Okay. He knows- and how does HE feel? Seriously Tex. Is he okay with it or not?

No, but what the fuck else am I supposed to do? I can't cut Omega loose and I can't kill him. Not like this. He hasn't done pulled any shit here.

Stockade. Put him where he can't hurt himself, con you into anything, or hurt anyone else. Seriously. You can visit him if that bothers you but letting him LIVE with you isn't good for you, church, or the Director I'm pretty sure.

And I can't believe I just typed that.

I don't know why you're acting so concerned about them. You tried to kill the Director first thing you knew he was here and punched Church in the fucking face.

If they have that much problem with it, then we'll work it out ourselves.

Because Church is the Alpha is important to Delta. To Theta. I thought you were supposed to be wound up in protecting him and you're waltzing something that's not only upsetting but kind of triggering into your own home.

That's not something you would do normally.

I am protecting him. Omega's a loose cannon without me around and that's a gamble I'm not going to take.

And how do you know what I'd normally do?

To be perfectly honest? I don't. You don't talk much and you never explain why you do what you do. You just do it and sometimes I'm along because I'm useful and most often I'm on the outside wondering what the hell's going on in your head.

So I don't know. I don't even know you all that well. I sure as hell know you don't trust me so it makes wanting to trust you real hard.

You're joking, right? If I didn't trust you, do you think I would have given you a second chance after you punched me in the damn face? Or tracked you down to help me?

If I didn't trust your ass, I wouldn't be talking to you about this right now.

You needed a supplier and you needed a door opened. Most of the fragments have a habit of finding ways to keep people they find useful close, happy, and somewhat oblivious.

Except I'm not a fragment.

No- you're more than a fragment and less than a smart AI but you're still part of him. Somehow. And you live with him. And you want to live with Omega after everything that he did.

So I think I'm alright in being wary.

Then do what you will, Taylor, but don't make assumptions about me and I'm tired of going in circles with this. Omega's a goddamn dick, I won't argue with that. But he deserves another chance now that he's human and he's not here for long. I'm not leaving him to fend for himself and risk what he might do if he's left to wander around.

It's hard to not when you don't. Fucking. Say anything. Ever. You just DO. You don't even try to spin a line of bullshit you just do whatever.

What other chance? What can he possibly learn in five days? Just because they slapped him, delta, theta, epsilon and alpha in human bodies does not make you human. You're PEOPLE, sure. But you're not human. You're better at BEING human than the rest of them, yeah, but you're not.

Trying to treat him like one is not going to work. And you're not listening. I'm not saying 'let him wander' i'm saying 'lock him up'.

But fine. Do whatever you want, it's what you always do anyway. Have fun with that, Beta.

Go fuck yourself in your self-righteous ass. You're not any better than the rest of us and you can tell all your boyfriends I said that.

I wouldn't know if you're better or worse because you say fuck all.

Connie was right. You're a shadow.

Every time I've tried you've blown me the fuck off and then come back with shitty promises to make it up or gone on about your own drama. With all the bullshit you've mixed yourself up in, I didn't think you'd want mine to pile on top and drown in.

I'm not a fucking shadow and if you want to start pulling that bullshit and calling be 'Beta,' come say it to my damn face.

Once. I've blown you off once. I DIED helping you. And sure, my life's a fucking mess but your shit isn't gonna be what makes me swallow a gun. So either talk like you mean it or quit treating me like we're bffs, because I know jack dick about you other than what came from that chip and what you told me before I went off and got shot.

See I would- but then you'd get all weird and brainspaced because of that thing that happened to you- and not only would that not be any fun it'd be really fucking unpleasant for you afterward. So until that gets fixed? Not going there. I'll wait till you can actually hit me.

I call you shadow because that's all I know! I know more about Allison than I know about you, and she's been dead forever.

I don't know jack shit about you either beyond all the people you've been fucking here and that you have a damn gun shop stored on every block, so the feeling is mutual. I've helped you out here and I've been doing what I can to pay that goddamn debt, or have you forgotten about me hauling my ass out of bed in the middle of the night to help some dumbasses I've never even met before?

I don't know what you're expecting of me. I don't spew out every personal detail at a whim just because I've had a beer. I don't even do that with Church and I'm fucking him.

I thought I could trust you, but every decision I make here brings you yelling at my door even when they don't affect you. All of you assholes are expecting too fucking much of me. Sorry I'm not your perfect dumb bitch that got herself killed years ago. Maybe things would be better if I were.

Allow me to clarify the last thing I said: I know her better than you, and I know like five things other than her name and relation to Carolina. The only person that expects you to be her is the Director. I don't know what Church wants you to be. I don't know what Carolina wants you to be but I'm pretty sure it's not her mother. I don't know what Omega wants you to be other than his and that's something I'm not touching with a ten foot pole.

All I want, all I've ever wanted was for you to be honest. And here you are, finally, being honest. Not that you lied before but a lack of information is really fucking annoying. You hate flying blind. So do I. You know that. The choices you make have me yelling because you don't explain why! You talked me down from the director by making some kind of sense as to why you're backing him.

I don't agree. I don't get it. But I'm not as mad as I am about this. The last memory I had of you was you wanting Omega dead. This is a big fucking jump that I don't get and we both know your head has been fucked with here once. So other than "I know him well and I'll make sure he doesn't hurt anyone" which is valid. Worrying, but valid, explain to me WHY you want him to stay with you.

Then, fuck, I don't know, ask me something and I'll explain myself to you. I kind of owe you that.

You haven't given me a good reason for why you need to be involved with Omega, but fine.

You don't know everything that happened after you died and you're going to be pissed about that too. I killed Wyoming, but Omega had found a new host and an alien. He had a plan with them that could end the war and I couldn't let that pass by. We got on a pelican and a bomb planted on it caused us to crash.

That's the last thing that happened before we ended up with the Meta.

There's more to it than that, shit you really can't get because yeah, York, you are human and I'm not. You think you and Delta are close, try being an AI paired with another one for years. I could pull him, but that only got me so far. There's a lot of ways I fucking hate him, but it's not that simple. It never is.

See? Now we're on the same page and I kind of get it.

I don't agree- but I get it.

I never asked you to agree. I'm not asking you to help clean up any of my messes. I know what Omega is capable of better than anyone else.

But he was still my partner.

I still think it's a bad idea. Not because he pisses me off but because him being around compromises you worse than Church or the director. And the last thing anyone needs here is to be compromised. I say this as someone that has been frequently compromised and fucked a lot of shit up in the past few weeks.

Don't york it up, Tex. If you're hell bent on keeping him there, have a spotter.

Like who? Church is pissed and I don't even know if he can shoot and the Director's a sad, old man. Not many options around here.

Someone not from home. Someone unbiased. Who else do you know?
