                    A fair amount of adrenaline was still pumping through your veins, and without thinking you swung a punch at Red Son when she stepped toward you. They looked different, his hair was down, you took note and tried to use it as an advantage. She stepped back and you went behind in an attempt to pull the hair and distract him, only to be punched harshly by the bull clone. You skidded across the hallway and shakily sat up, wincing as the force of the punch settled in. they walked up to you girly and exclaimed, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR PEASANT?!" you stood up, resuming your fighting stance, looking insane all the while. Red mumbled curses to herself before exclaiming, "I'M NOT FIGHTING YOU IDIOT. YOU SHOULD BE THANKING BE." This took you by surprise.

               Usually Red would attack you and the crew on sight, what was happening? "What? Aren't you going to do something evil for your dad?" Red sighed and explained how she found you in the desert when they were cleaning up a wrecked delivery truck. MK's delivery truck. You stood, frozen, in shock that they were here and you did nothing! You let your fists fall and looked at Red warily and you said, "why?" Red looked surprised by the question and said in an annoyed tone, "well, you were glowing blue-ish and struggled to breath like you were being choked. I wanted to see if I could help, but then it stopped and you were just... sleeping, like nothing happened." you touched your neck and was reminded of the chokehold Sandy had you in that you desperately tried to forget.

            "Why are you up this late anyway?" they asked not caring for your reaction. You looked out the window to see the moon high in the sky. You just started at it, it was beautiful, sparkling and white. Red pretended to cough, breaking the silence. You turned around to face them, walking towards her slowly. You got close enough and whispered, "you're not so evil people say you are." you backed up and saw red's hair aflame as they explained their actions and how they were evil. You giggled at the action, you haven't laughed like this in months, you liked it. Maybe it wasn't so bad that you slept, you were going to go insane if you had no interaction with someone.

             You both just poked at each other, you two clicked like Legos and instantly felt at ease, you clung onto the comfortable feeling, every other place you loved was ruined by all that has happened so far. You didn't even feel cold, but warm. This isn't love, you knew that for a fact, but you've felt it with your brothers. It was the feeling you could be anything, do anything and feel without guilt. You were comfortable. Deprived, this was the only feeling you wanted, the bone lady can screw off, you didn't care what you had to do at the moment, you just craved for more of this. You needed it more, more, more. And felt sad when Red yawned. It was getting late. You couldn't bear being alone when someone was right there. You didn't know how but Red could tell what you were feeling.

            And in silence you set up a bed and fell asleep talking to Red, at peace, even in your dreams.
