The sun was shining bright in the sky and the breeze was at that perfect spot where it didn't make things too cold, but it cooled you off enough to not be uncomfortable on the unseasonably hot day. As he stood in line to get coffee earlier, Liam had heard a few girls crying over global warming, but Liam just thought that it was a nice day and they should shut up.

If he was being perfectly honest, Liam was NOT at all even a little bit excited about today. Not that he didn't support Becca and her crazy idea that Raelynn and Gemini would forgiven her momentary lapse in judgement over a nice day at the falls, but the fact that she had begged and pleaded that Liam try to get along with Gemini, which of course he would try....a little bit.

He was now sitting on a bench made of sturdy tree stumps and vines that he had put about there weeks before. His coffee was gone and the cup had been tossed into the back of his pick up truck with much of a thought. His watch told him it was nearly time for the other to get there so he sat and patiently waited.

Becca was more nervous than she ever would admit. She had barely seen Rae since everything went down back at the room, and now she was throwing Gemini in the mix as well. Going to talk to him before hand had crossed her mind, but she didn't go through with it unfortunately. She just had to hope that he could hold it together long enough for them to have a decent time. Pulling up to the parking lot near the falls, she parked right beside Liam's truck and walked over to where he was sitting, her hands in her pockets and her head uncharacteristically down. Despite what everyone seemed to think, she felt terrible about the whole thing and it was weighing on her now more than ever. Hey babe. How long have you been here? She asked, sitting down beside him to lace her fingers with his.
Thank you for coming...I know you really didn't want to, but...never mind. I already said everything a hundred times yesterday. She was starting to get annoyed with herself. Liam should've just told her no so that she could've stayed back at the apartment with him rather than trying to fix things with some hair brained scheme of hers. You're the best though. Just in case I forgot to say it. Now all they needed was Rae and Gem so they could get the party started.

Raelynn was chewing on her lip nervously as she parked the shiny red Camaro SS on the side of a dirt road near what she recognized as Rebecca's and Liam's vehicles. Even though she knew everything should be fine, she didn't want to get out of the car. She sat in the driver's seat, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of whatever song had just been on the radio. Letting out a heavy breath, she finally popped the car door open and stepped out, hoping that Gemini would actually show up. She knew she had every reason to simply bail, and she almost did herself, except for that tiny chance that he might be here. Walking through the trees the way Bex had told her to, Raelynn finally saw Liam and Becca together at the top of what looked like a massive waterfall, "A waterfall?" Raelynn asked in a voice that sounded both terrified and disgusted, "You brought me to a waterfall?"

He parked the Mazda with the other groups of cars. He leaned against it's frame taking the last couple hits off the cigarette in his hand he had quit smoking about the time he started dating Becca and working out but now he had no idea why. He didn't know why he had came and considered getting back in the car and leaving he was beyond furious with Becca and he had no desire to meet Liam, so why was he there? Oh right because Raelynn always got what she wanted when it came to him, and she had wanted him there he thought bitterly to himself.
He put the cigarette out and followed the directions through the trees the way Raelynn had said. If there was one thing that was good about today is that it seemed nice out. He adjusted the aviators on his face as he approached them. Seeing Becca immediately made him want to punch something but he bit his lip instead, He had agreed to come so he'd try to be nice. What up party people?

Well, here it goes. Liam stood up and watch Raelynn approach. He was thankful she had decided to cut off her hair in Vegas because now telling to to girls apart was way easier. But, looking at the side by side, he didn't know how he could have gotten then mixed up in the first place. It is still a black mark in his memory but with Becca's forgiveness he might be bale to get over it. He was about to say something to Raelynn when another person showed up. If anything had ever been more weird than this moment, Liam would have been surprised. Standing next to Raelynn, he reached his hand out, forcing himself to look somewhat amiable, "Gemini, I assume." He said, standing taller in his black t-shirt, jeans and black boots than he had meant to.

Duh, I took you to a waterfall. Because it's the off season, so this place is completely empty. Becca explained to her twin, completely ignoring the male posturing that was going on in front of her. Brushing past Liam with a halfhearted smile, she walked over to the railing and climbed over so that her feet were touching the water.

It was a good thing she had gotten better at this over the past few weeks or she'd be more concerned about everything. She'd pretty much have to go over the falls for Liam to even consider using his powers out in public. Oh, well. It was time to play. Come on, Rae. It's fun. Come out here. Now she was feeling a little bit better, taking a few steps back over the rushing water and holding her hand out to her twin. Rae hated the water and she knew it, but her hopes were already too high for the day anyways.

Raelynn was standing there wide eyed like she had just been asked to jump OFF the waterfall to her certain death, "You have got to be kidding me. Right?" She looked at Gemini like he might get her out of this mess, "You want me to...Becca you're insane." She took a step back. Raelynn didn't like water, as was a natural thing given her abilities, and she didn't really care for heights all that much, especially the unsupported kind. She shook her head, looking at her sisters insistent face. It was no surprise the she caved, Becca had that puppy dog thing down.

Sighing, "Fuck me." She groaned, shrugged out of her Stark Industries back up jacket. Holding it out to Gemini, "Hold this for me?" She asked, looking at him like she might actually consider throwing herself off the waterfall. She straightened her Oakland Raiders tank top and approached the rail, looking down with a face of complete discomfort, "You are insane." She spat at her twin, climbing over the rail and grabbing a hold of her sister's hand, the other hand firmly gripping the railing of the viewing platform where Liam and Gemini still stood.

