Twirl was carried up by Kyouhei, half-conscious. Wanting to get into a bed, she breathed quickly, somewhat impatiently as she held onto his neck.
He would soon, with alittle help from Saya and her vines, open the door and set her down. "You shold take a shower first. You have to get that dirt off of you."
Shaking her head, Twirl disagreed. The dirt on her was the last thing on her mind- she'd been dirty all her life, it was nothing new to her. Anyway, wouldn't showering hurt the bandage or something? She whimpered. "Wanna sleep..."
Twirl slowly let herself down from Kyouhei's arms into the bed, slowly laying down and resting her head on the pillow. The soft material soothed her and she let out a huge breath.
Kyouhei slowly covered her up, and tucked her in. When done with that he would lean in and kiss her forehead gently. "There. How does that feel?"
"Mm..." she closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep in the bed. It was a giant relief to be free of the pain for a while.
He smiled for a bit and then, when he turned away, a scowl would appar on his face. "Time to find some answers, Linix...come with me. Saya and Lolo, Stay with Twirl." With that he left, with Linix in tow behind him.
The presence would slink about the upper floors of Gambit's in the thick of the night, a quiet ambiance around, the lights that were on would flicker and bulbs would smash, darkening the ever hollow passage. Cruel malign influences would tread around, the shadows blacker than ebony, seemingly devoid of any light. Wretched sighs and groans be heard as the first door was approached, with a force unexplainable the first door would swing open.
As the room grew ever worse, all bright and shallow points would dim into nothing and then it would move over the floor, no sounds as soundless treads would approach the sleeping form of a couple; the man was fairly well built with an arm draped over the girl, whom seemed romantically attached, rather than mutually sharing pleasure.
Thus it would appear, a girl with red eyes and blonde hair wearing a cardigan, she would stroke the brow of the female, and then begin, whispering, "Darkness... alone... he's gone... he's gone... you are alone... you are alone... he left you... they will all leave you, they will all leave you." horror filled the girl's face as Hitomi fingers left her brow, and moved to the boy, she would delve deep into his mind and suggest, "You are weak, you are puny... you will lose her... she does not want you except for your strength... look at you now... so weak, so pathetic, you ought to go kill yourself."
With that she would exit the room, smirking, as she vanished once more into the shadows, her power growing as they lived into horrific nightmares.

The sound of rustling could be heard from a room that had been unoccupied for months...it hadn't been rented out though. A light was coming from underneath the crack in the door as things were being strewn and thrown around in the room. Someone was searching for something...a thief in a room that held objects that had been long untouched perhaps. It was highly unlikely to be the owner. After all they had vanished without a trace long ago. Most likely dead.
It was just then that a certain androgynous punk had been walking up the stairs. They had been passing by the room when a brilliant light shone from beneath it.
Farai raised a brow, then leaned against the door to peer through the keyhole.
"What in the world...?"

"What in the world...?"
All that could be seen was a tall ragged looking figure tossing the former occupants things around as if it was nothing. The bed had been turned over and the place was throughly ransacked. An odd thing though was that the person only seemed to have one arm...
"Where is it?" The figured muttered as they stuffed some cash into their pocket. Yup...a thief.

Farai's hand came to the door knob, and pushed it open fearlessly.
This was Alix's apartment before. Who the hell was ransacking it?
"Hey!" cried Farai. "Freeze!"

"Hey!" cried Farai. "Freeze!"
The figure froze in place and sighed. "Shit..." Well this wasn't good now was it.
They raised up their arm slowly. "I am unarmed, ya can search me if ya want too..." They had a small southern drawl to them. One that had been beaten down with travel but had lived on.
"I am gonna give ya a warnin though. If ya hurt me I AM gonna hurt ya back." How a one armed person would do that...well that had yet to be seen.

Farai's hand formed into a fist, raising into the air as they approached the figure.
"...who the hell are you? I...wait." Farai dropped their arm, peering closely. "N-no...really? Is that you? A-Alix?"
Farai, themself, had changed. Their hair had grown out, and they were wearing slightly different clothes to their style. More casual clothing. No trench coat or chains. Just a baggy shirt and jeans. The look in their eyes had changed, too, but...it was still Farai. And that figure before them was undoubtedly who they thought it was.
"Holy hell."

Alix slowly turned around, their bright green eyes widening in shock.
"Holy..." Alix took in the figure before them, their eyes glistening but they quickly wiped it away with their arm.
The former cook of Gambit's looks had certainly changed.
In honesty they looked like hell. They had a burn mark on their neck and part of their earlobe was missing. Their face was bruised and bloody, the nose was probably broken.
Their hoodie...well if was more possibly for that ratty ass thing to become even more ratty it was. The cook was wearing a new coat over it though. A long trench coat that had a few buttons buttoned up.
The biggest change though was the fact that the cook apparently had lost their arm. "Farai...it...tell me that if this is a dream that I ain't gonna wake up anytime soon..."

