Starts up the bike and takes off, not paying attention to the speed limit. The ride wasn't that long, and he quickly reaches Trans, pulling to a stop outside Guilty Pleasures.
He leads the way inside the empty club. The soldiers and others have picked the place apart, grafitti written on the walls. He particularly likes whoever wrote 'Raina was a disease ridden whore' on the balcony.
He stops in front of the main doors and glances at her.
"Ready?"
Doesn't wait for her answer, just pushes through.
The city is still deserted, broken. It's dark, even though it's daylight at the cabin. The sickly feel of dark magic skitters over his skin, proving that whatever Raina did hasn't been undone yet.
The whole place vaguely familiar but not able to place why until she sees the stage. Busting up over the graffitti, carefully picking her way through the room.
Shrugging at ready, stepping througfh. And seeming to shrivel.
He crouches down, picking up a rock and looking around.
"I nailed the difference down to some Anita Blake chick. Here, Raina didn't hire the hitman, she killed the woman herself. In one day my Raina killed Blake, Richard and Marcus, and boxed up Jean-Claude."
Shakes his head, looking around, flinching at the sight of Raina's tower.
"No, this is where I hope you understand where I'm coming from, why I trust him. See, the Gabriel from here, she drove him to the breaking point. He sold out the pard because he knew it was the only way she would kill him."
Turns to look at Cherry.
"Our Gabe, yours and mine, he could have walked away from me, let me die after what she did to me the last time, but he didn't. I asked him to stay with me instead of going back to you guys. Yeah, I was selfish and I told myself and everyone I was doing it for you guys. Truthfully, I was scared to death of what would happen if he left me."
"BUt you didn't rock Nate to sleep every night. You didn't live with his whimpers. You didn't have to watch Viv grow worse, not that she was ever well, because yet again, we'd been dumped. Hand to hand to hand and now he shows up going.. OH I'm sorry? It's not that simple, Jase. Not for any of us."
"...what makes you think I didn't do that for my Nate? Three months ago, he was still like Nathaniel, only worse because he wouldn't stay in human form."
"He stopped doing it. We didn't have a fucking alpha to take control of him. We had us. And Raina working every step to destroy us. So don't fucking judge Zane for doing what he had to while you were busy being selfish."
"I'm sorry, I really am. Everyone we'd talked to from other worlds said you guys would be safe, that Blake would kill Raina and you guys would be taken care of. I believed them. And when we found out differently, we came for you."
Sobbing, clinging to him as the tears fell. "I... I don't like him. But he's our Alpha, Jase. He was ours. All we had. And he left and we fell apart and no one protected us... he kept the worse away.. he did... he kept it to safe insanity and then he was gone and we were alone just us and Zane couldn't do it and he tried so hard but he couldn't do it.'
