Alan Alan smiled slightly as he listened to Simon, then told him "Oh Simon, it is not you a fear, not you in the slightest. I am afraid of Shade, a person who made the Hostiles look nice and merciful. I not fear pain or death, I fear that the world would lose its foremost leader in imperialistic thought." he seemed quite good at controlling his voice, probably why he could put on such flawless accents. He almost laughed and said "Ha, take you alive? Even I learned that was a bad idea, of course it still took a sword and some gunshots to teach me, but they should have learned."he noticed Simon's shutter in his breath, but thought nothing of it. He kinda ignored the things he said about not caring about politics, not caring that Simon didn't care. As Simon more less listed what Alan didn't deserve he looked at his nails, leaning backwards in an office chair. As he finished he sighed and sounded slightly sad "The person you felt bad for, was a despicable emotional mess of a human being. Years of emotional abuse, and abusive relationships finally broke his personality with the trama of the plane crash. As I am now is not how I was then, that's why you felt bad." he then hung up the phone and sighed, feeling bad about himself and what he had become for a split second before saying "For the good of the many." and taking a nice big sip of brandy.
Hawaii As Josh walked down the backstreet two people walked out in front of him, and another behind him. One of the ones in front of him had a metal baseball pipe, the other had a whip on his belt but nothing in his hand. Behind him the young man drew a Katana from his hip. He let the shiny blade catch the light, as he walked forward. The person behind said "You have upset a very close friend of the Yakusa, apparently you date his woman and raise his son. Well we were asked to deliver a message to you about this, and try not to kill you. Try anyway." on that cue the two in front slammed Josh into a wall and the one with the whip quickly handcuffed him. The same man turned him around and the young man with the Katana walked up to Josh and said "I hope you notice how we don't cover our faces, you see, we understand you are a smart person, smart people don't talk about the Yakusa. Such a pretty smart boy like you will learn what it means to receive a warning, not a punishment." he waited for him to beg a little, because he always enjoyed the begging.
Congo The young woman on the phone happily said "Yes, Alexandria works as a Private Military Contractor for our company. Sense she arrived the rate of riots and strikes have gone down nearly 100%." she then chuckled slightly at him being wary and said "Oh sorry, we had to hire a person.who didn't speak English to do it. The Duch aren't.well liked around these parts. As for the talking, it should be done face to face yes? Shall I dispatch the guide to pick you up?"

"I don't really eat until I'm full all the time...obviously, since I'm underweight' Jenna said. Part of her wondered why they were discussing food of all things, but she decided to respond to him anyway. After a while, anyway, because she mostly listened to what Simon said while looking kinda spacy. "I'm glad you decided to come and stay, Simon" She said to him, smiling at him, but not completely. Even though Jenna was a lot better, she never really smiled as big as some people. But that might just be her nature, and has nothing to do with the fact she still has depression lurking around. She let out a sigh. 'Yeah, I probably should.....' She said quietly. Clearly, Jenna wasn't exactly great at taking care of herself.
While watching Simon just drink down both his drink and her drink in one go, after taking it away from her, she had just stared, thinking he was a little crazy. Though, she knew this was how alcoholics tended to act, or people just going out drinking with buddies. She could not imagine just drinking it down like that without spitting it all back out. 'Before you ask: No, I've never got myself drunk" She told Simon, even though she didn't really expect him to ask. Which she indicated by smiling a little, to show she was being sarcastic about expecting him to ask that. When he sat down next to her, she gave him a concerned look. "Are you okay Simon?" she asked him, but then she felt stupid asking that question, because she knew it was a dumb question. The reason she was asking that was because of how he downed the alcohol.
The main problem for Jenna is she felt something more with Simon, but she knew that Simon didn't feel the same way. Because she could tell he liked Makayla. And she knew he acted more like a big brother with her then anything else. But hearing him confirm it did hit her harder then she liked. She wondered if she really had been waiting for him for 3 years in hopes that he would feel the same way about her, but she seriously doubted it. She felt that part of her had maybe felt that at some point, because she remembered shortly after Simon left her mind thought about him a rather lot, and she realized then that she felt something for Simon. But he was gone, and she knew that Simon probably didn't feel the same way at the time. It really bothered her, and now that he was back, it almost bothered her more. Not that he was back, she liked that. Just her mind being a jerk. Due to her spacy distractions, she didn't notice his eyes glinting in the light. She barely noticed Simon flinching and muttering, and didn't really respond to it. When Simon spoke though, she payed attention. "Yes" She said simply, but then added more to what she said. "I know that. But is that really a bad thing? If you are asexual, then you wouldn't care. If you don't feel attracted to anyone, and maybe not feeling like you love someone. I don't really know how asexuality works. Then it wouldn't matter, because you wouldn't have that feeling in the first place....and I wouldn't have this annoying lump in my throat.....and weird feeling in my stomach..." As she trailed off, her voice started to sound sadder, and now her eyes got noticeably shiny. She blinked a few times, then said a quiet, "I hate this feeling....", and then suddenly she came from laying on the couch to standing up in about a second. 'About a half hour I think' She told Simon in a distant voice. She then wandered around to the front door (I picture the front door leading instantly to the living room, and I'm actually picturing her house looking kinda nice right now), grabbed her coat off the coat rack, which being her, was styled different then your typical coat, and then put it on. "I'm going to step outside for a few minutes to get some fresh air" She told Simon, and then she slipped out the front door. Earlier when Simon was talking to Alan, and sounding more 'scary', and insulting Alan, she sorta just stared and listened, and possibly chuckled a few times.
Molly came back out as soon as Jenna shut the door, which being Molly, gave her a bad impression. It was all because she was protective of her friend, though. So, she accidentally jumped to conclusions, and asked in a serious voice "What did you do?" without thinking. He might of been able to tell that she was just looking out for her friend though, and didn't mean anything bad by asking that. "Did you hurt her feelings?" She asked him curiously, and not in such a serious tone. She had missed the conversation that was going on completely, so she didn't really know what was going on with Jenna leaving the house like that.
