Raquel wanted to speak up but found she didn't have the voice. She jsut wanted Chase to go and leave her alone, she didn't care about his punishment, even if he deserved one. She was jsut always so used to these things, simply getting over them, and letting them go without another thought.

Cosette sighed softly at the expression on Raquels face. She could already tell this girl had little backbone for herself, and only worried for others. It was admirable, but she needed to take care of herself too, and not worry so much about what others thought. She adopted a smile again, and glanced at Damian with a wry look.
" I might for little reason. People like that disgust me, slime balls that they are." That would probably gain a few points with him.
She reached into her pocket to pull out a card with her number on it.
" If you need me for anything, I'd be happy to help." She stood, and the women stood with her.
" Well, I just wanted to let you know. I'll see myself out." She could tell Raquel would not be partial to a private conversation. She glanced at the woman in question and smiled.
" Miss Raquel?" The faintly distraught woman looked up, and Cosette patted her own stomach.
" You're just fine here. All normal." What she meant was obvious after what Raquel had gone through.

Lorey seemed itching to ask her a question. If this woman was in the police force, then maybe she could ask her something about the attacker...
"Uh," she began, suddenly standing before Cosette left. "If you don't have anything pressing, could I ask you about something? In private?"
Damian glanced at Lorey with a bit of worry. He'd learned that she could take care of herself, and decently well, too, so he merely stayed quiet. But thank goodness that Raquel was alright in body. But how did Cosette know that?

Raquel seemed to get her meaning, her own hand unconsciously reaching for her abdomin. "T-thank you..." she said very quietly, though stood back a bit when Lorey spoke.

Cosette smiled. She knew what this was about.
The unfairly lovely female super nodded.
" Of course." She followed Lorey into a side room and waited for her question with her smile still in place. This can at a fortuiotus time, even. It would give Damian and Raquel a chance to talk.

Damian looked to Raquel, and no sooner than Cosette and Lorey had left, he wrapped his arms around here.
"Hear that? Everything's going to be alright... you're safe." But god, how he wanted to kill Chase with his own hands if Cosette wouldn't do the job.
Meanwhile, in the other room, Lorey paced a bit. How would she ask this question? Maybe asking it wasn't the best idea, but starting from the beginning...
"I... I was attacked," she began. Lorey's eyes came to meet Cosette's, reflecting fear but still remaining strong. "A woman, someone who wasn't... natural, came in through the window. She said that--"
She found her voice choking up at the next detail. "She murdered my mother, and she watched me for years. I don't know who to tell, I don't know what to do, even if I think she's gone. If you don't believe me, no one else will."

Cosette sighed and rubbed her forehead, before giving Lorey a smile.
" If I have anything to do with it, she won't hurt you anymore. I made her swear not to go near you, and if she doesn't obey my orders, there will be hell to pay." She noted Loreys confused look and decided to share a secret with her. Cosette turned around, and lifted her hair from the back of her next, displaying a prominent '1' with the symbol for female tattooed there.
" With all technicality, Terra is my subordinate. She wouldn't disobey me unless she was desperate." She sighed again.
" I know this could make me seem like a bad person, because I know and have spoken to her, but unless she wants to be in constant pain for months on end, she will not touch you or any of your friends. I promise."

Lorey thought the tattoo was for a gang or something, not for what it truly was: the mark of a super.
"Alright... alright." She tried her best to smile and nod politely, but it was so hard to believe that Cosette could stop that woman completely. Terra...
"My fiance isn't home right now, but he'll be happy to hear that, too. He walked in right after she attacked me and Damian..."
Just having someone to talk to about it was helping her deal with it all. Such a terrifying experience, and none of it felt real except for the occasional pain in her wrists.

Cosette smiled and turned back around, dropping her hair.
" Well, you don't have to worry. " She looked down at Loreys wrists and held out her hands.
" May I see them please? They still hurt you, and I'd like to help." She smiled gently.
" I was trained with extensive medical knowledge."

"Well, I had them in splints after a speed healing shot was administered by a doctor... I might have taken the splints off too early, though. We were rushed off-planet by another threat."
Lorey hadn't thought of Sveriana until then. With a racing heart, she brought her wrists into Cosette's hands, and started yet another story.
"My fiance's late wife was murdered by an assassin. It's alright if you don't believe that, everything's so fantastical around here... but she came back and we had to leave."

Raquel huddled into Damian's hold shaking slightly. "I...Dont like thinking about it though..." she admitted softly. "Any of the times...I usually just lock them away and they never come up again...." though sadly for her it was as if every memory of every time was starting to come back and she didn't like it.

Cosette nodded her head, carefully checking out her wrists.
" I know about that too, dear. I'll be looking after you all." She pressed her thumbs into her join of her wrists, then ticked them suddenly, first up, then down. Soft cracking noises emnatated from her bones.
" Hows that?" She asked, letting go of the girls wrists.

Lorey gasped and jolted her wrists back while they were still being held, but the pain passed, and she felt alright.
"Thank you..." she said, while rubbing them. "You're... something else, too, aren't you?" Lorey was being terribly cautious, but fear wouldn't stop her from asking at all. She was tired of not knowing things, and would do her best not to act on it anymore.
Damian hushed her, and just held her as Lorey and Cosette had their talk. By just being together, everything would be alright. He was sure of it.

Cosette nodded and grinned.
" Yes. But I'm the good kind. Instead of hurting humans, I look after then." She tapped the end of her nose.
" Supers Honor." She smiled and looked out the window.
" Is there anything else you need, Miss Lorelei?" She asked, after returning her attention to the girl in question.

Super?
Anything Lorey had to say stuck in her throat, so all she did was calmly shake her head. Everything was just fine, or so she wanted it to be.
