And, while we're on a Rachel-and-Blaine-working-together track--I loved the Anderberry sibling meme, but it didn't strike any inspiration at all. Until this one:
Yeah, that one hit me like a ton of bricks.
The year that Rachel turned eleven, a spaceship crashed into Big Ben. That Christmas, aliens dragged a third of all the people on earth up to the edges of their roofs, just daring the world to bet they wouldn't jump.
Rachel's life started making a lot more sense after that.
She still wasn't allowed to say how much she knew about aliens at school, that Dad had designed a whole secret sub-basement to hold Daddy's files and computers and arsenal, or that her other dad, the one she was supposed to call by name, had been teaching her how to shoot when he came by for visits since she was seven. Dad said it wasn't safe, and Daddy said there was a reason he'd gotten out of government contracting before Rachel was born, and Jack...
well, Jack stopped visiting, the summer of the year Rachel turned 11, so he didn't say much at all.
