Elysia had just gotten home from a hunt. She was exhausted, but knew she had to fix the gash that was in her arm, since it was making her dizzy. She took of the patch that she normally kept over her missing eye, before slipping a new clean one on. The missing eye didn't hurt to much anymore, just sucked more than anything. She took out her first aid kit and started to stitch up the wound that was making her so dizzy. She hissed with every insert of the needle into her flesh. After all was said and done she bandaged it up and went to lay on the couch. She'd been living in this house alone for a while and tried to be in it as little as possible. Seeing as she didn't really have any money or an income the fridge was empty and her stomach growled because of it. She lays down and covers her eyes. She would just rest for a moment. She told herself before exhaustion and hunger took over and she fell asleep.

Adam had been traveling for days as he finally makes it back to his home in Chicago. Slowly he removed his glove as he walked up to the side of the house and slid his hand under the mailbox. The soft scanning of it unlocked the hidden stair well to the basement. Descending the stairs he noticed the light was on in the living room. No words, just thoughts, opening the door he carefully put his glove back on.
As he creeped around his own house but his fears and worry was vanquished as he looked upon the sofa to see Elysia. Eye patch and all, crashed out on the couch. Slowly he walked over, still wearing his mask and get up, and picks her up to carry her to his bed. Originally he was going to get her her own room but she got so used to his room that he gave up. Adam originally left to go hunting and he got swept up in the passion of the moment, which sadly, ended up in breaking him even more. With a heavy sigh he sets her down and starts to inspect the gash upon her, pulling out a small vial of blue liquid. Still wearing the mask, still silent.

Elysia woke up after a few minutes finding herself on the bed, with Adam there. She looks at him shocked, "W-when did you get here?" She asks sitting up. She takes in a deep breath and looks at her arm and then at him, "It's not that bad." She says with a smile. She sat up and yawned rubbing her eyes. Elysia looked around she was surprised to see him, she looks back at the cut again, "Crap... well okay maybe I didn't clean it that well..." The stitches had also missed in a few places. She looks up at him and smiles weakly, brushing hair out of her face. She had missed him so much. "Oh your mail is on the counter if you want to go through it." She said before trying to stand up. She felt so dizzy that she had to sit down again before letting out a sigh.

Adam lifts a brow as he looks at her, removing his jacket to reveal his curiosity, "Mail?" he chimes in as he slowly folds up the mask, putting it in his jacket. Putting the jacket and plethora of guns on a sturdy coat rack he leaves. "I'm stayin' here again...." he chimes as he goes and finds the letters. No one sent him mail, as far as the city was concerned the house didn't exist. Sifting through the pile of letters he started to wonder who the hell they were from.
Adam took the stack back with him to the bedroom as he handed her the vial of medicine he accidentally took with him. "Drink this...." he chimes as he sits on the bed next to her. Messing with her hair as he put his fingers through it, almost petting her, he opened one up and started to read it.
Adam cared for Elysia and was happy she was still in his home, slightly sad that he left loki and his truck but he had to move on. He trusted her and knew she, well at least hoped with his last shred of hope for those he knew, would not betray or hurt him.

Elysia nodded and tried to stand up again as he left the room, but once more she fell down. She took in a deep sharp breath, it hurt so much, she must have a wound she didn't notice. Elysia took the medicine from him and took it in one shot. It made it feel less painful but she needed to know what it was. Though for now, she watched him. The letters were those from Riot, the first one explaining that he had a child on the way. The few after that showing ultrasounds. The last one was one from Corbin's birth explaining that she wasn't going to send him anymore letters because it seemed like he had moved on with his life. She sat perfectly still and then decided she needed to see she lifted up her shirt and saw a deep gash across her stomach, she opened her eyes wide and tried to put her shirt down before Adam sees anything.

