It was time to stop hiding. That didn't mean she was going to fully integrate herself into island society again. She still wasn't going to go to her dance classes, especially not with Percy there, but she had decided to go ahead and live in her own place again. As grateful as she was to Charlie and Edmund for letting her crash at their place, she wanted to be back home.

She had left notes in the mailboxes of everyone that had gone home with everyone. They simply said I'm sorry. -Valkyrie

She wasn't sure what could be said beyond that. She hated herself for what she had done to them, even if becoming Darquesse had been to save them. In the end, she hadn't been strong enough to save her friends, not from herself. Not only that, but each time she became Darquesse, it was harder and harder to find her way back. If it hadn't been for the ending of the dream, she wasn't sure if she would have come back from that.

Then there was the fact that all of her closest friends now knew her secret. It wouldn't have been so bad except that her secret was that she had the potential to become some sort of crazy-powerful nut job without any conscience. Go her.

Sighing, Valkyrie curled up on her couch and hugged her knees to her chest. She'd just sit here for a while and try not to obsess over what happened. Later, much, much later tonight she would head to the ring and take out some anger on one of the bags and maybe go for a run along the beach.

"I'll do my best to live up to that," I say, with a lopsided smile, bouncing to my feet. "And science experiment date, name a time, I'm there. I mean, name a time, I'm not in class or anything, clearly."

"Sure, I'll let you know when I've got everything lined up."

Also, it would give Jessica time to back out if she decided that she didn't want to go through with this. Valkyrie hoped that wouldn't be the case but she was preparing for the worst.

"I'll see you around though?"

"Couldn't get rid of me if you wanted," I say, hopping up and grinning at her. "Well, I mean, if you actually did you could, I'm being hyperbolic. You know what I mean. I'm going to head off, but- you're sure you're okay? I want to make sure you're okay before I go dashing off."

"I'll be alright, I promise."

She didn't know if she was okay, that might be stretching it, but she would be alright eventually. Talking to Jessica had definitely helped though.

"You go dash off and do science or whatever it is you normally do."

I squint at her very slightly, to try and guess if she's covering not being okay. But then, she probably isn't entirely, because who would be? Who ever is? And I'd probably say the same, and sometimes all there is for it is time and support. Hopefully that'll do it, in the long term.

"All right," I say, with a nod, giving it the benefit of the doubt, crossing to the door. "I am going to dash off and do science. Don't be a stranger, now."