As soon as the door shut, Jenna let out a big sigh, making a big poof of breath appear in front of her. She let out a shiver, then pulled out her lighter and a cigarette, then wandered to the back yard so her dad wouldn't see her the instant he pulled up, if he pulled up while she was out. She sat on the cold cement back steps of her house and lit the cigarette, then started to smoke it while staring off into her backyard, all glossy-eyed. She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes, trying hard not to cry. But it was proving harder then she liked, and she wasn't even entirely sure why she was acting the way she was.
Leslie Leslie seemed surprised by the private military contractor part, but didn't really say anything on the matter. He vaguely wondered how the riots and strikes had gone down so much, but decided not to ask. He figured she must just be really good at her job. The idea of seeing Alexandria again just made him happy. He listened to the rest, then looked at Makayla, and said to the girl on the phone,"Yes, you shall"
Josh and Abby Josh froze when he saw two men walk in front of him, one holding a metal baseball pipe. What the hell were these guys up to? He started to back up, only to realize there was someone behind him too, and he started to panic. He thought this city was pretty clean when it came to this kind of thing, but apparently there were gangsters here, and they were targeting him for some reason or the other. He froze at what they said. These guys worked with Alan? Clearly Alan was a freak to go to these extremes. "What's wrong with dating his woman when he specifically broke up with her? What's she supposed to do, be single forever? And I don't really raise her son...she does. I just hang out every now and then...." He said, and his voice had a clear sound of fear in it. But by the time he finished speaking, he was slammed into a wall, and he let out a groan of pain, when he was then forcibly handcuffed. Listening to them, he only said, "What the hell do you want from me?".
Abby was daydreaming. She stared up at the ceiling, smiling at her night with her boyfriend. She was remembering the feel of his hands slowly caressing her skin, the passionate kisses her boyfriend gave her, and just the overall good romantic time she had been wanting for a long time. Even though she despised Alan now, she missed having a lovely romantic time. And having a romantic time with someone she felt she truly loved this time was even better and more enjoyable. Her daydreaming continued though, and she started to imagine more ways her boyfriend was pleasing her, or could please her in the future. Then, she started to imagine him getting even more romantic with her, and starting to take off her clothes, while she was doing the same with him, before she snapped her mind out of that state and shook her head, then decided to just work on some random stuff around her house to pass the time.

Simon blinked at her, then narrowed his eyes in a confused way. "If you CAN be healthy, why do you choose NOT to be?" He asked, sounding sincerely puzzled by the fact. He let out a very faint sigh when Jenna said she was happy he came and stayed, but it was hard to tell what kind of sigh it was. He didn't really say anything else on the subject, and just continued to think she was kind of strange.
He raised an eyebrow slightly at her saying she'd never gotten drunk, and said,”Me neither, I can't afford to get drunk,” Even though he seemed to respond with complete seriousness, something gave the impression that he knew she was kind of joking around. “Um, yeah,” He replied, seeming confused as to why she was asking if he was fine. He then muttered,”As fine as I ever am, that is,” which probably, if she heard it, would convince her that he wasn't fine.
He kind of stared off to space while Jenna mentally ranted to herself. He was spacing because he was confused, himself. He did like Jenna as a sibling, but at the same time, sometimes he felt like he liked her in a different way. He sighed quietly. Feelings could be so damn confusing. When she responded to him, he said,”But you're not asexual, so you do feel attracted to other people. If you were, sure, you probably wouldn't care, but you're not, so I don't believe that you wish you didn't feel anything for anyone else in that way. Besides, there's always a chance that asexual wish they could be attracted to other people, because they might want to be able to feel love with someone they're attracted to, you never know. He visibly flinched when she said something about having a lump in her throat. “You shouldn't wish not to feel,” He whispered, though there was a hint to his voice that gave the impression that he wished he never felt anything for his wife or for Makayla. It made more sense for him, though. He had experienced massive pain from loss because of the feelings. Jenna hadn't. He then promptly flinched again for no apparent reason, and muttered again, but this time it was loud enough for Jenna to hear. It was just a simple,”Shut up,” Though it was clearly not directed at her. He kind of stayed quiet and watched her when she got up and told him when her dad was supposed to get back, then frowned deeply when she said she was going to go outside to get some fresh air.
He looked at Molly when she came in, and he was still frowning. He looked kind of surprised and confused when she jumped to conclusions, then narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, but it was hard to tell if he was annoyed, or thoughtful. “Not intentionally,” He replied quietly, then sighed and leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes. His sigh sounded slightly shaky, like he was trying to avoid crying for some reason.
(Conversation with Alan) “Finally, you actually acknowledge the difference,” Simon said, then snorted when Alan said he didn't fear pain or death. “Bullshit! You feared Shade even before you were any kind of leader. You were always a coward, don't bother trying to convince me you don't fear death. Pain, maybe, you seem to like pain, generally.” He let out a very slight emotionless laugh/scoff sound,”They want me alive to figure out what makes it so Shade is extra strong. I think they want to use it to create super soldiers or some crap like that. I don't know, all I know is they're not very smart.” He let out another laugh that was more of a laugh, but about as emotionless as the last,”I never said I felt bad for you,” He said, his voice filled with venom. That was all he said before Alan hung up, and after he did he sighed and narrowed his eyes at nothing, apparently. He then muttered something to himself and put his phone in his pocket.

Hawaii The seeming leader of the Yakusa people told Josh "What we want is for you to leave Abby. Our friend of the family was very specific about this. You can either leave her, or it shall be death till ye part." the other two members chuckled. He then gave a nod to the guy with a baseball bat and he slammed the bat into Josh's guts. Then he slammed it into his jaw, likely breaking it with the force of the impact. The Katana guy held up his hand "Now now, don't kill him, boss might be upset with us." he then nodded to the other person. The other guy uncoiled the whip, showing it had a sharp steal spike on th end that would dig into Josh's flesh. The Katana guy then nodded and the whip screamed through the air, slicing through Josh's shirt and skin, leaving a keep red gash. The Katana guy, who I will now name Yuki, looked at him and said "Oh yes, bleed pretty boy." in a very sadistic way.