Adam sighs heavily as he looks over, holding the letters, sighing once more as he saw that she quickly pulled her shirt down to hide something. Firmly and coldly he ordered her. "Take it off...." The letters would have to wait, as sad as it was Elysia needed help now.
Walking over as he pulls out bandages and some of the green stuff he kept in his jacket. This was his personal dosage that helped him with his pain. He would have to make more because it was his last vial. Selflessly he put it in a small bowl and started to soak the wrappings and then put it on the wound. If she didn't lift off her shirt so he could wrap it he would do it by force if need be. After wrapping her up he would once again force her if she didn't listen. "Drink..." Putting the rest of the vial to her lips.
With a disgruntled groan he rubs his forehead. "Take it all off... I don't trust you to only have that one...." Pulling out his last vial of medicine in the house, blue one under the bed, he starts to soak bandages. Wrapping up any and every cut, bruise, and gash in her faulty stitching or not. After a long bout of getting her bandaged up and such he finally asks. "What the hell happened to you?"

Elysia lifts her shirt off of her flesh practically peeling it because of the blood. She had been listening to music and her headphones unplugged right in time for a song to begin playing, it was interesting and made her smile, ironic to how she felt as he started to wrap her abdomen.
She slips off her pants, to show him the other cuts and bruises she'd been acquiring during his absesense, but she stayed silent until the song ended. She couldn't help but get lost in this song, it was so amazing to how she felt at this exact moment. She leaned back and let him see it all, "I've been hunting." Is all she could say at this moment, it was true, how often she couldn't say. It was obvious she hadn't been eating a lot lately, or really sleeping. She looked up at him, "May I ask what happened to make you come back here to stay? Not that I'm not happy because I really am. I'm extatic." She says letting him wrap her. She couldn't believe this was happening, so often she had taken care of him, now here she was laid up while he bandaged her. Her missing eye was starting to bother her, and she unless stopped she would try to rub it. She'd mostly gotten used to it, but if she wasn't paying attention she would forget not to touch it.
Elysia was a very sweet little girl who would do anything to keep Adam safe, she couldn't stand losing another person. She would hiss if she had been allowed to touch her eye, and brush her hair out of her face if she wasn't. The next song started to play and it made her laugh. She couldn't help it, apparently her phone was on a Rent kick, and to be honest this song was funny. She looks up at Adam and blinks she knew he felt guilty about her eye and for every scar on her from the trip to Wales.
She looks up at him as the song end and another one plays this one she didn't care for as much, "Adam... I want you to know it wasn't your fault. You don't have to worry about it anymore. They don't hurt as much." She says sitting up kissing his cheek. "Besides. I got caught~!" She says with a laugh. She didn't want him to blame himself anymore, she wanted him to be happy. "I want you to be you Adam, you are the only person I can trust anymore."

Adam slapped her hand so that she didn't regret touching her eye. "I came home because I missed it here..." is all he said.
Listening to the odd music play he just quietly bandages her up. No emotion upon his face as he looks at her grim body slowly becoming more and more like his. Scarred beyond recognition. When a song comes on that he knows strikes him.
The bandages are wrapped and her wounds are covered. No emotion or expression as his eyes slowly hollow out and fade out of focus. Habit takes over as he rises and gives a weak and forced smile. "There ya go luv...." He whispers softly with pain repressed in silver. Leaving the room he goes to the kitchen and places his hand under the sink. A small compartment rises as blood whiskey in a crystal container, the cold containment causes a soft mist to escape as he pours himself a glass. Unbeknown to him tears already started to cross his cheek. Nothing was felt except the desire to drink.
Putting his hands on the counter as he lifted the glass and downed the thing in one go. Pouring himself another. He was the cause for her scars, her missing eye, her loneliness. If he didn't leave her or the house, or if he didn't let her go off alone, then she would still be okay and he would have taken her scars upon himself. The pain of his own injuries was bearable when they were upon himself. Slowly his own medication started to ware thin as the pain slowly seeped into his limbs. Another drink down, he had to numb himself quick, pouring another as the pain started to intensify.
Slowly he started to feel nothing once more, granted he wasn't aware of his surroundings but that was okay, he would play it off purely as the letters. She didn't need to know his pain or anything that transpired. Calmly he wipes his eyes as he stands up dignified, if she didn't follow him he would walk back in and see how she was.

