Nike looked at Courtney skeptically, then shrugged. She appeared to be behaving normally, at least for a girl, even if she had been hallucinating earlier. "Sure." He agreed as he headed over to the fridge. "I'll heat some up for us in the microwave. And hey...there's a table down here now we can eat at." Mike pointed out as he opened the fridge and got four pieces of pizza out. He put them on a plate and put them in the microwave before he pressed the reheat button. As the pizza was warming up, he went back to the fridge and got a root beer. "What do you want to drink?" He asked.

************************************

Barry nodded sympathetically when she mentioned a bad dream. He'd been afraid of something like that, which was why he'd woken her. He hadn't planned to ask what the dream was about, that seemed way too personal, and he got a surprised look on his face when she began to explain anyway. He nodded when she said she didn't want to go into detail, he wasn't going to press her, but he'd listen if she wanted to talk. He nodded again as she rushed past him, and watched her go into the bathroom. He stared at the door for a few minutes, then went and sat down in front of his computer. If Skye wasn't out in a few minutes, he'd go check on her. In the meantime, he'd get her email set up. Every teenager needed email, after all.
 
Courney nodded "Ill have a bottle of water to drink, Im going to go freshen up while you heat up the food. I wont be long." She said as she walked by him and into the bathroom where she closed the door and stood looking into the mirror trying to convince herself that she really hadnt seen the box glowing and that it was all in her head. After a minute or two of staring into the mirror she ran some water and washed her face before heading back out tot he dining area they had for the two of them. "Well, the hard parts over with. Everything is at least in the right rooms now. Now we al just need to figure out where we want what. That part is going to take awhile." she laughed slightly leaning back in the chair

**************************************

Skye wiped the tears from her eyes and threw a bit more water onto her face before she came out and walked back to her room to grab her sketchpad and some pencils before she noticed Barry doing something on the computer "What are you doing?" She asked curiously since even though she could see it was something on the internet and he had her name up there but she could figure out what exactly he was up to. Was he searching for her records or something? As far as she knew those were beyond sealed off. Even she couldnt get a look at them.
 
"Water...adventurous." Mike teased her, though he did get the water she requested. He did stare a bit at the bathroom door after she entered, recalling what he had seen last night in that very room. When the microwave beeped, it pulled him out of his memories, and he got the pizza out of the oven and set it on the table along with their drinks. "Dinner is served." Mike said with a flourish of his arm, then playfully pulled out her chair for her, helping her get seated as if they were in an actual restaurant before he took his own seat. "Well, close enough, at least." he agreed. Some chairs and stuff might get moved around as they settled in, but it wouldn't be that big a deal. "But yeah...I need to organize my comics again. That's going to take a bit."

********************************

Barry didn't look over at Skye until she addressed him, not wanting to violate her space more than he already had. but when she spoke, he turned and smiled at her. "Getting your email set up so I can spam you." He teased her. "Any preference for a user name? Or should I just use your name? We're on our own server, so you don't have to worry about it being taken or something."
 
Courtney couldnt help but laugh at Mikes behavior. "Why thank you sir!" She said and sat down. She was slowly starting to grow quite fond of Mike. She never outright despised him or Pat either one but she did resent the situation because it meant she had to leave her old home, school and friends in LA but its not like she was a million miles away. It was literally just down the highway from LA and only a few miles outside of town so if it came to it she could hop on her bicycle and ride back and forth until she got her license. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Im going to need to reorganize all my books and CDs and whatnot as well but I had been looking for an excuse anyway." She shrugged and waited for him to sit down and then started to eat not realizing how hungry she was and having finished off her pizza in fairly short order.

********************************

She shrugged "Well I mean you would be the only one with my email anyway so youre the only one who would email me. Not like I have any friends or whatever so its whatever." She shrugged it off. She could tell he was trying to joke but somehow she either didnt get the joke or didnt care. Which one wasnt entirely clear. "As for username? Im not sure. This is my first time having an email or anything like that so I dont know what to pick other than just my name."
 
