Aaron was laying on her bed, with the lights out, and her desk lamp on. While the lamp was all the way across the room, she could still read. She was currently reading Lord of the Flies, and judging Jack. Because Jack was an asshole.
Though Liam could easily get into her room, he wanted to set a good example for his guest and he waited outside her door. After tears, many hugs and forehead kisses, he finally realized he had to get out before he was discovered. He had her sitting on his right arm like a throne, as she clung to him while he knocked on her door very lightly, not to alert anyone around. He enters Aaron's head, pushing so she knows it's him.
Aaron doesnt hear the know, but does feel him pushing. "You can unlock it." she called to him, not getting up. She was always lazy when reading.
He flicks his finger and enters. He wears a tired face, but a happy one. He opens his mouth to speak, but shuts it, at a loss for words for the first time. He pauses for a second before saying "Thank you so much Aaron"
Aaron smiled slightly, still reading. "It's no problem. Now I know one more person in the world has a competent person by their side." She quickly finished her paragraph and put her book mark in it, setting it down.
He sets down his little sister and he whispers something into her ear. She hugs him once more before going to Aaron.
"Thank you Miss. Thank you so much" She says with a bright smile and she hugs her, not knowing much about personal boundaries.

Aaron rarely got hugged, but she was good with kids and just hugged her back. "It's no problem, and you can just call me Aaron, okay?"
"Okay Miss-- Aaron" She says, catching herself. She was used to calling all the scientists Miss or Mr.
Liam gives Aaron a genuine smile, and calls Sara over. "Thank you Aaron.." He says, not knowing how to repay her.

Aaron was glad she could help. She didn't need to be repayed, just making them happy was reward enough for her. Don't let the scientists know you've found her. They will use her against you, and vice versa. She warned Liam, smiling at him.
Wasn't planning on it. I plan to get out in a couple of days if you want to join me. He says into her mind. Then looks at Sara, smoothing back her hair. How long has it been since he's done this?
We need to keep scoping the place out. If we succeed the security is going to increase from its already almost impossible state. If we find a hole they'll close it, we have to get as many people out as we can. She replied. She smiled at Liam's sweet action. Poor Sara didn't even know what/the fact that they were talking about escaping.
I know. We need to branch out to others..Sara here has healing, thank god. I didn't want her out there fighting for when we get out. But I already have a little list of people who I can get on our team. Liam says, biting the inside of his cheek. They needed to do this fast.
Sara looks back and forth between the two. "Are we going to talk or just stare at each other" She asks, not knowing of their powers yet.

Aaron stood chuckled softly and stood up. You're an asshole. She thought jokingly. "Ill let Liam explain." She picked her book up and went to reshelf it.
Liam was about to say No cursing in front of the kid, but catches himself when he remembers Sara can't hear them.
Sara raises an eyebrow but she quickly switches her attention to something that has been on her mind. "Wait! If your alive does that mean Momma and Papa are still alive?!" She asks with hope.

Aaron stiffens. Shitshitshitshitshit She curses constantly in her head. She looks at Liam, letting subtle sadness show through her eyes.
Liam presses his lips together tightly and his face darkens a bit. "Sara, we can talk about that later. But for now let's just get you to bed. It's been late.."
Aaron inhales as she continues to watch him. Be straight with her Liam, she's been through enough.
I'd rather not do this in front of you. And she needs time. I just found her. He replies calmly, shutting his emotions away.
Sara's eyes waver, seeing Liam's dark expression. "They..they aren't...alive anymore are they?" She says, her voice cracking.

Shes 8. She needs more than one person to look up to and trust. Shes human too, she needs to know you'll tell her the truth and that we are both trustworthy. She said, then saw Sarah was about to cry. She relaxed, and put her book away before gently walking over and sitting in front of her. She didn't care what Liam thought. "Unfortunately, they are gone. However, I want you to know that they protected you and your brother the best they can, and they were very proud of you Sarah." She said, speaking softly. "They were thinking about how proud they were of you. How beautiful you were, how smart, and how great they knew you were going to be." She spoke truthfully. She then opened her arms to Sarah. "You're parents are gone, but I promise your brother and I are here for you."
Sara's mouth quivers and starts to bawl, throwing herself into Aaron's arms.
Liam almost shouts at Aaron to stop touching her but holds it back, taking a deep breath. It's okay. She's okay. Aaron is a good person.. he thinks to himself, trying to calm down his nerves.

Aaron hugs Sarah, gently rubbing her back to comfort her. "It's going to be okay, I promise. You're safe with me and Liam." She whispered, trying to comfort her. She knew she wasn't very good with comforting people, but the least she could do was do the best she could to help.
Sara wipes her nose on Aaron's shoulder, sniffles, and pulls away to look at Liam and how he was reacting.
Liam tightens his lips, looking back at her with a straight face and he looks at Aaron to see her shirt wet with snot and tears.

Aaron didn't care. She looked at Liam solemnly. Give her a hug, she needs your support right now. I can only do so much. She herself was dealing with her own moms death at that point, the situation being sadly familiar. She threw up a hard wall in her head so Liam would know.
Liam gives her a hard look but slowly bends down, not very good at comforting, even if it was his own sister. He didn't have people to comfort him doing this. He bottled or pushed his emotions down. He grew up like this...
She runs into Liam's arms. She pats his head, still crying but she looks up at him and smiles. "It's okay Liam...you can cry if you want..."

Aaron smiled slightly. She then stood up, reaching for a stash of water bottles under her bed. They were cold, and she passed two to Liam. "Stay hydrated." She knew she had an odd way of taking care of people, but she also knew it worked.
He puts down his water bottle but opens Sara's for her. He hands it to her, but remains dry faced. Not to be mean to Sara, but it was what he thought would help her...or would it just help him? Either way, he wouldn't let emotions take him over after everything he went through already.
Sara wipes her eyes and nose, then starts drinking the water. After a few gulps, she looks at Liam confused. "Why are you not drinking? Or crying? Are you not sad?"

Aaron sighs softly. "He's just as devastated as you are Sarah, but he hides his emotions as a defense mechanism." She said, explaining for him. She knew if he talked his voice would probably be croaky or unsteady.
"It's not a defense. I just don't cry" He says sharply. He gets up, brushing his pants off. "Thanks for your help. But Sara and I should go before we get caught" He says, opening the door. "Come on Sara. Let's go"
Sara gets up and gives Aaron one last hug, then grabs Liam's out stretched hand and leaves, waving Aaron a goodbye.

Not crying is a defense mechanism. Read a high school psychology textbook. But I'm sorry if I crossed a line. Aaron knew Liam probably hated her right now, but she was glad Sarah would be okay. She stood up and waved, smiling.
Liam shut the door, remembering to be quiet. It was way past curfew and if they were caught, it would be the end of their relationship. He puts a finger to his mouth and quietly steps his way to his room, his sister following close behind.
Aaron sighed and walked over to her bed, collapsing silently. This day had been exhausting.
((Time skip to someplace else? Maybe add in another character?))
((Sure, but what other character would we add?))
((Well I have Mila, but we can also ask someone else to join))
((I don't know if anyone else is on))
Aaron's room is plain, with wooden furniture and blue bedding, pillows, and a chair. It doesn't have a window. It's extremely neat, with a multitude of different books piled on the shelves.
