I was sitting on a chair next to Sean, who was unconscious on the bed. My head laid tiredly against my arms, at the end of the bed at Sean's legs.

Peeking out, I turned my head to glance at his face. It was bruised badly and his face was full of exhaustion, and I could feel a tug at my heart. The poor guy has been through a lot, and I can't imagine what was going through his mind at moment. He almost seemed to be fighting through his sleep, uncomfortable with past memories filling his head. Feeling guilty for letting it go on, I shook him awake.

"Sean....Sean, wake up," I spoke softly at him.

His eyes fluttered open, and he gazed his surroundings, unfamiliar to where we were at. I rest my hand over his, and half-smiled.

"It's okay, at new motel," I stated." Broke in and took rest here."

"And Dark?" he asked almost nervously.

"Far from us, but don't know any else," I told him." Buried in substance, but don't know if will hold him down for long."

"Oh," he replied." Well, at least we're partially safe."

"Y-yeah," I said, not too enthusiastic.

Truthfully I missed Mark, and I couldn't get this sort of emptiness without his presence being here. It scared me to think about what Dark could possibly be doing right now in Mark's body, and him watching this monster use him.

I shook my head to not think too deep, and return my attention more over to Sean, who was my most concerned right now.

"How feel?" I questioned." Need anything?"

"Uh, water would be nice," he replied.

I nodded, getting up from my seat and walked over to the fridge. A sign was on it, reading: Must pay for items inside if taken.

Yeah I'm not paying for this shit....

I grab a handful of the items, an assortment of water and snacks, and close the fridge. Setting them on the bed, I sit next to Sean and the both of us dig in, terribly dehydrated and starving.

"So...how've things been?" Sean asks, while tearing into a cup of jello.

I roll my eyes," Could be better..."

"Yeah," Sean sighed." I think my answer is pretty much de' same."

We continued eating in silence, devouring pretty much everything that was on the bed. I particularly got frustrated over having a hard time opening a can of fruit, and grunted. I roll my eyes back, and use the black substance to sever the top of the can off and throw it across the room.

Sean chuckled heavily," I see you still have a temper."

"I see still got baby face," I chuckled back." Just hairier."

"What? Don't like de' facial hair? It took a while te' grow, ya know," Sean remarked.

"It suits you," I smiled.

He smiled back, and we couldn't help but embrace. It been so long since we have seen each other, we must of thought the worse about one another. It was heartwarming to know we're together again, it almost felt like how it was when we were kids.

Pulling back, I gasped slightly when I felt Sean accidentally touch my wound, still currently sensitive. The reaction was immediate, and I felt a tinge of regret, as I see Sean's eyes grow wide in sadness.

He sighed, and looked away, almost feeling guilty to look towards my way. I understood the gesture, probably still remembering the words Dark told him.

"Don't feel bad, not your fault," I said to him." I'm okay-"

"But what if ya didn't end up okay, what if I k-killed you...." he exclaimed." I would of never forgave myself...."

"But you didn't, fought back, and that what matters," I retorted." You were not in control, that 'thing' was. Didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"I know...but I-I just can't forget..." Sean said, choking up." The look on their faces, the pleads and cries...I will NEVER forget the pain I've caused towards dem' innocent people. I could've done more te' stop it, and yet...I-I was too weak!"

"Sean...you tried best. Saved that family, didn't you?" I said, reminding him of the good deed." Give yourself credit, sometimes."

He shrugged," But still, I could've done more than that, it's my-"

"Stop trying to handle all this weight on your own! You act you alone, but not. I'm here, and together again. Not leaving side again, promise. Let's help each other like old times...please," I told him harshly.

He finally looks back to me, a red face presented,"....thank you."

"Of course," I smiled, but it fades quickly." I know might not want to remember, but need to know what they did to you?"

Sean turns his head again, upset.

I sigh," I understand, but...need as much information to stop Dark, we need to help others."

Sean shifts in response, listening but not too happy about it. I know he was struggling right now, and I had no right to push him, but I need to save Mark and the other countless innocent people who could be harmed by this virus. The more time we waste, the more our chance of winning gets lower.

"Sean...please," I said, pleading." I-I need to do something good with life, I don't wanna keep running away. Mark needs me, people need me...I can help others with my ability. We're not monsters...."

"Then w-why do I feel like one?" Sean said, his voice cracking.

"Because you believed what people told you," I stated." We let people define us growing up, but it doesn't mean true. We are what we say we are, not others. Mark told me that...."

"This Mark, you really care for him...don't you?" Sean said, grinning.

I smiled tearily," Yes...I do. I love him, Sean. I need to save him from this thing, I-I can't lose him."

"Alright," he sighed deeply." I'll show ya what I know. Just please be patient with me.."

I give a reassuring smile," Take your time, and don't push yourself.

Sean takes my hands, and his eyes shift color to when he uses his ability, his hesitant to look me in the eyes but when he does, we are there...
