[Sadrain]

December 5th, Chicago. Sewer #17.

Elek shook his head slightly, as if in disbelief about something, and left. His mind was still full with the scenes from Amante's memories and he was sure he recognized the monster that had attacked his friend. But that conversation would have to wait. It seemed that Leila had hurt Evan enough for her to not attack someone for at least a day, and by then, everything should be discussed with Eve. Elek was not looking forward to that conversation.

Most nurses left the doorway, some having duties to attend to, others just jumping on the chance to get away. Most of Rebellion consisted of regular people, many of them still felt vary of the Changed ones, some did not even trust their honesty fully. At cases like these, everyone tensed, but with time, most of the personnel learned to accept the fact many strange things happened in their hospital. There were those who took pride and joy in helping and saving those that were more powerful than them.

"A-Alice, what are you doing?" Ryan looked startled, at the sudden determination with which Alice was suddenly moving. His cheeks flushed, when their faces came so close, but when he realized what the girl wanted to do, Ryan helped her get on his lap to his best ability. Alice was so small and light it really was not hard.

"Is everything alright, are you comfortable?" he asked softly, wrapping right arm around her, to support and hold the girl safe. Ryan was understandably surprised at her actions, but for some reason, it brought a happy smile to his face. Until the man understood what Alice wanted, that is.

The slight flush left his cheeks and his eyes darkened, not so much in color than emotionally. Corners of Ryan's mouth dropped and the expression suddenly became dark. It seemed the man struggled with something, his lips twitching few times as if he wanted to say something and then Ryan huffed. "Fine."
"Fine, I will take you to him. But that will be the only time."
With jaw tense, now avoiding to look at Alice, the man slowly wheeled towards the doors that were thankfully left open. His grip on the girl grew firm, nearly too tight to be comfortable.

Nurses looked at the strange pair moving down the corridor with wary expression, but one chose to help him and push the chair to his chosen room. The woman seemed slightly surprised at Ryan's chosen destination, but didn't say anything and few minutes later, they were left at room's doors. "Mr. Amante, you've got visitors," the nurse said, knocking on the doors. "Mr. Royce is returning soon, too." With that she left.

Ryan wheeled deeper in the room, not really caring for Amante's attitude, but did not go near the bed. "Are you alright?" he asked stiffly, wanting to add that it was Alice wanted to know that, but at the same time, wishing to conceal her interest in the man, as much as possible. A moment later, Elek came upon the scene that nearly literally screamed "tense and awkward" and halted on the doors. He was holding a big tray, some clothes thrown over his arm, and now was not sure if to come in or leave for now.
