ALEX VASQUEZ

“Excuse me,” Alex made his way through the compound just to make it up to the wing that housed the makeshift quarters for mentors who needed a suite and those who’d already chosen the HQ as their bunk. His voice was careful not to disturb the older man but he leans against the door, considering he might’ve been studying or revamping his class or something- Alex didn’t want to be too much of a distraction. He gripped the plastic wrapping behind his back and he soon presents the gift. It wasn’t much, because Alex wasn’t able to go out and get the man something nice, but it was a bunch of bite-size Snickers and Twix bars arranged in a bouquet and tapped to green straws. 

“Well if you were able to do all of that, then you aren’t too far gone. “ Eddie pointed out. Seeing Alex like this made him wish that their parents were still here. He missed them and even at their worst moments, they always wanted what they thought was the best for them. “You and your hair are going to be alright, Alex. I promise. Sit on my bed.” While he was talking, the mini fridge door opened and there was a bottle of water moving towards them. “Drink some water. “ He tried to think about why Alex was stuck like this. He wasn’t an expert on demons at all and he cursed himself for not being more prepared for this. “You being loco about this isn’t helping yourself. Now what do you need for me to do? You know your demons and you know your powers. You can still talk to me so you’re in control for now. We’re going to do this. Together.”

Alex tried to find humor in it to show that he wasn’t trying to think too hard on the situation but there was an evident fact that he wasn’t exactly handling it well. Seeing Eddie like this made him feel the opposite. He was glad they weren’t around to see this- see him like this. The man groaned, still keeping hands away from his face. “Water isn’t going to fix this? I’ve already taken my body size in fluid.” Alex slowly shift. Hands falling. He wasn’t embarrassed. Not by the features. There were so many details going wrong. He would black in-and-out. Conscious had come and gone. But Eddie wouldn’t be the wiser. The demon began to pull strings and as he sat on the bed, he lets his hand drift across his brow. He rests. “I think I just want to sleep, now. I’m feeling exhausted.” He looks toward his brother before sliding back against the wall. Perhaps he could determine a plan of action.

“Appreciate your opinion, Laz. Mr. Laz.” Alex shrugs. He opts to just show him another one since he wasn’t so shy, just for the hell of it. “What’s up?”

“Well well. Thank you. I ain’t swinging a caboose like most of the dude here but I got a lil somethin to work with.” Since Laz was already here, Alex shows him another pic. “I was bored. Should I tweet this out?” 

“Close your eyes. I’ve got admirers.” 

“Alright, baby. Not too much. I don’t want The Walking Dead slurping at my cheeks.” 

“Someone is ready for dinner time?”

“Be nice to me.” Alex groans. His hand combing through his hair, which mind you, was still suffering. He’d put enough product to keep it from being greasy or making build-up but it was pretty damn shiny and straight. “I hope this is my brother and not some secret admirer but imagine if I had one. B-T-dubbs, Eddie, I gave you your own stick of my deodorant because mine somehow came up missing.” 

The quarantine was affecting everyone differently. Eddie could feel the anxiety of the Advocates and it itched at his skin. He was trying to remain calm for the most part. It would past ( he hoped ) and everything would be back to normal. He was just happy that he and Alex were on the inside. He feared for those who might have been caught out and had to find shelter of some sort. Though he didn’t expect Alex’s powers to act up like this. He pulled his brother in, shutting the door mentally. He took off the t-shirt. “Your hair? That’s the first thing you’re worried about?” He kept from rolling his eyes but the tone was still present. “I need you to relax. I can feel the anxiety and adrenaline radiating from you. You’re going to be fine. Trust me.”

Alex instinctively reached for the shirt the moment Eddie grabbed it. Panic skyrockets and when he felt the light swarm his features, he growled. He hides most of his face with his hands. 

he heard the male’s voice, pulling him out of his bloodlust induced rage. sam couldn’t help but stare at the other. the aura of him seemed— different than most here that he had encountered so far in his few months. “actually… a lot of people are.” he knew he was still on watch. the only reason why he was out of a confinement cell. gods– he needed to feed. “you just seemed— to look down on me like others do…. and plus– i’m starving..” he mumbled..

“I ain’t in no place to look down on anyone. I’m struggling to fit in just like you. I mean...I ain’t got no files against me but I doubt they trust me.” Alex was in there, somewhere. Right now, the demon had consumed his time and with his finer control, he was able to metamorph at a different pace. Within this body, he’d make himself comfortable while he had the controls. “I don’t think giving you my blood would do you any good. I heard vampires start to burn up when they drink from possessed or demonic beings.” He shrugs. There was one way to test the theory. Admittedly, the demon was curious but for the sake of blending in, he had to be Alex. He shakes his head. “Can’t they fabricate some vegan blood or somethin’?”

Alex was freaking out. Under the facade of just dealing, his nerves were up in shambles and his anxiety was through the roof. His own reflection betrayed him so could he really trust anything around him. His respiration was through the roof. The only thing keeping him from a panic attack was the fact he could talk himself through almost anything. Almost. “No, I...what if I’m stuck like this? My luscious locks.” Alex wrapped his head in a t-shirt doubling as a mask. “Fuck.” He slipped in and out of awareness as he stands at the door. “I don’t know. They told me we had to be stuck in here and I freaked the fuck out in my bathroom. Next thing I know, I’m here. What if I can’t turn back??”
