[i]Pan protects her burnt right arm with her left.[/i]
"Ow! It's fine! That had nothing to do with my powers!"
English
-
"Then what was it?"
-
[i]Pan gets frustrated.[/i] "Well!....umm.....I don't know, but I'm not gonna stop!"
-
"You gotta! It's gonna kill you!"
-
"I can't stop! What are you going to do to stop me, huh?!"
-
"If I can't stop you... I'll find someone else to. I'm not having another daughter die on me."
-
[i]Pan groans in pain as she gets off the bed.[/i] "Good luck with that! I'm going to go use as much power as I can!"
-
"Pan... Don't. I can't stop you, but that'll kill you, and..." [b]I clench my fist. A tear runs down my cheek.[/b] "And DAMMIT I don't want to lose another daughter!"
-
[i]Pan doesn't answer until she walks out the door. Her voice is just loud enough to hear.[/i] "Now you've lost two...."
-
[b]I walk out after her.[/b] "What do you mean?"
-
[i]Pan walks in silence. Tears that fall from her face and onto the ground leave a burn mark on the floor.[/i]
-
"Pan, what's wrong?"
-
[i]Pan doesn't look back as she waves her hand and a wall of pure red fire barely misses Grant.[/i]
-
[b]Like fire would even scratch NCR Ranger Combat Armor. I walk right through the flames.[/b] "Tell me what's wrong."
-
[i]Pan turns around and weakly shoves Grant. From her face you can tell she's extremely upset and not in control of her emotions.[/i] "Go away! I don't need help! I need family and friends!...love....Instead all I get is a bunch of people saying I shouldn't be me! I shouldn't use the powers I've been given!"
-
"Kiddo... If I didn't love you then why would I try to save your life? I already said I can't stop you. There's no reason for you to leave like this. That thing where I said I'd find someone else to was a threat, nothing more. I just... I'm really scared, ya know? About what would happen to me if either you or Elvis dropped dead. I'd probably lose my shit."
-
"If you loved me you'd accept me for who I am. I am chaos now. I can't help what I am." [i]Pan calms down slightly.[/i]
-
"Dammit... Well then... If you're Chaos then I guess I fûcking love Chaos." [b]I reach over and give her a hug, more for my comfort than hers.[/b]
-
[i]Pan doesn't hug back immediatley, but instead rests her head on you.[/i] "I don't want to be chaos, but it is what I am now. I have to live with that because there's no way of stopping it. I'm going to die, father....And I don't want to die." [i]She hugs back.[/i]
-
"I'm going to find a way. I'll be damned if I don't."
-
"Father, don't waste your time, go be with Elvis. You can actually have fun with her and watch her grow up. I'm sorry to disapoint you, father."
-
[b]I hug her tighter.[/b] "Pan, if you think you're disappointing me by dying, then you don't know me. You've done nothing but good in my life. I'm gonna try my goddamned hardest to save yours."
-
[i]Pan hug loosens.[/i] "I just don't want you to get hurt when the time comes."
-
[b]I sigh.[/b] "Then let me have this right now. Just you. And me. A family. Let's just spend some time together now. Maybe I can get Elvis here too."
-
[i]Pan tightens ger hug.[/i] "I'd like that, father."
-
[b]I sigh again, just taking in what's going to happen. If she was gonna die... I was gonna be the best goddamn dad on the planet. I just stand there for a second, embracing the kid.[/b]
