Raina nods. "Where to, then?" she asked him.

"She always said she would never leave that house. We could afford it, we lived there. It was ours. She said she wouldn't leave unless...," he turned away and walked back towards the bike.

"Unless what?" She gave, running after him.

He span to her, not having wanted to finish it. He figured she'd have gotten it.
"Unless she died!"

Raina recoiled...backing up a step from his voice....hurt by that....and knowing how he felt. "I'm sorry." she gave...softly, unsure if he would hear.

He turned back away from her, but he heard her words. He just stood there, not sure what to do. He wanted to cry, he wanted to shout in anger, but it wouldn't get him anywhere. All it had done was hurt Raina, someone whom had helped him. It was his loss, and he should be able to take it as he wanted to, but hurting her wasn't what he wanted.

"I had two sets of parents." Raina said softly. "My birth parents, who were gunned down in a drive-by...and my foster parents suffered a similar fate when I was young. I...know your pain."

He turned to her, just looking at her. He took took slow steps towards her and put his arms around her, not saying anything, just embracing her.

Raina buried her face in his shoulder as he embraced her...overcome by the forgotten memory...and a few tears came from her eyes.

He wasn't afraid to cry into her shoulder as he held her in his arms, and so he did just that. The Avatars had taken away his humanity, his life, and caused this now, albeit indirectly.

She held him tighter as he cried, crying some more herself....sharing her grief with the man who's life she'd saved...and sharing his grief in turn.

After he had cried the tears he wanted to shed, he pulled himself back a little, "I'll be here, if you want to cry any longer."

Raina looked up at him, a pair of tears on the tops of her cheeks, just below her eyes...and nodded. "I came to terms with it years ago...but it's still painful to remember."

He nodded, "I imagine it is," he said, "As will this for me, for the rest of my life."

She nodded, weakly reaching up to brush the tears off of her cheeks half-heartedly..