Congo, after small timeskip, about an hour "Oh and this village it has the best Fufu, my sister makes it, you two truly must try." the 50s tour guide told them. He was tall, black, spoke with a French accent, and had a pistol on his hip. He then told them "I tell ya though, you goin need Jesus to protect ya from da Ung Död. She is like a spirit killer, anyone try and make a union here she kill em. She even takes one of their children and tortures them to death. She is worse than the rebels." the man had been blathering on about everything from gold mining to local food, now finally to the merc occupation. They rose in a pickup, Leslie on the far side, and Kayla squashed into the middle. On the back was a merc with a heavy machinegun, who didn't fight yet tonight. The man continued "However, that girl, she scared off the rebel, and government forces. Even the UN doesn't touch the Duch part of Congo thanks to her. Hear they are working with the British guy, to reestablish Duch-British rule over Congo." the truck finally stopped "Here we are, home sweet home. They were parked under a tree next to the 'unions will not be tolerated' sign.
After Leslie and Kayla got out, there was a slight shift in the leaves, then Alexandria flew down, slamming her body into Leslie's. Within a couple of seconds of jumping out of a tree into Leslie she got back up, and had her knees on either side of him and her sword to his throat, pressing hard enough that a small trickle of blood ran down the blade. She chuckled very darkly, and her eyes held a crazy gleam to them "Hello Leslie, the Ung Död welcomes you."

Jenna's response to what Simon said about if she can be healthy, why isn't she was to fall into silence, and say absolutely nothing. So, her response was nothing. Her eyes gazed around the room at other various things, then at her feet, but she never responded to his question, which was probably enough of an answer to Simon that she had no real good reason for it at all. She raised an eyebrow at his sigh, but still didn't say anything.
She seemed suspicious of what Simon said. "So you would get drunk if you could?" She asked him, though she said it in a joking way to avoid offending him.....At least as much. She already wasn't sure if she believed that he was fine, and she gave him a weird look. "I was just wondering because you just drank down both my alcohol and yours very quickly" She said to him. She still thought it was a little funny he stole her alcohol, just so he could drink it himself. She thought that maybe one of these days she should do the same with him, to act like she was trying to take care of him and keep him from drinking so much.
Listening to what Simon said, she bit her lip again. What he said was probably true. Even if part of her did feel that way, not feeling that now would probably just be worse. "I just wish it wouldn't feel like this...." She said quietly. When he said that she shouldn't wish to not feel, she couldn't think of anythig to say, and just fell silent again. She raised an eyebrow when he said "Shut up", but she knew who he was talking to, and didn't ask about it. Then, she left.
Molly seemed a little alarmed at herself for jumping to conclusions, and decided to apologize. "I don't know why I said that. I apologize for jumping to conclusions" She said to Simon, and sat down on the couch next to him. She seemed thoughtful for a moment, when she looked at Simon again and spoke. "Maybe you should go talk to her, make sure she's okay" She suggested, smiling at him. "I'll just wait here" She added.
Josh Tears started to form in his eyes. How was he going to explain this to Abby? Just leaving her like this? He loved her, and he really didn't want to just leave her. He had been friends with her for an entire year, and then this happens? And he felt that today, he was getting to an even higher level of love for her. This was where the complaining came in. "Why are you doing this?" He asked sadly, right as he was hit in the gut by the baseball bat, which made him double over. Then, he was hit in the jaw, and he felt and heard a loud cracking noise, and as you would expect, he practically screamed in pain. After he was done screaming in pain, he spit out some blood. Then, before he had much time to do anything else, he was whipped by a creepy-looking whip, and he shouted in pain again. "Please! Stop! How am I supposed to explain this to Abby?" He asked desperately, really wondering how he's going to explain being brutally beaten and then suddenly leaving her when it seemed like he loved her most.
Leslie To the first thing the tour guide said, he gave him a quick smile in response. Mostly, he just listened to the guy, and acknowledged him with a nod. He tried very hard to actually listen and not seem rude, but some of the stuff he talked about really didn't interest him, and he had a hard time focusing on what he was saying properly. He didn't like the sound of this Ung Död, and the fact this Ung Död was female and not some evil male mercenary was surprising, because it was typically the males that seemed to be big Mercenary leaders. It was a refreshing change, even if she sounded scary. Looking over at the guy with the big machinegun in the pickup made him nervous, just because the whole big giant gun next to him made him uncomfortable. The rest of what he said he didn't really understand, so he just nodded and got out of the pickup truck when they arrived to 'home sweet home'.
Leslie looked around, curious about the place, and wondering where Alexandria was so he could meet her. He would find out where she was sooner then he anticipated, though, and not quite in the way he expected to either. Before he could really react or have much of a response to anything, he was on his back, and pinned down by Alexandria, with a sword to his throat. That's the part that really threw him off. He felt the blade cut into him ever so slightly, but right now he didn't really react to it and more reacted to the fact Alexandria had a sword to his throat. Then, when she said who she was, he had a shocked look on his face. "W-Wait, you are the feared one?" He asked her, and he felt as if Alexandria's last bit of sanity was now gone, based on how she was acting. "Alexandria, is this really how to greet someone? I missed you...." He said, and a sad look came to him when he said the last part, because he felt that even though he missed her, she didn't feel the same and now wasn't the girl he used to know.

