Daughter of Darkness

(alright, I'm off to bed now. night)
Gabrielle gave a mental shrug, "so?"
free or not, it was too late. she was gone, there was nothing left of her to come back to

Jack chuckled as he followed her to the kitchen. He stopped, noticing a curious site in the livingroom. "Look," He said quietly, pointing to Artemis and Kale, then his eyes found Peter.


Peter felt himself break, the small bit that had been holding him together was the hope that she would be happier. But obviously, that wasn't happening. He felt his mind crumbling into the shards that Seph had made it into as if she had just delivered a terribly painful blow, which she did. "....be happy Gabrielle...it's good to be free...." his voice was fading, crumbling.

Dani flinched, her body sore from her stupid mistake of falling. She wrapped her arms around Coral after a second and held her for a moment. "Thanks." She said softly before she went to get off the cot she was laying on, annoyed to be showing so much weakness.

((Night.))

Mirissa froze, the smile that had lit her face at the sight of Artemis and Kale disappearing at the sight of Peter. She walked over, her thoughts traveling quickly, and nudged the Guy with her foot never the girl to wait for answers. "Hey, person I don't know. Wake up."

Jack followed her, wrappin an arm around her, ready to whisk her away if the guy posed a threat, though he was beat up enough he doubted he would do anything. Peter stirred slightly, fighting to keep his connection with Gabrielle as he stared at the girl that had just kicked him.

"Who are you?" Mirissa demanded, her strange eyes shining bright. "What are you doing here all beat up like that? You from the prison?" She asked with her usual bluntness. She nudged him again to make sure he was awake.

((Haha, Mirissa and Jack are a perfect match....they are both very blunt.....))

Peter stared at her. "Peter. And yes." He said, still struggling to keep his connection with Gabrielle.

Mirissa nodded slowly, "I'm Mirissa," she grabbed Jack's arm around her gently. "And that's Jack. Are you hungry?" Her questions answered about who he was she felt more relaxed, but her eyes were watching him carefully for any move she considered wrong. She wasn't willing to take any chances. She was free.

Peter watched her carefully. "I'm dying. What's the point?"

Jack stayed quiet, only raising his brow and tightening his hold on Mirissa.

Mirissa sighed, growling slightly under her breath annoyed. "Should I?" She asked tilting her head to look at Jack, wondering if she should try and heal Peter.

Jack glanced down at her then looked at Peter and looked back at her. "You should ask him..he doesn't look like he wants healed."

Peter raised a brow. Wow the big guy was observant. He wondered what gave it away, the apparent look of rejection at the idea? Or the dead tone to his voice.

Mirissa frowned, "I can heal you completely, no scars or anything." She smiled apologetically at Jack. "I was tired when I healed Jack, he had some stuff left. My way of healing is with the soul, it smooths out the wrinkles and fixes the holes, everything going back to as it should be." She sighed and crossed her arms, waiting for his answer.

Peter watched her carefully. "I'll let you know." He murmered. He wasn't sticking around if Gabrielle wasn't going to be there.

Mirissa growled irritably and pulled herself out of Jack's arms before storming off to the kitchen. Some people.........she scowled and started looking for something resembling food as she remembered the UN fixed stuff to be.

Jack followed her and smiled as he watched her rummage through the cupboards. "You alright?"

She sighed pulling out random items. "I'm fine." She wasn't really sure why she was mad, just that she was. She decided it was Peter's fault. "He can die if he wants to. I don't care."

Jack came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck gently. "I think he's got a girl." He murmered gently. "He's got that look that Kale had for the longest time, you know when Artemis was that shell?"

"Oh," She was quiet for a long time, fixing a very, unusual meal of things she had no.idea what were. "Do you think the girl is here too? In the same shape as him?"

Jack shrugged as he watched her cook. "I bet so, if not in worse shape. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here. Don't you think?"

Mirissa leaned back against him, pursuing her lips thoughtfully as she twined the hand that wasn't fixing her food into his hand. "Maybe I should heal her first. Maybe that would help."

Jack sighed and shrugged. "Perhaps." He said as he held her hand, keeping his arms around her. "I think Artemis might know more about it."

Mirissa nodded, her decision made. "I'll ask Artemis when she gets up. " she pulled the strange meal off the stove and onto two plates. Placing them on the table next to them she continued leaning back in his arms before smiling slightly. And handing him a fork. "Dig in."

Jack smiled and stared at the meal a little tentetively, but ate it like any good man would do.

Mirissa ate it, slowly. She was not going to admit it tasted disgusting. When done she carefully made sure it stayed down as she grabbed their plates and took them to thesink to rinse them. "So, what's on the schedule today?"

"Uh, I'm not really sure...I'm going to have to talk to Kale and see what all needs done first." Jack said as he tried to keep the food down. He watched her happily though, loving her every second.