"You are welcome, Ma'am." Nike had been more than apprehensive about suddenly getting a sister, quite frankly especially one that looked as hot as Courtney, but she actually wasn't that difficult to talk to, and she seemed to get his sense of humor which made things much easier. He gave a slight bow as he took a seat across from her. He chuckled when she mentioned her books. "Yeah, I know all about your book collection. Those things were heavy." He mock complained, though they really didn't weigh more than his comics.

Mike didn't devour his pizza quite as fast as Courtney, but it was close. "Want some more?" he asked as he considered seconds. He then grinned a bit as he spotted some tomato sauce on her chin. "Umm...you've got some..." He trailed off and pointed to his own chin, figuring she'd get the hint.

*********************************

"Oh, don't worry. I'll add you to same mailing lists so you can save money on auto insurance as well." He continued to try and tease her, not picking up on the fact she didn't get the joke. He shrugged at her noncommittal reply about her email address. "Well, I'll just use Skye then. I can always change it later...or show you how to change it, if your curious." He offered with a shrug, not sure if she'd enjoy that or not. "Anyway...I've just about got your laptop updated, and it's already on the wifi. So when you go to use it, you'll just have to set the password for it."
 
Courtney playfully rolled her eyes when Mike mentioned how heavy her books were. "Hey be glad I donated half of them before we moved here." She laughed "Or else it could have been twice as heavy>" She sat back and took a drink of her water. "On a side note this place is definitely a keeper. It even reheats well. Some places dont even have that." When he mentioned she had something she looked at him confused then when he pointed to his chin she realized what he was trying to tell her as she grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth and chin.

"Did I get it?" She asked since she didnt want to pick up her phone just to look at herself. "I guess we should get started on unpacking then huh?" She said as she stood up having forgotten about the glowing, vibrating box in the closet.


****************************

"But I dont have a drivers license so why would i need to save money on car insurance?" She asked still clearly not getting the joke. "If I think of anything good Ill let you know." She said as he finihsed setting up her email for her. "So, I was going to try and get started on that picture you wanted. Do you have a specific pose or look you want for her? Anything specific you want her to wear? Or do you want her to be wearing anything at all?"
 
"You had twice as many books? How did you have room for a bed?" Mike teased her, amazed how well they seemed to be getting along. He nodded when she complimented the pizza. "Yeah...Dad liked it as well. I bet we can get him to make it a family tradition." He told her, then sighed with relief when she didn't get upset with him for pointing out her food mishap. He'd heard some girls threw a fit if you dared point out they were less than perfect, he was glad Courtney wasn't like that.

He nodded when she asked if she got it, then nodded when she suggested unpacking. "Yeah...those comics won't unpack themselves.' He agreed as he rose from the table as well, and headed for his room.

*********************************

Barry's grin faded as his joke not only fell flat, but wasn't even recognized as a joke. "Well, you'll probably need your learners permit soon." he told her, not trying to joke again. He nodded as she said she'd think about her email user name, then raised an eyebrow as she mentioned his picture. She'd really meant it, it seemed. He opened his mouth to tell her the kind of pose he was thinking, then his mouth stayed open at her last question. The thought had never occurred to him. "Wait...wearing anything at all? As in...naked?" Was she actually suggesting she'd do a nude drawing for him? That couldn't be right, but he couldn't come up with anything else.
 
"Ha ha, very funny." she mocked back at him when he teased her book collection "I actually had multiple bookshelves back in my old room. Only had room for one of them on the truck which is why I donated so many of my books. It was that or throw them away and I couldnt bring myself to throw away perfectly good books so I donated them to schools and the library branch near our old apartment." Then Barry mentioned making the pizza place a family tradition and that idea actually make Courtney quite happy "Yeah I could get behind that. It would definitely give us more of a family bonding experience. Since I dont know how much time we will have normally with Pat and mom both working and both of us going to school and all my extra curriculars."

