A few days later IMP are meeting with Verosika's crew in her office. The only one that isn't was Alex.
Verosika:So...are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room?
Blitzo looks around.
Darien:It's an expression dad
Moxxie:What exactly are you all talking about?
Kiki:You know what. How Alex has barely said anything these past few days?
Kat:How he has dark circles under his eyes like he hasn't been sleeping?
Coco:And don't act like we haven't noticed that part of his ear is missing
I.M.P:Uhhhh...
Flashback to two days ago. I.M.P is in a meeting while Alex was shown downing coffee straight from the pot. Flashback to yesterday. The group had been hired to assassinate a corrupt general who was about to sell military grade weapons to the highest bidder. Alex was shown in the catwalk in a warehouse sound asleep with his head resting on the railing while hie finger was lazily wrapped around the trigger of a sniper rifle.
Blitzo: *over earpiece* Alex. Alex come in
Alex:Zzzzzzz...
Blitzo:Alex!
Alex got startled awake with a yelp and fall on his back while pulling the trigger. The bullet strikes the general right through the heart causing him henchmen and potential buyers to turn their weapons on each other out of paranoia. Cuts back to the present.
Verosika:Well...that's concerning
Blitzo: *standing up* Oh sure. It's concerning that he's really not in the mood for you to try to fuck him
Verosika:How dare you?!
She slaps Blitzo with enough force to send him reeling back on the couch.
Verosika:Did it ever occur to you that I can care about someone without wanting to fuck them? You know this is one of the reasons why I broke up with you!
Awkward silence.
Vortex:So...does anyone have an idea where Alex is?
Darien:I saw him in the workout room...where he seems to be spending all of his time these days
Cuts to the workout room where he is shown sprinting on a treadmill sweating profusely having flashbacks to his fight with Striker. How he held Dusk and Dylan at gunpoint, how he shot William in the leg, how he admitted to killing his father and his smug grin as he rode off on his horse.
Alex (mind):That fucker...I swear to all that is unholy I'll kill him. If it's the last thing I do
He continued to run faster feeling the burning sensation in his legs until it became almost unbearable. He shut off treadmill and walked over to a punching bag in the middle of the room trying out a variety of fast paced moves and dodges not caring that his knuckles had already became split and bloody due to the routine going on for several hours with no breaks. He attempted to do a backflip dodge maneuver but end up slipping in a pudding of sweat causing him to flip in the air and fall flat on his face. Unknown to him this was being observed by everyone else looking through window. Some end up turning away after seeing him face plant.
Blitzo:This is just sad
Moxxie:It's disturbing, is what it is
Before anyone can stop him Vortex opens the door to the workout room to confront Alex.
Vortex:Alex you have to stop this you're going to kill yourself
Alex:No! I have to be ready for that slippery son of a bitch! It I ever see Striker again I'm going to tear him limp from limp!
