Reading LotR to the bump, eh? Not surprising, given who's Sue it is, but good choice nonetheless. :)

"I know that, Scott. And I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that you want to help me. But there are some things that not even your broad shoulders can take." Poor Haley lost in her dark thoughts. Kinda heartbreaking. Give him a try, Haley, he might surprise you.

"When it has to do with you and our baby, I can shoulder the weight of the world, Haley. Trust me. I'm strong enough for both of us," See? Also, damn.

Jesus Christ, she was so far off the deep end where he was concerned, she knew it was only a matter of time before she sank. Yeah, she really is in deep. I'm still hoping for a miracle - for all of them. *fingers crossed*

"She'd give you a ration of grief. That's the way Edie is. But once she was done, she'd probably say something about you being all muscled and handsome and that would be the end of it." I don't know who this Aunt Edie is, but I like her already. :D

"Roxxy never held it against you." Good to know Roxxy is ever the rational one of the group. lol

Then Dare disappeared and nearly gave all of us a heart attack. Logan ripped Remy a new asshole for letting her sneak out on him" I don't doubt he did, but Logan should know better than just about anyone how impossible it is to stop Dare from doing just about anything when she gets an idea into her head.

"The fear. How do you live with the fear that the people we go up against might use your kids against you? How does any of your team deal with it?" I mean, I think that fear haunts every parent. Obviously not that some super villain is going to hold a grudge, but just anything bad might happen to them for any reason whether you can control it or not.

"There isn't a villain on this planet that would survive the hell they brought down on their heads if they fucked with one of the children." Damn right! You do NOT want to piss off Team Purple.

Haley wondering if Scott (and Johnny) would still love her if she had been the one to end Creed. If they saw her darker side - followed by Scott's declaration that if someone ever came for her again Dare wouldn't be the only one going after her. *nods* Just.... Yeah.

OMG - she said it! She actually said it. *faints*

Fuck Sinister. I know I've said it before, but I'm saying it again! What a fucking creep!

She was beautiful in her sadness True, but still - CREEP!

Screwing with their genes isn't enough, huh? He has to screw with their hearts and minds too? What a royal fucking bastard!

I caught this typo: It was his most fervent wish for all of his toes. (I'm sorry, but it made me giggle.)

Beautifully done (as usual), bb! Brava!
