Damon Turner

Natalie never banked on when visions would come for her, and while she didn’t necessarily link being drunk to causing visions, she certainly saw a correlation between the two. As her head pounded with a dull migraine, she blinked her eyes still while continually steadying herself. This was the part she hated; her explanation of how she saw where it was. “I can…more or less sometimes see the future.” She added, feeling ridiculous for even stating it to Damon. It wasn’t something she prided herself on, and certainly not something she would have willingly told Damon unless it came down to this, which it did. “I just so happened to see the future where I found the egg…” She paused, correcting herself. “Where we found the egg. It’s in a tree. One of the birch trees. At the park a couple blocks away. That’s…all the details I remember.”

Damon wasn’t expecting her to really explain how she saw where the egg was, feeling some sort of pride that she trusted him enough to know. He didn’t have an ability, but he knew how important it was to keep it to yourself. With the threat of the institution looming over the whole town, Damon had to keep his brother’s ability a secret too, just as he would with her’s. “That sounds pretty cool, but I guess only when it’s fun.” Having the burden of seeing what could happen to anyone just seemed stressful, and who knew if it was something that could be changed, or if everything was set in stone. Damon frowned slightly, “I guess this means you beat me in finding it. Is this considered cheating?”

“I’m not too big a fan of either of that.” Andrea laughed at his shudder, knowing those words came from experience. Taking a deep breath, she looked out at the calm blue waters, sun peeking through the clouds but still in shade from the trees “Me too. I’ve missed doing things like this.”

Damon leaned back in his chair, taking in the calmness of their surroundings. Even in a small town, the slight business of it all could be overwhelming. “I haven’t done much of this since the move. What made you stop doing this?”

“I’m afraid it’s as close as I’m willing to go on that front. I’m afraid I’m not much of a daredevil on that front.” Seeing Damon’s outstretched hand Rita shook it. She didn’t have the heartiest of handshakes but it was sincere “Rita. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Damon.”

Damon chuckled, he always felt there was no in between when it came to motorcycles. They either loved them or they wouldn’t get anywhere near them. “It’s a pleasure to meet you too, Rita.” He paused for a moment, “Do you mind showing me where the thrift store is? I’m afraid I might get lost.”

[damxnturner]

astralcelestial:

“I suppose that makes sense. Like I said, I don’t know all too much about motorcycles. I had a moped when I was younger but I suspect they are very different vehicles.” She let out a charming little laugh

“There’s a few similarities, but not many. It’s at least a start.” Damon chuckled, holding out his hand. “Name’s Damon.”

Snorting, Andrea shook her head “No, I don’t think he’d be willing to scale a fish. I think we’ll just be sticking to preprepared fish for the time being.” Settling into her chair, when Damon handed her a rod she cast it off, watching the bobber float along, gently moving in the soft waves. “This is much more peaceful than last time.”

“That’s probably for the best. It’s not even the scaling that’s hard, it’s the deboning. Miss one, and your both is cut up for days.” Damon shuddered, remembering vividly from his own experience. He finished up with one of the rods, handing it to Andrea before sitting down in his own chair to prepare the last one. Damon cast off his line, gripping the rod loosely as he waited. “I’ll take this over that any day.”

nataliefxller:

Everything seemed to spin around, and not just because she was drunk. Natalie held onto the man in front of her, trying to steady herself still as the flashes of the golden egg, and sterling silver fell into her hands. From a tree no less. Giving into the realization, Natalie finally blinked at the sound of Damon’s concerned tone. Silence surrounded her for a moment while she took a deep breath, her hand going to her own head after she finally let go of Damon’s arm. “I’m fine.” She grit with a defeated look. This was why she never let herself get close to people. She hated explaining herself. But she also trusted Damon more than most. “I know where the egg is.” She muttered, her pained expression finally easing up. “I…saw it.”

He patiently waited for her to get her stability back, a mix of worry and curiosity running through him. This had never happened before while they were together, throwing him for a loop just a bit. Damon reluctantly let go of her, worried that the alcohol was going to be a problem for this adventure. An eyebrow raised at the mention of the egg, even more confused than he was before. Five minutes ago neither of them had any clue where it was, but now she did? Even her explanation of why was vague, wondering if she had some sort of ability like Axel did. At least that would clear up some of the confusion. “Well, that’s one way to find it first. Do I want to know how you...saw it?”

[damxnturner]

astralcelestial:

“Oh, yes! A leather jacket would be much easier to get, I’m sure one of them has to have some.” Rita’s response was a bit more enthusiastic now that she knew he wasn’t looking for anything too fancy “You know, I haven’t seen many people in town ride motorcycles.”