“It was a joke,” Simon said, rather bluntly, like he didn't believe she was actually joking about it. He raised an eyebrow at her slightly,”I was thirsty, for one, and for two, I was getting rid of it so you couldn't take it back,” He said jokingly. The thing with him taking it from her, rather then her taking it from him was that he was old enough to drink, she wasn't, and that was why he did it, so her taking it from him would just be kind of silly. There was the other fact that it would probably be harder to take from him, just because he had a stronger force of will with stuff like that.
“We can't, and shouldn't, just wish our feelings away,” Simon said, frowning slightly, as if despite what he said, he wished he couldn't feel it, either. Clearly he was someone who didn't exactly move on very fast. Over three years since his wife died, and he still felt the pain nearly just as much as he had that day. Not quite as bad, because otherwise he probably would have killed himself by now.
“I understand,” He replied, his voice hardly louder then a whisper. And he did understand. He understood protecting her friend, specially from a boy who she liked that was probably known for having a temper and split personalities. He opened his eyes when she spoke, causing a tear to run down his cheek,”Why don't you talk to her?” He asked, his voice perfectly even despite the fact he seemed to be crying.
(Makayla) Makayla just stayed quiet throughout the tour. She did look extremely uncomfortable when the guide started talking about the Ung Död, and she also seemed really uncomfortable with the big gun. She hated even being near a small gun, I can only imagine how she would feel near a big one. Weirdly enough though, she thought it was kind of cool at the same time as being terrified by it, even if it wasn't intended to be used on them.
She let out a slight yelp when Alexandria jumped out of the tree on to Les. When she pressed the sword to Les' neck, Makayla looked an awful lot like she was about to kick Alexandria in the face. “Get off my brother!” She snapped, though her voice wavered. She really wasn't a brave person, but she would always stand up for her brother. Who knows, she might even be willing to die for her brother, if it came to it. Never know until it comes down to it, though.

Yakusa When Josh asked why Yuki simply answer "Boss said so, we don't disobey the boss." he seemed entertained by Josh getting tortured, for some sadistic reason. Yuki knelt next to him and said "My best bet would be to tell her exactly what happened and why. However assure she understands that going to the cops would mean you will suffer a very unfortunate, painful, and ultimately deadly accident. Death by drowning, burning or freezing probably, not good ways to go clearly." he then reached in his pocket "Oh also, we were supposed to offer you $20,000 before the beating to break up with her. Oh well, take the cash and leave her." he dropped an envelope on him and then gave him a gash across his stomach with the Katana. He then waved to his gang members and they left.
Alexandria Alexandria watched Leslie "I torture and kill people if that's what you mean. Oh and rape, can't forget the rape." when she heard Makayla she stabbed her sword into Leslie's shirt, right next to his jugular. She then backfliped herself to her feet and walked up to Kayla, she quickly grabbed the back of her head with one hand and held her sword to her neck with the other. She then looked into Kayla's eyes, her own eyes held a dead and haunting look to them "I used to see you as a sister, you know that right?" she then slowly moved her hand from the back of her neck and said "One sudden move and I will still slice your neck open." she then firmly felt her up and added "But, my sisters were all raped and killed, so why should you get special treatment? After all, it is Leslie who I am punishing. He gets to watch what I did, he gets to watch his family die in front of his eyes." she noticed a mercenary who looked sick to his stomach and said "Your judging me." she shoved Kayla to the dirt and yanked her pistol from its holster and unloaded it the merc's chest with one final shot to the head while screaming "Don't fucking judge me!" the other locals and mercs just ran away, not wanting to deal with this, they didn't get paid enough to die by her hands.

Jenna bit her lip when she made Simon talk to her bluntly, because she felt bad for making him act bluntly. So, she said nothing more to that. "I don't typically drain 2 glasses of hard alcohol quickly when I'm thirsty" She joked back to him, and to the part where he was joking, she let out a sigh. "Just because you can legally drink doesn't mean you should drink a bunch and I shouldn't drink at all" She joked, and there she really was joking. "See, I need you Simon. You keep your little sister in check" She joked again, and the weirdest part was how much smiling was involved with her joking.
To what Simon said about they shouldn't wish their feelings away, and can't wish their feelings away, she let out a sigh. As much as part of her wanted to agree with that, and did, another part of her still wished she didn't feel this way, because it was bloody irritating. Though, she knew that one day she would be glad that she could feel these feelings, even if it was years from now. And if she had to feel 'lovesick' for a while before she got over it and just went back to feeling better, as in not as depressed as she used to be but still depressed some days.
Molly smiled at Simon seeming to understand what she was saying. She liked people that understood when someone was just being protective of her friend. Though, she knew people could be overly protective, and that was just more annoying. She didn't want to be one of those people. Especially since she had her own problems with her parents being overly protective of her sometimes....Which she guessed was understandable with how many boys she had kissed within the last year alone. They were probably beginning to think their own daughter was a slut or something. She visibly shuddered at that thought, then went back to paying attention to reality. She noticed he was crying, and was about to say something, when instead she shrugged. "Suit yourself" She said, and then headed for the front door.....which her answer was a little odd to his question.
It took her only about 30 seconds to come back into the house when she realized Jenna wasn't there. "Either Jenna moved to the backyard or something, or she's not here and went on a walk. Because she's not in the front yard, that's for sure" She said to Simon, and looked a little worried for a moment. But, to make sure she wasn't jumping to conclusions again that she ran off for a while or went on a walk without saying anything because she was angry, she checked the backyard. She was relieved when she saw Jenna there, and let out a sigh, then went outside.
Jenna heard the door open and the footsteps of whoever was there, and quickly hid her cigarette the best she could. Though, obviously the smell would still be on her breath. Her friend put her hands on her shoulders, and sat down next to her and asked if she was alright, and being Jenna, she of course nodded, even though she didn't feel alright. Which her friend figured was a lie with how glossy-eyed Jenna looked, because clearly she had been crying or was on the verge of crying. Also, her friend wasn't stupid, and she smelled the smoke on Jenna's breath, but she just didn't say anything about it. She had smelled it for a long time on Jenna's bad days. She just didn't feel any need to get on Jenna's case about it, and left it be. Especially since she wasn't exactly perfect herself, and she'd feel somewhat like a hypocrite, even if she had never smoked herself. She also wondered what the chances of Jenna's dad smelling the cigarette's and alcohol was, but didn't say anything. Instead, she just put her arm around Jenna's shoulder, and pulled her to her side, which made Jenna smile a little.
