She felt her eyes staring up into his ... they were still Riley's eyes ... they still looked like his eyes, but there was no recognition in them, he couldn't remember her, he didn't see her ... Cat, all he saw was a girl standing in front of her. She could feel tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, he was gone, she'd lost him. She couldn't look away though, even when his eyes moved from hers to look around the room.
'Riley, this is Cat, do you remember her.' His eyes looked back at hers, but there was something so blank about them, she didn't need him to say it, she coudn't look at him anymore, her eyes fell from him to look down at the ground.
'You're name is Riley Finn, you and your partner are captives of the Initiative, you follow her orders, she'll get you out of here safely.' It was a lie ... they weren't partners, why did almost the first thing he heard have to be a lie, well they had been partners in a sense of the word but not the same sense Forrest was talking about. They wern't going out anymore were they? but then they hadn't actually split up, he just couldn't remember that they were, so that meant they wern't right? She should give him his dog tag back, shouldn't she? since they weren't dating anymore. It hurt though, it hurt to much to think about that, she'd get him back to Xavier's somehow and then she'd try and figure out this whole mess.
'You ready, we're moving out now' She didn't look back at Riley but she knew he wasn't following, she didn't want to look a thim, it hurt to see him.
'Come on lets get going.' She said, hearing him start after her.

Re: Back to the cells
They all started leaving.. Riley wanted to leave as well, but was he allowed to leave with them? No one was giving him any orders.. he didn't know what to do, he wanted her to tell him something.. anything.. even if it was for him to stay put, as long as it was an order so he knew he was following her command.
'Come on lets get going.' His legs moved after her before it clicked she had given him an order, he had the feeling she was going to ignore him as best she could.. He didn't like that, he couldn't remember, he couldn't remember a single thing and now the one person who was supposed take him to safty was going to ignore him because they had blocked away his memories..
Both Graham and Spike looked over towards Riley and Catherine as they moved moved from the back room, they knew instantly that Riley was gone once again.. Spike's eyes hovered over Catherine for a moment, he's never felt sorry for someone like this before.. Spike looked away, the vampires gaze focusing on the door, Riley tried to stay as close to Catherine as possible.. he didn't like all these strangers.. No one was introducing him to anyone either, he was so lost, all he knew was Cat's name, and he was sure Cat wasn't her whole name. She was his partner? That registered to Riley now as if meaning she was his superior officer perhaps.. if she was giving him orders, or they where equal partners only she was taking leadership because of his condition.
There was a sudden hiss of the doors opening, the figure of a woman holding up a weapon clicking only an instant after a loud shot was fire, the bullet striking hard against Cat's chest, unaware of her protective armour. Guards moved into the room, most instantly moving towards the other agents, plus Spike and Loki. Riley stared down at Catherine in a panic, was she dead, had that woman killed the only person he knew the name of? Riley's eyes snapped over towards Joan, his hand reaching out and grabbing hold of her weapon, his fists mimicking Catherine's earlier attack on her, striking her hard in the face. But with a quick spin of her body, her hand whipping about and striking him acros the jaw, her leg lashing out and slamming into his torso, kicking back the taller agent with absolut ease. Joan watched as Riley stumbled backwards, falling to the ground as he folded his arms over his chest, the armour plate not stopping her impact from having winded him.
There was a yell as Spike grabbed hold of one of the guards by the front, throwing the human clear across the room and hard into the furthest wall. The vampire had to admit.. it felt nce being able to help out, he always did hate being so helpless.. well this puppies muzzle just came off, and he wasn't going to hold back if they needed his help.
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
Re: Back to the cells
She felt the breath being knocked out of her, her heart jolted and skipped a beat in her chest ... it still hurt even though she was wearing the vest, still felt like she'd been punched in the heart. She found herself on her back, her eyes snapping open a moment later, as she rolled over onto her side, pulling herself back onto her feet.
Cat saw Joan catch him a blow with her legs that took him off his feet, she felt a strong desire to hurt Joan flood through her, how dare she hurt Riley like that. She felt her feet moving, could feel the blood pounding through her head, beating fiercley in her ears, everything was slowing down again now.
She had to hurt Joan, everythign in her was screaming out at the girl, she didn't deserve to be allowed to treat people like this, it wasn't right.
