Re-Entry 16: Video

((Backdated to before Racetrack's disappearance, sometime after this thread.))

[Private to Trip, CC: Dean]

[Honestly, as remarkable as what's happened is, it's almost as remarkable that Felix is the first one to notice. He just really doesn't spend that much time in his own quarters anymore. But he stops by to pick something up, and that's when he notices the changes. Specifically, this one, which is why the camera is currently on what looks like a very standard shower.]

...Trip? [If he sounds completely bewildered, it's only because he is.]

[Friends filter (if you think you're on it, etc. Including you, Morgana.)]

I, um... I graduated today. [He still doesn't really sound like he believes it.] And for those of you who know what I was thinking about why I hadn't, I think I was right, because I'm not really sure what I'm going to do next. But... whatever happens, I wanted to say... thank you. To all of you. You deserve to hear that.

Actually, that's not entirely true. I do know one thing I'm going to do next. [He smiles slightly.] The CES showed me Picon once, just once... I'm going to go to the pub, get a bottle of something, and go sit there until it shows up again. Feel free to join me.

[Private to Racetrack and Claire Bennet, separately]

I'd like to ask you a question.

[Public]

[And this one is from the CES, later, when he seems to have found both his bottle and his world. He's sitting on a long stretch of beach, a low grassy hill rising behind him, the wind and salt in his hair; and even though the sun brings out all his imperfections -- how pale he's become under the olive tones of his skin, the shock of gray hair at his temples, the dark rings under his eyes -- he looks younger and softer than he ever has before. He takes a drink from the bottle and rubs a hand over his mouth.]

Does anyone know... has anyone ever stayed on this ship without becoming a warden?

Staying here is madness. There aren't many I'd wish this on.

Just to have a life.

My own life, not anything with the Fleet. Maybe to have kids.

[She's not yet comfortable enough with him for silences. So, Claire keeps going.]

Yeah, pretty much, between home and here, heh. Helps that I can't feel it anymore, either.

[She opens her mouth to explain but hides it with an induced yawn, which she covers with the back of her free hand, thinking she'll let Felix decide if he wants more A Look Into Claire's Life.]

[Claire winces, eyes descending to her lap before bouncing back up.] I don't mean to answer those with a question, but with this place it's relevant. You want my guessed age that includes Barge years? Or...what age I should be? [Frowns as she confuses herself and just shakes her head.] Know what? Forget it, I should be twenty-four, only my body stopped aging some years ago. My guess is between sixteen and eighteen years old. As for when the healing started, that was from birth. In my world, we're born with our abilities.

[Clicks tongue against teeth.] Yeah. I was 18 or 19. Happened when I left the Barge to go home for a bit.

[Happened because Sylar opened her head.]

Heh, no it had nothing to do with the Barge and everything to do with Sylar. Strangely enough, he was an Inmate here...he was always hunting me down for my ability and one day, he finally caught up. That's what prompted the change.

[She draws in a deep breath slowly, holds it, and then lets it rush out. Claire knows why Felix is asking, why he should know and that she should have just said this in the first place.]

Sylar used to take people's abilities by slicing their heads open. He'd take it right from their brain, literally. So after he poked around in mine, not only did we discover that I can't die, but afterwards, I just stopped feeling pain. I don't know how or why because he never offered up an explanation. I don't think it was intentional.

[She just nods this time; it's not as if she came speed things along for him, or bring him to a conclusion. She runs her hand over the sand, then brushes off the sticky remnants, and stands slowly.]

Congratulations.

Wherever. Not with the Earth of the fleet, though.

No offense, but I'm done with... us. Us as in everyone, the whole Fleet. How messed-up we are from what happened.

[It's Dean's turn to look at him quizzically, amused. If there's some relief in it, well, he doesn't acknowledge it and he can hardly be blamed, can he?

He can't exactly help comb the library for things he doesn't even know he's looking for, although he might try anyway if he finds himself with some downtime and has some examples from Felix for what to look for. Certainly he already knows a little just from talking to Felix. Now, he waves his hand a little dismissively, though it's not the idea he's discounting.

Bring whatever you find to the room. I'll get a bookshelf or something. And you can use the desk. I promise not to mess with it.
