Office Hours, Tuesday

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell wasn't sulking, or hiding. Nothing so pedestrian as that.

He was being avoidant. Avoidant of people, avoidant of his memories, avoidant of the fact he was riding a high buzz on the blood currently still flowing through his system. He knew the come down was going to be horrifically bad this time, but not for another day or two.

Right now he was the safest he could be, even though everyone was back to smelling like food and--

What he really needed was a distraction.

So Mitchell was back in his office. Poking through TV channels.

"Some things you just have to live with," he said, wryly. "There are ways to learn how to cope with it."

"I think that's one of the things that was worrying me in class last week. Frankenstein had a choice and he chose to bring things back from the dead for the power he felt over it. He didn't give them a choice and he didn't care what happened." She sighed. "I can't control it and I do care what happens. I don't want to become like him."

"Listen, Chloe," Mitchell said, leaning over a bit further, "You are nothing like Frankenstein. You didn't want this power, but you've got it. You shouldn't be concerned with whether or not you're evil. You should be concerned with making sure your powers will do what you want them to."

Chloe was actually starting to feel a little better now that she had told someone the truth about her and what was going on.

"Derek thinks I should practice with my powers because that's the only way I'll learn to control them. We found a dead bird when we were hiding out and I managed to bring it back to life... but when they started shooting at us, I made it go back away so we could run. I didn't want to leave it like that."

"You shouldn't."

There was a long, long pause.

"Do you know if there's any others like you?"

She took awhile to respond. "Not that can do the same things I can. Derek is a werewolf. Tori is a witch. Simon is a sorcerer we think. Rae is part demon and likes fire. Liz..." Chloe's voice faltered. "Liz was able to move things with her mind before they killed her."

"I'm sorry," he said. "Who did?"
