Home again, home again...
Alisa had a magical night. She was able to reveal a secret that plagued her mind for the past five years, in doing so it felt like the world had lifted from her shoulders. She also got to spend Valentine's Day with Argo, who said he was happy to have spent time with her... and saw her as a friend. He was everything she imagined. he was most kind to her, did not force her to do anything she did not wish to do, held her hand, and he kissed her... he kissed her!

Her face was still a bright red, and she was humming happily as she placed her key into the front door of the home she shared with Ennie. After opening the door, she shut it behind her and re-locked it. This was the happiest night of her life. For once, she felt beautiful and worthy.

"Ennie... a-ah'm home..."

Enteinne knew she was home long before she announced it at the door. He could feel his sister's giddiness and happiness flowing in aether between them to come over and squeeze his heart. He didn't know what caused it, but he knew it wasn't a machine or friends or even him, her own brother. He had his suspicions based on that and it hurt.

He'd done his best to take care of her. To make her happy and keep her safe. And she'd never been this... He didn't want to keep feeling her emotions, the false joy they made him feel, but the only way to rid himself of them was to burn them out. Blow something up. He shouldn't be forced to feel her happiness when all it did was make a mockery of the aching in his heart.

Enteinne ran the water in the bathtub. It was half full when Alisa opened the door and called out to him. He didn't call back, but the burbling of explosions muffled only superficially by water would tell her where he was. He could blow up a little bit of the liquid at a time. A slow burning away of her giddiness, her joy as it washed over his senses.

He was probably a bad person for wanting to feel the anger at her happiness just because he hadn't been the one to give it. Hadn't he the right, though? He'd sacrificed everything all his life and she found joy with others. Probably that Nick fellow. He gave her a job and access to real bike parts and everything that could start her in on a better life. Everything Enteinne couldn't give her.

Alisa's happiness soon gave way to despair. She could hear Ennie in the bathroom, just blowing up water in the bathtub. She sighed, lowering her head and heading towards the source of the noise. Once at the door, she gave it a light knock.

"E-ennie? Please... tell mah dat be you in dere... an' dat n-non one broke in wit' firecrackers..." She knew it was him, but she wanted to bring some humor to him. She wanted to cheer him up.

The boy bit his lip and brought his hands out to rub his temples. He couldn't do anything right. He hadn't even said anything to her and just looking for him brought her from the tip top of happiness to the abiding sadness that had become the norm for the both of them. And Enteinne had just realized he was the cause.

But she didn't need to know that. She deserved to be happy... even if he wasn't the one making her that way. So he put on a false smile and called out, "Jus' me, peanut! What you so sad for, eh? Come on in an' tell me all about what had ya so happy and what got so sad so sudden. Did dat Nick fellow give ya a raise?"

Her smile slolwy returned, seeing Ennie's. Alisa took a seat by the bathtub, looking up at him. She seemed happy again, even excited.

"N-non... but ah did f-finish work ahead o' schedule... way ahead, actually." Alisa gave off a girlish laugh as she looked up at her brother. "Ah... ah was on a date... a... a real date... like de kind in mah romance novels. Y-you know... were two people ju's go out tagether... a-an' talk, an' hold hands..."

Alisa's cheeks flushed as she thought of the time she spent with Argo, how happy she had been, how free. She was able to be herself, as well as confess what had been bothering her for the past five years.

He forced himself to keep the smile on his face. It was actually easier to do, came more naturally, when he didn't try to burn off the emotions. Just let them guide his own and bury them under Alisa's.

"A date?" Enteinne replied, raising an eyebrow and letting his hands dangle in the water, refraining from blowing any of it up. "An where did you go on dis date? Who ya dun be holdin' hands wit'?"

Who did he have to see about killing after his sister was asleep?

"Ah... ah went out wit' Argo..." She blushed more. "He... he was about ta leave de Champions home when he saw mah... an' asked what ah... ah was doin' for Valentine's Day. Told him ah was gonna go home... an' he said... it was unacceptable ah didn' 'ave a date on dis day o' love... so we offered ta take mah out."

Alisa placed both her hands on her cheeks, giggling more. "So... so we went for a walk... an' we talked, an' 'eld hands... a-an' we... we kissed... an' hugged... den ah came home..."

'W-well... like dis..." She smiled, kissing Ennie on the cheek, just giving him a peck. "Why... do you ask?"

He grunted and gave a smirk. That was safe enough. "Jus' curious," he replied.

Splashing her with tub water a moment later.

Alisa giggled, getting splashed with some water. "O-only ah kissed like dat on his cheek, an' den on de lips... but dat was all. he... he was really nice ta mah... s-said ah was beautiful... like you say." She gently splashed Ennie with water back, still all smiles.

He covered the choking that constricted his heart by covering his head and splashing back harder, coughing along with it. How many times had he told his sister she was beautiful and how many times had she never believed it? But Argo tells her... He did his best to squelch the jealousy and anger that threatened to spill out.

Enteinne's hands glowed brighter and he cringed, putting them back under the water to blow up some more of the liquid safely. He gave his sister an apologetic look as the water boiled up in a muffled explosion, "Sorry peanut. You so happy right now I can't do much o'der dan dis. Still can't channel it well, ya know..."

Alisa's eyes were just in shock. She got splashed a bit harder than usual and now looked like a drown rat. She coughed up some water and gave Ennie a look. Something was wrong... his powers were making the water seem to bubble and boil. Again, her happiness fled, and she was left with a rather stone faced look.

