Mechgineer nodded at shadowstorm "I get where you are coming from, but i saw what happened, If you didn't notice blackhole trying to be your friend then i have no idea what is wrong with you. She definitely knew who your mother was, its obvious by your hair and features, and yet you were the first person she intended on talking to." He exhaled loudly "Sorry, i shouldn't say that much, as Silverthorn said I can't expect everyone to drop their grudges, but... I know we can try and work through them, because we are who we are, and our families have nothing to do with that." He sighed "I'm going to bet whatever money i have left in my allowance that the first person Blackhole talks to when she gets back is Shadowstorm." He looked away because he was ashamed at his own outburst, he also hated the idea that he might be wrong. Then he looked at Silverthorn to gauge her reaction, for some reason she seemed like the most reliable one there to him.<br/><br/>After her brother had talked to Shadowstorm Annie silently walked over to him and smiled gently "Hey... are you okay?" She didn't want him to be mad at her, or her brother. She was glad that she didn't even have to speak to her brother for her to relay her thoughts to him, because she found it hard to speak in any situation. Then she took a deep breath "I-I was hoping..." She fidgeted with her fingers "T-To get to know you Shadow..." She barely could even say his name.
