Okay. I trust you. I just hope that we can win.... *I quickly dart over and hug Aftermath tightly.* I know I just said that I wished we were civilians sometimes, but the things we would lose far outweigh the health benefits. You know that, right?

*I look Volume in the eyes and smile* I wouldn't have my life any other way, Volume. Now go. *I start pulling guns off the wall, just in case, and sling them over my back. Then I head out the door to the main room.*

*Vol brings me into my room and i collapse on the bed* Why couldn't you just... listen to me? I asked you... to go... to the basement... Why?

I didn't want to lose you. I thought that if I left, he might use you as bait. He might kill you. I just...don't know anymore. I don't know. *I stare blankly into space.* I am so sorry...I will accept any punishment you choose for me.

I wanted to protect you... all of you. That's why I gave an order. That's what orders are FOR, Volume! Can't you understand that? *I put my head in my hands and try desperately not to sob* I can't lose someone else! Not under my command!

I guess I can't understand it. There's a reason no one ever puts me in charge. I really, really suck at leading. *I want to do something to comfort him, lay a hand on his shoulder, give him a hug, anything. But anything I can do would only make it worse.* I can try to go and get her. I'm sure I'd be able to get her back in one piece....Maybe not myself, but that's better for everyone.

What makes you think that would make things any better? Everything I did was to try and protect you. I just... need you... and everyone else to listen to me... I need to get serious... I can't be nice anymore....

Then don't be nice. You don't have to make anyone happy. You are the leader and, as such, have the sort of power that would allow you to knock one of your allies the fuck out and physically throw her away from the battle if need be. Don't compromise. Don't try to make anyone happy. Just do whatever you think is best for everyone, because that's how leading works. And next time I don't follow orders, you should probably lock me up somewhere. Maybe a dark room with no way out. You've done it once before. *I shrug, already imagining all the horrors that could exist in an unoccupied, unattended, unlit room.*

*rb* Hello, IA? Vol? This is Stained Sonata. We've got Zombie and we're heading back. So don't surprised if you see a white van heading for the school.

*Glad for the distraction, I grab the radio and answer.* *rb Sona* Hey! Glad you finally got her. Take your time coming back.

*I get no answer but a glower from Aftermath and sigh.* I guess I am being pretty stupid right now. And not following orders. Again. *I hear voices from the living room and, oddly enough, want nothing more than to be able to get out of here, maybe curl up alone somewhere and bash my head against a wall until I bleed.* Other than unflinching obedience from now on, is there anything I could do to make it up to you?

Just help me up so I can go greet the newbies. And keep me from ripping Det's head off, if he's with them. That's an order. *I grab my crutches and prepare myself to stand. My legs really are weaker now.*

Yes, sir. Of course. *I help Aftermath to his feet quickly and release him. I don't want things to get awkward. And he's still angry with me.* I promise that I won't disobey you again.

Cut the servant, master crap. Please? I'm not in the mood for kink right now... *I smirk at Volume and head out the door, albeit slowly.*

*I head back into my room and set my pistol on the table. I take a seat and pull out tools and parts.* Time for an upgrade, methinks... *I begin working on it, taking out the barrel first*

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