The group heads out
__________//_________
"Well, there must be something back there that can help Kendra" Rip said, he looked around the room, his eyes landing over Greta since she had been the one to go with Kendra to explore the complex.
"There were other rocks there" she shrugged "Maybe one of those, I don't know"
"It's worth the try" said Sara "The last thing we need is Kendra waking up even worse"
"Not to mention that that thing on her arms is still spreading, so that is obviously not good" Martin jumped in.
"Sounds like a plan" nodded Greta.
"You are not going" said Rip, he turned his attention from Martin to the newbie, his eyes narrowed "And neither will Mr. Jackson, I think the two of you have had enough action and reckless behavior for a day"
"What?" gasped Jax "We were not reckless" he looked and sounded fully offended.
"Are you sure about that?" asked Ray, his arms crossed over his chest; Greta and Jax shot murderous glares at him before turning back to Rip.
"We had done that before, it's not like we didn't know what we were doing, we weren't just jumping in there mindlessly" Greta hissed, and suddenly both Greta and Jax looked like temper tantrum throwing children.
"Last Remains does not count as knowing what to do" barked Martin, an exasperated look over his face as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Jax. "You put us in grave danger"
"Oh come on!" Jax groaned "Like the rest of you haven't done reckless things, you drugged me to bring me here, Grey"
"True" chuckled Mick.
"What is this Last Remains you keep talking about?" asked Rip, annoyance heavy in his voice.
"It's a video game" Martin answered as he turned to look at Rip, his eyebrow up to make emphasis on the fact that Greta and Jax had based their strategy on a video game they usually played at Jax's room.
Rip's eyes widened for a moment before he turned to look at Jax and Greta, who were now standing next to each other "And that right there is the main reason you two are done for today" he barked, pointing at the pair; Greta groaned and Rip glared at her, she raised an eyebrow at him but huffed in defeat before crossing her arms over her chest. "Dr. Stein will stay with you"
Jax rolled his eyes, sometimes he felt like his ideas and the things he did were simply just not welcome, almost like everything he did was to be dismissed because he was the youngest member of the group; and to be honest he was really getting tired of all that.
Next to him, Greta slumped against him with an annoyed expression over her face, he knew she felt just like he did, Rip and Martin were always especially keen to shut down her ideas and he knew how annoying that could get after the second and third and fourth time. He glanced at his friend, the young woman turned to look at him and he noticed the disappointing look in her eyes, he gave her a small shrug and she responded with a small smile that even if it was a bit hurt, still reached her eyes.