She half registered Spike throwing someone against a wall but she as focused on the part demon she was moving towards. Her fists clentched as she advanced upon the woman, her hands raised slightly so she could protect her face if she needed to.
ooc: Blerg sorry I wanted to put more but I've run out of time
Don't frown, you never know who might be falling in love with your smile
Re: Back to the cells
When Cat had stood to her feet, Riley was sure he has never felt so much relief in his life, even if she was going to ignore him, right now it seemed she was all he had. He tried to stand, but it hurt so much, especially this nagging headache from the unseen wound where the faulty implant had been replaced. But none of that mattered, he had to stand, he had to fight, and he had to help protect Cat, who was trying to help protect him.
Joan's movements where still slugish from the drug that had been shot at her, but she was not best pleased to have woken and found them gone. Her light eyes glared at Catherine as she moved towards her, did the girl honestly assume she could take on Joan!? With a swelling of hatred within her, Joan raised her hands, unknown to her just how fast Catherine was, Joan was quick, but no where near as fast and agile as Catherine. One of her hands lashed out towrds Catherine, althought going as fast as she could, putting all her strength into this punch, the sheer force easily able to break the nose..
There was a pause in Riley's attack, his eyes glancing around, who who the good guys and who where the bad guys? One of the agents lunged at Riley, their fist slamming into the breast plate and causing them to yell painfully. Alright, obviously the bad guys where the ones trying to fight him, Riley stared down at the shorter man, who was whimpering slightly as he grasped his possibly broken hand. Raising his own hand, Riley stared at the armoured gloves he wore, the grip in his fist tightened more, but what was the point in fighting this guy? He was already wounded and standing down, in his hesitation, the agent seemed to take the chance to withdraw his weapon, obviously all the guards where without implants, but the insant Riley saw the flash of metal, the back of his hand slammed into the gun, throwing it from his grasp, his other first striking the mans face with a feirce impact.
"Sorry.." Riley mumbled almost guiltily since it wasn't really something that his personality enjoyed seeing.. someone suffering at his own hands. But at the same time, the fresh new drugs in his systems swirled around within him, so part of him really did want to fight, and he wanted to defeat them no matter how much it would hurt them.. he didn't like that feeling..
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
Re: Back to the cells
Cat could feel anger towards this older woman rushing through her, pounding in her veins, how dare Joan do tis to her ... they were so close to escaping and now all her hopes had been dashed. But worse than that she had taken Riley away from her, it was hard for her to believe looking at him now that he had ever felt anything for him, that he had lain with her the night before.
Her eyes locked with Joan's, her face furious with this woman who'd taken Riley away from her and imprisoned her in this underground tomb away from the light.
She saw Joan's fist lash out towards her face, she was quick, but Cat still managed to dodge backwards out of the way, Joan had thrown so much weight behind the punch she stumbled and had to fight to regain her balance. Cat took advantage of the fact that she had exposed her side to hit out at Cat, sweeping her leg up and round, feeling a sharp pain in her thigh as her booted foot came into contact with Joan's side. She backed off quickly, her eyes watching the woman in front of her.
Joan wasn't the first person she'd fought and she probably wouldn't be the last, she could feel her thigh protesting, she must have pulled a muscle or something she decided as she waitied for Joan to make the next move.
Don't frown, you never know who might be falling in love with your smile
Re: Back to the cells
There was a muffled yell that Joan struggled to keep quiet, her eyes glaring at Cat after suffering the impact of her foot, Joan refused to allow the lingering effects of the drug to dare ruin her chance of defeating this girl. It was hard to believe what was going on, Riley just opens his eyes and suddenly he's fighting for his freedom against armed men..
Joan didn't hesitate to withdraw the device she was seeming to use rather often and without care of the pain it was causing, her finger activating the device and instantly yells from Graham and Riley screamed out as they fell to their knees, grasping their heads in agony. Spike and Forrest, as well as Nick and Loki, had to defend the fallen agents since the guards didn't have implants that shocked them.
The device was hidden away within her pocket before she continued to fight Catherine, a more smugly look upon her face, the constant yells of pain not at all bothering her. Let's see how she does on her own, without her little soldiers backing her up, she wants to save them, she was going to have to defeat Joan!
