3 Times Meld Was There for Someone Else and 1 Time Someone Else Was There for Him, Part 2
Date: 2014-07-02 04:20 pm (UTC)Meld had always been able to find them. He had no gift of telepathy or enhanced senses, he had no internal tracker to use to find his own, but somehow he could always find the members of his team.
He wondered sometimes if he had threaded the physical substance of his life into theirs so often that they had all become a part of each other in some way deeper than blood transfusions and emotional bonds.
He found Kilter on a park bench overlooking the water of a small lake near the heart of Bellyn. Kilter had led their team as second from the very beginning when they were only small children with powers they had never wanted.
“I love her,” Kilter said quietly, as if he too could sense the nearness of a teammate.
Meld nodded as he sat down beside him. It was a known quantity, the way Kilter could never extricate his heart from Shift. Meld had often watched Kilter study her fierce beauty and the violence in how she moved among the team with helpless desire and love. Kilter loved her. He had always hated that he did.
Meld could never regret loving his teammates. They did what they had to in order to stay alive, and Shift did what she had to in order to keep all of them alive. Whether she regretted that choice or not, every last team member owed her something for having made it.
“She was protecting you,” Meld said at last, breaking the tentative silence veiling deep hurts beneath.
Kilter inhaled shakily. “You knew,” he said. He looked at Meld with something like betrayal welling up in his eyes. “You knew I had a daughter.”
Meld had healed Shift so many times. He had no way of not knowing she had traded her right to a conscience for protection for her child.
He held out his hand, wordless offer.
Kilter jerked his head to one side, jaw tightening in anger. He took it. He clenched Meld’s hand and experienced flashes of Meld’s knowledge, of Shift’s choices, of the burden she had taken wholly on herself to spare Kilter from losing his own right to say no to their handlers.
“She told you now.”
Kilter pulled away, head crumpling into his hands onto his knees. He rocked forward, and if his breaths were too ragged, too wet, Meld would never tell.
+1 Sear
“What are you going by now?” Sear’s matter-of-fact alto rang through Meld’s tiny one-room apartment. “Josh, was it?”
Meld didn’t answer. His eyes felt crusted over and closed with weariness and pain, and even the idea of uncurling slightly on the bed made him wince. How long had it been since he’d healed Rachelle? He wasn’t sure. Time had moved hazily in passing bars of sunlight and he had gone from sprawled across the bed to curled up tightly some time ago. His legs were cramped and sore. His mouth was dry. There was nothing left but small trickles of life generating at an achingly slow pace until eventually, he might feel human once more.
A hand slid under his head and he heard himself mumbling in protest.
She was gentler than he had ever known Sear to be, barely lifting him up as she set something cool and wet to his mouth.
“Drink some water.” Her voice had softened.
He made himself crack open his eyes and regretted it as biting pain stabbed through his head from the light.
“Ssh now.” Sear hushed him gently. “Just be still.”
He swallowed down what water he could then let her lay him back. For once, he let someone else be the healer and breathed slowly, shallowly as he let himself obey her and be still.

Also... the whole let's be still reminded me of a song and maybe you can use it: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/headandtheheart/letsbestill.html

Date: 2014-07-02 07:47 pm (UTC)Meld felt himself smiling despite himself as he looked over the top of a low bookcase to where Sear was carefully shelving music and books with the usual scowl she wore when things got tedious. He had suggested to her once that a bookstore might not be the best place to work.
He shrugged at his team member’s coworker and slid his book across the desk. “No.”
“Uh-huh.” Disbelief colored the cashier’s voice, but he went ahead and rang up the book on his register and, when paid, issued a receipt.
Meld shot Sear an amused look when he took the bag.
She glanced at him—seared him, then laughed at whatever she saw.
Never mind it hurt a bit to have her look at his intentions. Meld couldn’t even imagine falling in love with someone as rough and protective and raw as Sear, but he did love her. Platonically. She was his teammate.