"It will be alright Jenna. These emotions leave after a while" Molly said to Jenna, and she didn't mean the depressing emotions, because she knew that those leaving Jenna wasn't as simple as them leaving easily. She meant the fact she clearly liked Simon and she was feeling bad about something related to that, which she assumed was that Simon didn't really feel the same, even though she didn't hear the conversation. She had dealt with enough relationships herself, and helping others with them that she could tell the signs. Jenna on the other hand she knew never had a relationship, so she didn't know how to cope with it so much. "Just come inside. Yeah, getting the emotions out is a good thing, and I'll leave you to that. But staying out here for too long isn't good either. And I came over to spend time with you, not have you stay outside the whole time" She said, joking with the last part, clearly.
Jenna didn't react to the first thing her friend said, because there was no real need to have a reaction. She believed her, but didn't have anything to say. To what her friend said next, she still didn't really have anything to say in response. Though, with what she said last, she did chuckle and smile at her friend, then pretty much hug her. "You are a good friend" She told her simply, and she kept hugging her for an extended period of time as if she didn't want to let go of her friend. As if letting go of her would make her lose her best friend.
Molly chuckled at Jenna's hugging, but smiled brightly at her best friend. "You are a good friend too, Jenna" She said, and as happy as she felt hugging her friend back, she also felt sad for her friend, and showed it by frowning. She rubbed Jenna's back, and after she finally let go of her, she spoke again. "I'll be inside. If you need me I'll be kissing Simon" She joked just to see Jenna's reaction, and when Jenna gave her the "You wouldn't" look, she burst out laughing. "Why so serious? I was joking. I'll just be waiting inside for you to come back, but I'll give you some alone time" She said, and Jenna playfully shoved her friend with a smile on her face, and shaking her head at her friend. Her friend really could cheer her up, at least now. When she first met her best friend however, that was another story. Back then she was still in her really bad state of depression, where she literally never smiled.
Molly came back in, and sat back down on the couch. "Jenna should be back inside in a couple of minutes" She said to Simon, and she seemed to have a satisfied look on her face at the fact she got Jenna to come back in so quickly. She thought of saying to Simon that she was smoking, but she figured that Simon would find that out for himself in some way or the other. "She just needed a little alone time is all" She continued.
After her friend left, she went back to smoking her cigarette she half hid, because it was still burning, and let out a sigh. More tears came pouring out of her eyes shortly after her friend left, in a way that seemed like she was just letting it all out now. She wasn't crying loudly, either. Really, she was rather quiet for crying the way she was. It didn't take long for her to almost feel better getting it all out, as much as her mind was still a race of mixed up thoughts.
After a few more moments of just sitting there, thinking about whatever was racing through her mind, which was a ton of stuff, she wiped her eyes dry with her sleeve the best she could, and put out her cigarette. She went over to the trash can and opened it up, then threw it away and hid it the best she could, before shutting the lid and heading inside. When she came into the living room though, she still looked rather grim, and she wasn't smiling. Though, her friend looked satisfied with herself for having her prediction be right, that she would come in soon. Simon could probably tell that, even though Jenna dried her eyes relatively well, that she had been crying a fair amount. Her eyes themselves were still wet, for one. What Jenna did when she got back however, was go up to wherever Simon generally was located, and put her arms out to Simon as if she wanted a hug, but she decided to wait for Simon to hug her first, if he wanted to, because he might of been still sitting down and all.
Josh "But...but does Alan really want her to despise him even more?" Josh said, automatically assuming the person making the orders was probably Alan. He didn't know for a fact, but it seemed the most likely people to send mercenaries after him. Especially 'friend of the family'. Because he was good at keeping out of trouble, so he wouldn't have any debts to pay with scary people and such. He started to sob at the idea of leaving Abby, because he wasn't a very so-called manly man who acted heartless and never cried. To the last thing he said, he was too distraught to care. Though, he did react to getting the gash on his stomach, and he fell over again, then slowly but surely got up, covered his wounds with his hand, half-assed grabbed the envelope of money, and practically dragged himself to the nearest Hospital.
Leslie "B-but....Alexandria, don't be like the people that killed your parents. What happened to you?" Leslie asked, seeming upset with how Alexandria was acting. He had felt something for her still for all these years, but now he felt all those feelings leaving him, which depressed him, when he found out how Alexandria was now. He let out a gasp when he was nearly stabbed, but let out a sigh when he wasn't actually stabbed where he would bleed to death. Not that he was smart enough to actually know where his jugular was located on his body....but he didn't really like the idea of being stabbed anyway. Which made logical sense. "Don't you dare hurt Kayla! Alexandria, think of your family! Think of what they did to you! Don't be like them! Don't hurt Kayla!" He begged, tears forming in his eyes now. Apparently everyone was crying. He jumped when Alexandria went batshit insane and shot her own Mercenary, and just thought she was outright insane from that point on. "I-I loved you, Alexandria. And this is how you repay me? I cared for you. I tried to help you..." He said, feeling betrayed. Betrayed by Alexandria, and guilty for wanting to see Alexandria so bad that he got Makayla into this terrible situation.

“Two glasses is not 'a bunch',” Simon replied jokingly,”And it DOES mean YOU shouldn't drink at all. Why do you even drink, anyway? You're not that depressed anymore, and it just makes you feel like shit in the morning if you drink to much. You should just avoid it. I mean, you don't even seem to like the taste,” He said, smiling at her saying he keeps his little sister in check.
