[Mizeria]

Alice felt arms around. Kind and warm. She thought for a moment it was in her mind. That he was back.. holding her again... Then she realize that he was not there. She was back in that damnable place. In the bathroom where she had run to get water, and it wasn't him... it was the boy? Her faced flushed a little because it was odd to have someone she didn't know hold her that way.
"I-I'm sorry... I wanted to... talk to you sooner..." Her voice was almost completely normal but it didn't want to work... rebelling against her remembering the pain of being broken.
"I-I'm fine now.. My voice... It was the least important to fix so it was last... The water from earlier really helped me... Thank you..." She turned in his arms and looked at him. Her green eyes shining like emeralds even in the dim room.
"My name is Alice."

"Gavin... We got an issue out there..." Riley said from outside the door. He knew it was a bathroom. He had the floor plans memorized. He had to make sure they could get out of there. His background showed. He was a fighter, and he, like Gavin, didn't like that there were in the room... It was a trap waiting to happen.
"We need to move now. Where is Luther?!" the stress in his voice let on he was worried. The fires were dying down. The team was ready to run through... He couldn't trust himself with magic. Gavin was.. he cocked his head sideways... busy with a girl... god there was no getting used to that. Luther would give him shit for it later.

Alice looked at the man in the doorway and panic rushed through her. She started shaking... which Gavin wouldn't have noticed if he wasn't so close. She tried to reach for her calm space... Tried to form words...

"He... You..." Her panic made it hard to speak. She didn't understand. This man was in uniform. His face was hidden like the rest. He was BAD... Wasn't he?
