Leliana Smiled slightly to Cleanse before she turned her eyes to Sam. She school her head at his words before she walked over to him,"Sam...it isn't your fault. We can never know that these things will happen. We never think they will."she placed a hand on his shoulder, kneeling in the mud beneath them.
"Let's not lose the others. Let's foght, let's fight for Jennifer..f-for Leo. For everyone who ever died so...young..."her words came out soft.
"You have an amazing ability...let's make her proud."she smiled softly to him, hoping her words provide some comfort.

Sam just continued to sit there in the dirty puddle "It should've been me..." Sam's eyes fixed on the freshley covered grave. Sam didn't reply to her, instead he looked at her and nodded his head. slowly getting onto his feet, Sam trned and made for the house, his pace was very slow and for him the rain provied the most comfort.
The flowers Jennifer and him used to play and laugh in crnched under his feet from each step "Leave me..." he said to her, he knew what he asked for wasn't much but it was all he actally wanted. The rain pored so fast it didn't seem like it was going to stop at all the whole night. Thunder roaring as lightning pierced the sky a few times.
The streets were dark and quiet, his eyes seemed to adjust very well to the dark than normal allowing him to see easily what's going on in the darkness around him. The dirt seemed to slowly clear from his suit through the rain.
It was 5am in the morning when Sam came home, he'd been gone for 6 hours. Ben and Nicole were sat waiting for him nervously. He unlocked the door and let it slowly creek open, he shut the door behind him and locked it then sat at the table staring out the window opposite the chair he was sitting at.
Ben and Nicole just watched the hollow shell of the man they see before them with sadness in their eyes as he sat there, staring into nothingness. His eyes had dark rings around them and his skin was pale under the light from the dark piercing lightning that flashed a few times through the window.
"Sam... please don't beat yourself up..." Nicole said holding her one of his shirts, she placed it on the table along with some trousers. Dirt was dried up on his cheeks and forehead
"Dude... Where have you been?" Ben asked, Sam just slowly turned his head towards him. Not saying a single word
"Looking..." his voice was broken as he replied, turning his head to look out of the window once more.

Leliana nodded when he asked her to leave and stood. She walked back over to Clease, sighing softly as she pat him on the soldier. She glanced back at the grave as they headed back to the house. She needed some sleep, today had been long and stressful.
Unfortunately, sleep did not come. She tossed and turned in her bed, sitting up with a groan. She licked her lips as she looked around the dark room. Eventually she walked over to the window, pushing it open for some fresh air.
She glanced towards her door as she heard theain door open then click as of was locked,'So he's back...'she thought to herself.
Leliana grabbed her clothes, not bothering with the straps designed for the 3D gear. She brushed her fingers through her hair as she walked out of her bedroom. She smiled slightly when she saw Sam but said nothing. Instead she headed towards the door,"I um...need to go out. I'll be back..."she murmured before she pulled her hood on and left.
Something had been on her mind for hours and she needed to know...she needed to know what happened that day, just to know if she was remembering correctly.

Sam saw her door open slowly "...h-hey" he said looking in her direction through the gap in his hair. It was late so it normally cause alarm why she wouldn't be able to sleep at this time but everyone was like that. Ben watched her leave and had half a mind to follow her
"Stay here" Sam said to the others, slowly getting off the chair he traded his shirt for a new one "I was looking..." He said to them as he buttoned his shirt "looking for someone we need... Someone we all know... Myself"
Sam buttoned up his shirt and rubbed his eyes, closing the door behind him as he left. He followed her, trying to catch up "hey" he called out to her "wait up" eventually catching up, he tried to catch his breath, he was weak to say the least "where... Where are you going?"

Leliana's pace was quick as she headed away from the house, her hand fimblimg with the clasp of her cloak while she walked. She glanced around the area, not knowing where she was in the slightest.
She stopped when she heard Sam's voce and turned her head her eyes widened when she saw him and she turned around,"Sam, go back and get some rest...I'll be fine..."she shifted uncomfortabely, looking down at the ground.
"I...I don't usually sleep much so...this is normal. I just need to..."she paused, not sure if she wanted to tell him what it she sought to understand.

"No" eventually able to catch his breath, Sam stood opposite her evaluating her "you're going somewhere, I don't feel comfortable with my friends being secretive or whatever, that's not how we work" he placed a gentle hand on her arm "we're a family, we tell each other everything, especially when we're willing to lay down our lives for each other "
The street was silent and the ground was still wet from the rain. The sun began to rise but not enough to shine its rays over the walls.
"You've just gotten back to humanity and you have somewhere to go?" Be asked confused as to what she would be looking for since her hibernated state.

