Drake had heard rumors of a particularly powerful meta making a fuss at the beach. He was interested to see what this was all about. He was curious if it was anyone from the old world that he knew... Either way, it was either someone he knew, or someone he needed to know. Whoever it was they were going to make themselves a target sooner or later and he didn't need that shit causing some kind of situations that would screw him up! So, here he was at the beach looking for this mysterious Meta.

She was lying about brooding but there was obviously signs of sliced sand and scorch marks around her. She heard the feet approaching her and tilted her head enough to see who it was.
She looked back at the sky and remained silent.

"I'll be damned."
Drake would say as he approached Avice. He would stop and stand there above Avice.
"So, you survived."
He would say folding his arms.

“Finally crawled out your ass enough to notice? I thought you’re eyes could see better than that?” She snipped and sat up sand falling from her mess of unruly dark curls.

"Heh, still a bitch. That's not surprising."
He would look at her soul once more this time raising an eyebrow.
"How the hell did your soul become even more twisted? I thought you were fucked up before. But this..."

“I don’t know Drake... I thought for once in me life that I’d have some semblance of comfort and trust to have it ripped from my grasp by an unknown entity who robbed me of eight years of trying to do the right thing and losing even the simplest of luxuries. But I’m not the only one who’s lost everything so what is but another Tuesday, aye?”
Drake might note she hadn’t found Derik yet and she was feeling the weight of what happened and knowing it could happen again without her being prepared for it. He might have also noted she was frustrated with everything and dealing with it alone.

Drake sighed.
"Yeah. Like you said. Just another Tuesday. This world and it's... peace, and happiness, and... disgusting lack of self growth... It's not home, and it will never be home unless this world goes through the hell that happened on our world. So, I get it. Just when you found the rhythm of how to live in a world like our coming here, to this world, and having everything we were used to tossed out the window and losing everything... That makes it hard to adjust to this place. But I don't get why you're as pissed as you are. Don't get me wrong, I know your kid is still MIA, but he is on this world. He survived our world is that not enough to give you some peace of mind? You missed out on 8 years of his life? That sucks, but I'd rather miss 20 years of someone's life as long as it meant they were still alive. So, why aren't you at peace?"

“I’m bothered by the fact what ever did that shit... can do it again.” She pointed in the general direction of the ark. “Can’t say we’ll be so lucky a second time. I thought I lost my boy while we got a peek of what was happening to our world. Thinking about it again...”
She couldn’t finish her sentence.

"Tsk."
He would stomp his foot on the sand.
"Then step the fuck up and get out of your pity party!"
He would then indicate all the damage on the beach that was obviously done by her.
"What is all this? Is it just you throwing a tantrum or is it you trying to get stronger?! Cause way I see it, if you don't want what happened to us to happen here, then we need to get strong enough to surpass it!"
He let his arms drop to his side.
"So, what's it going to be Avice? You gonna stand up and make a difference or sit in self pity, cause let me tell you something, I remember when the tables between us were turned and oh how far down your nose you looked at me then. Well its about damn time you listen to your own advice."

She grabbed a wad of sand and threw it at his general direction. “You fucking idiot have you not noticed the more we use our Qi the easier it gets? This isn’t a pity party, a damn tantrum, or a fucking training session. Since I’ve been here, I’ve had an easier time using my Qi than I have anywhere else I’m testing my theory because I would rather create a scar upon this blighted planet than be caught with facing that thing unprepared. So don’t dare lump me in with you!”

Drake smirked.
"Yeah, getting easier to use every day, I barely get headaches anymore. Imagine how shitty it was for my first few months here."
He would point to his eyes.
"These bitches don't turn off any more so talk about major strain in the beginning."
He would sigh.
"Still, you're obviously bothered. Still hurting, that much is obvious. So what do you need to get you out of this... whatever the fuck you're dealing with?"

“We just got pole-vaulted through space something with that kind of power was beyond what I ever thought of achieving and it took everything we know. What can get me out of this? ...the regret in their eyes as I make them feel just as helpless as they’ve made me realize I am.” She bared her fangs. “Though for starters I’d settle for investing those rioting fucks that took a stab at us with their fucking masks and fucked up weapons.”

"Yeah, I killed a group of them that were attacking one of their own, some little kid they thought was a meta, turns out she's just a little bitch that chose not to leave the apartments when we moved in."
He shrugged.
"Definitely a group that will need to meet it's end. However, here we go again with this powerless talk. Yeah, don't get me wrong, that thing was powerful. Powerful enough to kill all the Dragons, and Territory leaders in one fell swoop. Fucking intense. But you want to know my thoughts?"
He would wait to see if she responded, whether she did or didn't he would continue.
"We just need to become stronger."
He shrugged.
"My father was strong. But every day I'm catching up to him. It won't be long until I catch up to his power, and then what? Should I say that's a good place to stop? Should I just plateau? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to keep growing. My goal was to kill all the Dragons. Well, they're dead. Now, my goal is to kill the son of bitch that destroyed my home, and I'll be damned if I let a small case of depression stop me!"

“Do you fucking think I need some uplifting story speech I already fucking told you I’m not having a pity party and I’m not doing nothing about the problem either. Step off your damn high horse Drake and get off my damn back with that shit. Getting stronger is just a start, I’m certain there is something more to it. I don’t think we are thinking big enough. Powers on that level must be something beyond being within ones skin.”
Now that whole thing was just maybe a guess it could have nothing to do with any thing. She was mostly spit balling thoughts about it all.
“Just saying I could punch rocks for the rest of my life and have some hard ass knuckles and even get stronger but that’s not going to help me understand why that is or think there might be a better way.”

"Why does that even matter?"
Drake would asked pointedly.
