The second Calvin heard that voice of hers, he was filled to the brim with energy again; it did not matter if he had run faster and farther than his body could handle, he had made it to Chase, and she needed him to be her superhero at that moment. “The bus wasn’t there yet, and I'm scared of apparation- oh no, apparation is dangerous Chace, don’t ever apparate. Promise me you wont! You might get hurt, and I was a healer once but I am not that good at it…” he spoke, his words leaping off of his tongue as quickly as they always did. He would have continued to speak in this way, had he not noticed the beautiful creature that Chase was cradling in her arms.
Calvin paused, his mouth opening slowly in surprise as he stared at the redheaded child with wide eyes. Right there before him was a mini-Chase, a child that she had created, and was allowing him to visit. “Katherine… we will be best friends, I promise,” he whispered, slowly and gently taking a seat next to Chase, so not to disturb the sleeping infant. Calvin wished to hug her with all of his strength, but he feared that she was too fragile and that he would break her, and so he sat on his hands, gazing with an amazed twinkle in his eyes at the child. “She’s your baby... she is perfect, Chase” he spoke once more. He was acting as though he had never seen a newborn before, when, in fact, he had spent a large portion of his time around the perfect creatures when he had worked at St. Mungos.
Thierry and Fauve were a bit harder for Calvin to locate as they ran about the playground, but when he had, he could not help but smile from ear to ear; oh how he adored watching children play. They were innocent in a way that adults could not be, and if it weren’t for children, Calvin would not have had anyone to be inspired by. They were little rays of the Sun, spreading light throughout London…
He had begun to forget why he was panting in order to catch his breath, why his presence was so important at that moment, until Calvin turned his attention back towards Chase, and he remembered the urgency that he had heard in her voice when he had listened to her message. He instantly grew quiet, though he allowed his smile to remain on his face; she needed him to listen, and that was exactly what he was prepared to do. He would be anything that Chase needed him to be, at any moment in time.
When the two of them last spoke, Chase had told him of her troubles, and he feared as she began to speak, that he would once again be reduced to tears as he sat beside her on a bench in the park- at least, until he decided that he would not allow that to happen. Chase had told him never to change, and he would do the best he could to remain his cheery, childish self. He would hug her, and reassure her as she cried, because as he had stated before, superheroes were not afraid of anything- nor did they cry when their friends needed them.
This, however, proved to be quite the difficult task as he listened patently to Chase’s retelling of day’s events, which made him feel so very sorry for her. She had been betrayed by the man that she loved, and though Calvin was not positively sure that he understood how painful this was, he was very good at imagining, and could get close enough to the emotion that Chase was feeling. Her heart had been broken after she had just put it back together, and it wasn’t fair. “Oh Chase, I'm sorry, I am so sorry,” he spoke softly with gentle eyes.
Did the children know? Calvin could not help but wonder as he looked at Thierry and Fauve once more. They were almost old enough to understand what their father had done, and he desperately hoped that the poor children were not in the same sort of pain that his beloved Chase was. He did not know if he would be able to find that much glue to put so many hearts back together- but he would certainly try. There had to be some way that he could fix what had been damaged…
And it was during specific thought when Chase had brought up her biggest question: “Calvin.. could I stay with you.. for a little bit.. so I can put my mind in order before I take care of them all on my own?” In light of Chase’s situation, Calvin should not have been so happy to hear these words, and yet, he could not help himself, for he had been given the opportunity to make things right for his dearest friend. “Yeah! I can sleep on the couch, and you can have my room. Reid wont mind, he likes you too and I have sooooo much pancake mix. There will be enough for everyone! Katherine”- as Calvin mentioned the infant’s name, he realized that he was speaking loud enough to wake her, and immediately quieted his voice- “can have my Kerbie stuffed animal too!” he answered, speaking so quickly that it was a wonder he didn’t pass out. “No, no, no, no, no our flat is big enough for all of us, you don’t need to spend any money on us. Thierry will love Super Mario!” he continued, doing his best to stay put on the bench, which meant that he was squirming in place with excitement, his eyes dancing.
“Don’t worry, Chase, I will make sure that everything gets better,” Calvin finished, having calmed for a moment to get this particular sentence out of his mouth while putting true meaning behind it at the same time, “I will help, I swear.”
