My father was never interested in any kind of fantasy. I suppose it was the nature of his ability.

Or...maybe it just never appealed to him anyways?

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2010-12-24 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably very true. He always thought my head lived in the clouds.

I still say there's nothing wrong with escapism through sci-fi and fantasy.

Me as well, but my father just was not fond of that kind of thing.

I would say that, but I know my father did not care.

Your father was a scientist. Did he believe in the impossible?

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh he did. He loved sci-fi too. He bought me the Tron poster I have in my room.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
That is great! At least he understood where you were coming from.

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That's why I never wanted to take it down. Even when Ellie said I was too old to have it in my room.

Older sisters do not understand these things.

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I mean, it's more than just sci-fi fandom love with that poster. It has sentimental value.

She seemed very upset about your father. Perhaps she was trying to get you to "let go". I am glad that they got to see each other again.

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible. She thought we'd never see him again.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Much as I will never see my father again (unless I go back in time), at least I knew what had happened.

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes I wish I could go back to see my Dad. I mean, I know why he disappeared but I wish I could get back all the years that he was away.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2011-01-04 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I would do that for you, but it would probably change a great deal that you cannot afford to have changed.

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-04 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
*sighs* I know. Given all the things my Dad was involved with, I probably would have been in danger. And maybe I'd have been brought into the spy game earlier and never met Sarah or Casey.

And you would be a very different spy than you are right now.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2011-01-04 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you do not mind if I say I am not certain I would want to know that man. Sarah, at least, loves you as you are and does not want you to be a cold spy.

[identity profile] nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com 2011-01-04 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
And I don't want to be one either.

I thought I'd have to prove I was a 'real' spy but it was Sarah that thought me to just, well, be me.

I think you are a far better man for it.
