The C.D.C. is gone and along with it, a piece of the hope that they all clung to. Now, all they have left is each other. The group must stick together even as new challenges threaten to tear them apart. But sometimes surviving isn't worth it when th...

"I'm surprised you haven't asked for this stuff back yet." Jess says as she sits down next to MJ with her two necklaces and two rings. "It's been a couple days since you were hurt. You're never not wearing them."
"I guess I just haven't really been in the mood for jewelry." She says as she slides the rings onto their respective fingers.
"I'd hardly call your dad's dog tags jewelry."
"Yeah, well..." MJ sighs. "Can you help me with the clasp on this? My shoulder's still bugging me a little."
"Yeah." Jess stands up and walks behind MJ to put the gold necklace on her — the one with her initials.
As Jess sits back down, MJ looks at the two dog tags in her hand. They're on the same silver chain that they've been on for years, probably the same chain that he wore them on when he was in the military.
"When did he serve?" Jess asks. "Sam never really talked about your dad."
"Probably because he wasn't much of a dad." MJ mutters. "He served in the early '70's, maybe ten years before I was born. He was a Marine during the Vietnam War."
"Yeah?" Shane looks at her. "I had some family that served around then. What company was he in?"
"Echo 2/1." She tells him. "Corporal John Winchester."
He nods as he turns back to his food. He knows the name sounds familiar, he just doesn't know from where.
MJ sighs as she puts the chain over her head and then pulls her hair out of it afterward. She woke up with them around her neck after she and Dean got out of hell, hasn't taken them off since. And John never asked.
"Here, let me help you." Jack says as MJ starts to get up, and she then reaches for his hands. He pulls her to her feet, and she smiles up at him. "How are you feeling?"
"Better, kiddo." She tells him, and he nods, happy to hear it. She's still not a hundred percent, but she could've stood up on her own. She only let him help because he's been worried about her — something that they can all see.
Sophia and Ellie are sitting together by the fire, and MJ smiles as she looks at them. She looks to the side and sees Carol, the older woman smiles at her.
"Thank you." She mouths, and MJ nods. She didn't get to thank her before because when she went in to do just that, it was when MJ lost it and started crying on her shoulder.
Glenn stands up from his chair then and walks over toward the big gray tent that's right there near where they're eating breakfast. He then turns to face everyone, who's sitting around talking while they eat.
