“Okay - okay, cool.” Apollo says, breathing a small sigh of relief as he sits down. He knows this is probably going to be an awkward conversation all things considered, but he doesn’t want to just leave things hanging. Not with Stevie - he really likes them, more than he expected to, and he just needs to know what it meant. If anything at all. “I guess I just - I wanted to talk about the.. the kiss?”

Stevie does their best to seem casual and calm, but their stomach clenches at that. Oh god. They’d been so drunk, they’d not even been thinking when they gave Apollo that kiss. Well... Not thinking past how attractive he looked and how much they wanted to kiss him. “Yeah?” they ask. “I’m sorry, I was... drunk and--”

Apollo knew what he wanted to say going into this. He knew exactly what conversation he wanted to have, he knew he and Stevie needed to talk about. But now that he’s here, staring them in the face, trying to find the right words - he feels stuck. “Uh -” He says blankly, blinking a few times as he watches them. Just say it, Apollo. “New Years Eve? I - I wanted to talk about New Years Eve, if… if that’s okay?”

Stevie feels their stomach drop, but they keep their expression the same. This might not be as bad as they initially feared. “Yeah, of course.” They gesture to a nearby stool as they sit down on their own--abandoned at some point during their work as it so often was when they got into things. They’re tempted to jump in before Apollo can say anything, but they don’t want to risk putting their foot in it. On the off chance that he’s not mad.

“No need to move. I think I have the wrong room actually.” Nat says with a vague hand gesture. It wasn’t that important really where she was going. “What are you working on?”

“Where were you going?” Stevie asks, thinking perhaps they could help. “Oh. Wings, actually,” they say, smiling when they see Natalia’s natural, feathered wings on her back. “Not all of us are born able to fly,” they add, jokingly. “They were my dad’s.”

“You don’t need to stop on my account.” Ted admits with a smile as he moves around her to get to a different work station where he had left his own project to run back to his office and get some more parts.

“Did you need a hand finding something?” they ask, glancing over at Ted’s work station as they put the pieces back together in the wings. Beside them, they had note papers, scribbled ideas they needed to work on, and tools scattered to be packed up. Not the tidiest of scientists.

leaning back, portia folded her arms, eyeing what the other was working on. “no, sorry, i’m just being nosy. it’s pretty neat, though. what are you doing, darling?” the soft woman asked, head tilting as she tried to work it out.

“I’m servicing my wings,” Stevie explains, picking up another tool and looking over the wings carefully. “Minor fixes to make them work better. And, y’know, brainstorm improvements.”

“ not at all , stevie ! “ gaia smiled. “ i just wanted to watch you– is that okay ? watching you work is fascinating. but i don’t want to be in your way. “

Stevie smiles wide, ducking their head. “Of course that’s okay. Here, take a seat, I’ll um... Yeah. I’m just making some upgrades to the wings. Minor efficency things, kind of like servicing them, y’know?”

“Oh! No, you’re fine. I was just on my way to the bio lab and I needed to grab a few things from down here, plus I like checking up on everyone’s projects,” May explained. “Those are really impressive. Are they for a class?”

“Oh yeah, what’d you leave behind?” Stevie asks, grabbing a tool from beside them and looking for the next piece that they were fixing. Looking up at May, they shake their head. “Nah, just for me. Well, they were my dad’s first, but these ones are mine.”

Apollo can’t keep himself from smiling as he watches Stevie work. It’s wonderful to see their passion, how much they love working on things like their wings, and he’s more than happy to wait patiently - even if the topic of conversation is a little… well, emotional is probably the closest word for it. “No no, don’t move for me - I actually came to talk to you, not to work.”

Stevie grins when they see Apollo, happy to see him. Even if the butterflies in their stomach fluttered when they did. Even if they weren’t sure what Apollo was going to say. Putting down their tools, they looked up, giving him their full attention. “Yeah?” They try not to speculate about what it is that he wants to say. “What’s up?”

[flylikefalcon-archived]

“Hang on, just a second.... There!” Stevie smiles as the wings seem to light up again. Finally they look up at the person next to them. “Sorry, I had to finish that. Did you want me to move?”

Stevie had always been a light-weight when it came to alcohol. They were small, and it just went straight to their head. So nights like New Year’s Eve, where people handed them drinks without them even thinking, could sometimes lead to some... interesting scenarios. Like, for example, Stevie hanging out with one of their crushes, who they were yet to say anything about said crush to. And, hypothetically speaking of course, end up saying, “I really want to kiss you right now,” when he walked them home. That would’ve been enough to make Stevie bury their head the next day, but the kicker came when Apollo was saying good-bye, and Stevie leaned up and kissed them. Only briefly, just a peck, but undeniable. Oh. ...Good night, Apollo!

It had been days, and the few brief times that Stevie had seen Apollo in passing, neither of them had said anything. There’d not really been a chance. Stevie would hope that Apollo didn’t remember either, but he didn’t get drunk like they did. So, truthfully, they’d almost been avoiding him. How he might react terrified them. What if he was mad and didn’t want to be friends? 

Of course, they couldn’t avoid him forever, could they? Paragon was too small for that. Sure enough, barely a week later, Stevie bumped into the speedster. “Apollo! Hey.” There it is, right as they see him. That rush of excitement, that flutter of nerves, and now that twinge of embarrassment.

@volatileforces said: ‘ You suck at talking people into things, you know that, right? ‘

Stevie grins at Naomi. “Aw, come on. I’m not that bad. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?”

Sam does his best to stay calm, to give Stevie the benefit of the doubt as they explain what happened, what’s left her like this. It’s not exactly easy, to see his child so clearly not okay, and he wants to believe it’s not a big deal but it’s not easy. “Okay, Kurt lost control. And you found him. And…?” Sam frowns as he waits for the end of the story, wrapping his arms around Stevie gently. “What happened, Stevie?”

Stevie hesitates before answering. When they do, their voice is quieter, and they feel almost like a child, telling Dad they did something wrong. That someone got hurt. “I’m okay now, okay? But he couldn’t control it, and I was there. He didn’t mean to use them on me. It’s not his fault. But it’s just... tired me out.” That was an understatement, but Stevie knew their dad was protective. They knew that if they told him how exhausted they were, how drained they felt, he’d be worried and possibly furious.