She picked up the plates from the table "Ill take care of the dishes since you dished it out. Then Im going to get started unpacking and maybe Ill get a proper shower tonight now that we have real towels and I have some clothes." She laughed


**************************************

"Hmm...Yeah probably" She shrugged. Driving was the last thing on her mind since she didnt exactly have anywhere to go. Its not like she had any friends or anything and she had moved to an entirely new city now so she didnt really know anyone or where anything was in the city. "Yeah...? You know like nude? I can draw nude. Im not horrible at it. You wanna see?" She said perking up again since drawing was her one passion and hobby that she had been able to maintain throughout all her different foster homes.
 
"Damn...that sucks." Mike said quietly, grateful he didn't have to part with his collection due to the move. "But yeah...glad someone gets to enjoy them at least." He shrugged when she mentioned family bonding. "Yeah...that's going to take some getting used to. Before, I guess anytime Dad and I did something together it was family bonding...now we've got to plan and coordinate that kind of thing." He smiled, pleasantly surprised, when she picked up his plate and said she'd take care of it...having a sister had its perks, it seemed. He did, however, turn bright red when Courtney mentioned a shower. He'd managed to push the memory of the aftermath of her last shower out of his mind, but her innocent words brought the image of her naked body he glimpsed in the mirror rushing back. "Uh...yeah...yeah..." He mumbled. "Umm...Dad said he found the clog in the hot water line, so you shouldn't have any issues. As long as you remember the towel."

************************************

"Um...yeah..." Barry said softly, his curiosity getting the better of him. For a moment he wondered if she'd drawn any nude self portraits, and that was what she was offering to show him, and he wasn't sure how he felt about that. Sure, he was curious, but he didn't want to violate her privacy...but if she was offering, he wouldn't be violating anything, would he? But then the more rational part of his brain kicked in, and he figured she had just been using her imagination and the drawings wouldn't even be of people he knew...but then...she would have had to use her own body as a model in some respects...right?
 
Courtney made her way to her bedroom where she dug through her clothes until she found her favorite baby blue pajama set. It was nothing special but a simple button down top and a pair of pants. But the fabric was lightweight and very breathable so it was perfect even for the middle of summer. She grabbed a towel and the rest of her shower supplies and headed off to the bathroom. "Did you need to use it or anything before I shower? I promise I wont take long and if Pat fixed the hot water like you said then there should be plenty left after I get done."

*********************

She walked over to her sketchbook and flipped to the back which was where she kept her nude drawings. That way no one would know they were there except for her. She did on very rare occasions use her own body for reference when drawing characters nude but more often than not she could find clothed references in other media and use those to give her at least a general idea of how the characters would look nude. "Here." She said handing Barry the sketchbook. "Take a look and see what you think. Theres probably half a dozen or so pages of various characters in various poses in varying states of undress ranging from lingerie to full nude."
 
Mike glanced over at her, then quickly focused on sorting out his comics, well aware that he'd be getting naked in the bathroom shortly after she finished with her shower. "Uh...no...I'm good." He mumbled in response. Unless she was one of those girls who took hours in the bathroom, he should be fine. Worst case, he could always use the bathroom upstairs if needed.

***************************************

Barry reached out and hesitatingly took the sketchbook, almost as if he was afraid it would burn him. When nothing of the sort happened, he looked at the first drawing. It was no one he recognized in what looked like lingerie. Skye didn't stop him, so he flipped the page and looked at her other drawings as well. He couldn't tell if she'd used herself as a reference or not...he couldn't even tell if the drawings were anatomically accurate, he wasn't an expert on the female body, but it was enough he could feel an erection coming on. "Wow...these are very good." Barry told her, holding said sketchbook to hide the growing bulge in his pants.
 
She nodded and headed off to the bathroom. She took off her clothes and placed them in the dirty laundry while placing her towel on the toilet for now. She let her hair down from the ponytail it had been in all day and turned on the water. While the water heated up she took the chance to look at herself in the mirror and check her body for any pimples or anything else out of the ordinary before stepping in and pulling the curtain closed.

She took a bit longer than last night since tonight she actually had real hot water for a change instead of last night where it was hot for a minute and then suddenly not again.

