When Romeo had called his mother she had sounded happy enough. Her day had gone well, the bakery had made alot of money, and she was just laying down and reading before going to bed for the night, like she always did. He assured her, several times, that everything was alright, but it was like she somehow knew something bad had happened. He dismissed this as best he could, told her goodnight and that he would swing by there in the morning, and after that he hung up.

With that taken care of he moved from his bed to his closet and took out another pair of jeans, these black, and a black t-shirt to go with it, then tossed these on the bed. As he did this Romeo laughed, remembering that his overshirt was left behind at the site of the battle. he shook his head a little after that and headed for the shower. It felt good to get all the blood and sweat off his skin, and to feel the warmth wash over his wounds.

Once done and dressed again he went down and checked on the girl on the couch, she was still out. He then secured the door once more and began checking the floors one by one until he found where Alex was. He simply looked in on her before going back to his room and falling asleep, almost as if he were dead, dressed all in black.

SafeHouse

After locking Westlyn in the room from the outside Hunter had followed the guards back down the hallway. On either side other mutants had woken up and were banging on the doors, yelling at him. He was one of the most hated members of MTD, mainly because he had put them all in there. Normally he would threaten to send Cole in to take care of them, but he wasn't in the mood to even think that wasy, not tonight, for it was certainly night now.

I think I'll check in on him. See how he's doing, if he need a drink or something... Hunter shook his head again, not wanting to think about it. Cole was one of the toughest agents he knew, and it hurt him when he saw his friend crying and remembering such painful memories. "What the hell?" He asked aloud, arriving at his assigned room in the medical wing of the SafeHouse to find the door open and the bed empty.

An orderly passing by stoped and spoke with him, sending him off in the direction Cole had gone, towards the workers bar.
