*Alice's aimlessly pacing around her room. She's not sure what she needs to do beside find somebody to help her learn to control... whatever it is. The urge to just leave isn't quite as bad as it was since she's figured out that her Keeper most likely hasn't found her here yet but the two men that look and sound just like him still make her nervous enough to want to run. And that's not even mentioning the whole was that her Rain or... another problem. She's made it halfway around the room for the fifth time when she hears a knock on the door. She narrows her eyes and goes to the door. She peeks out the window next to it and blinks. Speak of the devil... She opens the door and cocks her brow.*

Rain... How'd you find me here?

"Simple." the ebony haired woman answered, dressed in the same snug black t-shirt in which she was killed in, along with a pair of jeans and the same black laced combat boots. Though her hair had been cut a bit short, perhaps shoulder length, the layered strands still curving along her jaw line.

"I asked somebody." a smirk came to those light pink lips, as the brunette quirked an eyebrow herself.

"I've got somethin' to tell you..." a hint of a Detroit accent in her tone, though the normal acid humor and wit...suddenly disappeared.

*Alice keeps her expression neutral as she gestures for the woman to come inside. Memories she's tried blocking and the guilt she's felt for not getting the antidote fast enough to save Rain or Matt surge within her. But she tries to ignore that, obviously she doesn't have to feel that way about this Rain.*

I'd say you've got a few things that you might want to share... come in before the whole place gets to hear your story.

Nodding calmly, yet curtly, the Latina began inside letting Alice shut the door behind them as Rain began to lean her back against the wall.

"Where do I begin?... Isaacs ...he..." this was going to hurt her more than it would hurt Alice.

"The son of a bitch brought me back... straight from the train, I felt it...I felt everything through everything. And he didn't care... he wanted to use me, to get to you. He said if he couldn't give you the power ...the no one would." a pause.

"I was sent to kill you, Alice."

Dark hazel eyes stared down to the flooring a moment, as she placed a slender hand on her hip.

"Almost wanted to...but then...something sparked, a memory? A glimpse of... some fuckin' past... I don't know. And then... he told me there was no one like me... that I didn't remember anything because I had an 'accident'."

"I don't know about you, but a planned death of me and my team, is no God damn accident."

[alice_abernathy]

*Alice's brows furrow as she locks the door then wanders over the small table. She can't say she's too surprised to hear that the company wants her dead. After all, why run the risk of some other company getting their hands on her. She looks over at the woman when she mentions the name Isaacs... it's familiar... why? Finally it dawns on her... he's the one that she let live because she felt sorry for his mother... at least she thinks that's who he is. Things from her awakening are still kind of fuzzy. She leans against the edge of the table and folds her arms across her chest.*

So... you really are... this sounds weird, my Rain. They must have gotten you right after they took me and Matt... *she pauses and grimaces a little before continueing* Of course it wasn't... we're talking about Umbrella here.

Hers? Was she an object of affection? 'My' meant possessive... was there a hidden meaning to that? Rain shook her head as if to mentally slap herself back into reality, as she shifted her weight onto her other foot.

"I'm sorry...about him..." it took all her strength to not grit her teeth when mentioning the little bastard.

[alice_abernathy]

*Alice arches her brow and she smirks a little. She doesn't need whatever the virus's done to her to notice how forced the other woman's voice sounds.*

He died saving me... if it wasn't for him... *she shrugs* I don't know maybe I would have stayed dead. But that's besides the point... so if you're not going to try to kill me, what now?

[bitchdontstand.livejournal.com]

What complete and utter bull shit. First came training the rookies, and Fowler still wouldn't let her in S.W.A.T. Now came dealing with people with small minds. She didn't think she could take much more of this. Died saving her? Bull shit. That piece of crap wouldn't die for anyone. Other than being stubborn in his own ways. Though it was a bit more crucial of being a human being than that of Spencer Parks. Good pay they said, excellent benefits they said Fuck you, Umbrella.

Rain gawked a moment, having to pick her jaw up off of the floor, but then went into her usual 'I'm a snide bitch and you can't do shit about it' routine.

"You of all people, are the least that needs saving."

[bitchdontstand.livejournal.com]

Surprised Alice didn't just shove her away, Rain stood hurt. Eyes full of glimmering tears, though being the tough ass bitch the brunette had always been, they seemed to get sucked back into those mellow brown oculars, with the rest of reality.

"This was a fucking mistake..." she muttered, wiping her lips with the back of her hand, just as a man walked in.

"Didn't you say Dick, was a cat?" the husky voice began, anyone could tell right off the bat she was a tomboy, and meant business.

"Fuck it." the same way she had said it in the Hive, taking one look at Riddick with a smoldering glare, a smile dared to play upon her lips.

"She's all yours..." she muttered, still wiping her lips, looking disgusted. He'd just be having her scraps, she got to Alice first. And it was a mistake to even be here...let alone live.

"Excuse me." with a triumphant shove, Rain began past the two, slamming the door behind her, still within sight, but heading far away. She was now against her, and didn't want shit to do with the woman. Not even Isaacs could pay her to get near the bimbo again.

God what she'd give for cocky ass J.D. He'd just tell her to toughten up...but how can you forget the one you loved?

Bull shit.

Given how crazy things have been, Jack decided she needed to change back into the blue suit Johnny gave her. No point in coming to completely naked and covered in ash twice, after all. She figures now's as good a time as any to track Alice down -- they're in the same motel, after all -- and find out how she knows Riddick, and what she knows about the world with three suns.