*********************************

"I mean they're all right considering I'm just an amateur with a pencil and paper. If I had like REAL drawing tools like proper pencils and good paper it could look even better and even more realistic. A lot of them right now are just from memory of seeing them with their clothes on and having to guess their proportions based on what I can see. A couple I didnt have any real reference for so I had to use myself as a reference but I'm sure you can tell the difference." She laughed completely unaware of the erection that had formed in her foster brothers pants.
 
Mike did his best NOT to think about what he could hear happening just on the other side of the door. Fortunately, a distraction soon presented itself as he heard an odd humming coming from the basement closet. "What the hell?" He asked softly as he got up and opened the door...then his the floor as a long glowing staff shot out over his head. Mike was so surprised he didn't even think to holler out a warning to Courtney as a bolt shot out of the staff, blowing the lock off the bathroom door. "Court?!" Mike panicked a bit and without thinking jumped up and ran after the staff into the bathroom, concerned it intended to attack his sister.

After the staff blew a hole in the door, it came into said bathroom and kept going until it entered the shower, through the shower curtain. It spun around in a circle, completely entangling itself up in said curtain before it came to a hover a foot away from Courtney...who at least had no issues with hot water this time.

**************************************
All right...Barry did NOT need to know his instincts were correct and she used herself for a model. That certainly didn't help his erection. He didn't study her drawings again to try and tell the difference as she had offered him a great distraction. He'd wanted to get her some sort of welcome to the family gift, far better than the old stuffed rabbit he'd finally settled on, and she'd just told him what she wanted. He turned to the computer and quickly brought up a shopping site, typing in 'drawing tools'. "What kind were you looking for?" He asked curiously, as the search he entered had almost a thousand results, not all of which were prohibitively expensive he was happy to note.
 
Courtney had just about finished her shower when she heard Mike in the hallway between their rooms and the bathroom. It sounded like he was surprised by something? At first she didnt pay any attention to it thinking maybe he found a comic or something that he thought he lost or lost one he thought he had. Then when she head him call her name she turned off the water. But before she could respond she was confronted by some strange object. It looked like... a staff? She creamed out at the top of her lungs hoping Pat and/or her mom would hear her and come down. She was already in shock at whatever this was in her shower but having her step brother in there too? That made things quite awkward. One thing was for sure, she wasnt happy. 2 nights in this place that she had tried to shower and 2 nights something went wrong. Last night she wrote off as a coincidence but tonight? No chance. Whatever had been in that box she had put away hours ago had broken out and was now in the shower with her.


***********************************

Skye looked on as Barry finished flipping through her sketchbook and then quickly got distracted by the idea of her wanting drawing tools. Was he really that scatterbrained? "Oh um.....I wouldnt even know where to start." She looked over his shoulder at the pencils that he had found online. They looked to be decent quality and there were quite a few of them. After a few minutes of scrolling she saw one that caught her attention more than any other and pointed at it. "That one. It looks better than the other by comparison."
 
Okay...maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Mike thought as he charged into the bathroom, intending to do...well, he wasn't quite sure, but his intentions were noble. He thought Courtney was in trouble and he wanted to help her, but now, for the second night in a row, he was seeing his step-sister buck naked. And this time it wasn't in a mirror, he could see everything she had to offer directly. The shower curtain didn't conceal anything either, except for the staff, which was wrapped up in said shower curtain. The staff still glowed, and light shone through the curtain, bathing Courtney's nude body in it's light. Mike didn't even hear her scream, though Pat sure did, and he came running down the stairs into the bathroom as well, and it was a toss up which surprised him more...the active staff or his naked step daughter.

************************************

well, Barry wasn't much help, he had no idea where to start either...probably even less than Skye did. Right now, he was just grateful she hadn't noticed his erection, though her leaning over his shoulder, putting her breast right next to his head, certainly didn't help. He nodded as she picked out a drawing set that certainly looked fancy to him, and clicked the add to cart button. As he'd hoped, the price was something he could afford. "And you mentioned a notepad as well?" He questioned as he typed in another search and got dozens of hits again.
 
