How could he begin to explain... "I .. made him go away....I... think...." he answered before choking on his words. His shoulders shook a tad and he slowly shook his head slightly unable to find any more words. He made Ripper... go away. Like Third had said, he couldn't find the being in his mind any longer. It...w as a horrible relief. [/scrolly] | [atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;][atrb=height,27][cs=3] |

Inevitably, laughter won out and even though it hurt, Vengeance found her shoulders shaking with quiet, relieved laughter. Her first (as far as she knew) and only encounter with Ripper had been her last ... and the relief Vengeance felt at that moment knew no bounds. After a moment, her laughter ceased and Vengeance found herself grinning more or less like a Cheshire cat before breathing out quietly,"I ... I'm glad ... ,"she finally stated in a quiet voice as she leaned her head against Jack's again, not wanting to hurt him anymore then he probably already was,"I'm ... glad ... he's gone ... ."[/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |

Nerves screamed in protest, but muscles remained tight. What? However, as the laughter won, Jack managed to relax a little. He stared at her expression, and that now somehow caused his stomach to tense again. Stop doing that or we'll rip stitches Third snapped. He really didn't want to deal with the possibility of bleeding out. Jack sweat dropped but did his best to stop. As Vengeance spoke, he couldn't help but grin a little, but his face slowly fell into something more relaxed after. He was gone... but... a part of him wondered if it could really be forever.... He wanted it to be.. but.... that worried him..."He's the first to... have ever left.... and... I blame you," he stated managing a half chuckle that only stressed more stitches and left Third rambling on about doctor bills for more stitching being put in.

Of course Vengeance knew all too well that she was taking a chance ... risking getting hurt but then again ... what was that to her.

Humming slightly, he was about to speak when Vengeance continued to speak. No more secrets? That-....but.... Heh... can you even pull that off, BJ? Third asked dryly. ;3; She's so cool though... Cas answered back. Following that, there was silence... a void where Ripper's comment should have gone. Third coughed a little. "I..." he started before falling quiet. Reaching up an arm, he slowly set a hand on Vengeance's cheek brushing down it slightly. "Will not keep secrets..." he finished. It was a harder statement than he thought it would be... and somehow it left him feeling raw... almost afraid... but....

Hearing the confirmation in his words brought a feeling of elation to Vengeance ... along with something else; something she had never felt before ... or at least thought she hadn't. Eyes sparkling with what could only be described as joy; the relief she felt was something else ... relief that there would be no more Rippers that she needed to be aware of ... at least for now. Along with this though, was fear ... fear that when Jack knew who she really was ... learned what she had kept hidden all these years ... that she would lose him ... and with him the only thing that had ever really made her feel ... what was it. Normal ... loved ... safe ... ? Jack had been ... no he was all those things and so much more to her ... something Vengeance's words couldn't describe right then.
"Thank you ... ,"Vengeance whispered, closing her eyes briefly before continuing,"I- .... it's your turn ... if you ... have questions ... you can ask ... ,"she continued, her voice catching slightly even as she said the words. A heavy feeling crept into Vengeance's chest after the words had left her mouth and part of her was frightened of what the man would ask ... but she ... she wanted him to know. Now at least Jack would know that she spoke the truth ... even if the truth was painful for her to tell.

As Vengeance reversed the role, Jack was quiet for a moment. I wonder why her name is 'Vengeance' Third's logical question vibrated in Jack's mind. I wonder if she's even ever did it :B was all Cas stated. I wonder if she knows cool ninja moves! Ninjack, who rarely came out with any forceful voice called. I wonder what happened to her eye... Jacklynn commented dryly. I wonder if she's ever danced Thriller :B MJ came out of nowhere to ask rather quickly. However, the question that came to Jack's lips were none of these. ".....Did... you ever lose someone special to you...?" he mumbled. It wasn't the most direct answer, but that was what had come.

"Yes ... several actually ... ,"Vengeance replied quietly before breathing in quietly and continuing,"My mother ... died when Lily -... my sister was born. Then ... my dad ... he changed ... started to become mean ... . It was all I could do to protect Lily and then ... on her birthday ... I- ... I had left Lucifer to take care of ... her .... so I could get a cake and ... . And when I came home ... Dad ... Dad was there ... standing over Lily ... ." Vengeance continued, her voice breaking as she remembered that horrific day ... pausing to take a breath and at least attempt to regain control of herself, Vengeance continued, albeit a little quieter and slower than before,"Lily ... she wasn't moving ... and ... he just stood there ... watching her lay in a pool of her blood ... with a ... a knife in his hand,"Vengeance continued, her voice sounding more pained as she continued to speak,"I saw red ... and ... the next thing I knew ... Dad was ... he was ... dead ... ." This said, Vengeance fell silent as the tears she had managed to fight back until now streamed down her face and she leaned against Jack a little, not enough that it would hurt him but enough that Vengeance felt at least somewhat comforted by the contact ... if not by much.[/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |

