Amber runs over and hugs him tightly...

Amber: Why did you stay away so long?

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"I don't know. I thought I knew but...I asked myself that the whole flight..."

[Cryonix]

Amber: What's been bothering you so much? Here...come in, sit down. I'll pour you a drink. Tapped root beer, right?

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"That sounds wonderful yeah..."
he takes a seat

[Cryonix]

She pours two tall glasses full of root beer and slides one down the bar...

Amber: Now...talk to me hon. Please?

[Jabberwocky]

He takes a sip of the drink. Smooth and refreshing
Colin:"What do you need to know?"

[Cryonix]

Amber: Everything. What's been going on with you. Why you took so long...

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"Where to start...To be honest the events in Bermuda left me confused about a lot of things and questioning myself...She called, you know? Lilith...Didn't say anything but I could tell it was her...She only did it once. Honestly don't know whats going on with that anymore. Maybe...maybe they moved on I don't know. But I started getting these thoughts that...I was just going to unintentionally or not get you into all these situations that you shouldn't be. That if you were with me...something might end up happening to you and...I couldn't bare that thought. It wasn't even because of them, I figured that out after a while. It was..."

he sighs

"Ever since I saw my parents...the marriage they had...that...I thought was perfect...fall apart...I'm scared of commitment...Almost as scared as I am of being alone."

[Cryonix]

Amber is quiet as he explains...

Amber: Colin...honey...you're not your father. The more you worry about not doing what he did...you'll end up doing it. Your sister turned out alright...and you helped raise her, right? Now its time to worry about yourself...not your dad, or Moira or Alexis....just you...and me.

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"I know I..."
he starts to choke up
"Why did you bother with me?....I...You're so good to me...
tearing up
and I...I've treated you so poorly...I don't even deserve you but....you stayed....."

[Cryonix]

Amber kisses him...

Amber: Simple answer, silly. I'm in love with you. There's no one else for me...but you.

[Jabberwocky]

Colin clings on to her; his arms, his whole body, tight against her

Colin:"Maybe I'll never get why you love me. But...you have no idea how good it feels to know you do."

[Cryonix]

Amber hold him back. She doesn't let go...she just lets Colin breathe her in and enjoy...

Amber: So...when are you going to feel comfortable about telling me about what happened between you and Micah?

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"...What about me and Micah?"

[Cryonix]

Amber: It looks like you and him have this very close bond. What happened?

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"We...went through hell and shared the same Devil together...I survived it because of him and I'm sure he survived partially because of me.."

[Cryonix]

Amber sits back with a half smirk...

Amber: So...nothing at all...sexual...happened between you two? I mean, I know Micah a little bit and he seems like he'd be bi...so...

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"...Sexual uh...Wait how could you tell he's bi?"

[Cryonix]

Amber looks deadpan...

Amber: Honey....what was my former profession?

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"I...know that....But, I mean you had guys coming to you...or you too them...either way, its not like you worked with a guy and the client picked one or both of you...Well...either way yeah he is."

[Cryonix]

Amber: Colin...did you and Micah sleep together?...and if you did, how did that come about?

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"We...we had been traveling a lot with his father. As usual the days training was long and sadistic. He wanted to break us as much as train us...Hell most days I'm sure he said yes to training us so he could have the chance to break us before anybody else could...During dinner the abuse kept going. Normally it was focused more on Micah but that night he really had a bone to pick with me. A while later I realized it was the anniversary of the night my dad and him first won the tag belts... Eventually the bastard had enough to drink and went to bed....All three of us had separate rooms, and thats where we went. My room was freezing...so was I. Not just body heat. I felt on the urge of breaking down. Any more and I would have broken like he wanted...
I went to Micah's room for at least some spare blankets. He said there wasn't any but I was welcome to stay...We started talking...About our childhoods...all that we had in common...We had a bit to drink...Normally I don't, you know...But that night I probably would have taken heroin if you told me it would take the pain of that abuse away...
I tried to sleep but...I laid in the fetal position on the brink of tears, shaking, wondering what the hell I was doing in the first place. I was determined to not quite physically...but mentally I was at the tapping point...
Micah he...comforted me...made me feel needed...safe...loved..."

[Cryonix]

Amber: Oh...I see. It only happened once? Cause...something emotional like that...might prompt you to do it again.

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"Umm...twice...actually...Montreal..."

[Cryonix]

Amber: Ah....curiosity got the best of you, didn't it?