"What the fuck is this thing?!?!" Courtney cried out as she bolted from the shower and grabbed her towel to cover herself. "And what does it want with me?!?" She looked around panicked as her heart raced. This...whatever it was...had come out of the box in the closet under the stairs. And rather than just escaping it sought her out. Did it want something specific from her? If so what? And why? She had a million questions running through her head but right now the most important one (to her dignity anyway) was if she was covered up enough. She had already given Mike and her new step-dad an eyeful the last thing she wanted was to give them any more of a show than she already had.


***********************************

"Notepads are pretty much all the same. Only difference is the higher end ones have different quality paper. Its a bit thicker than your standard printer paper but its still paper." She sad as she looked through the ones on the page. Eventually she found one that had a cool cover design. "How about that one?" She reached over his shoulder and pointed at the notepad she wanted. "You dont have to buy those you know, I can just do the same thing with regular pencils and notebook paper. Ive done it my whole life so Im fine with it." She shrugged trying to convince him he didnt need to buy them for her even though she truly appreciated it.
 
Mike had no idea what the answer to her question was. Pat had some idea, as much as anyone on the planet at least, but he'd never expected the thing to actually activate. Nor had he ever expected to see his step daughter naked. Now he was seeing both at once. Pat had wanted to bond with Courtney some more, but seeing her naked was a bit overboard. He saw her bolt from the shower and almost run over himself and Mike, and he couldn't help the fact his eyes focused on her bouncing breasts a bit. She also didn't wrap herself up in the towel as well as she might have, and they both still got a nice view of her ass as the staff settled on the floor of the shower, as inert as it had been in the crate.

This had been the second time Mike saw his step sister naked, but this time it hadn't been in a mirror. And she also knew all about it. Mike's jaw dropped a bit, and he himself couldn't say if it was because of the staff or Courtney's body.

*******************************************

If paper was just paper, Barry wasn't sure what difference it made and why she wanted different paper, but he certainly wasn't going to argue with her about it. He flushed a bit as she reached over his shoulder, her breast bumping said shoulder, but he tried to ignore that as he picked 'add to cart' for the pad she'd selected. "I want to." Barry assured her, and he meant it. He'd wanted to get her some sort of welcome present, but hadn't had a clue what to get her besides the mangy stuffed rabbit. So he was happy to get this for her. "It should be here by the end of the week. Consider it an early birthday present...or a late one. Whichever works."
 
Once Courtney had managed to find and pull on her bathrobe, she reemerged form her bedroom and walked back towards the bathroom. "Will someone PLEASE tell me what the heck this thing is? I think I have a right to know since it invaded my privacy while I was in the shower for crying out loud!" She said as she finished tying her robe extra tight so that it didnt fly open. While it didnt go all the way to the floor like some did, it covered the important parts and stopped just below her knees.

"And if you cant tell me what it is then could you maybe tell me what the heck it wants with me?" She asked as she was equal parts scared and curious about what this thing was and what it wanted with her and what it would do if she touched it.


********************************

"Oh uh....after my last birthday, I uh....I dont really want another birthday present ever again. Ill uh Ill just think of it as a whats it called a housewarming gift?" She said as she found herself awkwardly staring at Barry erection in his pants. "So uh...."She hesitated. "Do you uh...want some uh...help or something? With uh...with that I mean. Me being a girl and all its my job isnt it? To help guys when they have that...problem? Thats what I was told anyway. Its a womans job to help with those problems."
 
"I can tell you what I know." Pat told her once she returned. The staff had been returned to its crate, at least for now, and Pat realized he couldn't really answer either of her questions. But he could fill in some of the blanks for her, at least, she deserved that much after what had happened.

Pat went into the closet where they had put a few boxes of old documents, and returned with a handful of file folders, Some stamped 'SECRET', 'Property of the DEO', an organization Pat was sure Courtney was unaware of. and others with the label 'JSA'. Mike was intensely curious as well and sat down across from Courtney...until he realized her robe made a bit of a V pointing down her chest, then he shifted seats until he was sitting next to her.

