[There's a huff by Rey and the faintest of pouts, but she gives in to acknowledge the oh, so wrong-doings of not believing her brothers.]
Fine, I'm sorry. You were right, and I was wrong. Better? [Did Five expect Rey to grovel at his feet? Or expect more coffee from her? She was willing to do the latter, not the former. How was she to know that's what Steve's birthday was. It sounded too good to be true.]
Were we heroes? [Rey seemed skeptical of that. It felt like they were more like science experiments than actual children. Or, weapons? Weapons disguised as children. If Reginald didn't teach them how to harness their powers, who knows what could've happened to them. They saved the day in a few situations, but some of them now had hero complexes and some were ...trying to fix the scars left by their father figure.]
Yes, I know.. [She didn't have to suffer in silence. She didn't have to keep things from them, or hide away. Though, in saying she didn't have to suffer by herself, Rey hopes Five (both of them) knows the same works in reverse. He could tell her anything. He could go to her and there wouldn't be any questions, no judgements.
The thought lingers in her head even as Sammy comes in, making her grin. He was such a good pup.] Aww, that's adorable. A little bowtie. [She'll have to get a picture of Sammy with it. Maybe even with both Five's holding him up. Proud pet parents.]
Me? Doing something for the sake of being evil? No...but maybe for a bit of mischief, maybe. [She tried to look neutral for a moment, but the smile broke through on her face. Talking with Five...it was good. It was great, it brought back many memories of them as kids.
But, New York? That snapped her out of her lovestruck bubble.]
Ahh, I wouldn't start making plans. Not right now--or right away. I'd have to see how the next date goes and...take things from there. [She didn't want to rush! Why were her brothers making her feel like she was trying to rush?]
