"Well, my dad's in jail. Homicide. Mom's disappeared to who knows where, and my only sibling, my little brother, is dead. I wasn't born with powers, I gained them. Electrified baseball bat to the medulla. Born in Austin, Texas. Moved to Round Rock for a while. Then came here after my brother died." He shrugged. "And my middle name means energy."

Vergil clued himself in on what was going on so he quietly excused himself from the table permanently and went to retrieve a to-go bag to take his food with him. He wouldn't intrude on the privacy of their conversation or anything of the sort and he did want a bit of a walk around before he shut himself in his room for the night. It was a bit of a self-quarantining he was doing- for the good of his classmates.

Blinking he stared at Mykel, and here he hadn't wanted to go in depth about his problems, and Mykel was so open about them. "Well...wow...thats....how the heck to you deal with that?" Sure his parents hated him, and he'd been a victim of violence and emotional abuse...but, apparently, he had gotten off luckier than some. If you could even say that.

"Well, you don't." He shrugged, finishing off his burger and slipping a fry into his mouth. "You let it tear away at you inside, until you develop different personalities."

For the first time in awhile he felt his heart go out for the other guy. Without needing to think he brought an arm about Mykel's shoulders and hugged him close. Affectionate, completely not like him..."No way." He managed softly. "I shouldn't be the one to say it....but that kind of burden should be shared."

"I was saying it already happened. I have multiple personality disorder from murdering my younger brother." He said, voice low as he lay his head on James' shoulder. Mykel snuggled a bit closer into the other boy, eyes closed.

Oh. Well that didn't change anything, but for him at any rate. Wait now, hold on, he had murdered his brother? He didn't push him away, however, feeling a little comforted by the embrace himself. James wasn't sure what to say to all that, so he just held him instead.

Mykel sighed, finished with his food. "Shall we swim?" He asked, voice forcedly bright.

"Yeah." James left what he hadn't finished, "You gonna be alright?" The guy seemed to be forcing himself to be happy, and for some reason it left him feeling unsettled.

"I'll be fine." He mumbled, smiling softly.

After an arguably long walk, Tobias and Robyn reached In-N-Out. TK stepped forward and held the door open for Robyn to walk inside first. "After you," he politely told her.
Inside, a line of people waited for a worker to take their orders and a number of patrons were eating their food and chatting. The smells of the delicious food wafted to TK's nose and he smiled. A cheeseburger sounded really good.

"Thank you," she said, stepping through the door. She wondered if she could have driven here. She looked around the place, and wasn't too impressed, then she looked up at the menu and had no idea what she was reading. "Uh, what should I get?" She asked Tobias, a bit confused.

Tobias got in line behind a rather heavy set woman and turned to face Robyn. "Well, I would suggest a cheeseburger and fries," he said with a smile. "I usually get a Double-Double and fries. That's two meat patties and two slices of cheese, aka a double cheeseburger," TK explained with random hand gestures that surely didn't help Robyn imagine the food. In fact, they only made Tobias look a bit crazy.
He put his hands down and nodded, trying to pretend he hadn't acted so strangely. Slowly, he turned back towards the counter to wait in silence.

"I'll just get the single Cheeseburger," Robyn said, as they waited in line. She was a bit unsure, but there was no harm in something new.

At long last, TK and Robyn reached the front of the line. Tobias ordered his food, paid, took his number, grabbed a cup for soda and took a step to the side, allowing Robyn to order.
This is going to be super tasty.
TK rolled his receipt up and then unfurled it as he waited for his food. He filled his cup with Sprite and sipped at it.