Elysia watched him leave the song wasn't one she was familiar but it hit her hard as well. She did follow Adam. She watched him in perfect silent, she'd said something wrong, in trying to comfort him she'd messed up more. She had her headphones on one ear. Tears falling down her face as she watched Adam.
Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow From this nightmare?
The words kept repeating in her ear and in her mind. She was about to pass out from the sound of it, she had to use the wall to steady herself. Elysia felt like she was going to puke, which probably meant it was a good thing she hadn't eaten. She dropped to her knees almost perfectly silent. Elysia fell further to where she was on her hands and knees. The song kept at it, louder and louder, even after that song was over it played the second part which was worse than the first. She started to dry heave but couldn't manage to get the headphones off, she was crying. Something had gone so wrong with Adam, and she hadn't been there for him. She could feel it, and that knowledge just served to make her feel more ill. She took in deep breaths after nothing comes up. Her body was shaking trying to hold itself up. The girl felt so bad, that she wasn't there for Adam when he needed her. If he came to comfort her she would cling to him repeating, "I'm sorry love... I'm sorry."

Well Adam started to hate himself more as he picked her up. Putting her on the bed he kissed her forehead. "No.. you did nothin' wrong... I'm a wreck... stay here... promise me?" His words are soft and kind as he spoke. As quickly as he put her in the bed he was gone. Adam was running as fast as his legs would go to the local store. He had a hand full of dollars and bought as much food as he could with it. Soups, chicken, cereal, gingerale, all kinds of stuff. While he wasn't built he carried the bags back. Fifteen minutes in the shop and ten running there and back. Thankfully he was fast and could just weave and jump through cars screeching to a halt as he booked it down. Fuck yous and assholes called as he was already a block away.
Sliding his hand down and up the stairs a clomp clomp clomp rings as he throws the door open. Saltines in hand as he throws the bags down. "Eat!...." Adam hated himself but he had to push in order to heal her. She is all he cared about at the moment as he leans in and hugs her. "I'm sorry..." he leans back as he is inches from her face. "Can you forgive me?"

Elysia let him pick her up, she looks up at him, trying to grasp what was going on. She listened to him blinking a few times. She was trying to gain some control over the situation. It didn't help, but she nodded anyway, "I-i will stay right here Adam." She promises as she watches him run off. She blinks a few times before looking over at her phone, she put her headphones back on and listened to the music. Tears falling down her face, she had worried him, but she couldn't let him come back to her crying. She wanted to be happy for him, she wanted him to be happy more than she wanted anything. She had no idea who she could call, who she knew who could give her advice on what to do. Elysia had, had a person to talk to a long time ago in Wales, but last she heard he had died... or at least that's what his parents had told her. She really believed that they didn't want their son hanging out with someone like her. It upset her, but later she had found out he'd been sent away by his parents.
She heard Adam coming back into the room she looks up at him and smiles at him, rather shocked by his entrance. She takes the saltines and nods her head, "Th-thank you Adam." She hugs him back, she heard the words but Elysia didn't understand them, they made no sense. "I... I can forgive you for anything Adam, but I'm not sure what exactly you did to need forgiveness to be honest."

