A/N: Just tell me if splitting episodes into shorter entries works better than long full-episode format?

Episode 7.0: TURN OF THE ROGUE

Installment 2 of 3

"You really should have left it to play out on its own" Fallen said when Kurt explained the situation to her on the phone.

*I know, but I was worried...*

"Kurt, it was supposed to turn out alright" she sighed nodding her thank you to Forge who brought their meals to the table.

*Everything is, but what's the point of knowing the future if we can't try to make it- I don't know, better than just alright?*

Fallen looked around to make sure no one is listening. Nobody seemed even mildly interested in them but still she lowered her voice. "Knowing the future wasn't exactly the point of coming here, was it?"

*No, but since the opportunity is there...*

She could see through her imagination how he shrugs with his arms wide.

She exhaled dipping one of her fries into ketchup. "Now pretty much the entire crew is suspicious of us though."

*I'm sorry...*

She inhaled in resignation. "...It's alright, I'm just worried that it gets out of hand. Keep me posted if something goes wrong today. And don't get in any more trouble, okay?" she smirked.

*I can't make any promises* he chuckled. *Alright- I think we're about to take off. See you tonight?*

"I don't know if we can make it, but Forge says he got us late afternoon tickets back booked, so... Probably."

*Great. I love you!*

"Love you too. Bye" she hung up and shook her head as she stacked the big cell phone back into her handbag.

"Already getting in trouble? Nice rate" Forge nodded in fake approval from across the small table.

"Let's just hope we're not thrown into an interrogation dungeon when we get back."

"That bad?"

Harris waved it off. "Don't get me started. I love Kurt but his decisions can be so questionable and frustrating sometimes..."

"I guess everybody's are sometimes" Silvercloud shrugged slightly as he leaned back in his seat with a hotdog in his hand.

"Speaking of decisions" the girl started eating as well. "How come you ended up living so separate of your family?"

They haven't gone to his relatives yet, choosing to satiate their stomachs first because the on-board menu on their plane was hardly satisfying and even less affordable. She still didn't know what they were like and what pushed him to move, so it was interesting to learn who Forge was before becoming the 70s guy trapped in a pocket dimension.

"I was of legal age so I decided to move to New York to study" he said slightly grimacing. "My family had hard time accepting my passion of parallel dimensions and they didn't believe they are real."

Fallen snorted bitterly. "Tell me about it" she started spreading ketchup over her plate with a tip of a fry. "When I revealed who Kurt is to my mother she was in complete disbelief, no matter how much she learned about it."

Forge's voice was softer than before; "You must have trusted your mother a lot to reveal that."

The girl's eyes became more distant and almost dead looking for a moment before she grimaced and shifted in her seat. "It doesn't matter now, none of my past matters."