Damon smiled, thankful for the help. He would have been lost all day just trying to find a store instead of actually buying something. “I don’t ride mine in town either. There’s too much open road around town to be stuck in a smaller space.”

acodexhaddock:

“I’d much rather be sitting anyways.” Andrea got out of the truck as well, helping him set up, feeling much calmer than last time they were alone in the woods. Plus this time she had triple checked to make sure her phone was fully charged so it wouldn’t suddenly die on her again. “It’s a nice change of pace. I don’t even know what will all be out this time of hear but I’m sure we’ll have a good time.”

Damon brought out the last of the equipment, setting it up and making sure the fishing rods were ready to go. “Sometimes it’s not about what you catch. I’m going to end up releasing it anyways. Today is just about relaxing and getting away from the civilization of town.” Not that town was ever really busy, it was nice to hear just the sounds of nature. “Are you hoping to catch stuff and take it back to Theo?”

nataliefxller:

As soon as her lips crashed into his, she felt an odd sense of relief that there was nothing more there. She didn’t feel any sort of attachment, and frankly, liked their musings of tension just the way they left it. Pulling away, Natalie laughed back at him, an unusually large grin pulling at her lips. “God, I’m so glad we got that out of the way so we never have to do it again.” After another moment, she blinked slightly, a drowsiness filling her before flashes of a tree and shiny gold popped into her head. Grabbing onto Damon with one hand and holding her head with her other hand, she closed her eyes wearily, the vision of her finding the golden egg coming to mind. “Fu…fuck.” She muttered as her inebriated mind tried to piece everything together.

Damon laughed with her, grateful that they knew where the other stood without having an awkward conversation about it. Although, if it had been with anyone else but her, he’d feel more uncomfortable about the whole situation. “Agreed, we don’t even need to talk about it happening ever again.” There was no need to bring it up in the future, especially keeping it from getting around. Damon started walking again, hoping his drunken brain was leading him in the right direction. Even if he didn’t know exactly which way that was. The grip on his arm made him stop, turning to look at Natalie, concern growing when he noticed how she looked as if she was in pain. His other hand grabbed at her waist, ready to hold her up if it came to that. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

“Thank you for the no hiking, after last time I’m set for the rest of my life.” Andrea laughed, looking out at the calm waters of the lake, happy that she and Damon are doing this. “It’s been a long while, when I was growing up my family and I went fishing on lake Michigan pretty often.”

“I love hiking, but a nice long break from it is just what the doctor ordered.” Damon got out of his truck, grabbing the gear from the bed and setting up close to the edge of the water. “I haven’t been any time recently, since the move. It’ll make for a nice relaxing day.”

astralcelestial:

“Motorcycle clothing?” That threw Rita off. That whole lifestyle wasn’t exactly her cup of tea, but she had offered to help so help she would. “Well I’m afraid there’s no harley davidson around here, but it might be possible a thrift store might have something. I’m afraid I’m not one for buying that type of clothing.”

Damon chuckled, it was a rather odd request he knew, but it felt important somehow. “No, no. It doesn’t need to be an official store like that. A thrift store should work just fine. I’m looking for a leather jacket.”

Mateo didn’t want to get used to having Damon around any more than Damon did him. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Mandy he probably wouldn’t have a problem for him at all but he had a soft spot for her, and Damon clearly did as well. “Are you under the impression that my only goal in life is to go out with Mandy? Because that is definitely not, nor will it ever be.”

Damon scoffed, “I sure fucking hope not. What kind of life would that be only pursuing a woman?” No matter how amazing she was, Damon hoped the guy had other ambitions in life. “What kind of influence would you be on the kids if that’s all you wanted in life?”

[damxnturner]

Damon pulled his truck up near the edge of the lake, chuckling to himself. “See no hiking this time, as promised.” After the last time they had been near the woods, he didn’t want either of them to have to repeat that scenario. “Have you been fishing in awhile?”

Despite what every instinct was telling her, Rita could help but approach the stranger, hoping she would be able to help “Excuse me, you appear to be lost, do you need any assistance?” Whenever she asked that people didn’t usually turn her down, as she was tall, dressed to the nines with a prim english accent, sometimes she wished she wasn’t like this. 

Damon looked over at the woman, the accent throwing him for a loop. He thought he’d been here long enough to run into almost everyone, but clearly he had it wrong. “I didn’t realize it was that obvious.” He chuckled, “I’d appreciate the help, yes. I’m looking for...well I’m not really sure. I just want a place that sells motorcycle clothing.”

