The full moon had been eventful for the household. She’d caught a bit of what happened between bouts of feverish exhaustion and was thankful that Laura’s friends had been looking out for her, when Carly couldn’t herself. The townhouse had been quiet busy, friends coming in and out to check on them both. After a few days and a broken fever she was feeling more herself, enough to go and check on her friend and roommate. 

Her head lifted as the door opened and Laura stepped in. “Hey I was just about to reach out, I’m sorry I haven’t really been around but I’ve got some wine. I have a feeling we could both use it?” 

Laura is through there. She’s safe. 

Gabby stood outside an apartment building, unsure of how she got there. They’d been taking her somewhere, and she’d managed to escape them for a moment. To get away for now. Her feet were bare, and her body felt as though she’d been running. Everything felt wrong. Something in her said that this was home but how could she have a home if she had always been at the facility? Always been one of their weapons? She didn’t have a home, she didn’t get a home. Laura. Find Laura. Gabby swallowed hard. She had to find Laura.

Following her instincts, she went inside and walked up the stairs until she felt a floor call to her. Then a door. She knocked, hands shaking like she was nervous. Why was she nervous? What was she doing? You shouldn’t be here. The door opened and there stood X23. Laura. Gabby didn’t know what to do as she was embraced. As she felt a kiss being pressed to her forehead. You shouldn’t be here. None of this is real, remember? But it felt real... Was it a test?

Knox blinked, very quickly realizing that he... didn't get his way. Laura basically told him no to his request to come to his home to get the needed clearance she required. He was so taken aback he even glanced over towards the bodyguard he'd brought along with him, like he was trying to get confirmation that he indeed had just been turned down. The man simply shrugged his shoulders at his boss and Knox turned his attention back to Laura as she scrolled through her phone. 'I'm fine.' He snapped through gritted teeth, tired of being called out for his body's outward reaction to getting married to his sworn enemy.

Perhaps he would have shrugged her hand off of him had this been a different circumstance, but Knox froze the moment Laura touched him. Like they hadn't just shaken hands to confirm this deal of hers a few days ago. This felt different though, like saying I do had shifted things already. Too much was an understatement. Knox had never felt so thrown off in his life and he'd stared death in the eye one too many times to count in his twenty some odd years. 'Sooner than later Laura, I mean it. My team won't let you on the property without it.'

“You know, Laura, that’s actually comforting to hear right now. Thanks.” As long as Laura wasn’t lying, it told Lorna she wasn’t accidentally using her powers right now. The powers Malice had used to cause such mayhem around the city and leave Lorna feeling like she was an overcharged battery even after the spirit had been banished from her mind. She looked up at Laura. “I heard you were gone for a while. Anything important happen?”
