"Mm-hmmm." Jo snickers.

"If we don't discourage her, she'll keep doing it."

Deleted user

Jo's snickers turn into full-fledged, gut-busting laughs as Nikki rolls her eyes.

"But she got through a combination lock to do that! I'm more proud than I am annoyed at our intelligent little friend!" he retorts.

Deleted user

Jo eventually stops laughing, and just looks at Nikki contemplatively.

He snorts. "Shut it. My point is, she's smart, and she's rude, but she loves us."

Deleted user

"Ugh. You know that's not what I meant." Jo replies annoyedly, though he was clearly supressing a slight smile.

"God, just eat your food and let me contain the cat in peace-" Jo chuckles.

Deleted user

Jo coralles the cat - who had been sureptitiously eating Jo's food off the counter - and places her into the bathroom before coming out and starting on his slightly nibbled food.

Deleted user

Jo, despite not looking at Nikki, was very finely tuned to her at this point.

"Oi, don't roll your eyes at me, missy."

Deleted user

Jo chuckles, finishing his own food and doing the rest of the dishes.

Nikki made her way to the stairs and trotted up them getting to hers and Jo's room and grabbing a baggy tank top and sweatpants before stripping, and throwing her clothes in the hamper and walking over to the bed to start getting dressed.

Jo hums as he works on the dishes, scrubbing the pots and pans.

Nikki got dressed and came down stairs with a blanket and a book. She trotted back down stairs and walked to the couch in the living room and curled up in the blanket before nestling into the couch with her book already opened and in her face.

Jo looks over and smiles. He liked how life was going, as of late.

I should propo- he starts to think before someone banged on the door of the apartment.

@Obsidian-Fae health_and_safety ac_unit

Nikki smiled and rolled her eyes "don't worry I got the door babe." She slipped off the couch and ran over to the door and opened it, the smile on her face fading as her eyes landed on the man at the door and her body froze "what are you doing here… "

Deleted user

A loud bang rings out - a gunshot.

Jo goes into feral mode and tackles the man who was at the door, beating him literally to death before pickling Nikki up and hopping onto her motorcycle.

He rushes her to the hospital and waits frantically for any news on her condition.

@Obsidian-Fae health_and_safety ac_unit

Nikki didn't even have time to scream, she stared at the man tears forming in her eyes before she looked down at her stomach, blood quickly oozing from the gun shot wound. She touched it before bringing her hand up and seeing the blood she fell backward as the world started to fade into black. She was unconscious by the time they got to the hospital and she was hurriedly prepped for surgery and taken away for operation.

(That's alright. Thank you-)

About n hour into the surgery, Jo takes a deep breath, suddenly seeming much calmer. He knew this state. He'd been in it once before.

He was preparing to kill a lot of people.

He leaves the hospital and goes home, grabbing a few guns and grenades. He makes a makeshift chest bomb from the rest of the grenades then steps out into the world, heading towards the building he'd tried to bomb at the beggining of all of this.
