Jack lowered his ears, knowing what the boy was thinking. "Normally I wouldn't acknowledge or invade someone else's thoughts.. but... Don't think of yourself as a bother." Grace ended up saying before she could think. She leaned against the door frame with a soft expression. "If you want to leave I won't stop you and neither will Jack." Grace said quietly. Jack turned his attention to his buddy and his nose twitched. Grace nodded to the little rabbit.

Alex looked up quick, and saw grace as she spoke. "I'm sorry, it's just I have lost everyone in my life that I cared about, and I don't want you lost either.." he said not really thinking, but it came out anyway. His face got red quick and he looked down. "I'm not going to leave." he added softly still shocked he actually said that.

Grace smiled a little and went to sit beside her new friend on the bed, knowing what he meant. She didn't say much, but you could tell she was happy.

Alex sat there for a little but not talking, but just looking down. He was glad she was there ans had someone to be around again. After a long while he looked over at grace "what you want to do today?" He asked his face red just slightly but it didn't bother him anymore, besides he just pritty much told her what he felt already.

Grace was still a little sleepy but Jack made his little rabbit noises and she gazed at him. "How about I whip us up some breakfast first?" She giggled lightly. Jack hopped off the bed and made his way into the kitchen.

"That sounds good" Alex said as he stood up and smiled at her. "Before we do too much I have to get some things from my place if you don't mind" he asked with a soft smile. It sounded like he was staying with her for a while at least so he had to get some of the stuff he might need while he was there. Stuff that could keep his mind busy and might.help them out in the long run.

Grace smiled and gave a small nod. "Sure thing." She slowly stood and went to leave the room but before she did she turned to gaze at Alex. "Breakfast should be ready by time you get back." Grace said quietly then made her way happily to the kitchen where she fed Jack before doing anything else. When the small rabbit was happy she pulled some pans out and began to make eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

Alex nodded and headed out of the appartment. He knew it wasn't to far away, but he couldn't just grab everything. He made a list as he ran to his place and up the stairs. He flung open his door and started grabbing cloths, and a few peices of his tech gear that he would mess with. "Where you going?" Said a voice standing at the front door way. Alex sighed, he was hoping he didn't have to run into her. "I'm headed to a friends fore a while Sam. " he said as he stood up and looked at the sad girl. "I won't be gone forever trust me." He added as he steeped closer to her. He knew she liked him, but she was more of a sister then anything. He gave her a hug and stepper around her shutting the door. "How long?" She asked softly. "I'm not too sure.." he replied, sad himself to be gone without knowing but it had to be done. He walked quickly back to the appartment where grave was.

Breakfast would be ready soon and Grace's smiled had faded. "I hope.. this is the right choice..." She said quietly and mainly to herself. When the food was done she turned the stove off and and began to make the plates then went to set the table. "He would be safer here... Right?" She sighed softly. ~Jeez! Why'd you have to go do that?! Sending me here without telling me anything!~ Grace thought to herself pretty much when she was talking to the one who sent her here.

Alex got back not really saying much. He took his three bags into the spare room and started hooking up his stuff. When he was done he had one small elaberate computer system set and it was ready to go, but he kept it off and placed his bag of cloths beside the bed and walked out to where grace was waiting for him. "Sorry it took a while.. smells good" he said as he slid the chair out and sat down. "Thanks grace.. for everything" he said softly. Not to many people greatest him like she did and he Washington happy for it.

When Alex came back with wanted to smile but you couldn't hardly see it. "Welcome back Alex." She greeted him, shaking her head. "It's okay." Grace sat beside him and nodded lightly. "Sure thing." She smiled a little and munched on a piece of bacon.

Alex ate some.pancakes and eggs that she had made. He couldn't help but wounder. "Is everything ok? " he asked softly as he looked over at her. It was like something wasn't right or did he do something wrong already. He ate quietly after that until his plate was gone. He waited a bit before getting up and taking the dishes and starting that water to wash all that was dirty.

Grace finished her breakfast before standing and going into the kitchen. She set her plat down and gently hugged Alex from behind, wrapping her arm loosely around the others waist. "You didn't anything wrong... Okay? I'm sorry for getting you dragged into this... I'm not proud of it... My goal.. is to keep you safe, my father told me before you got back.." She said quietly.

(Works a bit crazy today.. sorry for not getting back quick)
Alex was a bit surprised when he felt arms around him. It didn't bother him at all, intact it kind of felt nice. He didn't question her either because he knew she could do more than he could immagine. "Well ill try and do what I can to protect you as well." He said with a small smile. He held her hands that her in front of him softly. "Its not your fault.. I kinda got myself info this it wasn't you." He added. He tired the water off before it overflowed onto the floor.

