too_honest: (thinking)

There wasn't a moment that Ty didn't think of how the tables had turned... Tandy managed to expose The Roxxon Corporation for destroying her father's name and he'd been able to finally prove that his brother had been killed by a cop. The truth coming out hadn't really changed their lives for the better.

In fact, Tyrone was a wanted fugitive even after saving the police station and the entirety of New Orleans. Tandy learned a painful truth that her father wasn't the man she'd believed him to be. She went home to stay with her mom while Tyrone remained in hiding at the church she'd been staying in, minimal contact with his parents who had kept a tight reign on him since Billy died.

Life was a sudden adjustment for the both of them since saving the 504. Connors was no longer a threat to anyone, seemingly stuck in a well deserved hell in a similar way that the Roxxon exec was who'd been responsible for ruining the Bowen name. Maybe it wasn't exactly justice but it was definitely karma. Ty had never been in so much trouble yet the war had finally stopped raging within him.

He had Tandy to thank.

She could drive him up a wall but had been there for him in the end, unlike anyone else in his life. Maybe Billy if his brother were still alive. Tyrone liked to believe that.

His heart ached for Tandy, losing that belief in her dad after the ugly memory they unintentionally discovered. The truth wasn't always what it was cracked up to be. Yet it was. Ty believed learning what she did, Tandy could finally see the hope in herself that was not because she was Nathan Bowen's daughter but because it was genuinely who she was. Whereas Tyrone accepted doing the wrong thing when they were for the right reason.

He had every intention of giving his life to save everyone, including Tandy--who he had once spoken to in anger when she talked about killing herself.

Tandy wouldn't let him. Her refusal in the end was what truly saved the 504.

They really didn't talk about their heroics. Neither did they talk about their somewhat reversed roles. Ty was glad she had been trying to find her footing with her mom. He trusted that was what Tandy had been up to, not her old tricks. Meanwhile, he practiced his power to teleport and kept himself fed. And showered. He'd been working out in the church when he could smell himself. A trip to St Sebastian's boys locker room brought him back dripping with just a towel around his waist.

"Not this again," he uttered at seeing her. Tyrone didn't believe she was up to old tricks. He knew her too well now. She was up to new ones which involved making him squirm. He might have sounded annoyed but the thick swallow he gave at seeing how she looked told the truth he hid. Tandy looked amazing. How was he supposed to say no? Apparently, he was going to try and play the irritated card.

He forced his eyes to look away and moved to get his clothes so he could get dressed rather than gape in awe at her.
