THE GREEN GIRL

Return to Haven

It had been a few hours since Ben, Stacey and Mist had returned to Haven, since they return Ben had locked himself away in his study pondering over books and maps whist Stacey had been left on her own thinking why Ben was doing this, often she saw Frostbite and Powerhouse walking into the room only for them to leave a few minutes later, “what the hell is going on with him?” She asked herself as she sat quietly on a chair, “perhaps, he is ashamed of what he told me about his past?” Saying this she put one of her green hands into her jacket pocket and pulled out a photo it was one that had been taken of both her and Ben when they had met all those years ago, “I wouldn’t worry too much Stacey!” A familiar voice said in a calm and kind tone 

 Stacey looked to her left and saw Mist, she was wearing a white colored dressing gown, and a white towel that covered her hair, “Laura?” Stacey shouted in surprise, “boy am I glad to see you,” she cried in a voice that was filled with joy and yet with sadness.

 Mist looked at her and smiled, “you shouldn’t feel upset about Ben,” she said her voice was filled with sorrow, “he has been thought a lot you know.” Stacey looked at her giving the other woman a puzzled look, “haven’t we all Mist?” She asked her tone was ice cold and hard, Mist gave her a look back and nodded her head, “yes, I suppose you are right?” She answered back gravely, “we have all of us had it hard, but when life drags us down, we should be strong.” Her voice sounded inspiring; however, Stacy wasn’t in the mood, “you’re upset about Ben aren’t you?” The other Mega human asked in a soft voice, Stacey turned her head towards her, “I am thinking about maybe leaving him due to how he is with me?” She then turned away from Mist and covered both of her eyes with her hands and started sobbing, Mist seeing that her friend needed her support sat by her and as a gestor of good will put one of her hands onto her back, “Stacey why are you thinking this?” She asked in a calm gentle voice, “Ben and you have something special and you would throw it all away for nothing?” Hearing her asking this Stacey looked straight at her tears running down her face as she did this, “yes, I am but why are you asking me this?” 

A smile appeared on Mist’s dark blue lips, “because Stacey when I first joined Haven, I was like you, innocent, young and not aware of the dangers of the outside world.” She then let out a deep breath, “that was until Ben introduced me to Chris,” “Chris?” Stacey asked as she wiped her tears away, “who is he? As I have never heard on anyone by that name before!” Mist looked at her and from the look on her face Stacey could see that this memory upset her, “he is or was my boyfriend?” She said in a sadden voice, “I could tell you the story of what happen to him and how we meet if you would like?” Stacey looked at her, “only if you want to Mist?” She asked in a warm friendly voice.
