were the one fighting to keep us safe. How are you feeling?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Sore," he admitted. He wasn't sure if he wanted to talk about how easily it was to lose control, though.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sighed quietly, partially worried about him and partially worried about what had happened last night.

"Talk to me?"

[demonbelthazor]

"About what?" he said evasively.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe might have sighed sadly, but it was hard to tell as she was curled against him. One more thing to add to the list of things bothering him that he wouldn't talk to her about.

"I heard some of the blows he landed. Are you sure he didn't hurt you... I mean physically."

Blair bit his lip and bounced outside the alcove several times. He wasn't really sure what to say or ask and debated turning around and leaving several times.

Finally he cleared his throat and called out. "Um...I really hope I'm not interrupting things, but can I talk to Bel?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel made sure he and Phoebe were relatively decent. "Yeah, come on in, Blair," he said.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair peeked around the curtain, one hand covering his eyes. "First off, are you okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel got out of bed wearing only his pajama bottoms. He pulled a t-shirt over his head. "I'm fine," he said. "A little beat up, but just bumps and bruises, maybe a cracked rib."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Cracked rib doesn't sound fine to me." Blair still kept his hand over his eyes, sorta facing in the general direction of where Bel's voice was coming from.

"I..." Blair paused and mentally shrugged. He considered Bel a friend, but he also knew that he could be dangerous. "I'm still your friend, man. So don't take this the wrong way or anything. But are you back to being evil?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Huh?" Bel said. "Why are you asking me that? And you can look at me."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, I just don't want to intrude on your and Phoebe's privacy." Blair waved towards where he thought Phoebe might be in the alcove.

"I get that John went nutso last night and you protected the girls and stuff." Blair took a deep breath. "But you hurt him and I'm not sure if the whole 'going off of evil' thing is like trying to stay away from beer and now that you've had a taste of it you'll start wanting it more and then it's a slippery slope back off the wagon and I think I might have mixed up my metaphors there."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel frowned. "I did what I had to to protect myself and the girls," he said. "I'm not going to be evil again, really."

*sounds like somebody is knocking on the A side door*

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked up from where she was laying and smiled wanly, before going to the door and opening it. "Hey, Pippi," she said tiredly.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hi Phoebe," Pippi greeted her. "I hope I didn't wake you up? I heard on the radio that something happened and I wanted to make sure everybody was okay."

[sensethevisions]

"No, I was already awake," she assured her friend. "Lana and Maia are in the clinic. Cole's a bit bruised... I'm... well mostly physically okay. Just exhausted, worried and scared."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh dear." Pippi frowned, "What happened can I ask?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled slightly. "You can always ask, Pippi. John went crazy and attacked Cole and then lana and maia caught hurt... but I don't think John would ever intentionally hurt us. I think he had a bad nightmare and then he didn't see any of us as we really were." She sighed. "He especially didn't see Cole for who he is because he tried to keep me away from Cole." She looked at Pippi. "He felt so scared... and he was ranting about robots and cyborgs..."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi thought about that for a moment. She roughly remembered John showing up at the clinic for Sydney after the whole debacle with the robots in shop class. But he hadn't been in the class when it happened.

"... That must have been one hum dinger of a nightmare."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "It seemed to be and he woke up screaming... which is what woke all of us up and caused Cole to go over there and make sure everyone was okay."