"Cat!!" Riley wasn't sure if he's ever been this scared before, but there was a sudden agonizingly strong burst of pain in his head and he had no idea why. All the fallen agents seemed to curl painfully to the ground, Forrest desperately trying to stop any guards from harming Graham while he was down. Riley wasn't to know this.. but that's the first time he's ever called Catherine by her nickname, since he didn't know her whole name 'Catherine' wasn't really something that jumped out of him when he wanted to call for her.
"You should have just walked out when you had the chance." Joan scolded her angrily, not able to heal herself just yet since she wanted to focus on fighting the younger girl, her hand refused to rest over her wounded side. Joan's leg lashed forward towards Catherine's torso, the drugs and anger clouding her combat tactics. She didn't care about anything right now.. she just wanted to hurt the girl in front of her.
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
Re: Back to the cells'Cat!!' Her eyes flicked towards Riley, everything in her screamed out to go to him, to hold him until his pain went away, but it wouldn't, the only way she could help him was to defeat Joan. She looked back over at Joan almost too late to dodge to the side as the woman lifted her leg to kick her, she could feel a deep seated hatred for the woman building up inside her.
'Stop it Joan!' She snarled angrily. 'Stop torturing them ... let us go.' But her words seemed to fall upon deaf ears. Joan seemed to be getting angrier just for the fact that Cat kept avoiding her.
Cat knew they were running out of time, there was a video camera in the top corner of the room and at any second reinforcements could come running through that closed door. She moved for wards careful to keep herself between Riley and Joan, she wouldn't put anything past Joan and no one was hurting Riley while she was there.
She feigned as if to move to one side of Joan but at the last minute dodged in lashing out at Joan's face with a clenched fist. The way she fought was crude to say the least but it was effective, she relied mainly upon her instincts, trying to sense what her opponents was about to do before she did it. Once at Xaviers she would be taught how to fight properly but at the moment she had to rely upon a handful of self defense lessons and her own experienced. She'd found herself face down on the ground in more than one fight, back in her first few fights, it was there that she'd realized she didn't have the strength to fight someone at close quarters. Instead she had to use her speed to dodge in and out, waiting for an opening in her her adversary's shields.

Re: Back to the cells
Why wasn't she responding to him, didn't she understand he was hurting, didn't she realize he needed her to tell him why he was hurting.. she said everything would be alright. It was hard, he wasn't sure if he should be angry or not, he was scared, maybe too scared just now to be strong enough to be angry about anything..
Meanwhile Joan was already suffering from a bloody lip, the soft flesh inside her mouth cutting against her tooth after Cat's newest assault. Joan's fists trembled in a boiling rage, more because the girl was managing to land punches on her then from pain.
It was hard to remember how he ended up on his back, but Riley now realized he was staring up at the bright ceiling of the cell rooms. They didn't seem familiar.. why couldn't he remember anything, why was everything so hard to understand.. where was he, and why was everyone fighting? Maybe he had done something terrible.. something very wrong and he was punished by having his memories erased, what if he never remembers who he was? He wasn't even sure of his last name.. wait no.. that guy had told him.. Riley.. Finn. He was Riley Finn.. laying in agony on the ground, staring up at a ceiling.. no idea why he's here.. or who he is.. or who anyone around him was.. he was afraid of all this and no one was telling him what was going on!
Joan yelled angrily at Catherine, the back of her hand trying to strike out towards Cat's face, her fists tightly clenched still as she moved in to attack, slightly unsteady on her legs from the drowsing drug she had just recently been shot with.
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
Re: Back to the cells
She looked at the blood trickling down from Joan's lip with a kind of smug satisfaction knowing the next day her lip would swell up and knowing that it must be hurting her.
Her eyes wandered for a second over towards the figure of her ex-boyfriend, taking her gaze off Joan for a moment. She just wanted to get him away from here so she couldn't start repairing the damage they had done to him ... if it were possible to do so.
The next thing she felt was something hard striking her right cheek, her head snapping to the side, she lost her footing, feeling her head crack hard against the white floor. She struggled to lift herself onto one elbow, letting out a gasp of pain at the same time, lifting her hand to her cheek, her eyes flying uptowards Joan. Cat coudn't remember ever being hit by someone so hard, it flet like she'd been smacked in the cheek with an iron bar rather than the back of a fist.