As she started to speak, Jack took it in as best he could... When Vengeance had stopped, his eyes had risen again to stare at her only to find she had continued. The sight of the tears made him wish to have retracted it all, and yet knowing that information.... Sucking in some air, he slid his hand sideways slowly across Vengeance's face gently brushing the tears away. His eyes dropped again, and he found himself reminded of what-... had happened to Atticus...and the maids....... and how he had thought he had lost Cassi that day....Thankfully, she'd run away... until he'd managed to stop... Thankfully she hadn't died.... Breathing in quietly, he closed his eyes. "I'm... sorry," he mumbled softly.

I- ... I found her ... she- ... my sister ... she's all right. Lily ... is alive ... ,"she continued, though some measure of pain still laced her voice. Taking a breath, Vengeance opened her eyes again, looking at Jack again with a something of a smile on her face though it was clear that she was still upset over the whole thing. That day had haunted her for years ... it was almost a relief to know that her sister was alive ... but even so, it brought with it a measure of guilt. How had she been so sure that Lily had been dead ... at the time the evidence was right in front of her eyes and ... seeing the baby lying there, pale as a ghost ... that had been evidence enough, at least in her own mind. Yes her sister was alive ... but for all that it meant to said sister Vengeance might as well of been better off to believe her dead still.[/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |

She'd... found her sister..... Why hand't he found his yet? Cassi....... Putting the thought away as he felt an eye on him, he looked at Vengeance and stared for a moment. The expression... he hadn't been expecting. He would have thought she wore something lighter, yet ever still. "........But why are you still sad then?" he frowned slightly. If he had finally found Cassandra, he would have been more happy. He was sure of that. He was so positive that he would just be able to embrace her again and tell her that she was coming home with him... It'd be perfect.

"You... sounded like you were a kid at the time though...." he answered back flatly before drawing in a breath. "I've done worse." This... was true. He'd killed Atticus... taken away the father he knew Cassi loved...He'd killed Tom... another person Cassi had loved. He'd taken them away from her, and yet, for a while.... she'd... stayed with him. But he knew she couldn't have stood it after what had happened....They hadn't been children any longer at the time he had taken his hate out on that man that dared touch his sister.

[cs=2][atrb=background,http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/Heart-of-Thorns/VC/ventable2.png,bTable][atrb=style,width:425px;height:115px;border:0 black none;][atrb=style,border:5 maroon ridge,bTable] | [atrb=style,width:20;border:0 black none] | [atrb=style,height:255;width:200;border:0 black none;color:#333333;][scrolly:h(255),w(196),sy,as(padding-right:6px;)]Vengeance was about to respond to what Jack had said when a couple nurses came in the room at that time to see how their patients were doing. Upon seeing Vengeance out of bed and sitting on the wheelchair's arm, one nurse dropped her clipboard which landed on the floor with a loud CLATTER. For a moment they just stared at the couple before the braver of the two nurses finally spoke up,"What are you doing out of bed! You need to rest not- not ... THIS!" she sputtered, walking over to where Vengeance was before putting a hand on her hip, pointing a finger at Vengeance as she did so,"You almost died young lady! So now you best rest and get better or you'll only be here all the longer!"
Vengeance looked up when she heard the clipboard fall, startled until she saw what the noise had come from. Upon hearing the nurse scolding her, Vengeance frowned, obviously not caring about what was 'better for her' at the moment. She had Jack with her and right then that was all Vengeance wanted or needed ... if the nurse would just leave her alone everyone would be better off. At least that was Vengeance's logic at this point in time, of course she was more irritated at the nurses for interrupting her and Jack so the resulting death glare she gave the nurses upon hearing the conclusion of the lecture was more than likely stemming from her irrational irritation than anything else. "I wanted-,"Vengeance began only to be cut off by the same nurse that had been lecturing her before. "I don't care what you want, I care about what's best for you. And right now that is to be in bed resting."
The resulting glare that Vengeance gave the woman after hearing that would certainly have made braver men back down but evidently not this nurse. She was a woman on a mission after all and her concern for her patient's well being was more important than what the stubborn ox-headed woman in front of her could do. This was her hospital and what ever she said was the law as far as she was concerned. Suddenly turning to look at Jack, the nurse pointed her finger at him just mere inches from in front of his face,"And you. What in the name of high heaven are you doing out of your room much less out of bed!? Land sakes alive you are in far worse condition than she is! What could have possibly possessed you to mosey on in here like you owned the place!? When I find those good for nothing doctors of yours I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind! What in blazes is going on in here anyway, and why in heaven's name is she practically in your lap?! Land sakes alive everyone has gone mad!"she said in a none-too-pleased tone.
Vengeance remained silent throughout the entire lecture though she may or may not have growled at the nurse for having suggested Jack was a fool, ironic as this may be. Of course whatever Vengeance may or may not have done was drowned out by the nurse's shouting as she wagged her finger in front of Jack's face. Vengeance thought briefly about biting that annoying finger but didn't make a move towards the nurse though her unwavering gaze looked none too friendly to say the least of things.
The other nurse meanwhile was watching this all take place with a rather dumbfounded look on her face. She truly was concerned about what was going on as had been evident by her initial reaction but wasn't about to object to what the other nurse was saying. She herself had only been working at the hospital for a few months and was still more or less learning the ropes while the nurse that was now yelling at the couple (we shall call her Sally May), had been at the hospital for at least 5 years ... perhaps more. At any rate, the nurse knew better than to dispute Sally as whoever did so seemed to end up missing shortly afterwards or just end up going insane for some unexplained reason other than the constant muttering of Sally May's name. No ... the nurse thought better of saying anything and though she had picked up her clipboard by now, hadn't made one move otherwise.[/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |

Though the situation called for more of a bleak expression, Jack couldn't help but smirk. ......This woman is starting to piss me off.... Third grumbled slightly. ...I think she just needs a massage~ Cas chuckled to himself. BJ himself was now chuckling slightly in turn. This lady.... heh. Rather than be upset, he was actually finding himself amused.
"Don'tcha mean 'Heaven's sakes'?" was his first taunt. "And I'm fiiiiiine. These stitches are holding," he chuckled. "Just need something sweet to eat, and all'll be good." After this was over, his face fell a bit and looked more somber. "I just wanted to make sure my girlfriend was alright... I already lost a good friend... the last thing I wanted was to find out she'd died...." Jack wasn't looking at anything anymore, and his eyes had glazed over slightly.

[cs=2][atrb=background,http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/Heart-of-Thorns/VC/ventable2.png,bTable][atrb=style,width:425px;height:115px;border:0 black none;][atrb=style,border:5 maroon ridge,bTable] | [atrb=style,width:20;border:0 black none] | [atrb=style,height:255;width:200;border:0 black none;color:#333333;][scrolly:h(255),w(196),sy,as(padding-right:6px;)]Vengeance remained silent when Jack spoke, though a smile did come to her features as Jack made fun of the nurse that had scolded them both.
Sally May though was none too pleased,"Don't you back sass me boy! And neither of you are getting anything sweet now of all times! Both of yal went through some major surgery an the last thing you need to be doing is sitting here goofing the time away like this is Paradise Island or some other resort! Now, both of yal are gettin' back in yer beds and staying there even if I have ta put yal under surveillance."
When Vengeance heard what Jack said next she stopped and looked at him ... he had ... lost someone. In all the chaos Vengeance hadn't once asked why Jack had been at the district in the first place and was now trying to remember who it could possibly- ... Logan. That's right ... Ripper had said something about losing Logan ... . Breathing in rather quietly, Vengeance wrapped an arm around Jack, being careful so as not to hurt him.
It was at this point the other nurse interjected,"Umm ... Sally ... perhaps we could put them in the same room?"she suggested hesitantly, glancing back at Vengeance as she did so. The nurse had been one of the ones to witness Vengeance's rather ... wild state of mind when she had initially woken up and wasn't so keen on a repeat performance. Besides, seeing the two of them together like this ... it didn't seem right to separate them ... not after what they'd gone through already.
Sally May whirled around when she heard the other nurse speak up, though she had not been a witness to Vengeance's awakening, she had heard the screams well enough. "Why I nev-,"she began before hearing Jack speak up again, causing her to turn around more than ready to give him another tongue lashing ... that was until she heard what Jack said. Well now that had shut her up ... and Sally May did still have a heart after all, even if it was frozen over from years of seeing things that would have horrified most others. What Sally May saw before now though melted her heart just a little until she finally sighed and turned back around,"Very well then ... , see to it." Hearing Sally May agree, the nurse beamed and smiled at Vengeance and Jack before hustling out of the room to arrange just that.
As soon as the other nurse had left, Sally May turned around to look at Vengeance and Jack,"Now that I'm sure I made both yal lives happier I suggest you do as I say and get back into bed before you strain yerselves any more," she stated before promptly picking Vengeance, "Honey yer lighter than a feather ... and I know that ain't just from what happened these past few days,"she commented before placing Vengeance back on the bed and turning to Jack. "Yal should make sure she eats right, I can feel near every bone in that girl's body. Now yer doc should be along any minute and then yer going right back into bed," Sally May said before checking a few things over with Vengeance then walking out of the room.
Vengeance was surprised and none too pleased that Sally had picked her up. She hadn't wanted to leave Jack but then again, the knowledge that Jack was staying was welcome indeed. Hearing Sally comment about her weight though brought a rush of warmth to Vengeance's features knowing all too well it was true ... before this she had been rather absorbed in a project that she had forgotten to eat. How long had that been now ... possibly three ... maybe four days ... and that had been before she had been admitted to the hospital ... .[/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |

After this statement, he found an arm around himself but simply didn't move. Damn it Logan.... why did you die.... why didn't you just..... Jack shut his eyes and silenced his thoughts. He wasn't going to blame Logan for dying.....It was sometime in this short moment that Jack began to feel the actual pain in his body again. Damn he needed more meds. His side ached more than he realized until he found himself focusing on it. It's not our fault, you know.... Third sighed, but BJ ignored him.
His eyes snapped open again when he found that Vengeance had been taken from him, and for a few seconds, he leered only to relax again. When the nurse left, Jack looked towards Vengeance and slowly shook his head before setting both arms on both of the arms of the chair and shoving his body upwards. His ribs and side screamed, but he continued to shove himself up before weakly standing up. The popping sound of a few outer stitches coming lose could be heard, but there was no bleeding at least for now. Standing wobbly for a few seconds, Jack took a few steps forwards before seizing the bed for support and slowly leaning on the bed. "Hey scoot over..." he mumbled before swinging his leg up and almost flopping on the bed.

Eyes growing wide, Vengeance shook her head,"No Jack you shouldn't-,"she began before he had managed to stand up fully and was now asking her to scoot over. Blinking, Vengeance did as he said and watched as Jack basically flopped into the bed which, though not completely uncomfortable, was clearly not made for two. Turning a little so that she was facing him while still remain off of her shoulder which by this time was beginning to burn, Vengeance studied him for a moment,"You ... shouldn't have done that ... ,"she said, eyes flickering to Jack's side for a moment, worried that he had done more harm then good. Vengeance didn't care that the nurses might walk in at any moment and realize where Jack was ... it was more her concern for him that made her say what she had. Even still ... he was so close and Vengeance found herself oddly comforted by the action as she scooted closer to him ever so slightly. "But ... I'm glad you did ... ,"Vengeance said after a moment, smiling at Jack as she spoke. [/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |

Flopping on the bed had hurt more than he would admit. However, as Vengeance's words came to his eyes, Jack just looked sideways and smirked. "Well too bad since I already did," he mumbled not roughly. However, the second statement was enough to make him chuckle a bit-- Ouch...er...heh.... "Mmmmm I still say she should have brought us something sweet," he hummed lightly before shaking his head before looking at Vengeance. "Your bed's much more comfortable than the wheelchair, by the way," he half grinned wryly. Reaching sideways as best he could without hurting either of them, he simply pulled her closer. "Yep, more comfortable..." Sighing softly, Jack closed his eyes.
And once again, his mind floated back to Logan... He couldn't leave this alone. He simply couldn't, and Jack didn't know why. Biting his lip, he had to fight the urge to groan again. Who the hell thought it was a fucking good idea to blow up buildings in the largest city in Era? A frown settled on Jack's features, and he couldn't wipe it away...

Ah yes a chocolate shake did sound good right about now but then with her sweet tooth anything did ... and considering she hadn't eaten anything for days ... well anything sweet would be nice. Hearing Jack say how much more comfortable her bed was caused Vengeance to laugh slightly until she felt Jack's arm around her and snuggled closer to him, not feeling at all awkward or questioning every little action for once. Vengeance was too tired to try and explain every single thing away with logic ... or at least part of her was while the other part was quite effectively drowned out by fatigue and medication and thus was given no thought whatsoever. Vengeance lay there next to Jack as he closed his eyes and felt an unexplained joy at just seeing him alive and most of all with her. Vengeance was just about to close her own eyes and attempt to rest considering her own eyelids were beginning to feel like lead when she saw Jack frown,"Jack ... ?,"she whispered, concern in her eyes,"Jack ... what's wrong ... ?"
Somehow the words themselves didn't seem like enough ... or at least in Vengeance's mind they didn't, but then this thinking could have been brought on by the drugs that were now in her system. Nevertheless, Vengeance couldn't shake the thought and thus leaned in closer, kissing Jack briefly on the lips before pulling away rather slowly, gazing intently into Jack's eyes as if they contained the answers she sought.[/scrolly] | [atrb=style,border:0 black none;] | [cs=3][atrb=style,height:25;border:0 black none;] |