“I’d hope not after twenty years.” she teased him knowing just how funny that would be, in some sad way. “Did he have reason to threaten you?” She knew how Damon could be, but his presence was intimidating alone. It was his nature, how he was cut, but his actions always seemed to follow.  “I’m not accusing you, I’m only trying to understand.” She assured him before continuing. “I tell my clients with abilities that if you don’t want them to be known, don’t use them. Most around his age have full control, if you caught him it was an accident. But if he didn’t want people to know then he shouldn’t do it openly. He should know better than to be careless if he did not want to be seen.” She had a tendency to slip into her legal ways, being more on the objective than apart of it. “I don’t read it either, I was informed by a co-worker of it. Its nothing I care about, rumors will spread one way or another. But you are right, Matt and I are friendly. Not dating, but friendly.” She reminded him, she would always be open about her own relationships. She was happy to talk about it with him, even as he ex, she was willing to have a friendship with him if they both could be mature about it. “I don’t know if I am ready to settle into a relationship, but I would like to get to know some people to have some friends in town. I barely have been able to settle in and Michael doesn’t need another man to leave his life as soon as he enters. But I have a feeling with Pearl wanting to get to know me, you will be sticking around. If you ever wanted to meet him–even if he’s not yours, he could use a strong figure. You might have questionable morals, but he could use a strong figure in his life.”

Damon shook his head, “It’s not like I did anything to provoke it....mostly.” The worst that he had done was a tad bit of stalking, but he’d given up before Matt ended up in his truck. Now, they just ran into each other from time to time, where Damon wasn’t afraid to find ways to push his buttons as much as he could. He wanted her to understand too, and explain what he could in the best way possible not to seem biased. “That makes perfect sense. But he used them anyways. In the grocery store, which I saw. Then as I was driving home he ended up in my truck out of nowhere.” It had almost given him a heart attack at the time, thankfully not getting into any accidents in the process. “The first time it was Pearl, which you can imagine how embarrassing that was for the both of us. I know that most of it is rumors, and I’m overreacting. I get that, but I needed to know.” Damon was self-aware enough to know, being something he had worked on over the last decade at the least. A small sigh of relief escaped him with them just having a friendship. It could turn into more, but at least he had more time to stop it if things still felt fishy with Matt. “I understand that. I never let anyone enter mine and Pearl’s life for that same reason.” Damon didn’t want to bring someone else in after he painted a bad light of Mandy. His eyebrows knitted together at the thought of meeting her son. “You want me to meet Michael?”

Natalie rolled her eyes slightly, as she carefully stumbled out of the place with Damon in sight behind her. Slowly and surely they made it out as she couldn’t stop laughing all the while, before finally clutching Damon’s arm. “You’re gonna…You can…” She stuttered through with a sly grin, before bring him in close. “Go right ahead mister. Be my guest.” Natalie kissed him after another moment, trying to feel something, anything, though it all seemed numb and revolting.

Damon felt like he was a teenager again, something he didn’t realize he needed until now. He was happy to let loose and make a few questionable decisions with someone who felt similar about it. Neither of them looked as if they we’re going to get far, but he was determined to find it before her. A grin was on his face as he looked down at her, “Don’t mind if I do.” Damon was a bit shocked by the kiss, though the tension had been there since they met. Even so, he felt nothing substantial to want to take their relationship any further. He pulled back from the kiss, his face scrunching. “That was weird.”

mothermandy:

“I’m glad that even after our divorce and year apart you still have such a concern for my love life.” she laughed, shaking her head at him. Honestly, her track record was dismal. She needed better men in her life, so maybe him seeing it was a sign for her–if he saw the worst of them then maybe he had a point.  But this was her ex-husband as well, she could never be sure what he was actually getting at with this comment. “What did he do to give you that opinion?” She wanted to know, she knew often times people were not fully themselves with everyone. If Damon saw a part of this guy that was worth telling her about then she wanted to know. “If I hadn’t known better, I would say you were jealous, but I think we both know that’s not it. So what did he do?” She would always love Damon, but he broke her heart worse than anyone ever could. Losing him hurt more than words could convey, but loving him was worse. “Did you see this or did Axel tell you this too?”

Damon stayed quiet for a moment, was he really that concern about it? Or just because of the person it happened to be with? He couldn’t quite decide which on it might be. It wasn’t his place anymore, but if she was willing to listen then he wasn’t going to just brush it off. Damon scoffed, though, at her saying he was jealous. “Of course I’m not jealous.” There was no going back in time to stop himself from leaving and actually help her. It was the one regret he had. “I accidentally found out about his ability, and after all that shit went down and mutants started getting paranoid, he threatened me. And you know how well that goes over with me.” It didn’t. Damon had stopped his old habits since moving to Rosendale, but if Matt kept this up, it’d be hard to stop them from coming back. “No, I didn’t see it. I’m not into that stuff. The last time I read it, there was way too much stuff about me.” Most of which was a lie, and he didn’t want to relive any of that. “Plus, I ran into Matt and all but confirmed it too. Unless, both of them are lying.”
