05 / SCORPIO.

perhaps  he  had  pushed  a  little  too  far,  dug  a  little  too  deep  into  things  he  was  sure  she  would  rather  forget  about.  but  he  did  not  have  the  option  to  forget,  the  day  he  learnt  of  his  mother’s  death  was  so  deeply  engrained  within  his  mind.  it  was  the  day  he  lost  the  only  person  who  really  knew  him,  the  one  person  in  the  world  who  thought  he  was  capable  of  anything.  the  cool  touch  of  metal  digging  against  his  throat  told  him  all  he  needed  to  know;  he  had  been  right  in  his  theories.  every  road  had  led  to  her,  and  it  seemed  she  was  the  answer  all  along.  hands  lift  slowly,  palms  outward,  gaze  studying  her  carefully.  “  do  you  really  want  to  do  this,  astrid  ?  ”  words  breathed  quietly,  chin  tilting  slightly  away  from  the  blade.  “  think  about  this  for  a  second.  ”  he  implores  with  her,  gaze  never  dropping  from  her  features.

it’d be the easiest thing in the world to just be RID of him and his questions.   everything in her is screaming to end this in one swift motion.   the sorts of questions he was asking were grounds for immediate termination;   her reaction had been instinctual,   all the way until this final point,   with only one thing left to do.   NO WITNESSES.   he knows things he shouldn’t.   the edge of the blade pierces his skin,    red blood welling at the site.   she grits her teeth against the urge to follow through with the movement.   it would be easier to get rid of him,   but that’s what O.R.I.O.N. would want.   nausea rises in her and the pressure of the knife lessens as she forces herself to really focus on him.   he’d just wanted to know what had happened to his mom;   she’s just shown him she’s nothing more than the murderer they’d made her.   NO.   she doesn’t want to kill him.   she doesn’t want to kill anyone else for them.    but she also doesn’t want to leave him to his own devices now that he’s figured out the TRUTH of everything,   considering she’s fairly certain he’s not just going to let it go.   indecision flashes in her eyes as she considers him,   “   well what choice have you given me?   ”   she hisses.   “   what the fuck am i supposed to do with you?   ”

“Don’t get me wrong. I want to stop running.”

she shrugs,   gaze traveling around the room at the various glowing screens and beeping machines with some interest.   “   never had the time for it,   i guess.   ”   when her gaze settles on him again,   her brows raise.   “   is there one you’d recommend?   ”   it’s probably best if she at least makes an attempt to blend with the crowd after making a statement that seems to have taken him by surprise.
