[Sissel is sat on the sofa in the living room of the Mad Tea Party’s house later that day, empty. The room is significantly darker, but a lamp has been turned on in the corner. He’s focused on his notebook, scribbling lines through certain words. He’s taking deep breaths.]

Liv: What is that thing then?

[Sissel looks up, surprised.]

Sissel: [surprised] Um… just a notebook. Where’s Vince?

Liv: I told him to go, I wanted to talk to you a bit.

[Sissel nods slowly, taking a deep breath. Liv sits down next to Sissel, both not making eye contact.]

Sissel: [tired] It feels like I’m going in circles right now. The White Rabbit wants to kill us except that it looks like now he doesn’t want to kill us. He also has a sidekick who tried to kill Vincent called the March Hare but, again, apparently we’re not meant to die. We have a purpose? That makes sense…

Liv: [annoyed] Can we talk please?

Sissel: [tired] Sure, just… I have too many questions, I have to deal with-

Liv: [annoyed] I hate you.

[Sissel turns and looks at Liv for a second.]

Sissel: [surprised] Well… You have good reason.

Liv: [annoyed] Very good reason.

[Sissel nods, quickly turning back to his book.]

Liv: [annoyed] Because, to remind you, you blamed me for her death. Which pissed me off.

Sissel: Rightly so.

Liv: [annoyed] Definitely.

[Liv turns to properly face Sissel, still keeping his head down at the book.]

Liv: [annoyed] And I know that maybe I didn’t have the best relationship with Tracey or with you-

Sissel: You are spying on me. To be fair. With my mum.

Liv: [surprised] What?

Sissel: “Olivia C” on my mum’s phone, it took a while to think about but it makes sense to be you. You’re the only Olivia my mum has probably ever met. Bit weird.

Liv: [annoyed] Are you trying to change the subject?

Sissel: No, I’m trying to-

Liv: [annoyed] Because I’m kinda trying to vent here-

Sissel: I’m trying to say thank you.

[Sissel turns, gives an awkward smile, then back at his book.]

Sissel: [upset] You… I don’t deserve people like you.

[Liv sighs.]

Liv: [annoyed] Nah, you don’t.

[Liv leans back on the chair, looking at the ceiling.]

Liv: [annoyed] I came to vent and now I just feel like crap.

Sissel: Don’t worry, I’ve felt like crap for two months.

[Sissel puts the book to his side.]

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Sissel: Can I give a sorta theory?

Liv: [annoyed] Fuck it, why not.

Sissel: I think… I think that Tracey… if she hadn’t died, then she’d be in the same situation as us. With the…

Liv: [annoyed] Being “superheroes”.

Sissel: [upset] Yeah. And I think that it would’ve gotten her killed.

[Liv looks at him, frowning.]

Liv: [annoyed] What?

Sissel: [upset] I think that things are meant to happen… we don’t have a choice or else it’d just get all Final Destination. I think that… we’re meant to have these powers, meant to do something against the White Rabbit and…

[Sissel looks forward, seeing Tracey on the other side of the room. She’s staring at the two of them, frowning.]

Sissel: [upset] Well you get the point.

Liv: You still want to save her?

Sissel: [upset] She’s my best friend next to you and Vince.

[Sissel looks back at his book, quickly scribbling.]

Sissel: Maybe she’d make me a good person.

[Liv sighs.]

Liv: I want you to tell me something with complete honesty.

Sissel: [hesitant] Okay.

Liv: Do you have a power too?

[Sissel quickly looks to Liv.]

Sissel: [surprised] What? What do you mean?

Liv: [annoyed] You know what I mean. You were struck by lightning too, you’ve been talking to yourself at home and with us. Your mum says that you’ve been quiet. Chelsea and Leigh said that you had a fit and were mumbling to yourself after, Vince told me that you’ve never had a fit or “imaginary friends”-

Sissel: [defensive] Not true! I had an imaginary twin called-

Liv: [annoyed, loud] Sissel!

[Liv stops herself, taking a deep breath.]

Liv: [faux-calm] Sissel, do you or do you not have a power?

[Sissel takes a few deep breaths, looking at Liv.]

Sissel: [forceful] No. I do not.

Liv: [faux-calm] Do you promise?

Sissel: [calm] On my heart.

[Liv gets up from the sofa.]

Liv: If you’re lying to me, I’m going to punch you.

Sissel: Your power means that you’ll just hurt yourself.

[Sissel looks up and chuckles to Liv.]

Liv: Yeah… doesn’t mean I won’t.

[Liv turns to leave the house.]

Liv: I’ll see you around, Sissel.

Sissel: Bye Liv.

[Liv leaves the house, closing the door behind her. Sissel looks up to see Tracey. Tracey is about to speak when Goldberg materializes next to her.]

Goldberg: Excuse me?

[Both turn to his attention.]

Goldberg: Sorry to interrupt but… it’s time for us to move on.
