\u201cNo.\u201d Summer spoke softly, but let her tone be a lash. She reached out for Lex\u2019s wrist and drew the other woman close, putting an arm around her shoulder. Without her consciously being aware of it, the corresponding wing flexed and spread, cupping Lex in a greater embrace.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t take more blame than is yours already. Bad luck, your timing, yes, but don\u2019t crush yourself under it.\u201d She looked Lex right in the eyes, ignoring the tears. \u201cHe\u2019ll need you, then, if he\u2019s to cope with this. Loki is \u2026 Loki can be cruel. Some of him, anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biting at her lip, she pulled on Lex\u2019s pain and guilt, drawing it in, trying to lance the ache just a little bit. \u201cThere, shhh. Hold on to me. You can let it go, now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lex felt herself suddenly embraced by Summer\u2026 and then her wings. Feeling that sudden warmth just made her cry harder, sobbing each time she tried to breathe or speak. She buried her head in Summer\u2019s shoulder, clutching her neck with her right hand. She hadn\u2019t shed a tear about the whole issue since that fateful night where Magnus had threatened her. Since that moment, she had been in a constant state of shock, letting the things happen and trying to do something to avoid that everything got worse, but terribly failing at it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Summer tried to soothe her with words; Lex was trembling as she made another attempt to speak. \u201cI can\u2019t- I\u2026 I can\u2019t get through to M-Magnus\u2026\u201d Lex whimpered, \u00a0 \u201cHe\u2026 wants to kill himself now, and I can\u2019t let that happen, Summer\u2026 I want to help him, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Suddenly she felt a warm, comfortable feeling slowly running through her, and she realised it had to be Summer\u2019s ability as an empath.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Of course you do.” Summer ran her hand down Lex’s hair. Fire, for this, later. “You will, but first you have to help yourself. Can’t ease him all tied in knots yourself, now can you?”<\/p>\n

She wondered how long, exactly, the other girl had been holding on to this, thinking that refusing the tears made her strong. In Summer’s experience, that only led, in the end, to an overflowing explosion that made things worse before they got better. But maybe she was biased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
