Factor Industries Charity Event: October 18th, 2016

Even for Benjamin Factor, arranging this charity event had been something of a challenge. Just as he held great influence in Gateway City, Thunder Corp's influence in Locke was great as well. But with time and money, all things were indeed possible in this case, and the Memorial Dance Hall was playing host to the night's events. It was a glamorous affair: politicians, captains of business, dignitaries, and celebrities had been invited. For whatever controversy that existed, the world legitimately wanted to heal the wounds left by the invasion, and that meant there were a lot of people who wanted to use events like this to either advance that cause, or to make themselves look good.

But they weren't the only sorts of individuals who had recieved an invitation.

Benjamin Factor had also made it so the Numbered would be invited to his little party. Arrivals through the teleporter would be greeted by drivers at the community center, and the same courtesy was extended to anyone who might live in Locke. The only stipulation? Was that anyone who came make an effort to make themselves presentable. If that was a problem, or anyone arrived without knowing, they had clothes on hand for people to change into.

Indeed, it seemed that the Numbered would be well provided for tonight. That being said, their presence would get people to talk, given the presence of news crews making live coverage. Nevertheless... "getting people to talk" seemed to be exactly what Benjamin Factor wanted to happen.

Lily is beginning to let her tensions release when Molly suddenly rushes up and hugs them both. She lets out a gasp as the wind practically flies from her lungs, but after a moment of befuddlement, she laughs and smiles. Like Winter, she also reaches out and hugs her back, nodding int he affirmative.

"Yes, and... just don't be afraid to ask for help, okay? Whether it's your aunt or us. I think the one thing all of us can agree on is that we want what's best for you. Regardless of anything..."

Be it Lily's own petty little personal issues or things much larger than that.

"...that's what I think we're all going to hold to."

Molly nodded, tears coming to her eyes yet again as she listened to both of their statements. "I will... I promise. I'll be more... I'll be more honest. To you, and Aunt Helen. And maybe... maybe we can change her mind..."

She sniffles and pulls away. Even with the tears running down her face, she's smiling, her cheeks colored red.

"I... I want you both to know... you remind me a lot of my mom and dad. We lived apart because of their work, but... they cared a lot about me. About people. I wish things had been different, but... they loved me a lot, and..."

She smiled wide. "Thank you," she said. "Thank you for helping me... and for helping me remember what they were like..."

Before she could continue, Molly heard her aunt calling out for her. Molly breathed a final word of goodbye, before turning to leave, giving them one last smile before she disappeared behind a corner.
