ECHOES OF THE PAST COUNSELING THE SUPERNATURAL
"You were withholding information. Which is lying through omission. You decided I couldn't handle knowing about Project Reclamation, about the surveillance, about the threat level. You made unilateral decision about family safety instead of trusting your partner." "I was trying to protect you..." "I don't need protection from truth!" The words came out sharper than intended. "I need partnership. I need honesty. I need you to trust that I can handle difficult information and make informed decisions." "Even when those decisions include walking into obvious traps?" "Even then. Because that's my choice to make, not yours to prevent." We stood in our kitchen - site of so many ordinary family moments, having first real fight since our wedding. Both exhausted, both scared, both right and both wrong simultaneously. "I'm sorry," Damian said eventually. "You're right. I've been making unilateral decisions, justifying them as protective when actually I was controlling information
ECHOES OF THE PAST ACCUSATION
CHAPTER 135: The Cost of Peace The car ride toward home was chaos barely contained Damian driving with enhanced speed that made traffic laws irrelevant, me tracking Guardian communications on my phone, Elena coordinating with her remaining operatives through consciousness channels I couldn't perceive but could infer from her focused silence. "Guardian protection detail is engaging Gregor now," I reported, reading Veena's rapid updates. "He breached perimeter but hasn't reached the house yet." "Elara?" Damian asked, voice tight. "Safe with Aunty Dora in secure room. But Gregor's enhanced enough that standard protection might not hold." "Then we get there faster." The car accelerated impossibly, Damian's tactical awareness navigating at speeds that would terrify baseline drivers. Elena's phone buzzed. She answered in rapid Russian, her expression darkening. "Two of my operatives are intercepting Gregor. They'll contain him before he reaches your daughter." "Why would they
ECHOES OF THE PAST I'M NOT HELPING YOU
"I'm already changing it," I replied. "My counseling practice works with people your system and their system both failed. I'm developing alternative training models for enhanced children that prioritize mental health alongside tactical capability. I'm proving that baseline humans can meaningfully contribute to supernatural community without possessing abilities themselves." I could see Damian watching me from his position, seeing me deploy psychological expertise and counseling skills with more precision than his tactical capabilities could provide. This was my domain- understanding people, navigating emotional complexity, finding common ground beneath ideological differences. "Let me help reform how enhanced children are raised," I offered. "Not Consilient philosophy, not Balance training, but something new. Something that provides community without conscription, support without manipulation, belonging without surrender of autonomy." Elena studied me intently. "Why would you
ECHOES OF THE PAST BASELINE COURAGE
"I'm going in alone," I announced, checking the tactical display Marcus had pulled up on his tablet. "Absolutely not," Marcus replied immediately. "You have no abilities, no protection, no way to defend yourself if this goes wrong." "Exactly," I said. "Which means I'm not a threat. Just a mother looking for her husband. Just a baseline human who Elena thinks is inadequate. Walking in powerless is the only leverage I have." "That's not leverage, that's suicide." "It's psychology," I corrected. "Elena wants to prove baseline parents can't adequately raise enhanced children. Me walking into her safehouse, alone and vulnerable, either validates her position or forces her to confront that courage exists independent of abilities." Marcus stared at me like I'd lost my mind. "You're gambling your life on whether a Consilient operative will appreciate your courage?" "I'm gambling on her being pragmatic rather than ideological. On her wanting to rebuild Consilient philosophy, not ju
ECHOES OF THE PAST DAMIAN'S RESTRAINTS
"Was it? Or is the only difference that you approved of recruitment then but oppose it now? We're not stealing children, Commander Cole. We're reclaiming them from situations where their abilities will be suppressed, misunderstood, or inadequately developed." "By baseline parents," Damian said, understanding the ideological foundation. "You think Aria can't properly raise Elara because she's no longer enhanced." "Not just your wife. Any baseline parent attempting to raise supernatural child. How can they teach control they've never experienced? Provide guidance for abilities they can't perceive? Protect children from threats they can't detect?" "Through love. Through commitment. Through partnership with enhanced support systems." "Through inadequacy disguised as determination," Elena countered. "Your daughter struggles in preschool. Becomes overwhelmed by empathic input her mother can't sense or manage. Wakes from nightmares about consciousness networks her baseline parent can't
ECHOES OF THE PAST WHEN PROTECTION BECOMES PRISON
I woke to empty bed and immediate wrong. The wrong wasn't supernatural, couldn't sense consciousness patterns or detect enhanced awareness. It was purely human intuition honed through years of surviving impossible situations: something was very, very wrong. Damian's side of the bed was cold. Not recently vacated, but hours empty. Again. A note sat on his pillow, written in his precise handwriting: "Early Guardian meeting. Didn't want to wake you. Love you." The note felt like lie. I checked my phone. No missed calls, no texts, no explanation beyond the carefully neutral note. The Guardian protection detail was still outside, their presence steady and unremarkable. Nothing to indicate crisis. But instinct screamed otherwise. I called Veena directly, not caring that it was barely 6 AM. "Aria?" She answered immediately, alert despite early hour. "Is everything okay?" "Is Damian on Guardian assignment?" I asked without preamble. Silence brief but telling. "Not that I'm aware o
