44 Blueberry Hill, Wednesday Night

[sleepswthdemons]

Phoebe had been making tea when it happened. (Tea because for some reason the boys didn't think she should be drinking coffee and alcohol was right out.) She had picked up the kettle to pour the hot water when she felt the premonition come on. She tensed with a jerk -- not even noticing when she dropped the kettle, splashing hot water on her hands and knocking the cup to shatter on the floor.



...frozen city... evidence of a battle... a group of kids running towards something... a body... facedown in a quarry... not moving... sparks... short-circuiting... closeup of the face...


"No," she whimpered. "Oh gods, no."





[[OOC: For the husband and boyfriend. That Phoebe had a premonition is okay for broadcast. Conversation about the premonition and what it was...NFB]]

Cole heard the clatter of the kettle and the teacup hitting the floor and ran into the kitchen. "Phoebe?" he said, taking her hand gingerly to see if she'd been burned.

The back of her hand had been burned, but she didn't feel it right now. She looked at Cole and her eyes were full of sadness.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Cole said, soaking a dishcloth in cold water and wrapping it around her hand.

"I had a premonition," she said quietly.

"About what?" Cole asked, guiding her from the kitchen so she could sit down in one of the chairs in the breakfast nook.

"Mack," she whispered. "Something happening to Mack."

"Who?" Cole said. "Oh, wait, that weird kid in your class last semester?"

"Weird kid?" asked Sam, coming in from the entryway. He'd been out getting more supplies for the nursery project when he'd felt Phoebe's sudden emotional shock, and burned rubber the rest of the way home. He tossed his jacket into the corner and hurried over to the breakfast nook to stand beside Cole, his eyes concerned. "What's going on?"

"Mack isn't weird," Phoebe said a little defensively "He's a sweet kid and... I saw..." Her voice broke. "...something bad is going to happen."

"Where?" Cole said. "When? Can we stop it?"

"The robot kid," Sam said, and his voice was a little hollow. He trailed off there, a little disturbed in light of certain recent possibilities.

"I don't know," Phoebe said, obviously upset. "I didn't recognize the surroundings... and he was face down... not moving."
