She had to stay calm. Of course. Nothing to panic about. Just one of the world's most powerful mental patients going toe to to toe against her baby boy.

Yes, yes, Solver was a teenager now. Like that was supposed to help.

She was helping Solver's Little Friends -- or, rather, the New Avengers; it was hard to remember sometimes -- with crowd control. And at around the ninth starstruck girl wearing S-rune accessorites, Vernique wanted to shake her and say that no one was worshipping her son while wearing tacky Flamingo lipstick.

Finally, when it was all over, and all emergency concerns were dealt with... "Sweetheart, can we talk?"

	Being who he is, he has to deal with everything he really can before he settles in. Once he gets to that point, though, he's more than happy to make time for his mothers -though the concern in her voice definitely has him worried already. "Of course. What's the matter?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

Vernique takes a breath. "This is all going to be really silly, and you're just going to have to put up with it. But -- okay, so your father. We don't remember a lot about him because of all the timey-wimey stuff, but whatever else he was -- and he was a lot -- he was human. I remember that he was nice Midgard boy. So whatever else you are, you're human, too, sweetie, and I've always wanted to make sure you knew that. That doesn't make me any less proud of all the ridiculously incredible things you do, but... you know nobody can make you be anything or do anything, right?"

Before saying anything, Solver hugs his mother. He remains that way for several seconds, considering how best to respond. He knows this has to do with Asgard, prophecy, and all of that. Its hard for a lot of people to deal with - including him, now and then, given all he's done. She's right - he's human, in ways some gods will never understand, and a God of the Sun in ways some humans will never get.

	And she just sits in that hug for a bit, then listens. "Good. Thank you. I needed that. This isn't some kind of 'just do whatever you like,' thing. I'm not stupid. But there's a difference between doing and being what you like and what you chose and.... it's just good knowing for sure that you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You taught me better than that. And besides, even if we're dealing with all of the prophecy - there's still choices involved. There may not be for some people, according to that... but for me, there is. Really, that's the whole point - always knowing that I have to make the right choices... but they're still choices. And I choose to try and be a good person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eesh, yeah." Vernique smield wryly. "Goodness, I remember the days when we were basically all just treading water to handle the crazy situations as they came up. Now, you just dive in. I am so proud of you, Solver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And she hugs him again for a little while. Part of her curses time for letting him get this big, but the rest of her knows that producing a young man -- god. whatever -- for the world was kind of the whole point of a raising a son.

"Okay." Another wry smile. "I'll stop getting all sentimental on you. Wouldn't want to end up asking flash flood victims in Laos to be the ones who didn't get noticed because The Scion's mom was being clingy."