Adam hovered there as he smiled, a small choke as a tear hit her cheek. He was crying for her be it a mixture of sorrow and happiness. Softly he whispers as he kisses her forehead. "I'm sorry because I left you when I said I would protect you..." Leaving the crackers and gingerale he stands to take the rest and goes to the kitchen. Once again speaking before he leaves the room. "No one I love should suffer because of my carelessness... right now you're all I got..." a grim smile once again a sign mixed with happiness and sorrow is upon his face as he leaves.
Turning on the stereo in the kitchen he starts to play some music. The music flows through the house and even if unintentional his subconscious wants it. Adam starts to cook as he continues to drink more whiskey. Mixed emotions awaken in him as he starts to mumble to himself. "Those I love... HA!... I have a problem......" Mumbling more as he starts to put flare into his drunken cooking. "...Impure th-thoughtsts... got me into this hell of a hell hole... Ha! her hell hole got me into this hell hole... but wha'ever.. Gotta cook... stay outta da bedroom mon..." Oddly he starts just rambling as the music switches once more. His ramblings revolve around staying in the kitchen and that he has a problem. With his arm catching fire he just waves it and pats it out while he keeps cooking over the stove. The bottle completely empty as he finishes the chicken parmigiana.
"HEY! Fewd!" he shouts to her as he sloppily sets the plates down. Granted he managed to get it all on the plate save maybe a quarter of the spaghetti. Tossing the pans into the sink with loud clanks he leans over the table and starts to eat. He is a wreck but slowly his brain turns and switches into what he needs it to be. The food helps and slowly he starts to hide his intoxicated state, finally becoming aware of his surroundings.

Elysia sat perfectly still as he kissed her forehead, she wanted to shake her head, tell him he is wrong, but she knew there was really no point. She follows him out into the kitchen and she stand silent, watching him carefully. Her purple eye staying on the man even as he sets himself on fire, he was drinking a lot he kept talking about a problem. She heard about him wanting to stay out of the room. She tilted her head, that made no sense to her, did he want to stay away from her? She couldn't ask, she couldn't move or speak. She stood perfectly still, perfectly silent until he called out for her. She took her seat at the table before looking at the food and smiling, "Thank you Adam." She says quietly, she was appreciative but she worried that if she spoke to loud she could shatter the man. She took a bite and smiles, "It's good." She kicked her feet, "I... Adam I was thinking, can we maybe get a kitten?" She asks her eyes darting to the door that was supposed to have been her bedroom.
Post by Adam Alexander Helviath on Sept 9, 2013 11:16:06 GMT -5
Adam eats and chews then swallows before he answers. "Sure.... Let me take a nap... when you're done I want you to do the dishes then look up where you want to get a kitten... when you find out and do all of that come wake me up..."
Taking in a deep breath he lets it out slowly as he seems to zone into a different state of existence. Walking straight with only twice putting up his hand he makes his way to the bedroom. Adam figured she would spend time eating slowly, washing the dishes slowly, then searching for just the kitten would take her at least an hour or two. Flopping off his shoes he took off his shirt and flopped onto the bed. Violently kicking off his pants he crawls under the sheets and turns around to lay on his back. With a heavy yet happy sigh he clonks out.
His scars burned under the sheet but he slept through it easily with that much alcohol in him, a smile upon his face as he slept with his hands stretched to the side. His metabolism would burn through and slightly sober him up when he predicted she would be done. If she came in the room and ignored his suggestion he would not wake up unless she shook him or what not. Adam figured he would nap it off when he woke up he would have calmed down from his natural dark agenda. He had a problem and he would not force it upon the poor girl. She was the last one he trusted, besides Vincent and his wife, and he didn't want to lose her.

Elysia ate very slowly it took her an hour just to finish what he had gotten her. She did the dishes as she was asked but by the time she was done with that she didn't think she could leave the house she was so exhausted. She went into his lab and tried her damnedest to recreate the blue drug, all she ended up doing was creating a smoke that threatened to choke her. She fell from the chair, eyes closed, passed out. She hadn't really studied Alchemy yet so, she whatever it was she made, it wasn't what she meant to. She laid on the floor of the lab choking even in her passed out state. She managed to cough up some blood, but wouldn't wake up. She simply laid there, blood dripping out of her mouth. She had been trying to help make Adam feel better and in the mean time she probably just made his life harder, but no matter how hard she tried to wake herself up, she just couldn't.