Pat paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, then picked up a folder. "Ever heard of the Justice Society of America?" He asked, and he wouldn't be a bit surprised if she hadn't. The organization had disbanded a couple decades ago, and even back then their activates weren't something that ever made the papers. The government made sure of that. He took an old photo of several men in colorful costumes and slid it across the table to Courtney.

JSA.jpg

************************

"What?" Barry glanced over at her as she began to stammer and said something outrageous. Who wouldn't want a birthday present? And a housewarming gift was something you got when you bought a house as far as Barry knew. But Skye seemed flustered enough he wasn't going to argue with her. "Okay." He agreed with a shrug. It didn't really matter to him what they called it.

Then she went off on some tangent and might as well have been speaking a foreign language. "What?" Barry repeated, dumbfounded. He had no idea she'd seen his erection and what she was offering to help with.
 
Courtney picked up the old picture and looked at it. "This looks like something out of a comic book. Are you being serious with me right now? Or are you jerking me around?" She said as she looked up at Pat with a raised eyebrow as she flattened her robe against the back of her legs and sat down at the table next to Mike. "Assuming for a moment that youre serious, what do these guys have to do with the staff?" She had so many questions going through her head and so few answers that she didnt know what to think at this point.


************************************

Skye looked at him nervously thinking maybe she had done something wrong when he looked at her. "Well I was always told its a womans responsibility to help a man when he has that problem." She said casually pointing between his legs at the very visible erection. "I promise I wont tell if you want me to help. Ill be a good girl and do whatever you want to help with that." She said as she was visibly nervous and on edge not wanting to have angered him and risk him hitting her or something worse.
 
Pat chuckled softly when she said the photo looked like a comic book. "I believe some of them did inspire comic books, yes." he told her. "Not that they'd admit it, of course. But yes, I'm being absolutely serious with you right now." He reached out and took the photo from her and looked at it for a moment, s small smile on his face as memories flashed through his head, before he tapped the center of the picture. "You see the guy with the star on his chest? That's Starman, and he's holding the staff that...that's in the closet right now." He told her, deciding not to mention the fact it had been in the bathroom a few minutes earlier.

**********************************************

"Who told you THAT?" Barry blurted out as he turned beet red as Skye made it quite clear just what she was talking about. He shook his head adamantly ay her. "I don't...that is..." Barry stammered. Truthfully he wanted her help, he wanted to see what she had in mind, but it just felt so wrong he had to shake his head. "You don't have to do that to stay here." He finally told her, not being so naive that he couldn't guess what had led to her offer.
 
"OKay, so it belonged to some guy who called himself starman. That still doesnt explain what it is or why it reacted that way to me." She said still just as confused. Even if this 'Starman' was a real person (which she still was skeptical about) why did he have this staff and why did it come after her? And if Pat didnt know then who would? AT this point there was no way she could simply let it go. "So, if you dont know much about it then how did you end up with it? And then who would know more? I cant simply 'let it go' now. At first when it started vibrating and glowing in the box maybe. But now? Now freaking way. The thing came after me!" She said as she sat back into her chair folding her arms and crossing her legs.


*************************************

"Oh...are you sure? My uh.....last foster brother always threatened to get me kicked out if I didnt. He said it was the least I could do for his family taking me in. So I mean if youre sure you dont want me to then just forget I asked about it and Ill go get started on the sketch for your drawing you wanted. It wont be anything good just yet but its just going to be a draft to see if you like it. You can ask me to change anything about it you want before I make the finishing touches on it." Skye said as she stood upright still slightly staring at the bulge in Barrys trousers. Almost curious if he was better than her last foster brother. At least it didnt seem like he was eager to turn her over his knee and spank her naked bottom.
 