(it's okay, don't worry about it ^-^)

As much as Grace wanted to stay where she was with the other, she slowly pulled away and rubbed the back of her head. Jack came into the kitchen holding her special mirror and was jumping up and down. Grace knelt down and carefully took the mirror. Only she could see what the mirror played. "Alex, stay here. I'm leaving Jack with you, I have to go stop someone from doing something stupid." She said before handing the mirror back to Jack then raced out of the room. When she was outside she let her wings out whether the others could see or not and flew with speed.

She caught a boy around the age of 12 who was thinking about jumping off the roof of a 5 story building. He did jump and she sped up, catching him in her arms before he hit the ground. "What are you stupid?" The boy looked up at her and blinked several time. She landed on her feet and sighed when he would let go of her. "Fine, have it your way." She smirked and headed back to her apartment. The boy had black hair and blue eyes.

Alex sighed and nodded. "Be careful.." he said as she took off. He got the dishes done and he found out there the stuff went and put everything back. He smiled down at jack and knelt down to pet him. He got back up and sat down infron of halos computer and starter messing around on it. There was nothing new on the stiff he usually looked up, so he got deeper into his hacking software to try and see what he could find on the people that killed his parents. They were the ones he wanted to find, they almost killed Jim and got away with it, he was just guessing that they might have something to do with what was happening to him now and why grace might be down here.

"Elliot." The boy spoke up. "Hm?" Grace looked at him with a curious gaze. "My name is Elliot." "Alright, Elliot. Wanna tell me why you were trying kill yourself?" She asked in a soothing voice as she walked. Elliot was quiet. Grace gave him a comforting smile but didn't say say anything more. Upon reaching her apartment she opened the door and Jack immediately panicked at the sight of the boy. "Relax Jack.." She said quietly and closed the door behind her. "Alex I'm home." Elliot gazed around the room.

Alex got up from his computer and headed out of his room. He stopped suddenly seeing the boy. "What did you try doing this time?" He asked looking at elliot. "Just because your parents went here doesn't mean you have to give up living and disapoont them." He added as he knelt down to be eye level with him. He looked up at grace. "He was taking in by the same people as I was." He added standing back up

Grace blinked a few times then sighed ever so lightly. "He tried to kill himself." She said quietly. Elliot looked at Alex then looked away.

"Hes a quiet one" Alex said he he shrugged. "He has pritty much followed me around since that day.. been two years now. Odd things have happened that I couldn't quiet understand either." He said and he sat down. "You better get back to Sam .. shes probably worried sick." He said looking down at elliot. He had some things to show grace be he just wanted her to know, they kinda involved the boy and he knew there was some connection now that he was thinking of it. 'I know you can hear my thoghts. Well I'm hoping at least.. I need to talk with you..' he thought to himself hoping to get through to grace.

Elliot looked back at Alex. "I don't want to..." He muttered stubbornly. Grace gave an acknowledged nod to Alex. First, they had to figure out what to do with the kid who didn't want to go back to Sam.

"Ill must have to take you back myself then" Alex said as he got up. He had to get the kid off his back, especially if what he was thinking would be right. "They can take care of you where I can't.. besides we are leaving tonight so you can't stay here." He added and was getting a bit inpashent with the kid.

Elliot stuck his tongue out. "Elliot..." Grace said caringly yet sternly causing the young boy to get down and stand on his own. "Fine. See you later Alex." He said then was out the door. "Quit sky-diving!" Grace called to the kid then sighed. "I love kids, but sometimes I swear..." She mumbled quietly to herself and closed the door then looked at Alex. "About what you were wanting to talk to me about, what's up?" Grace asked kind of worried.

"I want you to see something that I found just before you got back with him.. it don't look too good either. " Alex said staring up and walking toward the other room. "This is what I found out.. since that boy has followed me around this has been what all happened." He stows back so she cold read it. "There's got to be a.connection with him and you.. and I don't think its a good one." He said looking at grace."I think hes the one that's tracking me.. and if that's right they know I'm here and that means they got you as well." He said quickly.

"He's a little boy..." Grace whispered to herself quietly then shook her head. "Either way they already had me... If they know you're here, then father was right." Had saying too much in short notice she hushed herself. He's safer with us.. but Sam might be in danger now too.. I'm a guardian, not the only one I'm sure but I hope the others know... She thought to herself.