"You've just gotten back to humanity and you have somewhere to go?" Be asked confused as to what she would be looking for since her hibernated state.
With a sigh she nodded,"Yes, you're right...."she turned to fully face him, a hand ruffling his hair,"I just...want to know what happened to my squad. Obviously they've all passed away but..I want to know if...he survived..."she looked down, her fingers gently rubbing the engagement band on her finger, her eyes looking sad.
Sam didn't like the idea but her friends are important to her as his are to him "Okay, then i wanna come with you, What you find... i just want to be with you to make sure you're okay" he said placing very gentle hands on her fore arms "It's not an easy road... you have us" he whispered
The sun gradually crept over the walls, the wet streets bounced the light from the sun. Sam followed her where ever she went.

Leliana nodded slightly,"Yes...youre right of course. I just...need the closure."she smiled slightly, placing her hand on his. She turned and continued to walk, leading him to a large building with the wings of freedom on the front.
The shifter walked in, ignoring whatever glances they received,"So, Sam...uh. I was wondering if you'd like to train together since well...ya know."

Sam caught a few people stare at him, their dagger-like stares were starting to piss him off, enough to the point where he flipped the bird to anyone he thought was talking about him and her behind his back. Sam's attitude was terrible, especially since he's not behaving like himself. Sam still felt like everything was his fault but he wanted to act strong for his friends, even if he was dying inside.
"Train?, yeah whatever, I need to learn how to use this properly... Go full Titan to rip those bastards to shreds" he began to drift off as images of himself destroying titans Started to fill his mind. He wanted revenge... As much as possible...
He followed her inside, his hands in his pockets and his hair casting a shadow over his eyes, he kept his eye on everyone and everything making sure there was no one who wanted to hurt her, he didn't care about himself... Death didn't seem so bad either...

Her gaze was sad as she looked at him. She didn't like that he wasn't acting himself. She knew it was hard to loose someone you love, heck she was hear to fond out what happened to her own many years ago.
She placed a hand on his arm, pulling him off to the side,"You're worrying all of us...and trust me I know where your coming from with this pain but we're all still here and we need Sam. humanities new hope."she looked up to him,"You have such an amazing ability but no you cannot go about it like this. I won't allow it."
Leliana released him,"You'll see many die around you, but I won't let that happen. Not one drop of their blood nor yours. So don't think of this as revenge, but helping them have their chance at life we won"t get."

"i'll kill anything and anyone who even tries to hurt my friends" he said slamming his fist into his palm. He looked into her eyes and couldn't help but welling up as she told him off.
"I'm..." he whispered, a few seconds of minor tears he finally broke down. he hugged her tight trying to find comfort "I loved her so much!" he said, pain in his voice as he cried "i Wish i could bring her back, Lilly... wish i could... Bring her back"
(im sorry Chibi, i wanted to leave a longer reply but I don't want to interfere with Leiliana's visit to wherever she's going, sorry
)

Leliana held him tightly, her hand gently stroking his hair as she did her best to comfort him,"I know its hard but I need you to be strong. I can't do this without you."she whispered to him, pulling back slightly to wipe his eyes with her fingers,"Give me a smile. Give me a Sam smile."sue said with one of her own on her lips.
(I don't mind Trippin! Really, it doesn't brother me at all. I enjoy your responses either way )
(I don't mind Trippin! Really, it doesn't brother me at all. I enjoy your responses either way )
Sam pulled himself together somewhat, trying to regain his composure he sniffled then wiped away the tears "Right, we're in this together" he said sniffling with half a 'Trying' smile.
"I'm sorry, I never lost someone before... someone as dear as Jennifer" He said losing himself in thought for a moment, he shook his head clear and cleared his throat like nothing happened. He looked around trying to change the subject and mostly out of curiosity "Why are we here?"

Leliana was glad to see him at least smile even of it was only a bit. She riffled his hair before she turned, brushing her hair over her shoulders.
"I...want closure. I need to know who survived, who got married or loved another day. Oh, I'm talking about my old squad and...fiance."she said, almost timidly as she adverted her eyes to the sodem she could feel her heart to then as she thought about him.

