A bit of both, I think. She said she'd come to terms with it.

I wasn't ready, for him. It seemed like the right next step, but it's... I wasn't ready.

[immaterialgirl]

Sometimes they look at you in a way that makes you realize...

Not sure how anyone gets ready for something like that. The thought of it terrifies me, really. Having something that depends on me. Something that small and delicate and helpless and having to care for it. [when taking care of herself is already an exhausting fucking task. how is she meant to have the emotional capacity for anything else?]

[juniorvarsitycap]

Yeah.

You don't get ready? Most people think they are when it's planned, but it's nothing like you can imagine. It's so easy to get wrong.

[immaterialgirl]

That's why I liked being alone. Even when I got things wrong, the only one hurt was myself.

I'm sorry it didn't work out, though. The way you wanted.

[juniorvarsitycap]

I'd never been alone before. I didn't like it.

Me, too.

[immaterialgirl]

I'm warming up to this. The risks are offset by... everything else.

At least you have... us. Now.

[juniorvarsitycap]

Yeah, I do. Weird people, but I feel like i belong.

[immaterialgirl]

Oh, I'm weird? At least I don't- [okay everything about John seems so excessively normal.] Don't. [shit now she needs to come up with something, looking him up and down and unfortunately every quality about him is something she likes. that's annoying. he can't know that.] Have a fear of rodents.

[juniorvarsitycap]

I don't have a fear of rodents. I just don't like them. There's a difference.

[immaterialgirl]

They used to have cute little white mice in the lab I was raised in.

I cried for a whole day when I found out what they were doing with them. Kind of hard to dislike a creature that gets treated so poorly.

[juniorvarsitycap]

They did worse to you.

[immaterialgirl]

They were trying to see if they could make them like me. Transfer my abilities to another specimen. Never got it to work.

[well, until they uploaded her dna into an alien, but we don't talk about that.]

[juniorvarsitycap]

My distaste for SHIELD grows.

[immaterialgirl]

Maybe I should have felt better, that weaponizing me wasn't their first option. They wanted to extract it for other, more desirable agents. But... I was what they were stuck with.

When they realized that, things got much worse.

[juniorvarsitycap]

Hey. [He takes her gloved hand.] What I've got I did to myself. You didn't deserve anything they did to you. I'm sorry.

[immaterialgirl]

[she looks down in surprise, and then turns her hand over to fit better in his in acceptance of the offered comfort, the apology for her unfortunate circumstances.] It just felt like it, sometimes. That I did. But I-

[oh no, yep, her eyes are a bit wet. that's annoying. she tries to hide it by looking away.]

[juniorvarsitycap]

[He gives her hand a squeeze.] It's okay now. You're with us.

[immaterialgirl]

[a rough swallow, and then she nods, squeezes back. she is, and for the first time in her life she isn't longing for something else.]
