Gabrielle was walking around the city, trying to clear her head. With a baby on the way there was a lot of preparation to be done. Cots, nappies, baby food, prenatal classes... They'd even have to move to a proper house in order to have enough room, though that would be easy. Money wasn't an issue, that was certain.
But with Harken so tired all the time now it wouldn't be easy caring for the little thing. Hopefully the rest would pitch in too...
She sat down on a bench, wishing she had brought a notebook and pen with her to work this all out. Now and again she would rub her belly absently.

Atlas sat down on the bench next to her, he had a mild dark glow about him, He has connected with the void not long ago and found out what had happened and when he was. He looked curiously over at Gabrielle, for some reason she seemed familiar, but he just couldn't put his finger on how.

Gabrielle looked over. She tilted her head for a second, frowning then leant over and tapped him once of the shoulder. "Hey, kid. Do I know you?" she asked, "You seem familiar, in a strange way."

" I don't think so, but i thought you seemed familiar as well ma'am", Said Atlas trying to be civil, he was often repressing any emotion he had, he didn't want the void to come out and take his emotions out on other people

Gabrielle frowned again. "Strange..." She held out her hand for to shake. "I'm Gabrielle by the way. Call me Gabby and I will tear your spine out through your throat. And you are...?"

"Good for her." Gabrielle said, smiling. She examined Atlas, lifting up his chin and moving his head side to side. "Honestly, Atlas, you look like you just crawled out of Hell and brought some of it with you. You must need some tea."

Atlas laughed ," I dunno, it could be hell to i suppose ," some of the purple energy crackled off his eyes, " I know its weird but your sounding more and more like my mom every second", he then added with a smile

Gabrielle put up her hands. "Please, kid, don't say stuff like that. I'm freaking out over being pregnant enough as it is. I don;t need strangers telling me I'm their Mini-Mum."

"Your pregnant?" atlas asked mildly surprised , Gabrielle really didn't look it ," Oh sorry about that, i i kinda just got here and well the trip wasn't really something i wanted ", Atlas added going a bit melancholy the dark lines glowed purple for a moment when he did

"I'm not far along, kid. Just a month or two. And hey, it's not like you knew." she reached over and patted him on the back "Cheer up, kid, before I call you emo." she said, smiling a little.

" Well its kinda not hard to be when ya get thrown back to a little before you where born, and just for shits and giggles, the father of your kid isn't named Harken Luminent is he? Atlas asked with some laughter in his voice

Gabrielle stared at him then reached out and grabbed him by the collar. She pulled him over to her then sniffed him. She let him go. "Well," she said, "You certainly smell like you're mine. .... This is awkward. We need some tea."

Gabrielle hugged him back awkwardly. "I'd say the same but I've never seen you before. I haven't even had an ultrasound yet." She held him back at arms length and studied him for a moment. "Well, you're not retarded and you don't look like you have any defects. That's a weight off at least. I was worrying that you'd turn out badly."

"Um, yes defects, There is kinda one , if you can call it that ," Atlas said holding up ball of black energy with a purple aura," I can kinda summon the power of the void", he said with a small smile

"Kid, I mean a real defect, like a fucked leg or a looped up brain. A power isn't a defect, it's just a blessing in a very good disguise. So, what is that stuff anyway?"

" hmm, well its easier to show then explain, " Atlas walked over to a tree, he then placed the ball of energy on the tree, mind you he didn't press it into the tree, the mere touch of this power caused the tree to turn black, its leaves withered and died and within seconds it was dust ," The stuff does about that, to everything it touches ", he then said facing Gabrielle again

"Don't worry mom , my powers don't manifest until I'm about 15 , Although, they did cause some major damage after that , also , well i doubt you'd be too happy about this", Atlas said drawing an old rapier from his belt, the metal of the handle was heavily twisted, all of it had darkened and had black crack lines with purple at their bottom in it, the blade itself had gained a twisted curve as well, the edge was now a deep purple, but it was in fact Gabrielle sword, paradiso

Gabrielle put her head in her hands. "Oh God, give me strength." She looked up and sent Atlas sent flying back 30 feet or so. He wouldn't land particularly hard and it would be on grass, so he'd be a little winded but nothing else. But the sentiment was there.

When atlas hit the grass it all died, he looked down at his hands, the purple lines where craving themselves out, He knew that it wouldn't take too much more of anything for the void to get control , He sat up ,luckily for him he was beat up often so a mere 30 toss didn't do much

Gabrielle closed her eyes and counted to ten then walked over to him and held out her hand to help him up. "Are you alright, kid?" she said, "I didn't mean to throw you. Reflex reaction."