Life just gets stranger and stranger, she thinks, as she dodges out of the way of an upset woman storming past.

"Oh, hey... was that Alice's room?"

[bitchdontstand.livejournal.com]

Narrowing her eyes on the other girl, Rain spun around on her heel just not believing all this shit.

Calmly, she began.

"How do you know Alice?" it's as if she had never been mad at all. Miss Ocampo was good like that, one of the many reasons she had been on Umbrella. Though she had quite a temper...and did go off the deep end at times, but when she needed to do her job? Pfft.

[jack_b_badd]

"Me? Oh, I'm taking care of her cat. But I need to ask her some stuff. I think she and I have another friend in common, but I'm not sure. These multiple universes are so confusing." Jack grins wryly. "I've already met two versions of my childhood crush here; with my luck I'm going to end up meeting a few dozen of him."

[bitchdontstand.livejournal.com]

That actually made her laugh to be honest with you. A smile crept up upon her lips, though she wasn't in anything resembling a happy mood.

"Yeah, tell me." Rain muttered in sarcasm at the multiple universe comment.

Quirking an eyebrow.

"Wouldn't perhaps be...Dick? Would it?" a smirk.

"That's what she called him...though if you have the cat...then who the fuck was that?" that's when the nice-ness dropped dramatically.

[jack_b_badd]

"Oh yeah, the cat says his name is Dick... but we were comparing man-trouble notes the other day and there's a guy she calls Dick, too. He's like her self-appointed protector or something... her Keeper?" Jack grins and shrugs. "But I'm not sure, she might be talking about Riddick -- a Riddick, anyway. There are at least two of him wandering around here, and his first name is Richard. That's what I want to ask her about... I heard her telling someone about a planet with three suns the other night, and that's where I met him."

Jack realizes she's kind of babbling. Equilibrium, kid, equilibrium. You can be such a spaz; this lady isn't interested in your life story.

Riddick stares at the door after Rain leaves. WFT was that about?

"Bet she gets a lot of that old rhyme stuff. Rain, rain...," he says to the door and no one perticular. Then turns on his heel to face Alice. "Nice place you got here. Looks comfy. You chose well. Guess we're staying here a while?"

[alice_abernathy]

*smirks* We? What's this we shit?!

*she walks over to the mini-bar and gets a drink, she has a feeling she's going to need one.*

This is my room... And feel free to go to. *she turns to face him as she opens the bottle.* I'll miss you... promise. But you have to go first to really get the effect.

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"Short term selective memory. I forgot that. Like you just told Rain. Keeper." Riddick points to himself. "Now if you'd been a good girl and not tried to get away. We coulda had separate rooms like back at the house. Instead..."

"Would I make you miss me? I'm not that cruel." He shakes his head sadly, still grinning at her.

"I'll go easy on you though. We can do the line down the middle thing. That should be fun don't you think?

[alice_abernathy]

*Alice almost chokes on her drink.*

Been a good girl? I guess the whole "look I don't need you to watch over me constantly" thing was in a language you don't speak!

*she's tempted to make a run for it like Rain did but doubts that she can get to the door fast enough.*

You're not staying here Dick.

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"Now you're really starting to worry me," he says deadpan. " Your memory must be going. In which case you really need me around to keep things straight, 'cause I could've sworn we worked out my name the first night we met. Riddick. Dick's what you call that cat."

Riddick looks around and his nostrils flare, before he announces happily, "He's not here."

[alice_abernathy]

Me worry you?! Did you hit your head on the way here?!

*she knows it's probably the biggest mistake she's made all night but she walks over to him.*

No... you may have decided that you're not Dick, not me. But... somebody's keeping him for now.

[jack_b_badd]

The somebody who's "keeping" Dick the Cat walks up to Alice's door, takes a deep breath, and knocks. This is going to be interesting.

"Hello? Alice? Riddick?"

[alice_abernathy]

*Alice's about to answer when she hears yet another person at her door... She smiles though, she's almost certain Jack won't try to kiss her. She holds up her hand as she walks over to answer it.*

Hold that thought... *opening the door.* Hey Jack...

[jack_b_badd]

"Hey, Alice..."

Jack leans against the door frame, glances past Alice for a second, nods at Riddick, and then does a double-take.

"You're definitely not either of the Riddicks I've been talking to. Well, that answers my first question, 'cause I was wondering if you knew Riddick and I guess you do. Great, now there are three of you for him to shoot at..."

She's not really making sense yet; she looks a little bit pale.

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

Riddick head turns towards the door when he hears *that* voice. It was a voice he thought he'd never hear again. *Her* voice. But what the hell was she doing here. Not that he'd really figured out where here was yet.

He stops breathing when he hears Alice say, Jack.

"Excuse me? Get your butt in here!"

It's Jack. Taller. Older. Jack.

[alice_abernathy]

*Alice furrows her brows as she glances between the two of them. She steps back and gestures for Jack to come in. Okay it's clear that she's messing something here... she knew that there were lots of hims but she didn't think that Jack would have one too!*

Uhhhh want to come in?

*she debates making a break for it as she gestures for the girl to come inside.*

[jack_b_badd]

Jack enters the room looking sheepish. She takes a deep breath and walks up to Riddick, hoping he's not going to start yelling at her too.

"Hi, Riddick... long time no see."
