#01 - Strength

[thecrowingtobe]

It's not often that Claudio is the strength of their little family. He's used to being the 'strength' as in strong enough to move large shit around. That's not really the same though. Not in the way that others can rely on him to be the power to get them through something traumatic. Not really the stable kind that could be the crutch one would lean on.

Claudio was generally the over emotional, easy to anger, simple to depress kind of human being. And calling him a human being to begin with was kind of off as well. Being part IRObot and Prise changed that status for him. At least now that he knew about it.

Still, four or five years in one city full of dark and crappy creatures and he was kind of always the one others had to pick the pieces up with. That someone as mostly Trauma, who had stuck with him through all the 'Surprise! You learned a new power!' moments as well as all the glitches and breakdowns.

And there were a lot of those.

So it was a bit surprising that when he made it to this world. To this hub of different people from different places, all of which had nothing to do with the Port? Well, he was a bit taken back to find that Trauma was the one that needed some help with picking up the pieces.

Apparently he'd been here for almost a month before Claudio and Owen fluxed in and as sad as it made Claudio feel, the other had given up hope of getting back. Or so it seemed. It wasn't the loud kind of breaking down, but he could tell through the force of a hug he got from his boyfriend that he had been missed. For Claudio he'd just gone out for a moment. For Terry he'd been missing for weeks.

For once he could be the strength that the other needed to get back to something close to normal. It wasn't the same, no. Not with out Jinx and Gabe or others, but it was something.

For a change he could be someone elses strength, even if just for a little while.
