Six weeks, that's how long she'd been off the grid. He'd barely to her since the babies were born. He'd left her alone, given her the space she'd seemed to want. Tonight though, on the eve of the Battle Royale... he thumbed on his phone and fired her a text message.
Hey stranger...
Take it away... Alexis Wilde

Alexis was at home. Her new home and yeah, for good reason had been off the grid these past 6 weeks. 6 fucking weeks; so seeing just simple message appear on her phone was enough to bring a slight smile to her exhausted face. Human contact almost seemed like a dream at the moment.
MESSAGE: Hey. I've got the popcorn ready for tonight.

It'll be a hell of a show I'm sure. How you holding up?

MESSAGE: Adjusting. Fucking tired. You?
She could really just phoned him and save the hassle of texting back and forth but she was reclined on the couch, curled in a ball getting some rest.

Hit a breaking point. I feel almost sorry for the jack asses in the battle royale tonight. It's not going to be pretty for them.
He left out the reasons why he'd hit a boiling point.

MESSAGE: Might not be pretty for you either. Might be why you need to wear that mask.
It came across cold but if you knew Alexis it was just her sense of humour. She smirked to herself. But another message follows.
MESSAGE: What's been the breaking point?

Have to keep striking terror in all the hearts and minds, right
He grimaced at her second message, running his hand over his jaw.
Just a bunch of shit all at once. Stuff with Jaime. Other... stuff.

Not having heard from you since the kids were born. Even a "hey, I'm alive." As for Jaime, he's got a fine line he needs to start walking. I'm nobodies bitch.

Her jaw clenched; not taking in the first sentiment he'd thrown out.
MESSAGE: And neither am I. So don't be 'bitching' that I haven't been in touch. You want to be the one staying at home alone with 3 kids?

He sighed, giving a slight eye roll.
They're not the same and you know it Lex. Running errands and listening to bad jokes... keeping him protected from all the various people he's cocinced are after him. That's not the same as letting someone know you're doing alright.

MESSAGE: I'm doing alright. There.
Seeing as he's the only person that's asked she SHOULD and COULD be nicer about that.
MESSAGE: .. And Jaime's jokes are actually quite funny. Once you get used to them.

Look, Lex... I'm not expecting a nightly call. We both know that. You're on my mind and I want to be sure you're good. If you need something, let me know. Alright? Jaime.... I think he's taking for granted what POWER is. He may need a reminder that POWER is a conglomeration. Not one man.

MESSAGE: And what sort of reminder were you thinking of? Because you know if you go too far POWER is going to become FAILURE.
She was trying to sus him out.
