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.

2013-12-30 06:56 (UTC)Dana is sitting on her bed, reading a book with a look of extreme boredom on her face. Televisions haven't worked for ages, and she's exhausted the hospital library, but she has to do something to keep herself occupied.

2013-12-30 13:05 (UTC)Once it is safe to do so, she comes out of the shadows. "Dana... don't scream..."

2013-12-30 20:01 (UTC)Alex doesn't know that April is projecting an image of the room for the sniper, so he doesn't want to change back where they might see. "Dana, it's me. We're here to get you out of here."
"Alex, why? This is the safest place in the quarantine zone. And Blackwatch aren't the best hosts or anything, but they've got the most guns around."
"Because I'm going to the mainland," Alex tells her. "And once I do that, Blackwatch won't have a reason to keep you alive."

2013-12-30 20:20 (UTC)"If I stay here, I won't last much longer," he tells her honestly. "It's now or never. But you need to be safe first."

2013-12-30 20:29 (UTC)"I am not from your world. I can take you from here."
no subject
2013-12-30 20:37 (UTC)"It's a long story," Alex says uncomfortably. "But you'll be safe. Guaranteed. Blackwatch will never find you."

2013-12-30 20:59 (UTC)"What?" Alex asks, dreading the answer.
Dana pulls aside the bedsheet to reveal that her ankles are cuffed to the bedframe. "Wanna spring me free?"
Oh. He was expecting something more difficult. Alex's hands form into razor-sharp claws, and he slices the cuffs free.

2013-12-30 21:19 (UTC)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?"
no subject
2013-12-30 21:22 (UTC)He only looks a tiny bit surprised at Lorne's appearance, since the man obviously isn't human.

2013-12-30 21:33 (UTC)"Sure thing Darling... First thing will be to find her some nice clothes."
no subject
2013-12-30 21:35 (UTC)Alex isn't sure how to react to any of this. "Dana..."
She looks over at him. "Okay, get your real face back on, I am not having this conversation with one of those guys."
Alex's body ripples with red and black tendrils, changing his features back to the young man he usually is.
