Phoenix blinked. 'You mean... You weren't treated... Just because... You're a Tuner...'

'Exactly,' replied Ebony, 'It was something that I grew up with... Nobody ever believed that Tuners were important enough to be treated... but left to die of the injuries and illnesses that they think we brought on ourselves just by becoming Tuners...'

Phoenix her antenna to her side. Her child had a Tuner for a father. But they would treat her child differently just because of her position if something happened that it needed to go to a hospital.
'Thats something... I've never encountered....'Phoenix sent. 'A lot may not like Graystons... But they... At least would treat us...'

'Lucky you,' Envy filtered through Ebony's mind-voice, 'I bet it's because of all that money you have... But me, I never had enough of the stuff to pay for food... I had to use other, unsavory means to get it...'

Phoenix sunk a little on her frame at Ebony's tone. It was true that she did often get special treatment because of who she was while her friends were barely treated at all.
She looked at Ebony. 'Maybe... I can fix that...'

'Really?' asked Ebony, 'I don't want to remain perpetually ill all the time. How would this be fixed?'

'When we get back... Phoenix said. 'I'll talk to Rodgers about having... You on the Grayston plan... Technically you're family... Rico's family...'

Ebony felt touched when she heard this and looked at the dozing Stealth, 'Well, he practically adopted me and we are both Dodges, so that would make sense. And the twins do love you that I think they see you as some sort of fun aunt who plays with them. Do you really see me as family too?'

Phoenix nodded. 'I do... You and Rico... Are the closest thing... I have to a real family... Besides the baby now...'

Tears began to form. Ebony was really touched by that. 'I feel very honored. Never really had a family myself besides the twins. But... I still have a lot of questions for the family that dumped me... if I ever do find them...'

'If you don't... Phoenix said. 'You always have us...' She droppped her antenna to her side again. 'Besides... This little one needs... Some cousins to play with... Your twins are only... Going to be a couple of years older... After all..'

'Good. I don't want to be alone,' said Ebony, 'And I don't want the twins to be in the same position as I was growing up. They need other children their own age... and species... Not saying the human children are bad, but they need at least one of their own to hang around with.'

Phoenix nodded. 'The humans are nice... But they do need... Someone to... Roughhouse with...'

Ebony agreed, 'It would help the twins a lot so that they won't always have to play only with each other all the time. I'd like to see them play with someone that is around their age and species soon.'

'Its still a few months... Before this little one shows up...' Phoenix said. 'I don't want factory option...'