Simon just kind of sat there though the two parts with Jenna wishing her feelings away and Molly being happy he understood, since he didn't really have much to respond to. He just sat there staring at nothing. Well, being him, he may not having been staring at nothing, just nobody else could see it. When Molly came back in and said she wasn't there, he frowned even more deeply, but said nothing.
After Molly went into the backyard, Simon's expression slowly changed to sad and upset, to more and more annoyed. After a bit he got up and started pacing, muttering to himself and putting his fingers to his temples. His muttering slowly became louder, though it stayed just above a whisper, and more irritated sounding. Just as Molly walked in the room, he kind of yelled,”Oh, just shut UP!” and immediately froze when he saw her. After a bit, he unfroze,”Um, good,” He said. He was acting awkward because he had just acted totally insane in front of her. She had just been telling him that she was worried about Jenna, too. Maybe rightfully. He then went and leaned against a wall, apparently not feeling like sitting down right now.
When Jenna came back in and had clearly been crying, he frowned more, if it was possible. He looked surprised when she came up to him and acted like she wanted a hug, but hugged her nonetheless. “I'm sorry I upset you,” He said quietly and sadly.
(Makayla) Makayla watched Alexandria with a look of hate and disgust in her eyes, as well as looking like she was about to kick Alexandria's arse if she needed to. Or try, anyway. She tensed up and started trembling when Alexandria put the sword to her throat, but looked back into her gaze steadily. “Nice to see how you treat your sister,” She said, somehow managing sarcasm right now. “Why did you become a monster, like those people you were so determined to kill on the Island?” She asked, frowning and getting even more shake. When Alexandria shoved her to the ground, she kind of rolled backwards over her head and came to her feet, surprised at herself that she actually managed it, but not having any time to think about it. She ran at Alexandria quickly and did a kind of jump-kick move on her, hoping to catch her off guard. Even if she didn't catch her off guard, she was close enough to Alexandria to stop her from being able to point a gun at her very well, and in a much better position to defend herself from the sword, too.

BBC "Today the British Navy has received its new Battlecruisers and carriers, restoring British Naval Supremacy for the first time sense World War Two." the female reporter informed her viewers. She seemed to be beaming with pride as she continued "Right Honourable Lord Alan Haskayne, because of this the Navy of Britain has named him the Right Honourable Lord of Admirals Alan Haskayne, making him the official ruler of the British Navy. He has assured the British public that this will simply be a title and he has no reason to formally use it." she continued with "In a related story the British Military have invested in several new designs of Unmanned Drones, including a new tracked and mecha units from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Japan respectively."
Alan Alan sat back on his private yacht with his trusted friend. His friend looked at his laptop "How in the Hell did you get these codes. UAV codes from every major nation in the world, fascinating." Alan sounded impatient "The super computer, is it ready?" the geek nodded quickly "Yes sir, yes yes, I can control any UAV drone from across the world." the geek then smiled up at Alan who said "Good job Caroline." the other female on the boat walked around and said "As you know the North Korean military is on board." an Arab man chuckled "Persia is on board. Though I must say, why are you and your wives so young?" all three blushed and asked in unison "Wives?" the Arab men just chuckled and waved off their question.
America President Mitt Romney issued a statement that said "The Persia the greatest threat to democracy in the world, with its recent invasion of Kuwait and continued atomic program the United States will have no choice but to intervene in its affairs. However due to a 'blockade of peace' made by Japan, China, and the United Kingdom we will be unable to do this due to the recent sale of one of our aircraft carriers we will be unable to take down this force."
Congo "I lost the first good thing that happened to me sense the island. That's what happened my love." Alexandria told Leslie in a depressing way. She kinda ignored Kayla, she was more less in a psychotic zone, she ignored Leslie's pleas as well, seeming kinda dead from her expression. When Kayla tried to kick her, she quickly stepped to the side, smashed her knee into her back, smashed her nose with her fist, and then stabbed a short sword into her lung from the side. She let Kayla hit the ground then said "Tisk tisk Kayla, do you forget my combat prowess? I am a professional soldier for hire in the Congo." she then walked over and yanked her sword out of the ground "Leslie, I will give you a choice. You can either both die, or I can kill you, and Kayla gets that much time to run away." she shrugged slightly, figuring that Kayla wouldn't get far.

Jenna jokingly rolled her eyes at him. "I know if I drank those 2 that quickly I would be drunk right now" She said. At what Simon said next, she seemed to frown, and look thoughtful. "I only drink on the bad days or when I'm stressed or have bad nerves" She told him. It's not like she really was addicted to alcohol or anything, since she seemed to have control of when she could drink. Which, her saying earlier that she was having a bad day until he showed up, probably gave him more of the impression she was stressed or having bad nerves, probably just because she was excited to see Simon again. "I just use it to calm down a little, not to get absolutely wasted" She continued. But at the same time, she still frowned. "But you are right, I should avoid it...." She said, letting out a sigh.
Molly had also frozen when Simon shouted "Shut up!" to seemingly nothing. She raised an eyebrow and gave him a questioning look for about 15 seconds, before she just figured his mind was rushing about random crap and he was just telling his mind to shut up. She had done that before when her mind thought about boys too much, or worried about Jenna too much, even if she didn't do it quite so vocally. Everyone had their own ways of telling their minds to shut up. And he was probably more telling his mind to shut up because of stuff going through his head with how Jenna was acting. However, she said nothing.
Jenna felt comforted by the hug, and she hugged Simon tightly, though not uncomfortably tightly. She rested her head against his chest, and she started to cry a little again. Now, she wasn't even sure why she was crying. Probably because her emotions where just all over the place and unstable, which wasn't exactly unusual for Jenna. "It's okay, Simon. Things happen. It's better to get it over with sooner then later" She told him quietly, not moving from having her head rested against his chest. She then clung onto his shirt while hugging him, trying not to dig her nails into him too bad. "And don't think about leaving again, Simon. I missed you and I'll get over this feeling, and we'll move on and I'll have a good friend back. If you leave I'll just be more upset" She told him, as if she automatically assumed Simon was thinking about leaving again because he thought he just hurt her more coming back. She hoped that wouldn't offend him or anything, And there was the likely possibility he could smell that she had been smoking again, since it wasn't exactly easy to hide the smell. And for him, he would probably of thought Jenna had quit, since she had done a really good job at it during the time on the island.
