*I'm relieved when Gear speaks up, though I don't think there was any doubt about whether he'd come* Not much. I know Retro was hurt in the Viper attack and was treated at the hospital, and the doctor says she's a "voluntary guest" now. *I make air quotes around the words* So the best place to start would be the hospital wing of the tower. I'm hoping we'll either find her directly or find someone who can bring up her records or tell us where she is.

*Jump and I listen from the kitchen doorway. I take his hand and lead him into the room. He stiffens a little, knowing what I am about to do* We'll go as well Arson. We're a group now, a team. We need to do this together.

Are you all sure? *I look from one to another, and see the reluctance in Jump's eyes* This isn't just a food run, it's dangerous. Especially for you, PB.

*I nod* Yes, I want to do this. I want to show them I'm not afraid. And I've healed alot.
*I can feel my sore body under the borrowed clothing, but I know that's only half of what they are worried about. I take a deep breath and squeeze Jump's hand* Your worried I'll snap back into BLI-mode when I enter the city, but I know some of you have probably undergone the same or worse. Really, I pity those BLI people even more now than I fear them, conditioned the way they are.
*I turn to Jump, but he pulls away and quickly leaves the room, leaving me standing there akwardly. I turn to Arson before I follow him* We're going. Jump is just as willing as I am, he's just worried for me. We're killjoys, we'll get through this.
*I follow Jump, who has gone outside. He just stares at the road, silent*

He'll be okay, Arson. *She just nods and I stand up* We all will. Or at least, as okay as any killjoys can be when they try to break into the Tower. Like he said, he's not the only one who's been through stuff in there. I mean, you had about as much of a treatment run as he did, right? And you came out of it okay. *I stop talking, not sure if I should have brought that up*

God... yeah, sure. *I run a hand through my hair, trying not to think about all the needles and failing miserably* I came out fine, minus the killer migranes and temporary memory loss. Of course, I haven't had to try my luck since then. I wonder if they still use those shock collars. *I shiver, hoping Retro appreciates the fact that I'm willingly going into the city for her.*

*I nod along with the others.* We're all going. Everyone is in good enough shape now. And, I don't know Retro. Hell, half of us don't . But, what kind of killjoys would we be to cozy up here while you're busting your ass in the city? PB will be fine. *I retreat to the kitchen to finish the food, hoping this Retro girl will be okay*

Sorry... *I silently berate myself for bringing it up so casually* Look, all I'm saying is PB isn't at unusual risk. It's his choice, no one's making him, and we're going to back you up on this no matter what. *She doesn't look particularly cheered up, and I move on* So about actually getting into the city - do you have any ideas? If the wall's still under construction we might be able to find a weak spot and slip through.

*I stand there with Jump, looking down the road, until I can't take it anymore* Look, Jump, you're worried you'll loose me again. I get that, but it's not like we have a choice. While you were out just looking for food I bet you ran into some danger. It's everywhere. And people like Arson and Glass and even Nack, they are willing to risk everything to get one killjoy back. Nack's only sixteen and most of them are younger than us! Look, we stick together and someday we'll die together, it's as simple as that.

What about, Phantom, PB? What about Orwell? Not once have you mentioned our promise, brother. What if we forget and Orwell goes unpunished? Or what if we die doing something else, when we could have been killing the bastard that tortured and killed Phantom?

*I'm shocked by Jump's statement. He's right, of course, but at the same time... maybe I have changed. I think for a second before I speak* Maybe it's more complicated now, Jump. Maybe we'd be selfish fools if we just focused on revenge and ignored the killjoys who have saved our lives.
*Jump groans and crouches in the dirt, holding his head in his hands. I sit next to him and lean against him a little, just to let him know I'm there. We stay that way until they call us in for food*

*Everyone is kind of tense. I do my best to just keep to myself and stay out of everyone's issues. But, when the food js ready I decide to try and reel everyone back in, if only for a couple of minutes.* Alrighty guys, there's food on the stove and the bowls and junk are on the counter. *I peek outside and get the twins.* If you guys aren't hungry that's fine.

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