John nodded and hoped that when such a day would come, he'd be ready, too – and that Amelia would be ready to hear that the emotional turmoil he went through after coming back still haunted him sometimes.

With the sister in the same room and apparently talking, Ci smiled. Recovering from the awful ordeal would take time but maybe this was a start. "Looks like our plan worked." There was no response and she frowned upon finding her companion staring at some invisible spot dazedly. "Alex?"

Alex blinked rapidly before creating a charming smile. "I'm sorry, Ci. My mind wandered somewhere far away."

Ci was about to ask further but just then they smelled something burning. To their horror they realized that Amelia and John were trying to create a surprise dessert. The ensuing chaos made her forget about the strange incident.

Amelia and Alex were both quite skilled at avoiding topics they didn't want to talk about. But eventually there's a point at which one simply can't escape the troubli

    Amelia watched Jenny help Alex to their bed, saw her husband's fight to stay awake end and the man fall asleep as soon as he was down. And something inside her snapped.The alley... Cammy... The blaze that killed her... Her hands touching her, the phantom sensation still making her skin crawl... They all came back to life vividly."... lia..." Jenny's sharp voice and alarmed facial expression finally managed to get her attention. "Amelia, I need you to control your anger. Right now."Amelia hadn't noticed that she'd been preparing herself for a fight. Horrified and embarrassed, she scrambled to get it under control. "Sorry, I'm... I'm not..." She looked at Alex, who was sleeping deeply, then at Jenny, and couldn't keep her voice from coming out as an angry growl. "What did you do to him?"Jenny's calm aura and tone actually helped her, too. "I sedated him lightly, for his own safety. Hopefully his mind will be a little more settled when he wakes up."Sorrow and worry made Amelia's sto

    Even Alex was, perhaps grudgingly, forced to admit that Emily was good at her job. At the beginning of their first session, he attempted his usual deflective techniques with her. She allowed it for about half an hour before looking into his eyes with sincere sympathy. "You talk about Amelia a lot. I'm so sorry you had to experience losing her."That caught Alex so off guard his façade cracked for a long moment. "I got her back", he pointed out sharply, his glare daring the therapist to question his words. He shrugged, which did nothing to ease his tense muscles. "We... We always find our way back to each other. He says it's what we do."Emily nodded slowly. "I take it your relationship has been a dramatic one?" She must've heard some rumors, at least."When we got together there was basically. After that so many things happened..." Alex shook his head, so lost in the memories that he barely noticed he was talking out loud. "There's been so much chaos. The first time we broke up circum

    Actual stabs hurt less than that confession. (Amelia should know.) They sat in a silence for quite some time, drawing comfort from one another. "I know you don't like the thought of therapy, but I think you should give my therapist a chance. She's already helped me a lot. And... Alex didn't want to impose but she has a family who went through something close to our experience. Maybe talking to him would help, too."John seemed more skeptical. The man shook his head. "Amelia...""We can get through this, John. But not without help." Amelia sighed. "We should've already sought out help after so many things. Give it a chance now." She let that plea sink in. "We can do this. Together."John appeared conflicted but nodded eventually. Then pulled her to a hug. His sister had never held on to her so tightly.They both knew there was a lot more they needed to say and talk about but for now that was all they had the energy for./Alex didn't think much of her parenting abilities.

    After three full months the whole gang of four came to the conclusion that they couldn't live together indefinitely. As big as the loft was both couples needed their own space and privacy. John yarned to go back to normal, or to at least start exploring what that new 'normal' might be like.He still experienced the severed as an empty spot. But the time he spent physically close to Amelia worked.On his and Ci's last evening at the William's Alex gave him and Amelia matching bracelets. Such made of black metal. His work glowed around the items for a few seconds before dying away. "I'd lie saying that I understand what the is like, how it feels. And even with all my power I could never recreate it. But... With these you can sense if one of you is in danger or distressed. Perhaps it'll give you some comfort."The man were stunned. And very, very touched. "Alex...", John choked out, blinking rapidly. "Thank you. This means a lot to me."Amelia thanked him as well and sealed it with a kis

    As much as she would've wanted to, Amelia couldn't make any promises. She ended the call, then stood there struggling to breathe properly. Until she pushed her body to motion.Leanna, the building's new young head of security, gave hir a look of deep sympathy. (She'd always been one of the most vocal supporters of her idea to allow an access. She was currently in the process of adopting a little girl.) After she'd told her Alex most frequent routes home and where hir husband had scheduled appointments for that day, she'd been hard at work while she paced like a caged wild beast. Now she'd found something. "Are you sure you want to see this?"Amelia worked her jaw and did her best to steel himself. "Show me", she urged. "I want to know what happened to my husband."Leanna nodded before letting the events unfold on her screen. Amelia watched Alex rushing to an alley, where a little boy sat leaning against a wall. And then someone ambushed from behind. Leanna paused the footage just as t