She felt Joan loom over her, Cat didn't wait to find out what she was planning to do to her, She kicked out at Joan's knees, feeling her legs come into contact with something, at the same time rolling to her feet and backing away from Joan, at the same time making sure she kept Riley behind her.
Don't frown, you never know who might be falling in love with your smile
Re: Back to the cells
It was only flashes, pleased that she had hit Catherine, then a gasp of pain as her knee screamed in pain, her body staggering back before she fell painfully to the ground. Joan's hands grasped her knee firmly, her teeth clentched tightly shut, a shiver of pain rushing through her body. Joan's hand was suddenly a blur of movement, her hand now holding a silver hand gun firmly in her grip.
Spike's loud animalistic roar startled Joan, her aim shifting from Catherine over to the vampire, her trigger finger squeezing down tightly and the bullet speeding towards the undead creature. Spike was more startled then anything, his eyes glancing down at the fresh wound almost in the center of his chest. One thing registered to the vampire.. she just ruined his new shirt.. his yellow eyes looked back over towards Joan dangerously, but his attention was quickly shifted towards Catherine who had - in Spike's mind - more rights in fighting Joan then he did.. even if she did rape him..
A clicking sound signalled Joan's weapon being empty, she hastily tried to reload it, her hands slightly shaking from the agony swimming through her knee. Riley's head had turned to watch Catherine, his legs shifting positions constently from the pain, as if perhaps there was a way to lay that might stop the pain.
Spike wasn't sure what to do now, all the other guards where delt with, laying out cold on the ground, they all where ready to fight Joan if Cat wanted their help.. but Spike had the feeling she wanted to deal with the part demon on her own.. She had to hurry though.. Graham and Riley where in agony.. Spike's hand pressed over his chest wound, giving a cough as his other hand passed over his mouth.
She saw Spike stagger back, it was like being back in Lost Angles, only back then it had been her that had shot him, she looked away biting down hard on her lip. The sound of the empty click of the gun brought her eyes speeding back to Joan.
It seemed that the woman couldn't stand anymore which was fine by Cat, her own hip was hurting but she wouldn't let Joan see she was hurt, she couldn't show the woman any weakness. She didn't want her to know she was in pain, without removing her eyes once from Joan's she walked over to her, there was something very dertermined in each step.
She streatched out angrily and grabbed hold of the gun, wrentcing backwards and down forcing Joan to let go of the weapon before Cat broke her wrist with the force of the movement. At the same time she pulled the small device that was torturing her friend's from Joan's pocket, she glared at it and then at Joan, dropping it to the floor. With a kind of grim satisfaction she raised her booted foot and brought it down hard on the delicate device, shattering it so that bits rolled away over the floor.
'Your out numbered so lie still ... Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you.' Cat said, her breath hissing from between her lips. Her voice dropped a few notes. 'You've already tried to kill me, tortured me and taken everything away from me that I care about.' It took more strength than she knew she posessed not to turn around and look at Riley as she spoke those last words. She waited for the girl's answer, the gun now in her left hand, her right fist still clentched into a fist

Re: Back to the cells
The feel of the pain dying away from within his mind caused Riley to let out a soft gasp of relief, but he was still rather panicky about the whole situation. Both he and Graham struggled to sit up on their knees, both still gently holding their heads within their hands.
'Your out numbered so lie still ... Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you.' Joan glared at Catherine, how DARE this girl actually defeat her like this.. she looked over towards Spike who had crouched down and growled at her.
'You've already tried to kill me, tortured me and taken everything away from me that I care about.' But that's when it struck Joan.. after all this.. she has won, hasn't she? Her eyes flickered over towards Riley, the smug look reappearing in her eyes and the gentle curve of her lips.
"Why don't you pull the trigger.. show him what you're really able to do, he think's you're so special, let him see how special you are.. kill me, make him proud." The arrogance and hint of sarcasm annoyed Spike, and even Forrest who was helping Graham to his feet. Riley wasn't sure what was being said, he understood everything, but he didn't get what any of it really meant.. was Cat really going to shoot that other girl? His eyes pulled away from the palms of his hnds and looked up at Catherine, it hurt.. just a dull lingering pain that was fading away slowly..
