However, why the girl had left? Well, that was something Selina did not know. She hoped it was not because of herself, but she could not be sure. Something in her gut told her that Elektra left for a plethora of reasons; Selina was not why she had fled. Maybe though, just maybe, she had been the reason why Elektra had stayed away.
There was so much going on in her head that she found she could only respond to Christopher's inquiry with a simple answer, "I don't know why she left, honestly. I just wished she had not gone. Things would have been so different if she stayed," she and Gideon may have never have even started and maybe Christopher and Violet would still be together. It would never be known though.
Then Christopher freaked out. His freak out was an understatement. She wanted to calm him down but then he went and threw up... seriously? He had thrown up? Was he really that upset about this whole endeavour. She did not even know he and Elektra were that close. Selina herself was close to tears, in fact her eyes were wet, but throwing up. Christopher was a lot more fragile than she had anticipated.
Although she was still weak from her vision, she stood up and walked over to where Christopher was in his bathroom. She leaned against the door frame for support and said, "Hey... you okay?"
Christopher managed to pull himself up, gripping onto the counter as he thoroughly washed his face, then hands. Merlin, he hadn't anticipated
that. But he was in shock. At least Selina had seen some of what went on. She pratically told him nothing, except for that Elektra had been attacked and was probably dead. He wanted to scream, and throw something and just kick something, but he kept his mouth firmly shut, his hands still shaking, his eyes full of fear. He'd heard the saying 'life's not fair' ever since he was a child, but this was beyond unfair. This was a cruel joke. He seemed to be losing everyone lately.
He leaned against the cabinet and shook his head yes.
"I... I'm fine... just shocked... A little put off from the train too." Of course that wasn't entirely all that true, but it wasn't really lying, so he didn't say anything else. But then he realized how weak the two of them were. One fainting from visions, one getting sick out of shock. It was weird, but there they were. He walked back to the couch opposite of Selina and ran his hand through his hair. It was a lot to take in.
"What are we going to do, Sel?"