"You don't need to do this... you've been gone fore years..." he said placing gentle hand on her arm. It seemed she wanted to know what happened to her old pals "But, i guess if i were in your position, I'd do the same"
Sam watched the people walk past them, half of them pointed and whispered whilst some growled at them. Sam wasn't happy with it but eventually they'd be able to show their worth... Sooner rather than later would be better...
A kid ran into Sam, he seemed to be 9 years old. Sam turned to face the kid with a little annoyance building up, but as soon as Sam turned he was pelted with stones. The kid and some of his friends were throwing them at him "Hey! stop" he yelled trying to shield himself.
"Look at the kids... should we stop them?..." asked the mother of one of the children
"Nah let them do it" the father replied throwing a rock at Sam as well "It's not like they're harming people"

Leliana was honestly shocked to see children pelting stones at her friend. She felt her anger suddenly heighten and she stepped between him and the rocks. She didn't even wince as one hit her square on the temple. She grabbed his arms, tugging him onward into a room the public wasn't allowed.
"Even the children...what the hell is wrong with this era! I thought things were going to get better but the people haven't changed in the slightest."she grumbled as a stream of steam came from the gash, the cut quickly healing.
"Just they watch."she turned to Sam, fixing his collar,"We'll show them we're worth more than a hundred armies!"she looked confident as she said this.

"They're just kids" he shrugged patting the dust off his clothes. "It's their parents that are wrong..." he sighed deeply. It was true, adults were the bigger monsters.Sam snuck out and creeped his way towards the information building.
"Okay, here, i think we'll find out everything about your ex partners here"
"Okay, here, i think we'll find out everything about your ex partners here"
Leliana didn't even bother trying to sneak, she simply followed after him since her footsteps were naturally grace full and silent. Once they approached what they needed she felt nervous to fond out what had happened but...she needed this closure or she wouldn't be able to move on.
She took a deep breath as she searched through each of her four comrades folders, each one she read pulled at the strings of her heart. Her hand shook as she lifted Leon's file. She flipped it open, her eyes slowly reading over the report. She brought a hand to her mouth and quickly shoved the folder back into the drawer and slammed it shut.

Sam hopped up onto a desk and looked around the information, it was all public record. He could find everything of everything and everyone in these very drawers. Maybe it was time he faced the demons he was trying so hard to forget over all his life.
He saw her too busy to pay attention to anything he did and found it the best time to look for the files "B... hmm..." he said to himself walking down an isle with the letter B, The tall cabinets were almost as tail as the building and needed ladders to reach the top. He continued down the isle, looking left and right between the cabinets to find the files, it was impossible to find it by himself.
At the end of the isle was an information board. It had all the information about the cabinets on it ad where all the files for that isle were.
"So you actually decided to look hunh?" a females voice came from behind him. Sam quickly turned to look
"Oh, hey Susan" Sam said relieved, his heart was racing more than usual.
"Sorry i didn't mean to startle you" she said looking at the information board with a smile as she stood alongside him "After the events that happened recently, you have reasons to be jumpy. I'm sorry" Her smile faded as she turned her head to look at him then looked back down at the infrmation board with slight worry in her eye "I know you loved her"
"Yeah, me too. I loved her way too much actually... life has a way to make those who suffer the most draw the short end of the stick... all time" he said holding in his tears.
"Don't worry, you still have everyone else" she said with a soft voice, she placed a finger on the section of the isle he needed to look for the files "Here, they should be on the 29th row"
"all the way up there..." Sam said looking slightly annoyed, he grunted and turned towards her "Thanks Susan" he said softly, he hugged her tightly and whispered something really quietly in her ear. As he pulled away she nodded her head with a slightly pained look on her face.
He grabbed the ladder and climbed to the 29th row, there on the on the cabinet was written his surname. Sam took a deep breath and pulled open the cabinet then took out the file. He looked through it, holding back tears at the images inside the file.
"On January 2006" Sam read the file to himself "A Titan outbreak had occurred, half of the town was destroyed and 6.5 thousand people were killed" it was a news paper article that was cut out inside the file.He put it back in and pulled out a death paper with his mother and father's photo in it, he was still too weak to read the cause of death so he placed the image and the rest of the file into the inside of his jacked.
As he made his way down he heard A bang of a cabinet "Lily?" he asked himself. Quickly he made his way down the ladder and ran towards her isle, he saw her on the floor, mouth covered by her hand "Hey, is everything okay?" he asked kneeling down besides her he softly wrapped his hand around hers. Susan came after him, she looked down at the both of them
"What happened?" she asked
