(ooc: Dreamland...kind of lol...this all takes place before Saturday...the rps for Shove It! and the NC thread that goes with it are in the days following shove it. sorry had to get shove it ideas outta the way before I could give Nova his reply)

It felt like I was floating in a sea of blackness. The same blackness that had engulfed me after the car accident. My mind reached out, searching for something when I felt the pull. Slowly, the scene came into view and I realized I was in the same dream as the little girl. She cooed and pulled at my hair...wait...my hair?

I looked down and saw that I was holding her in my arms, sitting in front of a fireplace with a slow snowfall just outside the window. She giggled and went to suck her thumb when another hand took her wrist.

"No, Lila."

I looked up at the man, realizing that it wasn't the Nova that I had bitten...but the Satellite that I had met when I first got here. How would the little one know about that?

"You're the one who said she shouldn't create such a habit."

He looked over at me with a soft smile, his eyes were the same as his current form but...maybe just a little darker. Like the virus had done more damage that he thought. Lila cooed in my arms again, forcing me to tear away from Nova's eyes. Her eyes, a bright hazel that had the power to draw anyone in but even they had the same black ring...smaller but still there.

"Nova..."

I looked back at him to see him smiling at Lila, his fingers lightly pushing her hair back behind her ears. The scar on his neck made me flinch slightly, making his eyes shift towards me.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing...nothing..."

He stared at me for a moment before looking up at the door, "Bout time you showed up."

I looked at him for a minute before following his gaze...and staring at the Nova that I had bitten.
