He honestly can't believe it. Ever since he really got to know his BB unit, he knew, he knew who it was. That this was Lou, who he thought he'd lost so long ago. If asked, he couldn't tell you how he knew it was her. DOOMs, maybe. Or just fatherly instinct. Or a mix of both.

It doesn't matter now. What matters is that she's here, in his arms. And he is never letting her go.

"So you're both you, and the Phoenix? That must be overwhelming." To say the very least. And to hear the way she was treated when she tried to tell people -- Sam shakes his head, disgusted. He was treated as both a freak and a miracle cure after they found out what his blood could do to BTs, but at least they never locked him up.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I hope it gets easier for you. Being the Phoenix."

"Yeah, I know how crazy that probably sounds but that's...pretty much how it is." Crazy. Funny how that word seemed to appear over and over again. She hadn't been crazy though, not in the slightest but she still couldn't shake the feelings behind it. Or the worry that someone else would hear her and immediately think she just sounded like a nutcase.

She shook her head. "Don't be sorry. It worked out for the best in the end. I saved my friends. My world even. It's just...complicated now. Weird." Empty.

"I don't think it sounds crazy at all. But maybe that's because I've seen some crazy things, in the last few months." His sister had been with her soul split from her body and lived her life in two different dimensions at once. Not much feels crazy to him, not after Amelie's confession.

"It sounds complicated. But at least you were able to save everyone."

There was a bit of sadness behind the smile she gave him and then she shrugged. "Thanks. That's actually uh, it's really nice to hear someone say that. One of the things about being a telepath is you always know everything and..." her shoulders slumped just a bit. "Actually I probably wouldn't have even needed to be a telepath to know that all my friends are pretty much torn between thinking I'm nuts and being terrified of me." Even Scott. Which definitely sucked more than she'd really realized.

"No more complicated than your stuff sounds. Yours may be more complicated actually," she said with another little smile. "Maybe that means his place will be easier for us? We're already used to crazy situations that are complicated."

"This place has already been a lot better -- a lot easier than home. If you can even call it home. It's easier than where I'm from, we'll say that. It's safer, so far. Lou already has half a dozen people who want to help take care of her.

I'm not alone, here. It's... good. It's good."
