Alex was finally feeling a bit better, after four days of rest. Everything was a lot clearer, his head had stopped spinning and the headaches diminished. The aches in his joints went away. He felt like he was going to be in tip top condition in a few more days.
Elle was beside him, when he woke up, her head tucked down on her chest. He knew that she had came back from a night mission not too long ago. He did not want to wake her and Kurt up just yet, but she looked so uncomfortable sleeping that way.
Gently, he placed his arm around her shoulders, moving her sleeping figure onto his body. Her head naturally fell upon his shoulder, they fit together naturally. That was what he liked about the two of them.
He let her use his body as a pillow, her light snores was the only thing he heard. Kurt was asleep in the other side of the tunnel, tossing and turning restlessly. Sam was out again at the gambling den, and Chrissy was out killing some more soldiers.
It infuriated Alex, that the White House was quite a distance from their city. They would not be able to leave to kill Odin and George. Chrissy was trying to contact the killers in that town, to see if they needed backup.
Alex took the broadcast radio, and turned the microphone on.
" It's early in the morning, and this is one half of Nightmare Pair. Last night, about twenty to thirty soldiers were killed, with no injuries obtained from our Assasins, " he quickly updated them, before turning it off.
When they broadcasted, they had to be careful not to reveal too much information, especially about their location or their next mission. They could brag about how many they killed, just to let the citizens know the effort they were putting in to it.
Elle suddenly sat up, brushing her hair out of her eyes as she did so. Pinecone, which had been resting on her lap, jumped off with a low growl. Alex removed his arm from around her shoulders as she started to get up.
" Elle?"
" Alex, god, I just had the worst dream ever," she mumbled, sitting back down and placing her head on his chest.
He smiled slightly. It was weird to see how she was so brave on the outside, but was easily freaked by nightmares. Probably because nightmares happened out of her control.
" What was it about? You mind sharing? " Alex questioned, rubbing her arm in assurance, to show that she was safe.
Elle looked down.
" I dreamt that you were killed, by Odin. And it happened right in front of my eyes, there was nothing I could do about it," Elle told him.
There was a slight quiver in her voice as she spoke. And her body shook a little, probably from fear. She constantly had nightmares, all through the years. Each one more terrifying than the next, each plagiarising her mind.
Alex was quite used to her nightmares by now, which was one of the prime reasons why they slept together. Somehow, if Elle slept alone, a nightmare would hit her.
" I'm not dying anymore. And Chrissy agreed that I probably would be able to go on a mission tomorrow evening, " Alex reminded her, touching her soft hair lightly.
Elle sighed, then picked up Pinecone in her arms, cuddling it. Then proceeded to fall asleep again on Alex.
