Blood In My Sight
WHO: Tommy & Kyle
WHERE:
WHAT: Tommy needs to calm down
WHEN: 6/26, After yelling at Billy and threatening Riley
WARNINGS: CW: discussions of torture and experimentation on children
This was too much. His anger was still roaring, his blood pounding in his ears, his thoughts running too fast for even him to catch up to. And Tommy just had to do what he could to calm down. He'd tried his island and stopped that when he's knocked into a tree with too much force. It fell over and he knew he was going to bruise badly from it. Then dove into the water to cool off.
Even that wasn't enough so he did the next best thing he could. He took off to find the only person he could talk to right now.
Which was showing up at Kyle's room at the hotel. Doesn't even bother to knock, or even open the door. Just vibes through.
"Kyle," he called, shocked by how raw his voice was from his distress.

"On him, on his powers. That's never good."
no subject
Fingers still gently moving through Tommy's hair, soothing. Kyle has years of practice doting on loved ones.

He was quiet a while before he said softly, "What if someone you trust was with him? While he volunteered."
no subject
Tommy just closed his eyes and wanted to scream.
"IT doesn't matter why he consents, his powers have a weakness, and if that guy wants he can take advantage of Billy."
no subject
Kyle coats considers and then immediately rejects the idea of kidnapping Billy.
"Don't you think that's less likely if one of us is present at all times?"
no subject
"The big dog is going to keep an eyes on him. I saw that briefly. She was angry too.
no subject
"At least there's that. Lauri-Ell can snap most people in half." He sighed and leans down to kiss the top of Tommy's head. "I'm sorry," he said. "I know it's scary. For him, and you."

Then, carefully and gently as can be, "Did you wanna talk about it?"
no subject
That sounds like the least sexy conversation someone could have. Ever.
no subject
It's not really about sexy, Tommy.
no subject
His mind circled like d dog chasing it's tail until he finally sighed.
"After I accidentally blew up part of my school, well, everyone got that my powers meant I couldn't go into a normal jail. Turned out there was an organization that kept powered teens off the streets. Except they weren't all nice people."
no subject
"Which means that they were allowed to do whatever they wanted to you. Oh, Tommy, I'm so sorry."
no subject
He was supposed to be one. Had come out just short of it.
no subject
"They made you do really bad stuff, huh?"
no subject
no subject
Hurt doesn't go away, Kyle thought. It burrows deeper.
"I can understand why you're so worried."
no subject
"If it wasn't for Billy and his team showing up, they would have won."
no subject
"It's not okay that that happened. And it's okay you're scared. It's a little different this time, but... I understand why you're freaked out."
no subject
"My brother is powerful, Kyle. Imagine someone here, not just the Atroma, getting their hands on him."
no subject
no subject
"Billy doesn't use his powers unless he has a very specific image. He knows better than to do it. Because he knows how it can go wrong."
no subject
He thought for a moment, hand finding Tommy's knee.
"Tell me what you think they'll do."
no subject
"This guy can't even accept the idea of people spending the day at a beach, so why should he care about not hurting my brother? And someone that makes his big fluffy guard dog that angry is probably not trustworthy."
