((Welcome back! Anyway it's been awhile so let's get straight into this))
————————————

That night seemed normal besides the obvious tension in the room. It was just before everyone would go off to bed. And everyone needed it.

The only people who have yet to show were Adrik and Julius. The entire group had to wait for them to show up. Luckily not even three minutes later Adrik walked in. "Sorry everyone I had to finish my tasks before heading off" Adrik spoke glancing around a smile gracing his lips until he locked eyes with Eli. Eli having a burst of confidence glared back.

The glaring contest between the men continued until Estrella pulled Eli's attention back. "Daddy why are you glaring at him" She questioned a small confused look adorning her adorable features. "Don't worry about it, daddy wouldn't do anything" Eli smiled. He'd never get used to a child calling him dad. But he enjoyed it. He completely forgot about Adrik not even bothering to look at him. Jess locked eyes with Adrik immediately looking away.

She was bothered. And not in a good way. The planet was maybe 3 days away. She could easily hold herself back but she overheard Hoku was being threatened and now Adrik was watching Eli. 'I can't let them be hurt, not now not ever' she slammed her eyes shut trying to move the thoughts of the people she called family being hurt.

She knew a lot of these people had a lot going on. But he main focus target wise was Adrik. She could care less about the captain issue. "Where's Juli" Hoshi spoke out glancing around. Marcus sighed speaking up. "Medbay asleep, he's been in a mood so I told him to take a nap, he probably won't wake up till the morning" Marcus yawned after he spoke and glanced at the sleepy wolf like woman. Who was falling asleep sitting. He pat her head making her glance up and smile lazily. Loki hugged Remi making her hug back laying her head on Loki's head.

The captain sighed to himself and told everyone to head off for the night. And once everyone was gone.  Julius went to work.

Having been awake the whole time he got it all set up. Julius walked into admin a small sigh escaped his lips. "Sorry Hoshi, but I hate your friends" He let those words escape his mouth and heard a laugh behind him. "Well you got me here Julius, let's have this chat" Xander smirked behind the male.

Julius turned towards him and immediately pinned him. Making the males hearing aid fall out. Xander was always nervous of not hearing so when he heard nothing. He felt panic.

"Oh right you can't hear, what's the point of you can't hear me" Julius spoke quietly. Xander responded with a simple. "I can read lips" He glared harshly at the male on white.

Xander acted like he wasn't but he was ready. He knew he couldn't live forever, yet he already wrote Hoshi a letter, saying forgive him, that really Hoshi needs to move past that Obsession with Julius and learn to love. That Xander was sorry he could be at her wedding or see her have kids. Or be the one to beat up all the bad guys.

"At least tell Hoshi I'm not mad" Xander smiled ready to accept it. "What, sorry for what" Julius didn't notice how tight his grip was making him not realize how fast Xander was reaching the light. "I'm sorry for dragging her down, and that she can still be a great mother, and a great girlfriend or wife" Xander felt his tears as he smiled and coughed a little. Julius went to loosen his grip until Xander gripped his arm. "No please, I'm ready. Just end it. Maybe I won't end up like this in my next life" Xander smiled as Julius gripped the males neck as hard as he could.

Just as Xander went to breath his last breath he smiled a wide goofy one, showing off that tooth gap one last time. "I'll let her know, rest well Xander" Julius felt a tear. And layer down the now lifeless male. He moved him to look comfortable. So it seemed he didn't die in pain.

Julius stood walking to medbay, laying down and going back to bed. "Sorry dad, sorry Hoshi. But at least he isn't in pain"

(This is currently in the male rooms)

Eli laid on his back half asleep, he was with Jess and Estrella for a while and wanted to sleep. Everyone was asleep but him. It was weird being awake alone. But he just laid there eyes closed. Almost asleep. When he felt a sharp pain in his neck. "What the" He was cut off seeing Adrik at the end of his bed. Holding a syringe. "Adrik what is that" Eli stared hand on his neck where the pain was. "A little something I made back on earth. It was made for you so thought I'd surprise you, how do like the parasite blood" He glanced over whispering. Eli stared eyes wide as he realized.

He's not normal. And he can be killed by anyone for what happened. "Eli your basically infected, we should vote you out" He smirked at the frantic male. He was scared and Adrik liked his look. It reminded him of a small bunny around a wolf. Eli jumped up running out and heading straight to somewhere quiet. He needed to be alone and as far away from Jess and Estrella as possible. Jess would get pissed. And maybe kill him. But he'd hurt Estrella so to protect her he'd run as far as he could. Even if that meant vents.

Eli might not be him anymore, and now Xander was finally at rest and free. But now things are gonna weird. But then again how weirder can it get.
