Library [09/21]

Rory sleepily toddled into the library, and immediately set herself up behind the desk with her coffee and her laptop.

Not, you know, together. Because there were keys and liquid and no.

"I think his suit helps," Rory said. "He's got a helmet, and you can hear him breathing and it's abnormally regular, so I think he's on a respirator or something. So maybe he has like an IV or something that we can't see."

"Could be," Angela said. "Or he's some kind of cyborg and doesn't eat, and the breathing's to ... I don't know, cool his battery or something."

Rory shook her head. "He told me he's human. Or, well, I asked if he is and he said, 'in a manner of speaking.'"

Angela made a face. "Sounds incredibly charming."

She was starting to regret the whole concept of going to talk to him.

"Oh, yeah, he's a sweetheart," Rory said, rolling her eyes. "But it's not hard to get under his skin, so to speak. Though I didn't see him throw anything this week."

This week.

"He usually throws things?," Angela asked. Actually it might have been more of a squeak.

"He threw the doughnuts, and the first time I confronted him after class he threw a book," Rory told her. "Not at me or anything, though."

"Oh, then, that's okay," Angela said before biting back her sarcasm.

"Are you going to keep giving him stuff?" That was asked in the tone one might use to ask, "Are you sure you need to take your hamburger back from that lion?"

"It gives me something to do," she replied.

Angela managed not to tell Rory to take up macrame if she wanted something to do, though she had to bite her tongue to stop from talking. If this was how Rory had to grieve, it was how Rory had to grieve, and she knew her friend well enough to know that trying to talk her out of it would only make her do it more.

"Okay," she said instead, keeping her face blank and adding, in the least graceful transition ever, "So have they announced the new student council types yet?"

"Nope, but it's not like our class matters," Rory pointed out.

"It'll be nice to know for the Peters and Isabel, though," Angela said, sounding pretty lame. She looked at her shoes. "Can you tell I have absolutely no idea what to say to you about the whole Vader thing?"

Rory laughed just a trifle hysterically. "No, I know. I mean, what is there to say? It's not like it's at all a normal situation. I mean, if this was happening to anyone else, I'd have no idea what to say about any of it. But you're here and that's the important part. And for what it's worth, I'm not being as, um, reckless the whole thing now as I was."

"Good," Angela said, also laughing a little. "'Cause, Bucky needs you, and I don't think anyone else knows how to take care of a vampire puppy. And 'not at all a normal situation' is basically our school motto. We just have to make it up. Like always."

"And see, then we'll be prepared for when the next evil teacher who killed one of our classmates shows up alongside said classmate's kid," Rory replied.

"We should be putting together a handbook on this stuff," Angela snorted. "Just so future classes are prepared."

"...ooh, or we could like, write it on the walls of the bathroom. Of course then no one would really take it seriously," Rory said.

"But that might make it betteer," Angela mused. "Kind of like a secret history thing. The real truth about the stuff that happened here."

"And it would only be the truth, but it could be anything we wanted," Rory added. "Like, we have all this serious stuff, and a random, 'Anakin Skywalker was a really good kisser,' or something."

"We should do that," Angela said. "Maybe even not a bathroom, maybe pick a wall on the sixth floor and paint it white so guys can add too."

"Oooh, I like that. I'll mention it to Bridge, maybe, since he knows all about the sixth floor."

"That is an excellent plan," Angela concurred.