"As for what it is...scientists have been debating that for years. All I know is that it was invented by some guy named Ted Knight...there are rumors he got technology out of Area 51, but I don't know for sure. All his records were lost when the Injustice Society attacked his lab. As for why it reacted that way to you...I have no idea. That things been in the crate for close to ten years, and this is the first time its done anything. As for how it got in the crate in the first place..." Pat dug into another folder and withdrew another picture, this one showing five men standing in what appeared to be a garage. Courtney would easily recognize Pat as one of the men in the photo, and might even recognize Pat's classic car in the background. "There was a final battle between the Justice and Injustice Society. Starman..." Pat's voice broke a little at this and he paused to catch his breath. "Starman didn't make it. I wasn't about to let the Injustice Society or the government take the staff, and by that point there wasn't anyone else around I could trust. I'm not sure who would know more...maybe the DEO? Or the organization the DEO transitioned to..." Pat trailed off...he wasn't supposed to know that. He frowned for a moment when Courtney exclaimed the staff came after her. "I don't think it meant you any harm...as far as I know, its never killed anyone." Pat tried to assure her.

************************************************

"No..." Barry honestly answered automatically when she asked if he was sure, then he abruptly shook his head. He didn't want Skye to get the wrong idea...it sounded like she had plenty of those. "I mean yes...I'm sure. You won't get kicked out if you don't...well...you know." Barry didn't quite know himself, and he was intensely curious, and he looked at Skye questionably. "You...you don't have to...don't have to do anything...but...just out of curiosity...what WERE you going to do? Can you tell me?" He finally asked, and if she didn't answer he wouldn't push the issue. "And yeah...a draft sounds great."
 
Injustice league? DEO? What had her mother married into. At first it seemed like Pat was a nice enough guy but now? Now Courtney, who was already confused when her bio dad walked out on her at just 8 years old, was even more confused. Mike at least seemed like he didnt inherit his fathers crazy gene. "You can see why Im a little skeptical about this right? Like all this talk about superheroes and the 'Injustice League'. Honestly if I didnt know better Id swear I was having a strange dream about one of Mikes comics or something." She said as she rubbed her temples trying to process all of this. "For now, Im going to get a glass of water, Im going to take a couple painkillers and Im going to go sleep this off and pretend it didnt happen." She stood up and tightened her robe before doing exactly what she said she was going to do. Water, painkillers, bed.


*****************************************************

"I can tell you. Sure." She shrugged. It seemed the sort of thing that wouldve been easier to show than tell but he didnt want her to show him so she opted to tell him. "So I was told that if a girl sees a guy with *THAT* problem. Shes supposed to either jerk him until he finishes or suck him off until he does. Ive uh....got an unfortunate amount of experience with both so I was just going to pick one and see which one made you happier." She shrugged looked away blushing. "Sorry, I dont really know how to be a proper girl. I was kind of used for my body and then tossed aside the day after my birthday." She thought back to what her foster brother had done to her on her birthday. "Um...." she started. "Uh...nevermind." She was going to ask if there was any way he knew to delete pictures from someones phone without having the phone itself but it sounded like a stupid question all things considered so she opted to get her pencils and notepad. "So who did you want me to draw for you? And did you decide what you want them to wear?"
 
"You can verify all this with an internet search." Pat assured her, well aware it sounded crazy, which was why most of the sites she'd find were in conspiracy rooms. But there was enough truth in them to back up what he was saying. "And the stuff I'm talking about predates the comics, and inspired them, which explains the similarities." Of course, how it happened that he was talking about stuff from the World War Two era like he was there would spark a whole new line of questioning when she did the math, but if she was having a hard time believing what he'd told her so far, he didn't want to bring time travel into it. So he could do little else but nod as she listed out her activities. He doubted ignoring the problem was the answer, but he couldn't force her to do anything.

Barry paled as she said exactly what he'd been thinking she was talking about. Part of him was disappointed he'd said no, but he knew it was the right thing to do. "Well, that isn't how its supposed to work, unless your dating or something, I guess." Barry told her. He wasn't an expert, but it sounded right. He flushed as she admitted she had experience with the technique...that was not information he wanted to know.

"Ummmm...." Barry was grateful she changed the topic, but he had a feeling Skye had a lot of baggage to work through, and he knew he wasn't the guy to help her. "You don't have to do this, you know.' He told her. With her latest revelation, he thought she might be drawing him a picture because she thought he was ordering her to, not because she wanted to. "And...uh...have you ever...thought about...talking to...a therapist...or something?"
