The ride into Atlanta was tense.

Emotions of all kinds lingered in the air.

Tara gave me side eyed looks that I ignored. Carl and Glenn were the main ones to catch onto it. 

Abraham pulled the firetruck outside the gates, looking around to the rest of us.

"Y'all keep your guards up," he says, "Just in case."

All of us get out, keeping guns high as we walk to the entrance.

A few walkers lingered, but they were quickly put down until the lot was empty. As if on cue, the doors open and Rick is the first one walking out- a look of surprise on his face as he sees us.

Next, Sasha and Julie walk out, James following close behind. Tyreese held Carol close as she leans on him for support.

"Maggie!" Beth cries happily.

"Bethy!" Maggie sobs, dropping her gun and rushing to her.

Beth smiles, breaking from her spot beside Daryl and straight into Maggie's arms. The two sisters cry happily in each others arms and I find myself smiling.

Even more so when I see Taeyang and an unfamiliar boy walking out side by side.

Glenn grabs my gun, a smile on his face before he nudges my arm, "Go."

My footsteps quicken in pace and Taeyang hands the other guy his gun, breaking into a run of his own. Meeting halfway, I wrap my arms around his neck as he spins us around once his face in my hair and mine in his neck.

"How the hell.." he breathes out with a laugh.

"You drew suns on a map," I blame, a laugh of my own escaping.

"You found it," he smiles.

I pull back to look at him, pursing my lips and nodding, "I found it."

"You found us," he rephrases.

"I found you," I nod again.

He smiles brighter, pulling me back into the hug.

A hand on my shoulder pulls us away and I look up to Rick.

"Hi," I greet.

"You.. God, Hana," he breathes, tugging me into a hug of our own.

Reunions are traded all around before Abraham is the one to ask-

"So, what's the plan? By the looks of that holy box of horror back there, it ain't staying there any longer," he says in regards to the church.

"Yeah.. I guess we'll have to figure it out on the road. Like we always do," Rick nods.

"I have a plan," Beth says, holding her hand up that had a cast wrapped around.

"You?" Rick asks, a grin threatening to take over, "Well, let's hear it."

"Well.." she steps back, "It's not my plan."

Rick waves his hand for her to continue, a smile of support finally taking over.

"Noah and I were planning on escaping here and going back to his hometown. His family," she explains, looking to the new guy.

"You have a place?" Rick asks. 

"It's outside of Richmond. It has walls.. My mom and brothers are there.. Beth and I were planning on it," he nods.

"Richmond," Rick repeats.

He looks around to those of us standing around and nods.

"Richmond it is."