"Ennie... you... you ain' 'appy about dis... are yah. Please... jus' be honest wit' mah..." She sighed, just looking at him seriously.

As her happiness fled so did the intensity of the glow around his hands. He lowered his head, sighing, "I'm jus dealin' wit' de overflow o' your feelin's peanut. Nothin' ta be worried about. Dun let my powers actin' up make ya feel bad. Ya had a good night, keep it dat way."

Even if she insisted, he wasn't going to let her know he was mad because she was happy. He was already a bad enough person for feeling it. He'd be even worse if he let her know that.

So he gave another smile and while his body wasn't trying to burn itself up from the inside out, he wrapped his soggy arms around her waist and gave her a hug that he needed far more than she did, "I'm glad ya had a good Valentine's Day. You should have more o' dem."

Alisa sighed, hugging Ennie back. Her eyes closed as she just held on to her twin brother. She was not so sure she believed such. Ennie was always good at hiding things from her... as she was good at hiding things from him. They were both pretty good liars when it came down to it.

She still felt hurt as she continued to hold on to Ennie, her voice a bit soft as she spoke. "Ennie... ah'm tired... tired o' carryin' a boulder on mah... mah shoulders..." Perhaps she should be as honest with Ennie as she was with Argo...

Enteinne squeezed his eyes shut and pulled away. He stood up and took a deep breath, moving his hands to her cheeks and leaning down to kiss her forehead. Completely misunderstanding her.

"S'okay, peanut. Ya don't have ta carry anyt'ing on ya shoulders. If ya tired, go ta bed. I clean up, oui?"

He slid his hands away and headed for the door. At least with her emotions more normal he could finish cleaning up the house before bed.

"N-non... dat... dat ain' what ah mean, Ennie..." She looked up at him, almost a bit distressed, now. "Ah mean... ah been keepin' sumt'ing from you... an' it's weighin' on mah... it jus' feels like it gets heavier, an' heavier each time ah don' tell you..." She placed her hand on his arm, trying to get him to come back and sit down with her.

Her emotions were rising and his hands began to glow brightly. Enteinne was on his knees again, shoving his hands into the water to try and dispel the power running through him. It felt like the feelings that always came up whenever she had one of her bad dreams about the flood. Five years of them and he knew those feelings when she had them.

He shook his head violently and concentrated on pushing the emotions out of him and into the water, which churned and bubbled with the explosions beneath the surface. "Peanut, I know 'bout Katrina. Ya dun need ta tell me all de details. I understand. Okay?"

His voice was a bit desperate, he always had issues being around her when she had those dreams. Holding back the power that wanted to get out when he had to calm her down was always the most difficult. Usually he could hold out until she calmed down and the charge subsided naturally. But after their time in that amusement park, after that deep well of vengence denied that torn through his body, he'd been having a much harder timed even with charge strength he was familiar with. It was part of why he'd been staying at the house more often since then, instead of following Alisa to work. He couldn't handle large levels of unfiltered emotions as well anymore. And it scared him that he could hurt his sister because of it.

"Ennie... mah... mah nightmares... dey... dey ain' about Katrina... ah... ah lied to you. An' ... an' ah'm sorry!" She sniffled a little, seeing his hands back in the water. he was having trouble with his powers... and she knew why. it was because of her... and it hurt. She wrapped her arms around Ennie and just hugged him.

"R-remember... remember when... when you got hurt by yah powers?" She was trying to stop the tears from coming to her eyes. Why was it so much easier to tell Argo this than Ennie?

Enteinne could feel the emotions rising, burning through him. They drowned out her words and all he could do was try to force the power out through his hands.

"Peanut... please... go away."

Did he really want her away? No. Did he want her to be safe? Yes. And unfortunately for him safe meant getting her to move away from him where he couldn't pick up on her emotions so easily.

The water was boiling up and exploding, making it even harder to hear anything as they were both soaked.

Alisa looked even more hurt by this. She slowly nodded her head, getting up and leaving the room. She shut the door behind her, and just walked to the farthest part of the house... the living room. She sat down on the couch, just hugging a pillow close to her.

He told her to go away... he did not want to listen to her... Perhaps he was angry with her all together? Alisa did not know. She was not a mind reader... but she was hurting even more, now.

As her hurt feelings grew so did the power surging through him and within minutes the bathtub went 'boom', shaking the house and sending Enteinne's body into the door of the bathroom. The wood cracked under the force and after the smoke cleared and he woke up, the two would have to deal with getting a new tub and repairing the pipes. But again, that was after he woke up.

Alisa was in utter shock. His powers... he could not handle them, because of her. He just blew up the bathtub and knocked himself out cold, because of her. Biting her bottom lip, Alisa quickly managed to drag Ennie out of the room. She managed to get him to the living room, and placing a pillow under his head, trying to make him comfortable. It was the very least she could do... though it did not feel like much to her.

Her next actions were to prevent the bathroom from flooding by capping all of the loose pipes, and turning off the water. It only took her a few minutes to do that, thanks to her powers. Once she was satisfied with the results, and looking like a drowned rat, she took to the bedroom she shared with Ennie.

It only took her a few minutes to pack up a few items. A couple of romance books, a few shirts and pants, socks, underwear... anything that could fit in her book bag. The best thing for Ennie, was for her to leave... and to leave quickly. Not even bothering to change out of her wet clothes, Alisa slung the book bag over her shoulder and just ran out of the house. She wasn't doing this for herself... it was for Ennie.
