nerdherdchuck | TM #276 - Are you an only child? Write about your siblings or lack thereof.

I have one sibling, my older sister Ellie. I live with her and her fiance Captain Awesome in an apartment in Echo Park.

Ellie and I get a long very well. We look after each other. And...we especially have ever since our parents left us. Ellie sorta took on the duel role of being part sister, part mom. I dunno if I ever really filled the 'man of the house' role, though the fact that Devon actually asked me if it was okay to marry Ellie was pretty special.

I know Ellie wants what's best for me. She often tries to get me to move on with my life. I know she'd like me to kinda...well, leave the Buy More, at least. Maybe move out on my own? Though she definitely doesn't want me to get a place with Morgan. THAT she made perfectly clear.

[Visible to Sarah and Hiro]

But I kinda...I kinda wish Ellie could know what I'm doing. I know she'd worry about me and my role in the spy world. Plus it might put her in danger.

I just hate lying to her. And I don't know what would happen if she ever found out. She was awfully close during the 49B. I mean, if she hadn't turned back to talk to her co-worker, she would have seen me dressed as a doctor and some strange lady dressed as a nurse.

Yeah, like I could explain that one...

Thanks Hiro. I'll let you know what happens.

Please do. I would like to meet your father.

He's...an interesting person. If I can, I'll introduce him to you.

ooc: I'd so love it if someone played Steve. I can dream at least. *g*

I bet he is smart, too. Both you and Ellie are very smart.

OOC: That would be great!

Oh, he is. He built the Intersect. Well, most of it anyway.

Honto? That is why he can take it out, yes?

He thinks he might be able to but he's not completely sure.

But at least there is hope!

There is.

Hiro...I did some...really crazy things to try to find my dad today.

What happened?

You remember the story of my ex, Jill?

ooc: I won't spoil if you haven't seen the episode yet.

*Hiro nods.* She is in jail right now, is she not?

She...she was. But she had information that might help me find my father. It sorta lead to a dead end at first but then we got a clue as to where to find him.

She seemed to be more like the Jill I remember. It was weird, Hiro. And...this time...I...well, she held up her end of the bargain. So, I let her go.

And Jill escaping didn't go over well. Or maybe the General doesn't want me to find my father. But in case case....I'm in trouble now. The General wanted to have me put underground. And Sarah seemed to start to go along with the plan and lied to try get me to follow her to the Castle. But then she whispered the truth to me. She committed treason, Hiro. For me.

We're going to find my father but...I'm worried what might happen to her us. The consequences of us running off...if they catch up to us...
