He hugs her again, this time softer. "I know it has to be hard. It'll be better here. I promise."

"Me too. Now, we need to get out acquainted with people here," he says. He steps away from her slightly, but looks over to Autumn. Knowing he was looking at her, she looks up from the floor and looks at Todd, still keeping the barriers up.

Karla turns her attention to Autumn, trying to banish all thoughts of that place from her mind, and says with a shy smile, "Hi."

Autumn smiles and stands, no longer resting on air, but on hard ground. "I'm Autumn," she says, reaching out a hand for the girl to shake. Todd leans down and whispers to Karla. "Don't get too attached. She's a pain in the ass." Autumn glares at him. "I heard that."

Karla smiles and extends her hand to shake Autumn's, saying, "Good to see somebody's been filling the position while I've been absent."

Autumn smiles again. "Well, he deserves it." Todd's eyes widen. "No, don't-" "Did he happen to mention to you that he stalked me for a while?" "- bring that up," he finishes feebily. "You really think I was going to pass up that look?" Autumn replies with a grin.

Karla turns to raise an eyebrow at Todd and says, "Really, now? Males, honestly.."

"I know what you mean. It also didn't help that my boyfriend and I had gotten together sometime in his obsession and he still didn't stop," Autumn says, shaking her head. Todd scrubs at his face in frustration. "You really didn't have to mention that part either." "You need the reminders. Otherwise, you'll be completely confused if you cross a line and Chaosti pummels you."

"Tch. Obviously thinking too much with something besides his brain," Karla says as she shakes her head in mock disappointment.

Todd's jaw drops as he stares at Karla. "You're on her side? How can you be on her side?" Autumn raises an eyebrow. "Wow... men really are stupid. You think I'd have learned by now."

Karla grins up at him and says, "Sorry, instinct."

Todd grumbles and Autumn tries to hold back a laugh. "At least someone besides me knows when to talk to him rather than trying to beat him to a pulp."

"Who's been beating him to a pulp?" Karla asked, temper flashing in her eyes.

Autumn senses the change in emotion. Her eyes widen. "No one. Well, I tried a couple times but it was pointless.... He's got enough of his own defenses." Todd turns to Karla. "She's right. She only tried to hurt me because she was pissed at me. Then she even stopped Chaosti and Logan from going after me. Let it go."

Karla studies Todd for a minute, searching for the truth in their words, then finally shrugs it off as though it had been nothing.

Autumn tilts her head a little and looks at Karla for a minute. Then she smiles. "You'll fit in perfectly. There's at least one protective person in each couple. Not exactly romantic couple. Like Logan and Derek. They're brothers and Logan's got this crazy overprotective streak even though Derek's got healing powers so it shouldn't matter."

Karla smiles and says, "Must be interesting to watch."

Autumn shrugs. "I'm never really on the watching side... I'm basically Derek's other protector." "Well, it kinda makes sense since you and Logan are practically siblings," Todd says.

Karla just smiles and listens, trying to commit names and peoples' relations t one another to memory.
