Outcasts RP

Ben beamed at her, "I'd love that."

"Good." Mercy smiled brightly up at him.

Ben kissed her cheek before murmuring against her skin, "I love you."

Mercy turned and kissed him in response "And I love you." she murmured after a moment.

(Sorry was at work))

Ben beamed at her, massaging her back idly, "Remember how wonderful our wedding was?" He murmured

Mags wrote:Ash's eyes fluttered open, his eyes fixing on Jennings as they started to brim with tears, "M-make the nightmares stop!" he cried.

"Right, right." he said, calming his mind down but still beamed up at her, "I just can't believe it." he breathed.

"You can talk to me about it." she offered, for once her voice was kind and soft as she leaned against the tree Levi was in.

Jennings nodded, his face set in a determined frown. "I'll fight them all away. They'll have to go through me first. As long as I'm here, the nightmares won't bother you. Right?"

"I can't believe it either," she whispered, smiling happily.

Levi hesitated for a long moment before looking down at her. "I'm having a woman problem. You're a woman. Kind of," he amended with a twisted grin.

Ash looked at him for a moment before his lips quavered and he nodded, "R-right." he sniffled.
"And I'm here to help too." Gen murmured, kissing him on the forehead.

"It's going to take a while to sink in." he breathed, trying to process it all.

Erza frowned, "Well, spit it out then."

Jennings smiled. "I'll stay here as long as you want me to."

"We've already gone through it once," she reminded, kissing his chin.

Levi snickered at her. "I still love her," he stated, knowing exactly how it would anger Ezra. "I didn't think I did, but I do. And now my son is sick." He shifted on his branch. "For now, the plan remains the same. We'll just move slower."

Ash moved over to Jenning's side, shaking.
Gen looked at the two and smiled, "I'll go get some food and water." she said quietly.

"I hope we don't have twins again, I don't think I can handle that again." he chuckled lowly.

Erza's frown deepen, "Why does this even bother you? The girl hasn't been in your life in years and your son shouldn't change this plan. This is more important than anything."

Jennings nodded and leaned back against the wall with Ash.

"Dear God, that would be stressful. Another boy would be nice."

"You don't have a kid. You wouldn't understand. No, she hasn't been in my life for years, but she was in my thoughts day in and day out, whether I wanted her there or not."

Ash started to moan in pain as he hugged himself, "I feel like I'm going to explode." he gasped.

"Another troubling boy." he chuckled, "That could be very difficult, but I'm for the challenge."

"This is all your past, Levi. Didn't you want to . . dispose of it." she said, talking about Avon's destruction, "Is this all more important then your dream?"

"Don't do that. I don't want to clean it up," Jennings tried to joke - to get him to smile or laugh.

"Maybe he'll be the quiet, timid kind of boy. The indoor kind," she said hopefully.

"I did. Things change. People change. Maybe I've been misdirected all this time."

Ash tried to laugh but instead he started to cough violently.
Gen reentered the room giving Ash a glass of water. He caught his breath and smiled weakly.
"Here's some food." she said, handing him a slice of bread. He shook his head though.
"No," he whimpered.

"That's wishful thinking." Alaric chuckled, "But I love our crazy son."

"No, you haven't." Erza urged, "You have to stay on this path, or you'll lose everything. You can't possibly think of going back to that . . b*tch!"

Vincent walked through the courtyard, guards in front of him as he glanced around curiously at the place he once lived.

"You'll get sicker if you don't eat," Jennings said, reiterating what their mom always told them.

"It is," she admitted with a laugh. "I do, too. Crazy is good. It's tiring. But good."

Levi's eyes flicked towards her. They were cold and harsh. "Call her a b*tch again, and I'll rip your lungs out," he warned steadily as if he was perfectly capable of doing it. And he was.

(Off to take a shower and go to bed. Good night!!)

"I don't want to eat." he said quietly, the thought of food sickened him more. He hugged his chest as he released a scream of pain.

"Indeed it is." Alaric smiled. He looked over as he heard a knock on the door. He sat up and walked to the door. Claudia stood outside, paled, "Vincent is here."
Alaric nodded, "I'll be right down." his voice grim.

Erza snorted, "I can't believe you're our leader. You're a coward. Letting some girl who has probably moved on from you already get in the way of your dream." she then looked over at Vincent who glanced over at her curiously before continuing on forward.

Jennings hugged and rocked him back and forth.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Isabella asked.

Levi just leered down at her, unwilling to be baited.

Ash sniffled, "I feel like something is ripping me in half." he whimpered, scared.

"No." Alaric said bluntly, shaking his head, "I don't want you near that madman."

Erza rolled her eyes, "When you actually want to lead, let me know. If not, I'm taking over the plan."

"I know. But you could talk to yourself if you were cut in half."

"OK. I'll be here," she said quietly.

"Cause that'll work well. The others won't follow you."

Ash broke a small smile. He released a yawn and suddnely panicked. He couldn't go back to sleep, he wouldn't.

"Stay safe." he murmured, kissing her on the cheek as he headed downstairs to meet Vincent.

"Believe what you want, we'll see." Erza smirked, "You may want to be informed that there was a strange man that just entered the estate. If you're not too busy in your own world to check it out."

Jennings stayed awake with him as long as Ash was conscious. He couldn't leave him alone.

"I'm more worried about you."

Levi frowned and climbed down. "Is that Vincent?"

Ash never even closed his eyes for more then a few seconds. Dark rings formed underneath them as he stayed awake, shivering and pale.

"I can defend myself." he assured with a charming smile, "I'll be up soon."

Vincent turned, smirking at his cousin, "Long time no see." he said, his voice as smooth as silk.

Isabella smirked. "Don't be long."

Levi flashed a wickedly charming grin. "Long time no see."

"I'll try not to be." Alaric assured, heading downstairs.

"You look . . different." Vincent smirked, "I heard you ran away before the fight. We could've used you there, we may have won and not lost the lives of your mother and temporary lover."

Isabella watched him go nervously.

"They had it coming," Levi hissed, leaning in closer.

"Perhaps they did, but if you stayed, you'd have everything, you know." Vincent smirked, "Instead you damned yourself to be an even eviler man then Alexander. I've heard rumors of how you butchered people, you truly are broken, cousin."
