Alexandria scowled at his surroundings. It would be just his luck to get sucked into a mirror of all things into this... foggy hell hole. By far one of the more... creepy places he'd been, though not the worst. He hadn't bothered to check if there was anything beyond the current room he was stuck in, and if he were quite honest with himself, he wasn't sure if he even wanted to. The best option when lost was to stay put wasn't it? Though could he really call himself lost?
He snorted quietly to himself, ignoring the thin layer of fog like smoke that seemed to ooze from the ceiling and walls. Once again, he was stuck, and needed saving. How typical of him.
"Great." Alex muttered, hunkering down in the corner. "Just ******** great."

It was... odd. She'd been starving when she passed in front of the mirror in the hallway, on her way to the kitchen, but here, in this space of gray and in between she felt nothing. No hunger, no exhaustion, not even power. It was as though she existed in a sort of hole in space time, and Andronicus spent the first few minutes of her captivity investigating the hell out of it.
"C'mon Alexandria, it's not that bad! I mean, yer stuck with me and not some homicidal officer of the Negaverse!" said the Knight of Uranus over her shoulder at the Mercurian hunkering in the corner. She sighed softly, mouth quirking into a little expression of concern, and wandered over to muse with his hair.
He worried too much.

"We just got sucked through a bunch of mirrors Andro. How is this 'not that bad'? Last I checked, we weren't the group that specialized in that sorta thing." Alex hissed, gaze following her as she moved about the space. When she came over to ruffle his hair, the Squire scowled again but did little to stop her. "Yeah, for now. Who knows how long before that becomes a reality. Though if you keep messing up my hair, I can't promise I won't be the homicidal one." Despite all his hissing and growling, the tension soon bled from the Squire. "So now what?"
a-disgruntled-dragon I broke the tag. How did i do that

"Sit here and wallow in our disaster and slowly die," said Andro completely dead pan in reaction to the Squire's tension. She flopped down next to him and crossed her arms.
"Or we take this as a moment to actually talk about what's going on with you, instead of you grumbling and scrunching up your shoulders at me," she said pointedly, as if this was a common issue between them. She was worried about him, in all honesty, worried where his anger and grumpiness would lead him.
Andronicus knew those roads, knew the endings of those paths. She didn't want that for him.
"I'm worried, 'Lex, I'm worried about you."

Alex shot his companion a glare at her dead pan response. "Andro, I'm serious! We don't know anything about this, or where we even are! What are we suppose to do?" How long would they be stuck there? Would they ever get out? Did people even know they were missing.
He huffed as he drew his knees to his chest and crossed his arms on top of them. "What's there to talk about. So I'm grumpy and miserable. So what? It's either this or being terrified of s**t going south. Take your pick." He muttered quietly. He didn't wanna talk about this. He knew where it would lead, and he hated that option. "You seem to be the only one who is An." The only one who hadn't up and disappeared on him anyway... Yet.
"What are you worried about Andro. Why?" He asked, biting the bullet.

"You," she said, poking at his chest. "You and your sour outlook on life, your pessimistic attitude." She knew he didn't want to talk about it, but if they didn't talk about it... Andro was worried where she'd next find him. In a bathtub? On a rope? In an alley in a pool of his own blood? With chaos running through his veins? As something far darker in chaos?
If he thought the Negaverse was his only option to his life, that was his choice and Andronicus would allow him it. But not at the expense of everything else.
"I know where this path leads, Lex, and I'm worried if we don't talk about it, you're going to end up with the Negaverse. Or worse," she said seriously. It was the worse option that worried her the most.

Alex snorted quietly. "And here I thought you absolutely loved my sour outlook on life and pessimistic attitude.." He shot back, with a slight tease... "I swear, sometimes it looks like you thrive off it."
The squire shrugged. "I've been part of the Negaverse before... remember? Whenever one came down with those dreams and nightmares, about a world where the Negaverse won... I was there. I died Andro. At my own hands, in front of my ex, who had corrupted. Or at least. I tried to die. My ex, for some bizarre a** reason, tried to save me. So some psychotic General Soverign tried to corrupt me in an attempt to save me. It worked.... But I was gone. I was some... thing. Half youma, half human. But my memories were gone. I barely recognized people. Those I did were fine... But anyone I didn't know, I attacked. No questions asked."
"I'm just tired An. I say it all the time but I don't do anything about it. I'm tired of being left behind by people I care about. People I love. I'm tired of this." He said, brandishing his arms to the strange area around him. "I'm tired of not knowing whats going to happen next, or if we'll even make it."
"I'm tired of putting myself in harms way for others, only for them to leave me."

"I remember... I remember what you became..." she said quietly. Andronicus sighed. She remembered him from that time, remembered the creature that took the place of Alexandria and who wasn't him anymore. It was around that time that she had turned rogue, had vanished into playing vigilante for the Dark Mirror and those she'd left behind upon corruption.
She herself wasn't any better.
Traitor, coward...
The Knight looked at him for a moment. "I'm still here... aren't I?" Her voice tried to be hopeful, to be comforting, but she wondered how hollow they sounded to him. How much the memories of the future and the abandonment he encountered now colored his outlook? "I don't thrive off your sour outlook... I just..."
Andronicus looked down at her hands and sighed again. "I don't know how to help you otherwise... I don't know how to help anyone, to be honest... "

"...I remember you... I think." Thinking back, he could only remember fragments of when he was a Half Youma. He sighed, trying to will the memories away. "I was so far gone then... I really acted like a cat then, you know. Like I would run around on all fours and nuzzle up against people I knew.. Hiss and claw at those I didn't. Just call me 'Meowxandria." He huffed, before leaning against her.
"You are... But for how long An? Everyone else has left me for better things... You will too." He snorted quietly, wrapping on of his arms around hers. "I'm teasing... I know you don't like it when I get upset like this." He murmured.
"I don't either honestly... I just kind of throw myself out there." And doing just that was exactly why he now had two arcing scars over his hip, and why he'd been seeded by a General Sovereign and then had his lifeless body kicked down a flight of stairs.
