Little Matthew Stamets looked up at the Stellaviatori forest with wide eyes, gasping and watching the spores move around him. “Daddy! Daddy look!” He said, jumping, watching the spores follow him. He frowned a bit when he saw Daddy was distracted talking to the other adults, even Abba was distracted as Daddy spoke. He snorted and looked at the mushrooms again, pouting. “Why are grown-ups so boring? I wish I had someone to play with,” he kicked the dirt, grumbling a bit.

"Dad....do you think it's permanent? What he did to me? Or was I--always like this? I killed people, and. And I enjoyed it. And I know I shouldn't say anything, not when you're--but I just--for a while, I really thought I could be human, and..." 

Slowly, softly, he sighed. He supposed he knew this conversation was bound to happen. He wished it didn’t have to, though. That she never had to have been hurt. He would have liked her to never know a day, a single moment of pain. “I don’t.” A pause, a moment to think. “He hurt all of us, and made all of us do things we never would have done on our own. It’s not our fault. It’s not your fault.” Another pause and an exhale, accompanied by a faint smile. “You are...astounding, Vera. Your very being, your existence is remarkable. You have exceeded every one of my expectations, and you have become an extraordinary person. You can become anything you want to, and nothing he did to you will last if you don’t want it to. You’ll heal. We all will. You will be more than he ever thought you could be.”

“irrational and stupid fear of upsetting a superior officer. i’d rather suffer whatever wrath i will to do this.”

He had finally realized, after two extraordinarily tense meetings in his ready room, that perhaps his new companion’s odd behavior was less a product of their personality than the situation. When a woman has very, very bad experiences with a captain who liked to corner her alone and had manipulated and possibly abused her, then perhaps you don’t meet her alone, you idiot.

So he’d spent a decent amount of time scouting out the perfect meeting spot (not too crowded, but a public space with people), then reread his message three times over before sending it. 

The dining hall. It was perfect. He had his best Respectful Gentlemen skills out, holding out the chair but not pushing it in, offering to get her something to drink and making sure she could see it, and generally talking a lot. One said it was what he did best. 

“It occured to me that perhaps a public space was better for us to meet,” he said when the conversation slowed. He’d debated whether to bring it up, but eventually his mouth made the decision for him. “Does this place work for you?”

@myceliumprotected liked for SQUIP

“You life was so pitiful before,” Squip walked up to Vera and looked at Paul with a cocked head, he knew the human couldn’t see him, so he looked at Vera. “But you need an upgrade. This human may need to be one of the first ones you need to change. He’s so sad and depressed, not the kind of person you should be around.”

@myceliumprotected and Cool Uncle Mark™

“Hey there, Vera,” Mark smiled, sitting next to her on the couch. “Someone told me that you were pretty cool,” he turned to face her, he wasn’t sure how she felt about people touching her and he didn’t want to risk making a bad first impression. “I’m Mark. I’m your dad’s brother. Paul’s brother, to be specific.”

“Vera,” he smiled softly, staring at his mycelial sister. “Boy am I glad to see you,” Matt was always glad when he saw her or Glenn. They had been there for every important part of his life and he knew he could trust them with anything. He beamed, his eyes lighting up as he took off his jacket, tossing it on his bed. “I have had a long day at work, but boy am I glad to see you! It’s been a while. I’ve been so busy with work I forgot to call. How’s your universe?”
