Liz: How do you mourn someone who isn't really gone?
Elena: *soft* Uncle Jack?
Liz: *deep, almost pained breathe, then she simple nods*
Elena: *super hug* It'll be okay. We'll get him back.
Liz: *hugs back, tries to sound like a brave & strong* I know, sweetheart. I've...I -know-. It just...doesn't make it any easier.
Elena: I know. I love you, Aunt Lizzie. It'll be okay. *nuzzles* I know it's hard.
Liz: *the idea that a girl...a child...understands this breaks her heart* Thanks. He'll...he's gonna be fine. Always is. *clings*
Elena:Yeah. We'll be okay. Trev and Tommy are here and they promised it would be okay, and so did daddy. Harknesses and Petrellis keep their promises forever, remember? So they have to be right.
Liz: That's...that's not the problem, Lena. *this is such heavy stuff to be talking to a 13 year old about* I...know so much. So many things that I was never supposed to know. But even with seeing what I've seen and knowing what I know, I'm still *God,she hopes this doesn't upset Elena, but something about the Pertelli kids makes them so damn easy to talk to* -scared-. I'm terrified of what's going to have to happen for everything be set right again.
Elena: *FOURTEEN, thanks* *hugs her again, tighter this time*Can I tell you a secret? *whisper*I'm scared too, but no one really knows.
Liz: Secrets safe with me. *Liz flinches a little* Can I ask you something...about the future? Just..a little bitty thing.
Elena: Sure. What is it, Aunt Lizzie?
Liz: Did your daddy tell you about how he and your mommy are different when you were...you know....-little-?
Elena: Different? What do you mean, Aunt Lizzie? *she can't answer if she doesn't understand the question!*
Liz: *very worried that perhaps Elena doesn't know about powers now* Um... You know. -Special-.
Elena: OH! Yeah, no, I know. Me and Ayla are different too. So's Lukey and Bubby. *shrug*
Liz: *smiles slightly* OK. Good. When did you find out, how old were you?
Elena: Uhm... *frowns* I don't know. It feels like I always knew.
Liz: So..,before you were in school, you know? *Liz is feeling a bit like crap now*
Elena: *nods* Yeah. Daddy used to take me to fly.
Liz: *tiny smiles* When Jack and the boys and I were on the island...before...everything, *chuckles* I made S'mores. every night.
Elena: *big eyes* S'mores? Really?
Liz: *nods* Yup...I can make 'em with my bare hand. Perfect every time, no burnt spots.
Elena:Mm...sounds yummy.
Liz: *she tilts her head* Tell me you've had a s'more before.
Elena: Yeah, it's just been a long time. You know mama and anything that requires actual cooking*ducks head*Don't tell her I said that.
Liz: *chuckles* I promise. You should come over sometime. I still do fires on Friday nights for the boys.
Elena: *smiles* Maybe me and Ayla can come this weekend? Her birthday's Thursday and mine's today so it can be a little birthday thing?
Liz: *jawdrop* It's your birthday! Why didn't you say something before, honey?
Elena: *shrugs* Everyone's doing their own thing, didn't wanna make a big deal of them forgetting or not knowing. *sad-ish anyway*
Liz: *hugs* Honey, it's your special day and...*her parents aren't around* Tell you what? What's your birthday wish?
Elena: *looks down* I just...wanna be with my family and friends, but...I can't. But my birthday wish? I want everyone to be okay. I wish no one we care about would get hurt.*specially not Daddy or Uncle Jack*
Liz: Tell you what? I'll make sure you're with whatever friends you can be, and...I'll protect everyone I can. I promise.
Elena: Okay. *tiny smile* You'll even protect Daddy?
Liz: I'm his second in command. It's my job. *proudly*
Elena: *grins* Okay. I believe you, Aunt Lizzie. Just...make sure you protect you too, okay?
Liz: *nods* I will. I had a really good teacher.
Elena: I know. *beams* You're amazing, Aunt Lizzie. Just want you to know that.
Liz: *blushes* Hey, takes one to know one, doesn't it?
Elena: *crinkles her nose and blushes* I'm not amazing. I'm just Elena.
Liz: Well, I'm just Liz. Doesn't mean we can't be amazing and be ourselves, right?
Elena:I guess so. Still don't think I'm amazing, but thank you. *kissyface*
Liz: *grins* Just wait. You and your sister are going to do great things. Count on it.
Elena:*confused face* Us? -Me?- How? I'm just Elena. Daddy and Uncle Logan are the heroes.
Liz: Your daddy and your Uncle Logan used to be your age, remember?
Elena: Yeah, but...Daddy was always supposed to be a hero, and it's been a way long time since Uncle Logan was my age.
Liz: You know what your Uncle Jack says, right? Heroes are made, not born.
Elena: I know. He reminds me a lot, but still. Daddy was gonna be president and a super hero and everything before he met Mama.*GOSSIP*
Liz: Yeah, and now he's a lot better than all that, don't you think?
Elena: *conspiratorial whisper* He's my number two hero.
Liz: *smiles and whispers back* Who's number one?
Elena: *grin* Uncle Logan.
Liz: *chuckles* Won't that hurt your Daddy's feelings?
Elena:That's why Daddy doesn't know. *sage nod*
Elena: *soft* Uncle Jack?
Liz: *deep, almost pained breathe, then she simple nods*
Elena: *super hug* It'll be okay. We'll get him back.