The punk's jaw dropped as they looked upon Alix, hands shaking at their sides. They could hardly believe it. The state they were in. It was terrible, but...
"Oh, my God, you're alive."
The punk rushed forth, arms opening to envelop the cook in a warm, but gentle embrace. There was a hoarse cry, then a sob. "Where did you go, man? What the hell happened..."

Alix wrapped their arm around the punk and held them close, no longer able to hold back the tears. But they didn't care if Farai saw them crying. It was Farai after all.
"It ain't a dream...oh praise be it ain't no dream." The cook sobbed out, embracing Farai tightly.
"I...I went back through the portal with One." Alix said softly, shaking a bit. "But I guess that don't explain why I was gone for so long now does it..."
"It ain't a dream...oh praise be it ain't no dream." The cook sobbed out, embracing Farai tightly.
"I...I went back through the portal with One." Alix said softly, shaking a bit. "But I guess that don't explain why I was gone for so long now does it..."
"I didn't know. Why didn't you even tell me? Why didn't you tell me anything? How the hell did this happen!?" cried Farai, hands on Alix's shoulders as they pulled them back, staring at the cook in the eye. "So much shit...happened...while you were gone...and I thought you might have died, y'know."
The punk was trying so hard to stop the tears from flowing, but they were there. Pouring down their cheeks, off their chin.

Alix sighed and ran their fingers through their black messy hair. "I am sorry bud...I am so sorry for that but he...number one was the most powerful and...I didn't want to risk ya'll to him...I couldn't. Hell that battle there was already enough death and I didn't want to add ya to the body count. Any of ya..." Alix said softly before looking down at Farai.
"And I should of come back sooner but I can honestly say that I couldn't. When One and I went back through the portal...we didn't end back up in the cave where I thought we would've...I almost...well died back on my planet...thought I was goin too..." Their voice grew soft before Alix sighed.
"But he did. I didn't want to but I had too. I then wandered around for so long...I even went back home...they weren't to keen on seein me again..." Alix looked down at their right side, the one that didn't seem to have an arm.
"But eventually I made it back to the cave...but that presented another problem. I needed to destroy it...after a lot of thinkin and a lot of luck I managed to collapse the damn entrance... and then the whole fuckin cave just as I went into the portal. I did the same to the other one that I exited out of...but I suppose....I am sorry Farai...I should've...told ya somethin...Can ya ever forgive me for all the shit I put ya through?"

The punk drew Alix close again, to their chest, keeping them there. They closed their eyes, releasing more tears, but never minding them. Just to have Alix back...
"Jesus Christ, Alix, how the hell can I be mad at you for long? Look at you...we...we have to get you out of those terrible clothes...and clean you up...and you need someone to get you medical help...oh my God you really should have come to me first, Alix, I swear..."

Alix let out a soft laugh before softly kissing the top of Farai's head. "I missed ya bud...what would I was lost without a friend like ya by my side on my world..." Alix held the punk as close as they could with their left arm, letting the tears flow down their face.
"God I missed ya..." Alix said softly before looking down at their clothes. "I suppose ya are right...I need to mend my hoodie up and...can ya help me out of this coat? It is hard as hell to unbutton somethin with only one hand ya know? As for medical help...well I won't oppose to it but it ain't to bad...I don't think it is at least...how bad does it look? And I woulda went to ya first but...well...I didn't know where ya were or...or if ya would even want to see me again...which was stupid but still was a thought."

"Mend it? Alix, my closet is so full it's a freakin' jungle, and we're the same size," said Farai, looking at the cook's wear. "Here." They helped Alix with their shirt after wiping their eyes with he back of their hand.
"Here...come on down to my place. I have a house now. You didn't know, did you? And...I kinda got a family now. Sorta. Ragtag bunch of teenagers living there. Just...come on by there...and we'll help you get patched up, okay?"

The cook winced a bit as the coat was removed, underneath was...surprise their other arm. It was hanging limply at their side, broken in multiple places and and if Alix's hoodie was black it would have certainly been stained with blood.
"Ya got a house? Man I have missed a lot..." Alix said softly before sighing. "But that is better then missin everythin...oh! Speakin of ya gettin a family...I remember ya sayin ya liked someone once. Ya ever tell that person?" The cook asked with a ragged smile. "Whoever it is is a lucky person...but they better be good enough for ya."

"Whoever it is is a lucky person...but they better be good enough for ya."
"...no. I ended up having to move on." said Farai, a wry smile on their face. "I was pretty bummed about it at first, but I met someone. And I'm...I've got a girlfriend, now. We've been through a lot of shit together, too, but...we've been making it." They reached down for Alix's arm, to help them over.
"C'mon, Alix. I think you'll like Gabs a lot. She'll help. I...you...we just need to get you back into shape. That arm is looking terrible. I don't know what you did to even get so beat up."