    Amelia gasped and trembled, unable to keep a few tears from escaping. The agony faded away slowly, leaving behind a terrible numb hole. Alex... Was he still there at the other end of their connection? Amelia couldn't tell, couldn't focus enough to reach out, couldn't..."Amelia!" How long had Anna and the others been calling out her name? She'd placed a hand on her shoulder and slowly she became aware of the fact that she was on her knees on the ground. (She still couldn't stop trembling.) "What the hell is going on?"As her brother seemed to understand. Horror dawned in the his eyes. "Amelia... Is he...?" The man couldn't bring himself to finish.Amelia gulped laboriously and tasted bile. It was a surprise she hadn't thrown up yet. "I... I don't know. I don't know." She didn't know and it gnawed at her like no one could. Always a soldier, Amelia pushed herself up. "We have to keep going. We have to hurry." She refused to give up, refused to accept the possibility that...Anna squeeze

    Sitting there with Alex in her arms Amelia lost all sense of time and place. She held the unnaturally still Alex close with all her might, held on for them both. Alex was warm and despite all the blood Amelia caught a whiff of her husband's comfortingly familiar scent. It gave her hope that perhaps her world wasn't ending. She combed her fingers through silky soft hair and imagined it was just a lazy morning together, safe and sound in their bed."Five more minutes, baby", Amelia whispered. Her voice broke. "Then we'll get up."Time lost all meaning. Amelia wasn't aware of the people around them until someone moved. She tightened her protective hold on Alex, prepared to take on any threat, to find Jenny. Despite her obvious worries the expression on her face was a soft one. "Anna sent me a message. Apparently, you pulled off quite the miracle today." (Amelia wanted to lash out. If she would've actually managed a miracle Alex would've been awake and well already.) "Can I give him a loo

If I don't, I don't think I could ever live with myself.I just can't live without him! We ran closer and closer to this weird energy which could be seen probably everywhere in the city by now. There was this weird Feeling in my stomach again.I just knew that this was Alex doing and we had to stop him from going any further. Why did he run away instead of letting us help? Letting me help him! Like we always did?Now that he can remember us he surely remembers that. He can always lean on me and trust me with everything, and he knows that.Is his heart still filled with darkness and does he still want to go through with this obnoxious plan? Or is there a different reason behind all of this?All of those thoughts went away immediately when we reached the big field and I saw Alex."Stay back" I called over to the others."Are yo

    Amelia POV:Since we injected Alex with the Antidote he still didn't wake up. I'm starting to get a bit worried about now because he should have woken by now. Inside of me I really wonder if we made the right decision with this or if this was all a big mistake. Maybe we should have handled it differently.I can't help but think that this trap was wrong. I know Jenny tried and after that we didn't have any other choice but still. I know that this is the only way to help him but one part of me just can't agree with this and I don't know why.Despite everything I can't shake this feeling that I betrayed Alex and went behind his back.The only thing keeping me going in the moment is the thought that maybe soon I will have him in my arms again if we do this right. This Antidote just has to work. Nothing can go wrong now. I don't think I would survive it.After some time and I honestly don't know how much had past, I am still sitting beside Alex bed with my chair. With one hand I circle the

I can think about that when it is the right time.Slowly I stood up and made my way back to the others who stood in the big hall looking at some Pictures."Hey Amelia. It's good that you are ok again. Now we can finally start with our plan" said Anna when I reached them."So, what did I missed?" I asked them after giving everyone a hug.The others gave each other a look and I sighted "Come on g

But that time together was rather short because after some time her phone began to ring.Slightly nervous she got out of our embrace on that bench and took her phone out to look at the display. With a really annoyed voice she answered the call."What do you want Anna? I told you not to call me at this time of day. oh, and can you tellJohn to stop calling me. I already silenced him" she spoke. Annoyance pretty clear.That made even me really curios' and I wanted to know why Anna called. Anna answered something that I couldn't understand but her voice sounded really loud and bit worried. What was going on?Anna must have told him something important because all of a sudden, she went stiff and satup straight and began looking around the park once with her head. In her eyes I could clearly see worry now. What did she tell her?"Äh Anna, we have a little problem" she sai
