Tara A: It's not that her psyche's shattered... she's traumatised.
*OOC: By the way, I should probably explain how twilight works in more detail, since it's a little unfair to expect you to know the nuances of a plot device first introduced 2000 pages ago.
Basically, there's another sub-dimension called the Veil which disperses Twilight energy throughout our dimension. Certain individuals contain a gene which allows them to manipulate this energy. The Veil isn't the only 'realm' where twilight existed, however. There was another called The Forge, home of the Shadows. These twilight users shed their physical forms and believed that order demanded total dominion of all life, using twilight to assert their agenda over others.
In the last Shadow War (20 years ago, about) the Shadows and Forge were destroyed when Sam delayed the destruction of a star just long enough for a Shadow Fleet to open a Portal to enter our dimension, placing themselves in the path of the supernova and causing it to destroy not just the solar system with all Shadows present, but also the Forge itself.
While I don't mind having other twilight forces, I just thought this might be helpful background to know.
Oh, also, twilight doesn't give telepathy. Tara A's telepathy and telekinesis comes from her status as a New-Type, a form of evolved human similar (though no where near as powerful) to Gary Mitchell.
Oculus: Well do you really believe she is completely cured or do you have some doubt that her other personality might resurface? But anyway he could help calm her down. Otherwise I'd just suggest seeing a vulcan but they aren't always willing to offer their services in a mind meld.
OoC: Well Oculus himself only knows about where he and some others have obtained their powers from. The faceless people don't get their powers from twilight which is why they are interested in its users.

Doug: Ever since you and Clara turned on her, she's been taking a lot more fights than usual - she's been picking more too. She isn't giving herself a break, not even to let herself recover from the previous fight...

I'm worried she's going to get herself killed.
*Jean sighs.*
Jean: What do you want me to do? We have our problems...
Jean: What do you want me to do? We have our problems...
Doug: I think the main thing is that she feels like she's been isolated from Clara. If Clara showed her that she still cares about her cousin, that might help.
Oculus: I don't really understand why he was mad at me in the first place but oh well. You said the hand took her? From what I've heard they sound like The Organization.

Jean: I don't know, Doug...
*He looks over at where Clara went.*
Jean: She... might not after what's been going on.
Clint is in civilian cloths as he is taking in his surroundings and starts walking. He already knows thus isn't going to be easy. Having to watch them alone would be hard enough but with out being seen. This would make it much much more difficult.
He decides since everything looks calm to head to the safe house nearby to grab his gear so he can get started.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Oculus: I don't really understand why he was mad at me in the first place but oh well. You said the hand took her? From what I've heard they sound like The Organization.
Tara A: I doubt they're the only clandestine criminal b******s in the galaxy.
Anyway... do you mind? My boyfriend and I were kinda in the middle of something.
Tara A: I wouldn't. She's not likely to be in a great mood. If you give it to me, I'll give it to her.
Oculus: I guess I can trust you to give it to her. *Hands it to her* Before I leave I have one more thing to say. Something bad is coming. Something very very bad. Soon each of us, you, me, jean, and others like us will be called upon. I can only hope we can rise to the challenge and succeed. Otherwise may god help us all. You might have felt it by now. That sense in the back of your head that somethings wrong maybe you dismissed it? or maybe you just ignored it. The other ones were lucky to have escaped the system in time. If that faceless guy hadn't been there there's a pretty good chance the other yous would be dead. As much as I hate them he did save that ship when he could have left them for dead. If you need to talk to me instead of Clara you can also use the communicator but otherwise its for Clara. Goodbye for now. *Ports back to where he left the suit.*

*Jean tilts his head.*
Jean: Okay, sure.
*He walks inside with her.*

Hill: you think he can handle it.
Jacob: of course he can. He's a natural down there.
Fury: Clint will do fine. Now we have other matters to take care of like normal operations and such. Let's get to work people.
He decides since everything looks calm to head to the safe house nearby to grab his gear so he can get started.
Terry: Don't push yourself that far okay.. Plus your showing both of them.. Will be a good thing anyway.. God knows the press is gonna follow.
Doug: Thank you.

Tara A: I wouldn't. She's not likely to be in a great mood. If you give it to me, I'll give it to her.

Clint: OK whee to start.
He picks up one of the drones and begins setting it up. He spends the next few hours setting up his stuff the way he wants.
Jean: We don't have to if you don't want to Clara.
*He walks over and leans against the door jam, looking at her.*
Jean: But if you do, I think we should start packing now.
*Clara nods.*
Clara: Okay, let's get started...