After their little moment, Molly chimed in to say something, because while Jenna and Simon had been talking to each other, she was looking at her phone and text messaging to let them have their little chat in peace. "Hey, the girls and I are going to a party later. You are welcome to come, Jenna. You too, Simon" She said to them, then looking at her phone again to send another text message.
"Nah, I'm okay Molly. Have fun with the girls. You know how I am about parties. I'd just sit in the corner through the whole party, because I get uncomfortable at big parties. Yeah, I'm not completely anti-social or anything, I just don't like big parties. And I know what kinds of things happen at big parties full of teenagers" Jenna said, a hint of joking in her voice at the last sentence, and the grin she had confirmed it. "Meaning I want nothing to do with big teen parties. Drugs, alcohol, and smoking? I already have...had enough issues with smoking, and I don't trust myself enough not to drink too much at a party like that. Then I might get stupid and try drugs too. I already told you the story about how I forced myself from trying heroin on the island. Not that all teen parties are like that, obviously. Who's running it?" She asked her friend, wiping her eyes with her sleeve. She wasn't really crying anymore, because she pushed those emotions back right now to talk to Molly, but her eyes were still wet.
"Gee Jenna, no need for a novel" Molly joked. She then sighed and shrugged. "Okay, suit yourself. I get what you mean. And I forgot about the fact you don't really feel comfortable at big parties full of hormonal teenagers" She said jokingly, apparently trying to make it sound worse. "Josh is hosting the party. You know, that friend of Emily's?" She asked.
Jenna chuckled at her friend, then listened before responding to what she said next. "Great way to try to convince me to go, Molly. You just made it sound worse. I don't need a bunch of drunk, high, hormonal teenaged boys drooling over me and trying to find some way to get in my pants. And don't tell me they wouldn't try. You've already witnessed a creepy boy trying overly hard to hit on me. Sometimes I wish I wasn't considered to be pretty...." Jenna said with a sigh, then biting her lip for some unknown reason. "Oh, Josh? Really? I think you are trying to think of every possible way to convince me not to go" She joked, clearly lightening up a little again. Though, all her joking and laughing seemed a little less.....happy then it was when she was joking with Simon earlier.
Molly laughed probably more then she should of when Jenna talked about drunk, high, hormonal teenaged boys trying to get in her pants. "Okay, okay, you convinced me you should stay" She joked. Then she started to get all into a mode to make sure Jenna's self-esteem stayed higher. "Hey, Jenna, don't wish that on yourself. You are fine the way you are. Being pretty is good, even if it has it's annoying moments. Just the main thing is don't be harsh on yourself" She said, which made it sound like she had to deal with Jenna having some self-esteem issues before, so she had jumped quickly to 'protective' mode. Which she had, when there were times when Jenna said the exact opposite....that she felt more on the ugly side then on the pretty side, and that it bothered her sometimes. Now, she was bothered by being too pretty? Her best friend could really confuse her sometimes. To the last part she just laughed.
Jenna smiled and chuckled at her friend, "Hey, Molly, it's okay. I'm not having self-esteem issues right now. You don't need to worry about me" She said, giving her friend a reassuring smile. Now, if she was believable, that was another story. It was more likely she would be having self-esteem issues about the fact she was drinking and couldn't quit smoking, or about her terrible luck of finally feeling something for a boy and him not feeling the same, or something along those lines.
Molly smiled, and said, "Just making sure". Then, she got another text message, and looked at it and said, "Hey, is it okay if Emily and Gabby come over to your house to hang out for a bit before we head to the party?" She asked, and Jenna nodded, apparently not caring to get the approval of her dad for anything. Which probably meant she already checked in with her dad if it was okay to invite her friends over while he was gone.
Molly then looked over to Simon, and simply asked, "So, do you want to come to the party, or do you want to stay with Jenna?". Then she smirked and said, "You would be a favorite amongst the girls at the party", as if Simon really gave a crap. Though, she knew he probably didn't, but was just saying it to joke around. Jenna just rolled her eyes at her friend in response.
Leslie Leslie just frowned at what became of his girlfriend, of the girl he fell in love with (Unless he just banged her up without loving her at all, which would be a pretty terrible feeling for me), and was to have a child with, until that went horribly wrong. Her ignoring him pissed him off too, but he didn't really react because he figured there wasn't really anything he could do without just getting himself killed. Especially since she was probably pretty determined to have him dead right now. He just watched the fight with a terrified expression, sadly only for Makayla. Even though he felt the feelings still there for Alexandria, they were mostly gone, and confused. So his main concern was for his sister now, because he knew Alexandria was just crazy. "Is that all you want Alexandria? Me dead? Please, just spare Kayla, and kill me if that's what you want. Kayla had nothing to do with this. Please, just let her go" He pleaded some more, instead of really answering her question at all.

Simon let Jenna hug him as long as she wanted, though he himself was just kind of busy spacing out, though he did have his arms around her. When she spoke, he blinked as if she had woken him from a trance, and just gave her a slight smile. After that he went back to spacing. Until Molly said something about a party, and that he was invited. It was probably obvious by the look on his face that he would most definitely not be going.
He kind of just listened quietly to everything Jenna and Molly said. He had no clue what most of it was about, other then a party full of people he had no idea who they were. Assuming Jenna had let go of him by now, he went over to the couch and sat down. He continued to just listen, kind of spacing out at the same time.
