Christian walked up to Jo and kept pace as she walked, "Not fun, being lonely, is it?"
He knew the short statement wouldn't elicit much response. "I called my friend, Quin. He's on his way to the mansion to look at the material lost in the fire. He's good with computers. If there's anything to salvage, he'll pull it out."
Sean tried to cover his red face, "Actually, she was the one who insisted on following me," he was, correcting her, "Wouldn't let me leave without her, actually."

"Well about time someone wiped you into shape papa," Catherine joked and grinned at Ellen, "For what it's worth if you two ever get over your hard headiness, I approve."
"I've been alone for a long time Christian, for a moment I wasn't alone but that was just a lie," Josephine said holding her head up high, "I'll survive, that's what my powers allow me to do. And I don't care about the lab anymore, Catherine's awake you guys don't need me anymore, so let me nurse my broken heart and let me be."

"If it means anything at all to you, Jo," Christian said, putting a hand on her shoulder, "I like you. I think you're cool. And I don't want you to leave. No one invited you along for the sake of dropping you like a bad habit. I think you're more wanted then you think."

Josephine shook her head, "No offense but you should really talk to Amelia, she loves you, at least that's what I got from her ramblings," she said and kept walking, "I think I'll just disappear for a while, that'll be best for now. I'll figure out what to do after I stop aching and feeling like I need to puke!" she managed to say before ducking behind a dumpster and puking.

Christian jumped to her side, and pulled her hair from the way, "Jesus Jo! Are you alright? Whats wrong?"
He looked around. Thankfully they were still near the hospital, worst case granting.

"Nothing, I've just have had an upset stomach since Sinister left, probably caught a bug from him or something," she said and managed a smile, though puking up everything she had eaten in the last twenty four hours left her very shakey.

Christian continued to hold her hair, "Come on," he said, giving her a pat on the back, "Let me take you back to the mansion. I can get you some good quality soup, and a bed to rest in. You look like you need it."

"I'm fine, I'm not a child! i'm not some sort of old teammate of yours Christian, just let me alone I'm just going to get a hotel room for tonight and ditch town in the morning. I don't need your help so quit playing the f***ing hero," Josephine growled bitterly and stood up straight and continued walking.

Christians eyes filled with hurt and despair. He couldn't help but dwell on the words 'old teammate' and felt his heart sink. In all the happenings, he had finally gotten Cole off his mind, and began to think past it.
You're right, he thought, biting his lip, I'm not the hero... Not anymore... He watched Jo walk alone, and turned the other way, heading back to the hospital.

Josephine walked and walked until she came to halfway decent looking hotel, she managed to get one of the last rooms. Tiredly she climbed the stairs and opened the door to her room and instantly flopped on the bed. She quickly kicked off her pants and frowned at the slight buldge around her stomach area. She must have gained some wait, but a couple miles of running would get rid of that.
Josephine then crawled underneath the blankets and fell into a deep sleep.

Sean held his daughters hand, "Well, I don't think either of us are much for getting over how hard-headed we are," he said with a grin, "You know me, it's my nature. As for Ellen; well, that's everything about Ellen..."

Ellen stuck out her tongue, "I can be hard headed if I wanna be, all I have to do is walk around in my tighty whities and I can get my way whenever. It's my greatest and most powerful attack."

Sean nodded, "I only agree because you fail to mention wearing a bra."
He looked back to Catherine, and smiled at her, still holding her hand, "Do you know anything about who hurt you, sweety? Anything I can use to find who did it?"

"What can't girl let her girls free once in a while?" Ellen asked sitting in a chair and smiling.
"Not really, it was two girls, they were insanely strong," Catherine said frowning, "Wait, where's Jo? You guys didn't let her leave did you?" Catherine climbed out of bed and looked around for a pair of shoes, "You can't just leave her! She's just as important to this as I am, it they're able to turn her, we will lose. She carries something of the upmost imortance inside her!"

"Hell, what choice did we have," Sean wondered aloud as he held open the door, knowing they had a search on their hands, "She just walked out before we had a chance to say anything, or even thank her."

"Because she doesn't know it yet, but I could feel the life inside of her when she brought me back to my body," Catherine said finding her clothes and quickly putting them on, "If she turns to the dark side, then the life inside her will be given to the Evil as a sacrific."

"Well then quit yer yappin', kiddo," Shrapnel smirked, with a sense of seriousness in his humor, "Let's get to it before it's too late!"

The High Priestess looked at Sinister, "Go after this Josephine, see if you can't turn her head to our cause, you've had dealings with her before. If she doesn't turn then kill her," she said then looked at her daughters, "You two go and take care of Catherine, this time don't be so gentle."
"Yes mother," Noella and Joellla said and smirked devilishly and disappeared.

Sinister reclothed himself, as the girls disappeared, "She will not listen to me easily. She knows when I lie to her now, and getting her to listen will not be an easy task."

"You slept with her, and I feel the love that she has hidden in her heart. She will come, a few tender words from your lips will turn her head and she will follow you," The High Priestess said and smirked, "She is mentally weak, breaking through and getting her to believe your soft words will not be difficult. Now go you're wasting precious time."
