Talos Island.
Beach side.
Neph layzed in the shade of the beach umbrella as she watched Katie's seers and Briar out playing on the beach, Spike the magic bulldog racing between them as they played frisbee. Smiling she looked over at Kate who was slathering herself in sunscreen. "See? Told you this was a good idea."
The Seer nods and sighs. "It is helping the girls adjust, play is important to a growing mind... And gives them a taste of the childhood that was denied them."
Neph watched as the seers used their powers to give the frisbee a life of its own, Spike running his little heart out, tongue flopping out the side of his mouth as he tries to catch the plastic disk. Neph leans over to the cooler and put a Dr Pepper, popping the cap. "Drink?" She offers.
Katie shakes her head. "No thanks, how you can drink that sugary stuff is beyond me, makes my teeth feel funny."
Neph flexed her cyber arm. "Glucose helps the metal work... But to be fair, I grew up on this, you had to drink Enrich."
Katie sighs. "Don't remind me, artificial juice with mind control drugs. Bleah."
The cyborg chuckled and looked out, Briar now tired of chasing the Frisbee, was using her earth powers to shape a sand castle. "She is a good kid, you make a great mum Katie."
The seer elbows her. "We make a good mom, but yeah it was easy to get the adoption papers done... I have done it like... Twenty times with the other seers."
Neph smiled. "Lots of Douglas's out there now."
Katie smiled back. "I always wanted a big family hun."
Neph nods and takes another sip of her soda. "I'm a bit young for mother hood."
"You mean Tish will murder you if you make her a granny?"
"That too, give a year, when I'm twenty, they we will see."
Katie nods, putting the sun screen back in her bag, fingers brushing against a ring box.... Not yet. Not yet.
