Carl looked at his phone as it went off.
"The boss wants to see me." He said towards Jase, who suddenly looked worried.
"No this is bad." Jase said, moving to step towards Carl. Carl gave a shake of his head.
"I'm going alone Jase." Carl said sternly, "I love you, but I don't want you in trouble." Jase watched his partner before he nodded once.
"Okay. Just... Be safe." Jase said quietly, moving to give Carl a hug. Carl smirked softly and kissed Jase's forehead before Carl moved to leave the room.

Carl walked towards the office, his wings folded but not hidden. He pushed the door open without knocking, as he knew that Mr. Johnson was waiting for him.
"You wished to see me sir." He said calmly, steeling his nerves before he looked around.

Steph gave a nod, "It just got too much." She said with a bit of a shake in her voice, "I had to get out of there, I was overwhelmed and it started to get to me. I contacted April, I knew she'd be able to help."

She breathed in and straightened herself up, "But I should be okay now. Hopefully these pills will help." She heaved slightly, "I've never gotten to the stage of desperation before... Well, I have [i]once[/i] but I wasn't me- I don't remember any of it, the instincts just took over and..." She stopped herself from talking, closing her eyes as her hands moved to slip over her body in a hug.

Duncan stayed quiet as he finished listening to Harriet.
"So... Those powers...?" He started, Harriet gave a small shrug.
"I have not a clue." Harriet replied with a frown, "I haven't had anything from the book I read. Apart from the vomitting."
"That just sounds like Morning Sickness." Duncan teased with a smile, Harriet moving to kick him happily.
"Stop it you." She said with a bit of a laugh, "Don't even [i]think[/i] about joking about that. Especially not around our parents or my brothers."
