Yikes

Eilinora knew that her story was making the mood of the room very depressing. She chuckled sadly, letting her hair fall back down her back again to cover the scars. “I know and I can’t begin to thank you guys enough. This is the closest thing to a real family I have ever had. I just…. Because of my past, I have a hard time believing in myself or trusting others. I don’t know if I really can do all this hero stuff.”

A small smile appeared on his face. Gar was glad he could change her life for the better and even if she didn’t choose to pursue the superhero life, at least she was in a much better position than before. The hero watched the vibrant redhead once more. “No problem. We’re always happy to help. I’m happy to have helped you out, Eili. I think you’re in much better shape than when I first met you. If you don’t want to pursue the superhero life, that’s alright too. Now you have control over your powers and I think that’s a feat in itself.”

[Text: Teach] I figured. I just have to change into workout clothes. Pjs aren’t workout appropriate.

[Text: Teach] Good to know.

[Text: Teach] That the gym in the tower btw?

[Text: Teach] Picked it up from you.

[Text: Teach] Nah, you’re good. The only time you’re an ass is one you physically shapeshift into one.

[Text: Teach] Dated a guy who wore that brand. They’re nice boxers. The guy though was an ass.

[Text: Don’t send nudes] Am I an ass?

Eili looked up at him and laughed slightly at him. She had overheard Robin scold Gar several times and it always amused her. She smiled weakly when he promised that she was safe with him. “Ok. I guess I can accept that answer. I just…. I don’t know. Things are still so new for me. Maybe I will help be a hero. I want to help, but I just don’t know yet if I can do it.”

“It’s alright if you don’t know what you’re doing or if you’re just not sure.” Garfield replied with a reassuring smile. “Whatever you choose, I just want to make sure that it’s what you want to do. And that you’ll be safe.” Garfield knew eventually that he’d have to make this conversation with her. Though he felt as if he could hold on to her a little while longer, he knew she would eventually have to find her own path after her training was complete. 

[Text: Teach] Also, nice boxers.
