*Dr walks in carefully seeing the massive damage to the kitchen and the signs of the battle*

What would be worth this... Somthing. Someone has a powerful enemy.

*she leans down and places a towel under the head of john 0 so he comfetable not likely able to lift him but tying to help and offer a careful amount of water *

This place needs a Dr... They not be short of patients.

...

*Major looks up seeing massive damage and sighs that this place is worse than the capital wasteland. *

*Beatrix's teeth grind under the news, and she manages to put a face behind the description Xan gives, and puts two and two together, and figures the man talking to John before is Gordon. As such, she pivots on her heels and slaps John in the same motion. She stares daggers into him, before walking out of the kitchen and towards Eustace and Zeta, whatever anger she had quickly dissipating under the stress of telling them both, even though she dislikes Zeta a fair bit. Her hold around Vaseraga's scythe tightens as she finally makes it to them, and she clears her throat to get their attention.*

---

*Zeta is kneeling beside Eustace, who is only starting to sit up himself, when Beatrix arrives. At first, Zeta is on the defensive, but stops the moment she sees Vaseraga's scythe, to which she reacts by covering her mouth at the realisation. Eustace is a bit less emotional, but the pain is heavy in his eyes. He stands up with a lot of effort, and limps over to Beatrix, before pulling her into an embrace. She openly cries into his shoulder, but still doesn't let go of the scythe. Not a single word uttered, and yet all three of them know exactly what happened and what has to happen in response. Zeta rubs the tears out of her eyes, stands up, then moves over to Beatrix, and joins in on the hug, which neither Beatrix nor Eustace object to.*

*Xan tentatively follows after Beatrix, also wanting to talk to Zeta and tell her the man who nearly killed her is dead. She pauses when she sees the group hug and is rather confused. She backs away a bit into the corner and sits down patiently, not wanting to intrude on whatever is going on, but still wanting to talk with Zeta*

*Mergoux pulls herself up into a sitting position and groans. She looks around at the devastation and sighs then goes to bar *

*John takes the slap, and doesn't object to it. He watches Beatrix walk out, and then surveys the scene. He puts things together pretty quickly, and looks over at the small crater left behind from Gordon's departure. He then limps back out of the kitchen, and starts walking past Sasha.*
Sasha: Who was he? Ziogen? I thought they-
John: I'll explain later, just keep the... just keep it safe. I have another fire to put out.
*Sasha tilts her head, and nods to John. John roams around for a bit, before finding Beatrix and party hugging. He watches from where Xan is, and wishes he had a drink.*

*Sasha follows after John, but is far enough away to not be noticeable.*

*The hug goes on for a little bit more, with hushed words being whispered between the three, before they finally break, and separate. Eustace limps back towards the forest, and Beatrix pulls Zeta out of earshot of everybody else. Zeta's eyes are red from crying, but she manages to hold it together while Beatrix talks.*
Beatrix: I'm not going to be so ignorant to blame you for his death, but if you had just told us- convinced us, instead of running... We would've come with you. And he wouldn't be dead now.
*Zeta can't bear to make eye-contact, so she drops her gaze to Beatrix's feet for a while before Beatrix lifts her chin and hugs her again.*
Beatrix: He might've tried to kill you, but he still loved you. I think we all still loved you even though we were trying to kill you.
Zeta: I know... I'm sorry...
*Beatrix breaks the hug again with a nod, and sets off towards Vaseraga's body, still holding his scythe close to her chest. She glares daggers at John as she passes, but doesn't speak a word.*

---

*Zeta hangs away from Xan for a little bit so she can rub her eyes a little bit, before she makes her way towards her, and weakly smiles.*
Zeta: I... I was filled in.

---

*Eustace is making his way towards their old camp in the forest.*

*Xan nods, but doesn't hold back her questions, for she is now insanely curious. She stands up and shuffles her feet awkwardly for a moment before looking at Zeta*
Xan: He tried to kill you... but he be your friend? How be that? Friends do not kill each other...
*She sighs sadly*
Xan: I think him bad... your enemy.. but he save my life, I am confused Zeta...

*Finnick start a idly levitating pieces of the kitchen around, somewhat putting them together like a puzzle, but he doesn't seem to care about it as he does so*

*Elewynn shakes her head and moves to block Jilial*
Elewynn: I will get him. You should rest.
*With that, she turns and heads towards where Horus was set down*

*Lecter slowly lifts his head up and stifles a grunt as he looks around, concussed and drowsy*

*John grabs Beatrix's shoulder to halt her for a moment, and slightly leans on it cause he is weak.*
John: I tried to stop him, and I failed. I'm sorry that Vaseraga fell to him, and if there is anything I could do to trade places with him I would.
*He lets go of her shoulder, and starts walking towards the bar.*
John: I Hope that you understand that.

