*I turn around and grab a crutch. I make my way over to her and notice her shaking. My arms make their way around her and I pull her in close.* Mmmm imprisonment. You are sentenced to eternity in my arms. *I snicker and kiss Volume on the cheek.* It's okay.

And if he comes back with a patrol? If we have to shoot our way out and run for our lives? *I refuse to let myself relax just yet. It's very, very probable that I've killed us all this time. The second scenario is the most likely.*

Then we do what we've been doing anyways. *I put my hands on her cheeks and look her in the eyes.* Volume, it's okay. I trust him, and I love you. Both of those reasons are enough for me not to be upset. Just radio me, next time you do something like this. Surprises aren't good for me, not in this time of my life.

*I take a huge, shuddering breath inward and smile sadly.* I'm sorry you have to forgive me for so much. I'll be better this time, I swear I will. You won't have to deal with this again.

Hey, stop it. *I press my forehead against hers and close my eyes.* Just stand here with me and enjoy this moment, will you? It'll be the last quiet moment we get for a while. Just... enjoy it with me, okay?

*I nod slowly and rest my head on his shoulder. I'm happy like this, I think. It makes me feel much less damned and alone.* Thank you.

*I put my hand on the back of her head and stroke her hair.* Have I told you how much I love moments like this? Almost makes me forget that the world ended. *I hold her close and smile* Don't apologize. I'm sure you had your reasons.

They made a lot more sense when I made the choice than when I started to think about it. But I guess just feeling sorry isn't going to change the past, is it? *I sigh and relax a bit, letting my shoulders slump and my arms reach around his waist.* How do you have enough room in your heart to keep forgiving me all the time?

*I rest my head against the side of hers and sigh.* Because up until I met you, there was no one to take up the space. There hasn't been for... a long, long time. I'm not about to lose you over something so pointless. We face life or death everyday. Sometimes the odds sway a little bit more in one direction.

We'll survive this, Aftermath. I mean, we survived Basilisk. We survived the beetle bombs. We survived Manson so far, and we'll survive this. And then, hopefully, you'll have your legs back and won't need to depend on me for something as simple as walking.

I don't depend on you anyways. *I laugh a bit and loosen up my grip* The moment I can move again, though, you can bet Orwell's getting a visit from me. I'll make him know exactly how I've felt.

Oh...Aftermath, I know that revenge would really make you feel better, but...please don't go into Battery City. You'd be one Killjoy in a nest of Dracs. You'd get killed instantly. *I pull myself toward him and rest my forehead against his.* I don't want that.

*I kiss her on the nose and chuckle.* I'm not just a Killjoy, babe. I'm an über class! I've gone into BC so many times. Besides, there's more than one way to kill a Drac. *I pull back and check the clock.* How long until Vico comes back?

A while, I think. The clock in the car is never really right. We probably have enough time for a short nap and some food. Or just more time.

*rb* This is Vico, calling Volume and/or Afterdoo. Or maybe Doctor When if no one else is around. I'm not too picky. Anyone there?

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