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
Re: Back to the cells
Cat didn't like the expression that was creeping over Joan's face, she opened her mouth and Cat knew she wasn't going to like what the girl was going to have to say for herself. Her dark eyes burnt down towards the girl who was still half lying upon the floor.
Why don't you pull the trigger.. show him what you're really able to do, he think's you're so special, let him see how special you are.. kill me, make him proud.' Cat's eyes instantly flicked over to Spike then closed for a second ... she'd been there, she'd done that and she didn't want to do that ever again.
She reached down angrily, her hands grabbing hold of Joan's front, using all her strength to half drag the woman to her feet, trying not to put too much pressure on her hip as she did so.
'I'm not going to kill you.' Cat said angrily, she was half out of breath now. 'Because I'm not like you.'
She took a step forwards and shoved Joan hard, watching the woman reeling backwards with her own look of satisfaction upon her face. Her hand streatched out, her fingers pressing a red button on the wall, watching as the door slid across sealing Joan in the cell, at the same time letting the gun slip from her hand, falling to the floor with a clatter that echoed aroudn the room.
Don't frown, you never know who might be falling in love with your smile
Re: Back to the cells
It was amazing.. or so Riley thought as he watched her, Cat wasn't as tall as Joan, and Joan had winded him in one kick, yet Cat, almost half his size, had managed to defeat her.. to lock her away where she couldn't harm them any more. Riley forced himself onto his slightly unsteady feet, his legs momrntarily like jelly before he found the strength to walk. He hovered nervously behind Catherine, his eyes searching Spike's vampiric features before looking over towards Joan.
"That was amazing.. you where amazing.. that was amazing." He placed his hand on the side of his head for a moment, still overwhelmed at Cat's accomplishment of defeating the girl that had so easily overpowered him. He stared at Joan before pulling his hand away from his head, half expecting blood gashing out of a deep wound from the sudden burst of pain he had suffered earlier.
"How did she do that.. make us hurt like that.. it really hurt.." He sounded confused, glancing back down at Spike, something eerie about seeing a man with a bullet wound to the chest yet not seeming to feel very effected by it. Riley was very sure he never wanted to feel that kind of pain again, he shook his head slightly, wanting to shoo away the pain, his eyes looking down at Catherine.
"...What's wrong with me.. why can't I remember things, what did they do to me?" He looked away from her, his eyes quickly moving from one face to another, he didn't like that there where people trying to apparently help him, and yet he had no idea who they are. Forrest and Graham moved towards the exit of the cell room, the door hissing open as they looked back towards Cat, then stepped outside to make sure no one else was coming.
".. Why isn't any one talking to me.. what did I do wrong?" He was misunderstanding the silence his friends had taken, he didn't realize how upset they where about him losing his memories again. He didn't understand they weren't sure what to tell him, they didn't want to scare him more then he already was.. what could they say? Joan keeps stealing away his memories, that he slept with Catherine and that he loved her and now he couldn't even remember her full first name? There weren't any words that could possibly make Riley feel better.. he just wanted to go home.. whereever that was.. did he even have a home to go to?
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
Re: Back to the cells'That was amazing.. you where amazing.. that was amazing.' She looked back at him for a moment, no that hadn't been anything special, she hadn't been able to defeat him with her mind like Sean could she couldn't summon up fire balls like Dean. She wondered for the first time of what he would think about being taken to live at the school for mutants. What would Xavier even say about the fact Riley had been spying on the school behind his back. She couldn't help feeling a little proud that he was impressed, but she'd rather not have impressed him with violence.
'How did she do that.. make us hurt like that.. it really hurt...' Now didn't seem the best time to tell him he had a chip in his brain, that could wait for another time, a time when she could sort out what he needed to know from what had happened. He didn't know her anymore the last thing he needed to hear was that she'd slept with him such a short space of time ago.
'What's wrong with me.. why can't I remember things, what did they do to me?' What was she supposed to reply to that ... it had been her fault, she'd done this to him, she'd abandoned him to the initiative .... but at least he was alive. She wondered for a second if indeed she had made the right choice when Joan confronted her, maybe she would have peferred a few short months of happiness before he died rather than watch him perhaps find he liked someone else.
'Why isn't any one talking to me.. what did I do wrong?' He looked so lost as her eyes met his again, she'd have to say something, all this must be driving him insane, she didn't know how the initiative could do this to anyone.
