Getting out of Dodge

Alex is nervous. He's been avoiding this day for a while, but he can't put it off any longer. His food supply is running short, and there's only one thing to do before it goes dry completely... he has to leave Manhattan.

He stands on the edge of the rooftop in the Red Zone, looking over the city that's grown far more quiet than the last time April was here, nearly a year ago. The sounds of gunfire and animal-like screams continue in the distance, but there are few normal city sounds left.

"He has to leave the Island. But didn't want to leave you behind."
slayers_desire: (concerned)

"I am going to help him leave." April hopes that reassures her worry. "But first, we wanted you to be in a place where they could never find you."

"I am not from your world. I can take you from here."

"You would still have access to medical care. More than likely, much better care. And you could have your own place. Your own fresh start."
slayers_desire: (thoughtful pause)

"Will you trust us?" She figures that Dana will trust Alex, but trusting April might be a different situation.

That seemed easier than she had originally thought. "I can take you both into the Nexus right now. Once we leave, my psychic image of the room will disappear from the sniper's mind, and they will be alerted you are gone."

"I know. We will leave Dana in a safe place. And come back here to help you escape." April uses her PINpoint to open a portal.

She glances at Dana. "It is not an alien ship. Trust me."
slayers_desire: (darkness all around me)

She guides them through the portal. They don't arrive in the Nexus, since she didn't want to leave Dana there unprotected and unaware of her surroundings.

Instead she had brought them to Lorne's bar in Los Angeles. The one place she knows she can trust someone to watch over Dana until they return.

Lorne himself turns when the portal activates. He frowns at the three people exiting, only recognizing one of them. "What mess is this now?"
slayers_desire: (braving new style)

[personal profile] slayers_desire 2013-12-30 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lorne. This is Alex and his sister Dana. We need to leave Dana here. Please place her under the same protection as anyone else who would come to you during a time of need..."

"Sure thing Darling... First thing will be to find her some nice clothes."
slayers_desire: (rundown feeling)

[personal profile] slayers_desire 2013-12-30 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lorne is a protector. This place is a safe haven. I would trust my own son or daughter with him. And he has fought some pretty tough nasties in his own right..."

"Oh stop luv, you are making me blush..."
slayers_desire: (heartbreaker)

[personal profile] slayers_desire 2013-12-30 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Lorne just looks relaxed and at ease when Alex assesses him. "We will make sure that she is protected."

"We have several apartments here too, where we can get you situated. Each comes with all the features to keep you as safe as you need to feel." Lorne explains to Dana.
slayers_desire: (stubborn)

[personal profile] slayers_desire 2013-12-30 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can show you to a suite right now." Lorne offers her, extending a hand.

April looks down at her PINpoint, trying not to react to Alex's lack of trust. "We better get back."
slayers_desire: (not all butterflies and flowers)

"Definitely not. They would already be in full alert there." April brings them back to the door which they had initially started this adventure.