When Molly asked if a couple more friends could come over, he frowned slightly, thinking they were getting a few to many strangers here for his taste. Sure, there were more people on the Island, but it was different when you weren't suddenly thrown into a life or death situation with them. And these were Jenna's friends, not strangers...He wasn't sure why that made it worse, but it did.
When Molly asked him if he was going to go, he shook his head,”Definitely not,” He said, sounding almost scared at the idea of a party. And being a favorite among the girls. “I've never been to any kind of party before, and I have no interest in starting now,” He told her. The only party type thing he had even been close to being part of was the celebration that his captors had had when they caught him. Not exactly good memories of parties. That wasn't why he didn't want to go, however.
(Makayla) When Alexandria dodged her kick and kicked her in the back, Makayla kinda half-fell, half rolled forward, kind of half dodging the punch to the face. Assuming that Alexandria adjusted her stab to still get her, Makayla came to her feet just in time to grab Alexandria's hand before the sword could reach her. This only worked because it was a short sword. “No, I didn't, but I learned, too,” She replied, rolling to the side and coming up in front of Leslie. “Don't be silly. I seriously doubt she would let me go even if you die,” She said to him, standing between him and Alexandria. “Just let us go, Alexandria. You kill us, you'll likely have to live with not only the grief of losing your child, but your boyfriend or whatever you considered Les, as well as someone who you used to consider a sister. You let us go, and you won't have that extra grief.”

Alexandria looked at Leslie for a moment and said "Fucking beg for it, beg for me to kill you painfully, with slow brutal torture. I want to hear you sound like I did on that beach, begging for them to drown me, or burn me alive just to let my little sister live. Me and my brother both begged for every possible painful death. He got a painful death, and for him it ended. Every night sense then I have seen my little sister, begging me to save her. Oh god, the smells and noises she made as she burned from the inside out, I just want to shoot myself. But then I found you, and you helped me, you helped take my mind off of it. Then you betrayed me, I was a good girl, I cooked and cleaned, and washed your clothes, but still, our baby was taken. So I blame you for that, you, for doing that to me in the first place." she watched him, cold and unfeeling. As Kayla got back on her feet she chuckled at her and said "I only said I would give you a running start, not that I would let you live." She then smirked at Kayla in a sick way when she stood between her and Leslie "Oh dear, it does seem you have a death wish, who am I to keep that from you?" she pulled out an SMG and fired a blast on full auto into Kayla's chest area.

Molly just shrugged. "Okay, suit yourself" She said. She noticed he seemed almost...scared at the idea of a party, but didn't really say anything about that. Instead, she went back to texting on her phone, staring at her phone instead of paying attention to anything else going on at the moment.
A bit later, while Jenna pretty much just sat down next to Simon, but didn't say anything, her father walked through the door. She got up when she heard the door open, and smiled over at her dad, though her dad knew something must of been wrong, because he could tell the signs of his daughter crying. Right now, he just figured she had a bad day, because he knew she still had off days quite frequently. "Hello dad" Jenna said to her dad, hugging her dad tightly. If there was one person she loved in the entire world, it was her father. And her mother, but that was another story. "How was your day?" She asked her dad, and he just shrugged. Molly came over and said "Hello Mr. Jane", giving him a polite smile. He smiled back, and then noticed Simon. "Who's this? A friend of yours Molly?", and Molly shook her head. "It's that friend I told you about, dad. Simon. Simon, meet my dad" She said, seeming somewhat uncomfortable by Simon meeting her dad for some reason. He smiled, and put his hand out to Simon to shake his. "It's nice to meet you Simon. Jenna has talked a lot about you, and she said that you two are good friends" He said, and Jenna shuffled uncomfortably. If only her dad knew what had just happened....how she pretty much showed Simon that she really liked Simon. It would be proof that she definitely felt that way about Simon. Though, Simon was definitely good friends with her, obviously, since they pretty much had a brother/sister relationship.
Leslie Leslie listened to Alexandria, frowning at what she was saying. "I'm sorry, Alexandria. I'm a human. I'm flawed. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. It's no reason to act like the same people who killed your sister. Don't be like them. Please, I only meant to help you. It was never meant to lead to that....And then it just got worse, with the miscarriage and all....Please, just give me a second chance" He begged, trying to convince Alexandria to, well, give him a second chance. He got to his feet too, but as soon as Alexandria started firing the SMG at Makayla, he closed his eyes, because he couldn't take seeing his sister be riddled with bullets like that.

Simon just kind of sat quietly, spacing out, until Jenna's dad came in. He blinked and stood up, then shook her dad's hand. "N-nice to meet you," He said, his voice faltering slightly for not apparent reason. Once he released her dad's hand, his own hand clenched into a fist and unclenched. He put his other hand to his head and rubbed his temples, then said,"Excuse me..." And headed out into the backyard, where he proceeded to have a muttered argument with Shade, and some of his other personalities. Right now his other personalities were worse then normal, in how their 'thoughts' took up most of the thinking space that he had, and it made it very very hard to think, or concentrate. His thoughts spun around and around, seeming to have no direction, other then Shade's urging him to kill them all. He put both his hands on his head,"Shut up....Shut up! SHUT. UP!" He shouted, before falling over on his rear. He put his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. He was now trembling from head to foot,"Silence!" He whimpered, putting his hands over his ears as if that would do something. He rocked back and forth, tears running down his face as he shook his head back and forth, both hands in his hair.
(Makayla) "How can you blame him for your baby being stillborn?! He had nothing to do with it, it's not his fault! He can't change nature, no matter how cruel it may be. As for getting you pregnant, you went along with it, didn't you? That's as much of your fault as his," Makayla said. Somehow, when Alexandria pulled her SMG out, she managed to dodge that, as well. As soon as she saw it, she threw herself on the ground, effectively kicking Leslie's legs out from under him at the same time, which got him out of the way of the bullets, as well. "Just let us go, and you won't have to live with the regret of killing us! You've lost enough- way to much, don't make yourself lose more," She said, not quite sure what to do.
