Movement and the sound of driving. It was nearly surreal with the feeling of leather under her skin. She smiled, because it smelled like him and his Bently. "Am I dead?"
Asking that out loud seemed childish... nearly naïve. Of course she was dead, she was in comfort and felt safe. |

"I don't think what you SHOULD be, represents what you ARE."
Bishop looks at Nero's face, the grogginess making her squint in the desert sun.

"You're here..." Another smile as she struggled to see him. "I didn't think hell would be this cruel..." The smile faded quickly as her mind wrapped around it's new fabricated reality.
"Did I fall into the steel? Can you tell me how he did it?... Remmi... she's..." |

"Probably desiring the death of me. You aren't dead Nero, you are here...with me."
He reaches to touch her, the feeling of finally feeling her skin was...ethereal.

She tried to sit up but her stiff muscles wouldn't move and the drugs they gave her to keep her sleeping to heal was still heavy in her system.
"Garrett?"
She nearly came to tears feeling his hand against her arm. "I... I don't understand..."

"Yes..."
Bishop was speaking slowly, the effects of his emotions.
"You survived...They...I found you. Thanks to Sin and the church."

"Is it over?" Her voice remained groggy as her eyes finally stopped trying to see. He said she had survived and for now she was going to believe that as she closed her eyes. The smile returned as she felt his hand on her face, maybe he didn't believe this was real either.

"Your part is. Regardless of what you may say Artemis, congratulations. You won, you deserve a victory lap...or rest."
Bishop ran his hand down her face, absorbing the touch and finally accepting he should value his time with her...more than he ever did.

"I'm sorry." Her mind was still foggy but for a second her words were as clear as day. With such a sudden change it had to mean Remmi was addressing him.
That was until she didn't respond to him, finally asleep under her own will and not by those of drugs.

"Don't be, you did what you had to. You're back."
He assumed he was speaking to Remmi, even as the body fell asleep. Talking to her face regardless of consciousness was enough. Pulling up the safe house despised by Nero, Bishop walks around to the passenger seat and lifts Nero out of it. Walking inside, Bishop lays her down on the couch before walking into the next room and pulling out his phone. Dialing Sin's number, Bishop brings the phone to his ear.
"Come to the safe house, I need someone to be with her while I deal with him. Once and for all."

"Her? " He was in shock as he pulled his car around to head for the safe house. He was restless once Bishop left... So cursing around seemed like the best idea, less people to snap on.
"As in?" |

"As in Nero, we rescued her...Remember?"
Bishop's tone was forceful to an extent, trying to get the point of his emphasis of the fake story across.

"... Of course, it must have slipped my mind." He was close to the safe house as he hung up the phone, processing what Garrett had just told him.
Once he got to the house he stood outside the door, taking a moment before he opened to door to see Nero sleeping on the couch. She was covered in a blanket as Garrett was standing against the wall. "I'm not going to ask any questions, just tell me what I need to say Garrett... but one day I'm going ask questions and I hope you trust me enough to answer them." |

"Upon a day."
Bishop walks over to Sin.
"In a nutshell: she's not dead, he saved her...I think that's all."

"And when Nero asks?" He wasn't worried about his father, the two brothers were given free reign to handle the problem anyway they see fit. He could cover enough to not have questions asked.
"Because we know she will, eventually." |
