[athru]

We'll find something. Then you can take it home, right?

[ 'Home'. She said it. She'll be there one day too. ]

[axiomed]

I'll be sure to put it in a safe space.

[athru]

We can take more when I come back, too.

[axiomed]

[ He nods. ]

That sounds like a good plan.

[athru]

I have good ideas sometimes.

[ The non-murderous ones, at least... ]

... It'll be a school again? Home?

[axiomed]

[ Home. Charles looks away briefly. ]

It'll be a school.

[athru]

... I hope they'll like me.

[axiomed]

[ With his usual self-assurance. ]

I know they will.

[athru]

You have to say that. You're my brother.

[ But she's smiling all the same. ]

[axiomed]

That doesn't make it any less true, you realize. And it is my school.

[athru]

So you'll make it a rule, Professor?

[ She just shakes her head for a moment. ]

I know... They'll have seen Washington. They won't understand. Maybe that's what I'm worried about.

[axiomed]

[ He shakes his head. ]

They have to make their own choices.

[athru]

I'm not sure if I want them to think about Washington or not.

[ Shaking her head, she leans against him, smiling fondly. ]

At least you know the truth.

[axiomed]

I don't think it can be helped. It was pivotal.

[ And that was why time boiled down to this one action - this one moment. ]

And they saw the truth.

[athru]

[ Tilting her head, she raises an eyebrow. ]

I'm not exactly the hero they think I am.

[axiomed]

No. But they saw something heroic.

[athru]

[ She says the next part quietly. ]

You know you were the real hero, Charles.

[axiomed]

[ He shakes his head. ]

No. All I did was admit the truth.

[athru]

Which isn't exactly easy, you know.

[axiomed]

[ He knows that. But Charles had help from himself - which seems a little self-serving. Even if the advice amounted to taking on other people's pain. ]

I wouldn't say it is - but I had a lot of help as well.

[athru]

[ Raven leans up, kissing his cheek. ]

Either way. I just wish people knew you were there too.

[axiomed]

It's probably for the best that they don't.

[athru]

I suppose it would be a pain for the school, wouldn't it?

[axiomed]

That, and I'm not interested in getting recognition. The less I'm known, the easier it'll be for me to set up the school.

[athru]

That makes sense.

[ Raven thinks she doesn't want to be well known either, but she can hide - and hide, and hide. No one will find her unless she wants to be found. ]
