*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'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 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?

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."

*Alice pushes herself away from the table and starts pacing all over again. She snickers and shakes her head. What is it with people who shouldn't even be coming into her life and telling what she needs or doesn't need. Granted Rain probably doesn't know what happened but still... she growls softly.*

Who the fuck are you to tell me what I need or don't need? What? Are you shooting for being my second keeper? *she stops and looks over at the woman.* They fucked with Matt even worse than they did to us, okay. He pushed me out of the way of a helicopter even though I almost killed him.

And in the serious depth of it all... Miss Ocampo began to laugh. It had been a long time since Rain could really embrace sarcasm, but as quickly as the grin had pulled at her pout, the quicker it faded.

"Well, bitch." The husky tomboyish voice began.

"I thought I was your friend, but I also thought you wouldn't lie to us in the Hive, or act like a fucking three year old over this. I'll admit it's been hard..but you can't dwell on shit...no matter how hard it is. Don't burn your fucking bridge."

Did that make any sense? She needed a god damn tylenol!

*smirks* Act like a three year old eh? I don't know how long you've been... dead but it still seems like what happened in Raccoon just happened to me... so cut me some slack, okay? My keeper only told me I'd been dead for three weeks just a few days ago.

What the fuck was a keeper? What was all this shit? What was she talking about? Could it be possible that Alice could sound even crazier than now? But no...it happened. There were such things as zombies... she herself had died...and ... -

Biting down on her bottom lip, Rain pushed off from the wall now, standing in front of Alice, though there was sadness in her eyes.

"I..." yeah that's pretty much all she could say... Rain wasn't used to being with associated with ...depressing situations. Kicking ass was her thing.

With the little bit of courage she had, the brunette grit her teeth once, angry, you could see how cute she looked when she was mad.

"Shut up, Alice." was all she could mutter before leaning in, placing a slender hand to the blondes shoulder, and kissed her upon the lips.

It was either sanctuary or a death wish.

He knock firmly on the door. Something tells him he *should* just go in, but it's best to at least make an attempt at playing nice for her sake.

Alice was tough. He liked that. But she could be skittish around him, and he liked that too. Trying to get past her ever shifting maze of walls, that was just his idea of fun.

Add to the combination the that she could come close to kicking *his* ass... *Mmmm* The fact that she kept backing off without *really* hurting him, that just proved she liked him.

"Answer the door or I'll just open it, Alice," he mutters.

*Alice looks over at the door when she hears a firm knock. She hadn't been expecting any people and now everybody seems to be dropping by! 'I would not be surprised if somehow that lawyer from the other day found me and is finally delievering my summons.' She glances over at Rain then walks over to the door and peeks out the window. She suddenly feels all the blood drain from her face but a part of her's actually glad to see him after what just happened with Rain. She looks back at the woman and frowns.*

Did you tell him where I was?

"She didn't have to. You didn't honestly think you could hide someplace I couldn't find you... Did you?"

Riddick saunters into the room.

Alice's wound tight, tighter than she usually was around him. Had to be the new girl, so he devotes his attention to her.

Interesting.

His goggles hide his evaluation of her. Nice. Tight. Fighter. But not a threat, to him or Alice. She'd only be a threat to Alice if she forced Alice to have to defend herself.

No. It would probably be best if he could draw the Spitfires attention away from Alice.

*Alice forces herself to stand her ground when Riddick walks in. She wants to take off again. It took forever to get away the last time she escaped. Could things get any worse?! First Rain tries kissing her and now... he's found her. Yeah it's official... she's screwed and not in a good way either.*

I was kind of hoping that I could...

*she walks over to the table and leans against keeping her eyes on both of them. Being trapped in a hotel room with two people that want to ... well it's pretty obvious now that Dick's not the only one that wants into her pants. 'Nope, this isn't the Nexus... this is hell.'*

Rain... this is Dick... my keeper... *she smirks at Riddick* This is Rain...

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?"

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.

"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."

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.

"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 huh?... two.. jesus, I can only take one." Rain muttered. Now also realizing the woman was babbling. But who cares? She's my key.

"What is this protector bull shit? She is more than capable of handling her own shit... she's superbitch for Christ sake."

"I'm not just her friend... I knew her long before any of you guys, I'm where she's from. Our universe...or what was left of it."

Jack finds herself grinning again. "I dunno... even superbitches can benefit from having a Furyan Warrior on their side. I know I did last night..."

Guilt flashes through her eyes.

"Well, assuming that's what her Riddick is. So you two are from the same universe?"

Another haunted look flashes through Jack's eyes, as she remembers one Riddick's reaction to finding out that she wasn't, after all, from his universe... wasn't his Jack. Massive, major ouch.

"You want Riddick...and I want Alice...what are the odds?" she looked to the asphalt in mere thought, just kicking a rock out of her way.

"There's a slight problem there.."

"But there's always a loop hole, ideas?" oh the possibilities.

Jack blinks. "Actually, I already have one back in my room. What, there's one in her room right now too? Damn, does this place get freaky or what? I wonder if it's the same one who likes to yell at me."
