Peter had never bought into his mother’s theory.

She’d told him he was special, and though he’d smiled politely, he’d called BS from day one.

But now? Now he knows he was wrong.

Because Olivia was scared.

He shakes his head, disgusted.

With everything they saw on a daily basis, she never blinked. Monsters, alternate realities, kidnapping, whatever; even shooting her “partner” barely ruffled her feathers.

And yet, she was afraid of him.

Peter snorts, realizing this is par for the course in his life.

He is a scientist, after all, and he knows that in order to establish the truth, you have to test the theory.

He’d done so, unintentionally and despite the personal cost, and he’d proven his mother right.

He was unique, and it hurt like hell.

The scientific method was a bitch.

Squee in the sense of "excited discussion of show with way too much 'just the right amount' of detail being rehashed verbally with friend" ... but no, certainly no "squee"-squee.

HOLY CRAP!!! I was going to write back to "just the pain" the following ... "but it hurts so good" - then I decided to open your vid in another window to finish replying in this box. The tab popped up and said "John Mell-" and I started laughing my ass off just now as the song started playing in the background.
You motherfuckin' complete me.
*BWAHAHAHHAHA*

Yes. Yes, You Did.

PS: <3 icon choice.
I need to expand my icon choices at some point now that I am on this bad boy more again.
