“I’ll be long gone.”

“No.  You have a wing...that is going to have to be enough for you,” she said, settling herself between Alex and Jo as she felt her heart breaking, “Now go...this is the only chance you get.  Or I will put you under arrest.  Johanna is out of your reach, Alexandra Danvers.  Push more, and I will kill you.”

The gesture was clear enough. Amaya got up. “Okay, lead the way, I guess.” She said as she followed Jo. Because really, what else could she do?

     Alex asks Jo to give her status reports every now and then, especially if she’s away and they haven’t seen each other in a while. Alex texts her about weapons and training schedules, and combat strategies, she asks her super deep 3am thoughts (if the pup isn’t sleeping with her that night). 

“What happened? Jo what’s wrong?”

"Weren't you the one who was just encouraging me to trust the Danvers?" she arched a brow.  "I admit, I was assuming that it would be one of them that you would choose..." she trailed off with a faint frown.  "But regardless...I trust you, which is what matters."  

“I hope Henry didn’t try any pranks on you whilst I was away?”

eyes narrowing, alex takes a step forward without lowering her gun. “we won’t shoot, unless you give us a reason to.” she knows that’s anything but comforting when there are at least ten barrels pointed right at this stranger, but it’s all she can do for now. this is a serious security breach and alex isn’t about to treat it as anything less. “who are you? where did you come from? and do you have any other weapons on yourself, or something else that i could hurt myself with while searching you?”