---
*Sasha watches, and sees Beatrix give John a menacing glare. She sighs, and waits to see if anything happens.*

---
*Jillian comes back from her adventure in the woods lol*

*Lecter slowly stands up and grabs Karma from the floor*
Lecter: Damn shame.
*He staggers his way into the living room, either ignoring or oblivious to the splinters and debris covering and poking into his body*

*Finnick somewhat reassembles some of the kitchen, but mostly flooring or walls, because he can't do appliances, and the things he made are still dirty and hardly exactly what they used to be*

*Elewynn stops at Horus' body and looks down at him*
Elewynn: Loc Muinne.
*A faint light glows underneath Horus, and his body is replaced by a bush. Meanwhile, a bush near Horus' designated grave disappears and is replaced by the elder himself*

*Jilail stares at Horus's body as fresh tears roll her scaled cheeks to sizzle in the grass. She moves towards him weakly, ruined hands dragging useless over the ground as most of the propulsion comes from wriggling almost like a snake.*

*Elewynn heads back outside and sees Jilial crawling towards Horus*
Elewynn: Rest, you need it.
*Her voice is gentle, and with a wave of her hand, the dirt itself ripples, sending Horus to shift towards the grave, where the ground literally rushes to meet him (preventing him from just dropping like a rock). The elf wipes sweat from her brow, because Horus weighs a lot and she's not used to this type of magic*
Elewynn: I can help you bear this burden. But I know it won't be enough.

*Beatrix continues staring daggers at John for a little bit longer as he walks away, before her shoulders drop. She again bites her tongue, but still doesn't follow after him, wanting to go to Vaseraga's body to clean the blood off his remains and carry it into the forest.*

---

*Zeta attempts thinking of a good answer, but seeing as though how much her mind was racing, she found that feat impossible. She sighs and says the only thing she knows how to.*
Zeta: He was a soldier. Good soldiers follow orders, even if they don't want to. He was just doing as he was ordered, as was Eustace and Beatrix.

*John doesn't look back, just walks into the bar, and sits. He pours himself some whiskey, and quickly downs the glass.*
*Sasha walks in after him, and crosses her arms.*
Sasha: John... Who was that cyborg?
*John sighs, and starts pouring himself another glass.*
John: Gordon Gerko. Ex ceo of the Ziogen corporation...
*Sasha frowns, and pulls the full glass away before he can drink it.*
Sasha: And? Why does he want this? Why does everyone want this?
*John doesn't have a answer, and so he shrugs.*
John: I don't know.. it's special. Just protect it.
*He grabs the whiskey glass, and pulls it away from Sasha. Sasha just watches him for a moment, before walking out of the bar towards the kitchen.

----
*Jillian sits on the wall smoking outside, she spots Eustace, and puts out her cigarette.*
Jillian: Everyone alright?

*Lecter grunts*
Lecter: Will be.
*He starts pulling debris off/out of him whole gritting his teeth*
Lecter: Came way too close to dying. All because some mutant bitch.
*Mentally, he curses himself for how fucked up he got*

*Finnick shrugs*
Finnick: Could be better. Your food storage is empty.

*Beatrix gathers Vaseraga's body, which is now mostly clean of blood and covered with a black material she's covered him in, although she herself is covered head to toe in his blood, which is traumatizing for her to say the least. She carries his entire weight(less than half of what he originally weighed, seeing as though there's less than half of him remaining), and doesn't once complain. She carries him straight out of the Room, and starts walking towards the forest, fresh tears dripping from her eyes once more.*

*Dr looks at the ruins of the kitchen and wrecked fridge, units, wall, and damage done by acid, two bombs and throwing scythes etc etc.*

Anyone I can help round here?
That or a nearby place where there may be food?
This place needs supplies.

*Major limps over eventually and sighs seeing the beer supply destroyed*
Damn it... What do people have against beer.

*John silently drinks, and thinks about what happened in the last few hours. Also thinks about other things, and sighs with frustration.*

---
*Sasha walks into the kitchen, and notices Lecter.*
Sasha: You alright?
*She then nods to the doctor.*
Sasha: I'm fine, go check on Xan.

---
*Jillian trails after Beatrix, and kills her cigarette.*
Jillian: What happened?
*Looks at the corpse of Vase, and goes quiet for a time.*
Jillian: ...Do you need help?

*Dr nods and looks round for Xan, realising she probbly not in the main area. *

Il take a look. If anything like this place she probbly hurt. *sighs* this place is worst than the wasteland. I never thought I'd say that.

*Goes and takes a look outside the door*
Xan?
You about? Do you need medical attention?

...

*Major limps back to his room hurting too much to want to deal with the chaos of the room*

*Beatrix doesn't stop heaving Vaseraga's body, but she does respond. Tears still fall from her eyes, but she still speaks unhindered.*
Beatrix: Something came and killed him. Eustace and I are going to bury him the way he would want. There isn't much you can do to help.
*She says this in a very matter of fact tone, and doesn't really display much emotions in her words, although she continues crying.*
Beatrix: Not many saw him as a hero, but he saved them. The idiot. They didn't deserve saving.

*Jilial weeps miserably*
Jilial: He needs... last rites...

*Xan nods, understanding*
Xan: Soldiers follow orders yes... It be not fair... This be why I never bothered to join humankind...
*She looks confused and upset*
Xan: He save me... save others...
*The burn on her arm is momentarily forgotten as she rubs her eyes, which are glistening with unshed tears*
Xan: It be not fair... I think him Evil, but he turn out good... I wish I could say sorry...
*She looks over at the Doctor and nods, holding out her burned arm*
Xan: Burned... Red light burn me.
