The whole situation had escalated out of control and Mr. Payne was unaccustomed to being talked back too; as Isaac was a mostly passive type of person so he just sat in stunned silence while Vivio snapped at him and then marched from his house. In truth he was relieved she was gone. Parahumans scared the hell out of Tom Payne and Vivio's powers were more then a good reason to be scared. He liked to pretend Isaac was normal but the undead creature sitting in his sons room was going to make that very difficult. "Well... glad that's over with," Mr. Payne breathed as the slammed shut on the level below where the house exited to the outside and connected to the taxidermy shop on street level.<br/><br/>Isaac had dropped his head into his hands and curled up on the couch in a ball of anxiety the moment Vivio had left the room. Tom reached out to him but the teenager slapped his hand away, "sometimes I wish I had of died that day." He muttered. He had yelled back at Vivio and made accusations but in truth he felt like it was all his fault. Had he never thought to help and run in like some sort of super hero then those people would have never died.<br/><br/>Tom's stomach lurched when he realized what his son had said, "don't you<span style="font-weight: bold">ever</span>say that again young man!"<br/>"Screw you Dad!" Isaac snapped back, "you don't anything about what I'm going though! I'm stuck with these fucked up powers and don't know anyone who's like me. You just pretend it DOESN'T exist and act like everything is normal and I can't STAND it," he stormed down the stairs towards the shop.<br/><br/>"Don't you walk away from me!" Tom bellowed after his son as the door downstairs to the inside of the the taxidermy shop slammed .<br/><br/>"I'm doing what you told me to! I'm going to work until my hands fall off so I can pay off that stupid camera," Isaac yelled back as he slumped into the work desk. He pulled out the files of projects and requests and took the first big animal he could find. Someone had wanted a deer done on a plaque. There was already prepared wooden plaques for the head mount orders and so he went to work. The door jingled and two young persons came in to stroll around the shop. Isaac thought nothing of them as he continued to work and they browsed.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>The phone rang and Tom picked up the phone, glad for a distraction. He was surprised it was Vivio's mother on the other end. "Oh hello," he said with a frown as he adjusted the receiver against his ear for better comfort. "Speak to her? She actually left about 20 minutes ago or so. She said she was going home," Mr. Payne said with a concerned frown on his face. In the scuffle he had forgotten to call Mrs. Rosenkreutz to advise her that Vivio had left.<br/><br/>"I saw her sending a text message on her way out so I assumed she had told you she was coming home," he said by way of apology to the other woman.
