It didn't matter to her that it was another senshi. It didn't matter to her that he was doing nothing, (it mattered). What mattered was that he looked okay. Well adjusted. Perhaps not happy but he looked normal. And like hell that made the anger in Spacewatch fade even for a second. resentment was quick to boil under her skin and like any errant child, she was prone to fits over what she couldn't have. What was never going to her's ever again. She had scars. She lost everything. So how come some older guy got to look so damn fine and okay while he was powered up? It wasn't fair. Stalking behind him, Spacewatch wondered if he'd notice. She wondered if she could get away with making him hurt like she did.

It was hard to shake the sensation of being followed, of something creeping around in the back of his senses enough to leave his hair standing on edge. In general, he didn't like powering up and had only done so because he was tired of taking the streets and potentially being accosted.
Being Icarus instead of Kavinsky meant that he could jump farther, run a little faster, be a little stronger. He had decent reflexes already and they were only sharper, enhanced in this magical state that he hated because it put him in tight, spandex shorts that were bright orange.
Were it not for the dark of the night, stars barely twinkling in the sky above then he would have stood out like a sore thumb and that didn't seem enjoyable to him.
At some point, he stopped, feet half over the ledge of a roof and he turned. "I know you're there." His voice cut across the quiet of the night and his gray eyes narrowed into something darker. "What do you want?"

At 14 you didn't have the best control of your emotions. You lashed out over dumb things, made impulse decisions. You often clung to what you knew and what you didn't know scared you on a weird level you couldn't quite pin point. Couple that with PTSD and paranoia, and you were a hot mess of a disaster. Stepping into the light so she could see the older senshi, Spacewatch looked still much a child, a youth filled to the brim with anger. "Who are you?" She answered back.

Icarus didn't know what he was expecting when his stalker came into the light but it hadn't been a child. He recognized the angry, explosive desire in her eyes and he clenched his jaw tightly when he thought of how that'd been him only a few years ago, except it was different.
There was something unstable about the little girl and he looked at her with caution.
"That depends on who's asking," he replied, gray eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at her. "Go home kid, you're asking for trouble being out like this."
He didn't realize that's what she wanted.

Spacewatch knew that she shouldn't. That it wasn't his fault. He was not involved and to take her anger out on a stranger was unhealthy, heck, it was wrong. But she just wanted to fight- to scream and hurt and cry but nothing came up. She got anger but the rest? The rest was numb. Jealousy and rage- hurt and pain but nothing else. She hated it. It and him and how normal and adjusted he looked. Envy was her sin. "I'm asking!" A scowl and she began to stomp at him, trying to look imposing. "I'm not a kid." She hissed through clenched teeth, the idea she was weak and a child burning her mind like a red hot poker, "I'm not a chibi." She held out a small hand and yelled at him. "COMET CRASH!" She didn't want to be a weak child.

"Hey - " Icarus started, hands rising in what he had meant to be a more calming gesture. He had only wanted her to give her name first before he went around offering this pseudo-identity but everything switched too quickly. "I don't know what a chibi is but - "
Whatever he was going to say was lost to a string of Russian curses as he scrambled back, arms flying up to protect his face as her attack rushed at him.

She was a lean mean, 14 year old chaos hating machine. Well, more teenager but just about the same. Prone to breaking down and needing constant support, sort of like every new update for a windows OS ever. "I got looked down for being a kid senshi, just a normal kid- I can't win. I can't be better." She sniffled, emotions always rearing their head and running rampant and wild as she did her best to try and control them while they broke free and washed over her. She was beating on an adult senshi- not evil, not chaos. Just- someone who was supposed to help and fight and save people. Anger projected, and Icarus just happened to be there for target practice. "It's not fair. Senshi like you got all the power yet you are never around when people need you." Projection, no context, Spacewatch was angry and hurt for things that Icarus had no part in. "When I needed help, no one was there." She wasn't crying. "What's the point of senshi who can't do anything?"She was asking herself more than him.

This reminded Icarus why he hardly ever powered up and why he refused to be part of the stupid space war going on. At the rate things had been going lately, he wondered if he'd made a mistake in thinking that traveling closer to home would be quicker powered than as plain old Kavinsky.
Especially since this weird kid appeared to be batshit.
"You gotta stop giving a ******** what other people think of you," he said carefully, spitting on the ground as he thought of all the split knuckles and bloody lips he'd gotten from giving a s**t about other people's opinions.
"Hey, kid - uh I don't know what else to call you so don't get mad again but - it's all bullshit. This whole thing. Why are you hung up on it?"

Sniffling, she murmured out a "'M Spacewatch." "I'm sorry." Her arms hung limp at her sides. "I just- I wasn't able to save them." She was crying, eyes glued to her feet. "My mom and dad- I- I got found out and they- they." She hunch down, curling up. "'M sorry I hit you."

It wasn't like him to soften, but as he looked at the girl, Spacewatch she'd called herself, all he could see was himself. The angry little Russian boy who used his fists to convey his feelings instead of letting them out in what people considered to be a 'healthy' manner.
"I get it," he told her, crouching before her so they were a little more level. He didn't try to touch her, remember how much that'd pissed him off when adults did that to him.
"Grief sucks," he said slowly, carding a hand through his thick white hair. "All you wanna do is punch something until it bleeds because the pain in your fist feels better than the pain in your chest."

When she looked at Icarus, there was less tears, less snot as she found a prt of her voice after a few seconds. "How'd you make it go away? How do you make it stop?" Her entire form looked tired, worn down far more than a 14 year old should have looked.

Icarus had been quiet for a long time before he answered. "It doesn't go away." He wasn't going to lie to her. "But it dulls, eventually."
He stepped closer, watching her warily.
"You visit, you get into fights, you break and bleed and break again. Then you get back up and you go about your day."

A few more sniffles, hands at her sides, Spacewatch was worn out and she took steps closer- A very half assed fist pusted at him. "'S dumb." Then it fell back to her side, limp. "'S stupid." She looked down and away- "I'm sorry I hit you."

Awkwardly, Icarus patted the top of Spacewatch's head. "S'okay k - Spacewatch." He had been livid earlier, but now, now that he knew...he understood what it was like to be fourteen with so much grief bottled up inside.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He never had, but maybe it'd do some good for the orphan girl.

She shook her head but did look him in the eyes again. She was sad and lost and hurt- a child set adrift in a war and uncertain how to move forward. "You're not mad at me? Like, honestly- you're not angry?" She sounded worried, confused, "It hit you." She half expected to be driven off.
