It took Clint and Selene another day or so to finally get Jack to the house to see if Selene knew anything about Jackson's Omega base. He was not really looking forward to it, but it did help that James as providing moral support. "It's not too late to just hide." Clint said as he looked over at Selene. |

“I can honestly say I’ve never just hidden from anything.” Selene said as she rummaged in the cabinet for a mug. Reaching to the back she pulled the first cup her hand touched out. She dropped some chamomile leaves in a tea ball and filled it with hot water. Despite what she said hiding didn’t sound like a bad idea but this whole thing was pretty much her idea and necessary. She was actually starting to feel sorry for Jack he was about to experience everything she had at the hands of Jackson and K’n’zy. Seeing someone who looked like you do something so horrible had to take a toll. Selene reached into the cabinet and fixed a second cup for Jack figuring he’d probably need something to calm his nerves as well. She covered his cup with a saucer to keep it warm and picked up her mug. Just as she was about to take a sip something on it caught her eye and pulled back slightly to read the wording. “Clint...when did you get this?” Selene inquired as she turned the mug so he could read Abby’s name printed on the side. |

"Oh..." Clint said as he looked at the mug. "One of the guys gave it to me... I was going to toss it. But... couldn't bring myself to do it. That and Khan keeps slipping and calling you Abigail. Thought I'd be tossing both of you." |

“I’m glad you didn’t.” Selene said as she smiled at him and took a sip of her tea. There was a time when even seeing Abby’s name on a cup would have gotten to her. She would never get over it but It seemed she had finally come to terms with it. |

Clint smiled and pecked her cheek. "I think I hear Jack coming... he really needs to fix that engine." he looked out the window. "Yep... oh... great. He brought Kinsey and MC." he winced and gave a weak. "Yay..." |

“Just remember they’re going to feel just as awkward as us.” Selene said as she moved over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. “It also helps to keep repeating their names. It worked for me. I don’t call you Jackson anymore.” |

"I'll try to keep that in mind." Clint said as he walked over to the door. "You know you two can just come in... it's unlocked." "Would be rude... but thank you." Jack said as he waited for Kinsey and MC to come through the door. "Hello Selene." he said with a smile. "Thanks for letting MC spend the night so often." |

Selene repeated Jack’s name over and over in her mind as her grip tightened on the handle of her mug. He was thankfully clean shaven and it made him look less like Jackson but it was still enough to cause a reaction. “You know she’s always welcome and I don’t think James minds either.” Selene said with a forced smile as she took a sip of her tea. |

"He's all she talks about." Jack whispered and saw the two kids run off together. "Kind of cute actually. About time she's got a friend her age." he looked around at Kinsey. "I get the feeling she doesn't want to move the desert with us. I'm seriously looking forward to it." |

“I can imagine and Mac is always welcome.” Selene said and took another sip of her tea. “Would you like a cup of tea?” She added trying to sound relaxed and hospitable. |

"Please... had to practically kick start the convertible, I guess months of it sitting took its toll." Jack said with smile and walked into the kitchen. "You seem relatively relaxed, even though you aren't." |

“I’m a spy.” Selene said with a smile over her shoulder as she walked into the kitchen to grab his mug. She gently removed the saucer from the top of the cup and will her hand not to shake as she picked it up. “I can appear to be a lot of things.” She added, handing him the cup. |

"That's all we can do sometimes." Jack said softly and took the tea. "Thank you." he walked over to the living room and sat down. "So, Clint tells me that Kalia Lei is around... that's not something I saw happening. Let me guess, she wants to know if you know anything about Omega base." he shook his head. "That bloody command module, it's as hard to scan through as my pod. Could be because it's similar tech. But... I think I can help." |

“She thinks I heard or saw something that could help find it. I think there might be something more.” Selene told him and suddenly found the contents of her mug rather interesting. “I know you removed whatever it was that was allowing Jackson to get inside my head from a distance. But...there are times when I still have that urge to go back. I know that if I got in a shuttle right now I’d be able to find them or I at least feel like I could but I couldn’t sit here and tell you where they are or write it down it's just a feeling.” Edited by Selene Cross, Jul 22 2016, 12:54 AM.

Jack nodded his head and looked at her as he took a sip of his tea. "Possibly they blocked it from your conscious memory. Made it so you could find your way back, but not be able to tell others." he cocked his head slightly. "Not entirely easy to get through but not impossible." he took a deep breath. "It would mean I would have to see a lot of things, but... I can always re-suppress the memories so they don't haunt you too much more than they already do. You know I'm a far more gentle telepath than they are." |
