Chapter 4

Give me one moment in time

When I'm more than I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heart beat away

She was trying to make him see how important to the group he was-- not just as a fighter, but as a friend. She was trying to show him how his friendship with the others still remained strong, despite his lack of power. At the same time, she was opening up to him in a way that was still impossible for Tommy. Still, he couldn't really take the hint.

Tommy didn't display any anger or fear when he said it, but Kim could see he was upset, and depressed by his apparent loss. She shook her head slightly. Once again, he was making a mountain out of a relative molehill. And she also knew that, no matter how much she insisted otherwise, he'd never fully believe it. He couldn't accept that his friends really would stick by him. So, Kimberly built up her courage, and got down to the real purpose for her visit.
