He had saved a man’s life with his powers and been spotted by one of his students. He’d made the run home with no more incidents, but after having scrubbed himself clean of both his own sweat and a stranger’s blood, he had sat on his couch for hours watching the horrific scenes that had unfolded downtown... He had tentatively entertained the idea of going back outside to help but caught himself as he opened his closet to reach for a black t-shirt. He’d already been exposed once tonight, and no doubt both Midtown and the hospital would be crawling with N.O.V.A. and other authorities. He closed the door shut and slunk into bed, mind abuzz with a conflict of emotions. He had helped two people, one physically and the other emotionally, whilst also finally telling someone in New Haven his biggest secret. He felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders but also darkness descend. Connor was registered and a high-class variant, how did Felix know that he wasn’t constantly monitored and that his secret was now also known by the authorities? Connor may also just tell someone, right? Sure he was mature beyond his years but still a teenager. What if someone was hurt and he wanted to help and so spilt the beans…? He suddenly realised that Connor could probably also do some online research for a Variant with healing powers and eventually find photos of his teacher in his home state, apparently touched by God. Felix tossed and turned in worry but eventually sunk into a deep sleep only, waking for his morning alarm from a whole night of undisturbed slumber! Sat at his desk he still couldn’t believe that he hadn’t awoken with his terrors last night. Was revealing his secret to someone all that needed to happen…? Starting to accept who he was? No come on - this wasn't a Disney movie... The rest of the Tuesday morning had passed in a bit of a blur: morning swim, coffee and bagel, morning lessons. The only difference from normal had been the awkward anti-Variant opinions being far more vocal around the school and in the staff lounge after the night’s events. He’d nonetheless given Connor a smile and nod as they’d passed in a corridor at recess. But he still couldn’t wait to have a nice relaxed evening at home. Go the long way home and grab his favourite Greek takeout before cocooning himself with the new series of Grace & Frankie. He glanced at his classroom’s clock as the bell rang for afternoon classes. Just a couple more hours and he’d be able to put yesterday behind him and get back to normality. If not normality slightly more positive than before. He welcomed his next class in with a smile.