Gemini reached out to shake Liam's and at the same time that he removed the sunglasses off his face hooking them in the collar of his black t-shirt. He tried to make his voice friendly Liam..Hey had he been anyone else he might have felt the need to puff out his chest a little more but Gemini usually found himself in the alpha male stance 100% of the time. He turned to Raelynn eyebrows raised at her exclamation He took her jacket and glanced over it. This is kind of my favorite thing ever, A Nova corps jacket might be the only thing to top this. Gemini had decided long ago if He couldn't be Star Lord He'd be Tony Stark. He watched as Raelynn climbed over the railing. Please be careful.. He was concerned for her well being Raelynn wasn't the most coordinated person on the planet. Super reflexes not super speed, remember? If She got too far away from him he wouldn't be able to help if need be.

Liam raised his eyebrows slightly at Gemini, who seemed to have real concern for Raelynn. According to all the stories, he was heartless and mean but this guy and the one Liam had built up in his head were two completely different dudes. This was more that lame guy he was in the video the other night. Liam made a mental note not to mention that out loud ever as he said, "Don't worry. Becca's good at this." He said, trying to reassure Gemini of Raelynn's safety, even though he wasn't even sure what kind of relationship was going on between any of them at the moment.

Becca's smile fell slightly at Rae's pretty much open hostility towards the idea, but she recovered pretty quickly whenever Rae gave her her hand. I'm not crazy. I've been doing this for forever. Liam watches me practice. What do you think we do out here? The last part was more teasing that she had intended. And shush Gem. You've seen me do this before with other people at the lake. You know we're fine. It was the first time for the day that she had even acknowledged him because she was slightly terrified that he was going to kill her. Taking a few steps backwards, she tried to ignore the sinking feeling in her chest. This day was not going to go well, was it. You know, if you want me to let go so you can do your thing, I can. Maybe you'd enjoy it more. There was no way she was going to hold on to Rae's wrist while she was playing with fire, but right now the water below them felt as smooth as glass even though it was actually a little more chaotic than usual. Everything was completely under control.

Raelynn was still slinging to the railing and to Becca both as her sister starting stepping further out into the water, "Wait, wait, wait what are you doing. This is good right here." She demanded, almost ripping her arm out of Becca's grasp. She hadn't meant to be rude and the pole seemed a lot more stable to her for some reason. If Becca had blindfolded Raelynn, Rae wouldn't have been able to tell the different between the ground and the water under her feet, but knowledge was everything and she was seriously freaked out. She pull feel the metal pole giving out under her super heat hands as it began to melt. With one last lingering look at Gemini, she pushed off the pole, leaving a melted metal rod when there had once been a nice, sturdy railing. She was standing near the center of the wide river now, trying to get more comfortable on the water, but it just wasn't happening. Fire was not something that could ever be solid enough to catch someone who was falling and the only person in the world that wouldn't kill anyway was Ryan, "Why am I doing this?" She asked her twin, her hands glowing red hot with nerves.

Gemini only acknowledged Liam's comment with a 'hm' He watched Raelynn closely subconsciously moving a little bit more closer to her until he couldn't anymore. He wanted to be a smart ass and tell Becca that he had seen her do a few things over the years that it didn't mean she was any good at them. He was in no mood to be hushed by her, but at the same time he also didn't feel like getting into another fight.

Liam, watching silently from his spot a few feet behind Gemini, and further from the edge of the platform. Raelynn did not look amused or excited to be there and he was wondering if this was such a good idea, “Raelynn, if you don’t calm down, no one will even be able to help you.” He said in a flat voice, like it was the most obvious thing in the world, “He can’t catch you if you kill him in the process.” He said, pointing at her glowing hands.

Defeated. She felt utterly defeated. This had been in the top ten worst ideas ever, even if it was something she had been excited to share with her twin. Apparently nothing. She whispered, pushing Raelynn back over to the railing and tossing her keys to Gemini. Fireball is in the trunk, just leave the keys in the front seat and lock the door. I'll use the code to get in when I'm done. Turning her back to the people with her, Becca started playing with the water in an attempt to calm down. Crossing her legs, she let herself fall slightly in to the frigid waters near the platform so that the current was running over her slightly. Anyone else would think she was about to drown, and with the way she felt now....if she didn't know Liam would probably catch her, she'd almost let go. She had made a mess of things and they didn't seem to be getting any better.

i believe, i believe there's love in you gridlocked
on the dusty avenues
inside your heart just afraid to go

“Becca, what the hell?” Raelynn yelled, glaring at her twin. She got off the ground and brushed some dirt off of her miraculously dry jeans. She walked to the railing and started to climb back over, “You shouldn’t push people.” Not that she was mad, it didn’t seem like such a big deal. Yeah, it was still insane and probably the worst thing ever, but she had to prove she could do it. Sitting on the railing, Raelynn tried to lower her foot on to the water but Becca wasn’t paying attention anymore and Raelynn’s American Flag Converse got soaked through.

Raelynn was about to call out to her twin and yell at her about the inconvenience when she heard something behind her she never thought she would hear again, “Lynny?” Raelynn froze, eyes wide. She couldn’t tell if she was shaking or not, but she felt like she might have been. Turning slowly, Raelynn looked passed Gemini, who was still holding her Stark Industries jacket, and Liam who looked overly concerned about Becca, and she looked right into her mother’s eyes.

She couldn’t bring herself to say anything. For years, she had planned what she would say in this moment, but nothing came out when she opened her mouth. It was like she was scared to be too loud with her mother standing so close. Like a small girl locked in a basement, Raelynn was still and silent. She opened her mouth again, wishing she could say something, anything, but the only word that came out was, “Mommy?” Like it wasn’t obvious enough who it was.

i am more, i am more than innocent but just
take a chance and let me in
and i'll show you ways that's you don't know
