Carmy Hits Back

* Penny smiles*

Penny: We'll get you through this...The Litas are strong...but you're stronger.

* Sal nods*

Sal: Plus you can have some sessions with Anty.

*Carmy is about to say something but sees Sal's glare*

Sal: It's not negotiable- you do that before you go out on patrol again.

Carm: alright

* Sal turns to the others*

Sal: Okay, I think we're done here. Those on patrol get moving.

*Carmy is about to go off but Sal stops here*

Sal: I still need to talk you to you one to one.

*everyone leaves

* Sal waits to makes sure everyone is gone...and hugs Carmy*

Carmy: Okay I'm getting mixed signals here.

Sal: I...I couldn't just let what happened go. But equally...I've been there.
And to be honest that's why a lot of what you said really, really hurt, whether you
meant it or not.

Carmy: sal im...im sorry

*Sal looks at Carmy...and smiles*

Sal: Apology accepted.

* She then turns serious for a moment*

Sal: Trust me from someone who's been through this- it's not something you'll get over in a day, or a week.
Probably not even years. But you are the one who has to focus on being better and keeping those voices
out.

Carm: r..right

*Sal smiles*

Sal: Ok...go home and rest up

*the 2 leave*

(Last post after this)

* Carmy is in bed on her own*

Carmy (thought): After everything that happened, they still had my back.

Carm: ....im glad i met them

*Carmy yawns*

Carmy (thought): Sal was right...I should get some sleep...

*she falls asleep*

* Carmy emerges next to Carmalaga*

Carmy: W...What are you doing here? And why didn't you come out earlier?

Carmalaga: You...not...invite...me...

Carmy: ....well i meant to. Sorry

* Carmy sighs*

Carmy: Actually...I have a bigger job for you...if you help me.

Carmalaga: Me...help.

Carmy: Help keep the Litas away from controlling my mind.

Larga: me will

(OK final post after this one)

*Carmy smiles as a barrier begins to form around the Litas*

Carmy: Thank you.

Larga: *nods*

MEANWHILE...

*Vibes smiles as she sees Van still asleep*

Vibes: Sweet dreams...Mr Hikari. Tomorrow...we've got an announcement to make!

THE END...FOR NOW!
