First impressions
It had taken her awhile, but Grace had managed to locate Defenders HQ. Granted, she got lost a couple of times on the way there....but she was there now.

Her heart was beating loudly and felt like it would fall out of her stomach. Her palms were sweaty and her feet felt like blocks of cement.

She could do this. She wanted to do this for seventeen years. Well...granted, she didn't know who her father was until recently, but she'd still wanted to meet him just the same.

Inhaling and gathering her courage, Grace walked up to the door and pressed down on the buzzer.

	He rubs a hand over his face. He can't bring himself to tell her "no" when she's in a spot. "Be there shortly then." Twenty minutes later, he's moving into the front room, calling for Syd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd came out of the kitchen. She had been helping Sarah start dinner. It kept her busy and kept her mind off the situation. "They're down at the stables," Syd said without bothering with niceties. "Zoey's showing her the horses." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So what should i know? Is she a runaway? Anything like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's from Boston. She's probably around sixteen or seventeen. Blond hair. Blue eyes. Zoey did all the question asking. Grace is absolutely under Zoey's spell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A slow smile spread across his face. "Figures. Thanks, Syd." With that, he heads to the stable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace was still at the stables with Zoey, Halbjorn, and Svalin. "Okay kiddo," Grace said, smiling at Zoey as she turned to her, "Any more animals I should know about? You don't have a flying lion around here or something, do you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope, but Ohu wants a Mongolian Death Worm! That would be so COOL." Though Zoey had no idea what a Mongolian Death Worm was or looked like. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No," says the grown-up, with his arms folded across his massive chest. "No really it wouldn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"SIMON!" Zoey beamed and hugged him. "Simon, this is Grace! Grace came to see you. I showed her Snowflake and Svalin showed her Tryggvi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Umm...." Grace gulped, rubbing the back of her head. "Yeah," she said, her face turning red. "You were friends with my mom? Carol Danvers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-02-06 07:45 am UTC (link)
	"Sure, I remember your mom. We were old friends." He tilts his head and she can see one red eye peering over his trademark shades. "What brings you to California?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Umm...well...my mom uhh..." Grace could feel heart sinking into her stomach, and she tried not to stare at the ground, trying to desperately maintain eye contact. "My mom never really told me who my dad was, you see...and I uhh...started going through her old relationships to see who he might be and I ummm....." She glanced down at the ground, inhaling before she looked back up at Simon. "My father is Simon Williams, you. I'm your daughter, Grace Elizabeth Danvers."

She heaved a sigh of relief. There. She said it.

Simon breathes out. This isn't the first time someone had a mistaken impression.

"You got me on the 'relationship' part," he admits. "But I can't have children." The sting of that never goes away. William, Thomas, Zoey and his co-stars were the closest to having children in his life. Family was right out these days. This was as good as he was going to get.

"I'm happy to do any sort of tests or whatever you want, and you're welcome to stay until the results come in." He shrugs and looks away a little. "I just don't think I can help you."

	Grace sighed. "That's what my mom thought, too," she said, "But...she didn't have any other relationships before she got pregnant with me...other than you. I understand that it seems...impossible. I understand if you want to undergo any tests." (Reply to this)(Parent)
