Finn watched as Jessica, his best friend, slammed her fist against the brick wall of Lacie's a bar that was owned by a Gifted supporter. The bar, while far from the kind of place Finn would've preferred had he been able to keep his human life, served as a small base for the Conclave to meet, seeing as how the owner was a supporter of their mission. The only rule was that they didn't blow the place to hell. "How the hell did this happen? What kind of telepath is strong enough to do a city wide message? Who the hell sent that out?" she shouted at Finn, running a hand through her blonde hair, trying and failing to tame it. Finn was leaning against a table, biting his fingernails and looking at the floor. "My sister. She does those kind of rallies. What if she went?" he said out loud, to no one in particular. Jessica quickly made her way to him and wrapped him in a hug, the comforting kind that only a friend can give. "Finn, I'm sure Lucy is fine." "I haven't talked to her in months. I should. I need to. I need to tell her to stop taking risks. She's got the triplets to look after." Suddenly Finn looked up and Jessica stepped away. "Okay. That was it. My time to be selfish. Now we think about how to deal with this. How many Conclave members did we lose?" Finn asked. Jessica's face grew somber and she turned away. "Too many. We're losing power as it is but we lost a lot of people. Mary, Lucas, Grace. They were all there and who knows who else. This isn't good for the M.R.F. either. They're broken enough as it is. God damn it!" Jessica slammed her hand against the wall again and looked at the ground. "Finn, how much longer is it going to be like this? When will it end? Good is supposed to win! For god's sake aren't we good?" Jessica asked, her voice cracking as tears began to stream down her face. Finn noted how badly this had hurt her. Jessica was strong but this was too much. He hugged her like she had hugged him and they stayed like that for a while until finally Finn spoke. "We are good. We just have to make the world see that."
