This was what happens when she let her guard down. These phantoms of the past will spring up when she least expect them. It was such a shame, she thought she could finally let her mind rest, at least for a moment. Then this...

She allowed Anna to calm her down a little. It should be fine, she thought, so long as she kept her guard up. She was fighting those memories for years now. It bled into everything she did. They never left, they were always there, in the background, haunting her. That little attack on her sanity was only because she got careless. That is not happening again.

"I'm okay. Something just took me by surprise," she reassured the girl. "You on the other hand... I suppose you should take care not to strain yourself too much with your powers."

Her eyes had squeezed closed to keep out the light of day that was suddenly making everything feel worse by the minute. She pried open one eye to give Sarah a sideways glance. "Yeah. I had a feeling there would be some kind of...side-effect. So few things in life come for free," she grinned, then winced.

"Maybe with more practice, this won't happen. I should probably give it a rest for the day, though. Ugh, this must be what migraines feel like. One of my foster moms used to get them a lot. It totally knocked her out for like...hours, sometimes even a whole day." A playful scream resounded in the air from one of the kids playing tag, and Anna cringed in pain. Her head was just...throbbing. She hoped it would go away.

Watching the pain on the girl's face perfectly mirrored her expression the first few times Sarah had a migraine. It wasn't pleasant, and repeated instances only did little to make them bearable. As such, she always carried something to help with the pain.

Reaching into her side pocket, Sarah pulled out a white box and took an Aspirin out and offered it to Anna. "This should help with your headache or migraine. I hope you have something to wash it down though." She tries not to forget these things, mostly for convenience. She could power through bad migraines and headaches are nearly trivial, but if things just doesn't let up, then she'd take one or two to give herself some relief. The reason why she doesn't take it all the time is because she didn't want to have to go through what they called a rebound headache.

Anna took the pill gratefully and dry-swallowed it. "Thank you." Fortunately, she'd learned how to take pills straight a while ago. It had appeared to be common aspirin, and she hoped it would be enough to take the edge off, at the very least. It would probably take a little while until that happened, though.

"I should probably get home and lay down," she said, feeling suddenly very tired. "But...if you want, we should like...do this again. I feel like I should train my new powers, and I'd need someone to help me with that. In return, I'd be happy to uhh...hmm...I mean, I can cook? If that sounds good to you." She gave Sarah a mildly-exhausted smile.

Sarah pondered for a moment on the offer, and thought that there was no harm to it. Maybe she could get some data out of it as well. She'd certainly have enough time to get her equipment ready if they were to plan the next session. "Yes, we could do this again. I'm also curious of how far your abilities go. I'd like to try out your cooking as well."

The cyborg stood up and looked around the park. "I should probably head home myself... If you need a ride, I've parked my car nearby," she offered as she stood up from the bench.

Anna managed a smile through the pain in her temples, "That would be great."

The pain started to subside once she was away from the noise of the park. Anna was grateful for the ride; it would have sucked to walk all the way back to campus with this migraine. She thanked Sarah for her help, and they exchanged phone numbers, with the promise to meet up again once Anna was feeling better.

She staggered up to her room and tossed herself onto her bed, curling up under the blankets. Darkness. Quiet. It didn't take long for Anna to fall into a deep sleep.
