The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Carver Amell]

He nods. "He said she wasn't awake. He said Lightsong brought her back."

[Bethany]

"Then we'll go ask her at the Hall," Beth corrects her plan. Moving closer, she reaches out to take his hands.

[Carver Amell]

Carver takes Beth's hands, taking a deep breath and letting it out. He goes to press his forehead against hers, but startles himself when he realizes he has to stoop a little to make it work. We used to be the same height--!

[Bethany]

Catching his expression, Beth finds herself smiling a little. "What's it this time?" she asks gently, curious as to what new thing being made correctly has brought up.

[Carver Amell]

"I'm taller than you," he says, his voice hoarse. "I-- are you sorry? That we're not identical anymore? I-- I almost am, except that being the same would mean..."

[Bethany]

"N-" Beth sighs softly. "A little. But only a little," she assures him. Stretching up on her toes, she kisses his forehead. "See? Not too tall."

[Carver Amell]

"I wish I'd gone with you when you asked," he says quietly. "I never thought you'd accept this. Never. If I knew this could happen I'd have gone with you."

[Bethany]

"...I wish you'd... said something. Before. At any point really," Beth replies, trying not to sound sharp. "I just... What made you not trust me?" What did I do wrong?

[Carver Amell]

Carver glances away. "When I was small... Uncle made it clear what... where I belonged, for having these delusions. I panicked, I told him I was cured. Didn't speak of it for a decade. It wasn't just you, Beth."

[Bethany]

Beth growls softly. "Gods wrack that man with pain unending," she hisses. "It's like his life's mission was ruining our lives. Whatever you did with you, my whipping, Marian's letters being changed." She curses then, something guttural and sharp, with a hint of smoke and searing to it.

[Carver Amell]

"Your what," he growls. Bethany hasn't heard her brother this mad in years -- not since they were little, when Car went through a phase of being mad at everyone all the time. 

[Bethany]

Beth's eyes widen and she flushes. "Umm. It wasn't- I mean, it wasn't really..." She fumbles, clearing her throat. "Belt. He used a leather belt, not an actual... but I needed healing, magical healing afterward. I just..."

[Carver Amell]

Carver lets out a yell of rage. He turns, storming to slam his fist into the side of the building, panting afterwards. 

[Bethany]

Beth can't stop herself from letting out a gasp of... not quite fear but it's close. She stares at him, eyes wide and mouth covered partially by a hand.

[Carver Amell]

Carver rests a moment, then lets out another yell, unleashing a fury of strikes against the wall. When he finally turns back to his twin, there are tears brewing in his eyes. 

"Fuck him."