'Riley.' Her eyes travelled back over to Graham and Forrest who were waiting impatiently by the door. 'We have to get out of here now alright, but I promise I'll explain all this later.' She couldn't tell him, not when he looked like that, it was clear she was taking his memory whipe better than last time, she'd lern't from her mistakes, she didn't want him trying to hurt her again.
She made her way over to them as quickly as she could trying not to limp with the pain in her hip, now wasn't the time for thinking about it, she'd think how much it hurt when they got back to Xaviers, if she could even find it.
Don't frown, you never know who might be falling in love with your smile
Re: Back to the cells'Riley.' He found that her eyes where strangely captivating, should she look at him, it was as if he had to look back. She must be a leader of sorts.. everything she did always seem to demand attention, part of him felt assured by her presence yet at the same time that wasn't helping ease his concerns just now.
'We have to get out of here now alright, but I promise I'll explain all this later.' There was a loss of strength when she looked away, he became more nervous, his eyes moving towards the doors as if expecting more guards to flood into the room. As she moved away, he lingered on the spot he was standing, his eyes following her yet his legs waiting for her to tell him what to do. There was the faintest of limp in her walk, that other girl had hurt her.. Riley's eyes moved back to the imprisoned form of Joan, who was now focusing on healing herself. A smile spread into her lips, her fingers gently pressing against them and blowing him a kiss, 'We have to get out of here now' that was an order, right? She wanted him to follow.. he didn't want to stay with this other girl..
Hurrying after her, Riley's eyes worriedly glancing around, he had decided now, that he really didn't like that other girl.. had what Cat said to her been true, did she really torture her? And did she really take away everyone Cat cared about, how did she do that? And where did she take them.. he wished he understood what was going on, he wanted to be told exactly why they where getting attacked, why he wasn't able to remember.. why must it wait for later.. why not a quick reason to help him understand?
The group followed Forrest who was hurrying them towards the elevator, Forrest knew the other ways to the garage from here would be blocked, they had to move up to the next floor and go from there. But once they got there, the elevator seemed to be shut down, yet neither Forrest or Graham let that bother them, pulling open the doors and both began looking up the smooth walls.
"We'll have to climb up to the next floor by using the cable as a ladder." Graham explained to both Cat and Riley, but Riley glanced down at Cat, he knew she was hurt.. how would she climb up there? Forrest reached for the cable, the drop seemed endless, the shadows leaving the imagination to ponder just how far down it was. There was only another fifteen levels below them, and three above, the lower levels used mainly as labs and storage areas. Riley looked back down at hall as Graham climbed up the black smooth cable, there was a shuffle of distant feet, Riley's arms scoop Catherine up, pulling her close against his chest as he grabbed hold of the cable. He didn't care if she was strong or quick or whatever, more guards where coming and they had to get up there, if she was hurt, it'd have taken her longer he assumed, and they needed to hurry.
It was very smooth the cable, Riley's grip was possibly enough to break someone's neck, but it was actually rather good he had something to pour his energy into, he felt rather easily agitated by a lot of things right now.. Could be because he was getting shot at and he wasn't exactly sure why.. his knees bent, the cable held tightly between them, Catherine's body preventing him from getting a better grip of it with his thighs. The first few times his hand pulled both his weight and Catherine's it seemed to be rather sluggish and slow, but after that Riley seemed to get the hang of it, and was already catching up with Graham who was now only a few meters above him.
"What did you do today Riley? Oh.. you know.. usual stuff.. woke up, forgot a bunch of things.. had a headache, got shot at a couple times.. how about you?" The annoyance in his voice tried stubbornly to drown out the worry, the panic, his eyes peering back down as some other agents poked their heads in and looked up towards them. Forrest had opened the upper floor elevator and already helped Graham out, Graham’s hand reaching in for Riley’s arm as he held it out for help to pull both him and Catherine back onto solid ground. Gently placing Cat back on the ground, his eyes looking off down the new hall.. it looked just like all the others. Graham and Forrest hurried towards the garage, it was only then that Riley had noticed that other blonde creature wasn't with them, Spike having taken a different way to get to where they where all going.
Riley (about Catherine): She has the truest soul I've ever known.
Forrest: Oh no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord spare me - college boys in love.
