MELISSA: ( expectmcre )

“Maybe.” Melissa hesitated. Her inner voice warning her to still be wary of people asking for her sister and Mulder. She wanted to trust the young woman before her, yet Dana had often enough warn her not to believe what she could see right away.

❝ you um...you look like her. ❞ jackie knew there was every chance that remark could get her thrown back in a loony bin of some sort. she’d had enough shrinks for a lifetime. ❝ are you HER SISTER or something ? ❞

NAMESAKE: ( expectmcre )

“I didn’t give it.” At least she did not voice her name aloud yet. “Excuse me, who are you?”

❝ i um...JACKIE. i’m jackie. you don’t...do you know someone named DANA SCULLY ? ❞

#expectmcre

❝ sorry...i um...i don’t mean to be RUDE i just...what did you say YOUR NAME was ? ❞

❝ you’re going to have to COUNT ME OUT on that front. maybe ask one of his numerous ex-girlfriends? there’s gotta be at least one who’s been burned hard enough. ❞

❝ i thought you were supposed to be THE COOL PARENT. what a let down. ❞

MOM:

SCULLY DOESN’T WISH TO CLOSE her daughter off from her past, even if it worries her that melissa is looking back, so she nods with a smile on her lips; the woman only hopes her daughter doesn’t see how shaky the expression is. “ i know it’s not… easy giving things up, but i’m here, melissa. so is your father; we can help you through this. ” her hand leaves the girls’ arm and settles in her hair, caressing the darker strands slowly and calmly.

WITH THE CHANGE OF SUBJECT, though, scully doesn’t dwell on their previous topic, understanding exactly what the other is doing. “ my father used to call me starbuck… not only is it a great book, but it holds a lot of memories. good ones. ” she shrugs, though is careful not to jostle melissa’s head too much. “ do you have a favorite book? ”

she has a brief desire to tell her mother SHE’S USED TO IT, that leaving people behind has become old hat for her. but she suspects that’ll just make her sad, so she just lets the subject move along. BOOKS, though, oh books she could discuss for days. as an only child of older parents, she’s learned to keep herself company, and books were A MAJOR SOURCE of that. they also provided an ESCAPE for her, and explanations for the things her parents couldn’t.

❝ gosh, do i ever ! i mean...picking one is hard. i’ll go with one fiction and one non-fiction because they’re DIFFERENT. non-fiction, you’ve gotta go malcolm x’s autobiography. and fiction...i mean there’s a lot, but...well i LOVED the chronicles of narnia when i was a kid...and there was something about THE HORSE AND HIS BOY that just...stuck with me. ❞ secret royalty ? teenage runaways ? finding out one’s TRUE IDENTITY ? of course it spoke to her. ❝ but hardly anyone’s ever read the full series. i usually have to settle for talking about the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. which is like...FINE, but not my favorite. ❞

MOM:

MUST MELISSA ALWAYS CALL HER out in this way? then again, the playful jabs they share are what scully lives for now, and just having her daughter at her side means the world to the woman. “ language. we don’t say those words in this house unless we’re attacking someone. ” though it’s meant as a joke, they both know better; they live a dangerous life, even if all seems safe for now. welcoming the younger woman closer, an arm will wrap about melissa’s shoulders, hand lightly scratching up and down the other’s upper arm. “ everyone okay? were you able to catch up with any of them? ” scully assumes she means she checked up on her friends through social media or a phone call, but one can never be too sure.

melissa offers ANOTHER SMALL SHRUG. truth be told, she doesn’t really dare to reach out to anyone, figures it’s better to just start fresh. but it’s a lonely existence, and the temptation is definitely there. ❝ a little bit. most of the people i’d ACTUALLY want to talk to... ❞ she still remembers maddy’s reaction when she showed up at sarah’s house. she was right to be defensive, really. ❝ i figure it’s PROBABLY BETTER i just...leave that life behind. i just wanted to be sure they were all okay. i’d hate to think anything i did ended up getting them HURT. ❞

she swallows a lump in her throat. she doesn’t like mulder or scully seeing this side of her. she feels like it makes her seem UNGRATEFUL. searching for something to deflect to, she holds up the book in her hands. ❝ what is it with you and this thing anyway ? it’s kind of a weird favorite...even for A SUPER GENIUS. ❞

Mulder unironically dabs. Jackson has to tell him to stop. Scully is confused.

WHAT ELEMENT ARE YOU?

DARKNESS.

You are often misunderstood and judged quickly. Yet if people only took just a bit of extra kind effort to you they would see something wonderful. Mysterious yet much more simple than others misperceive. You get many things that just don’t click for others. You see the truth for what it is and you embrace it while others sugar coat it. You have low tolerance for ignorance, though you may come off a bit arrogant yourself. You could stand to reflect a bit more and you will find a lot of your isolation issues are due to self sabotage. Though you may enjoy your alone time, no one truly enjoys being alone. Don’t fool yourself. That aside, you are a rare beautiful truth in this world of fake. tagged by: stolen from @chasingparamasturbatoryillusions tagging: anybodyyyy!

MOM:

IT’S BECOME A NICE ROUTINE to come home to melissa, and while scully had never minded coming home to mulder, this just feels… nicer. more special to her. even if it means her first child is somewhat insulting one of her favorite authors. “ first of all, you’re grounded. i don’t care how old you are, you don’t get to say those things about melville. second of all — yes. probably. ” she sets down her bag finally, striding towards her daughter and plopping down beside her on the couch. “ what have you done all day? ” she’s only joking about grounding melissa… for now.

❝ SEE, i don’t get how you can say yes to that question and still berate me for shitting on him. i mean look, there’s leaving things to interpretation and then there’s just BEING AN ASSHOlE. that’s all i’m saying. ❞ she lets out a breath after her tirade and finally looks at her mother, soft smile creeping onto her face. ❝ SORRY, hi. ❞ she scoots over, head nestling itself into her mother’s shoulder. ❝ not much. honestly, i mostly checked up on friends. i kind of...DROPPED OFF the face of the earth for awhile, and they were all pretty scattered anyway cause i went to lots of different schools. ❞ a self-deprecating shrug. ❝ i just WORRY about them, i guess. ❞
