In an alternate reality, Rick returns to his family, only to discover there's something terribly wrong with his grandson. Rated for language, please review.

The Batter is a new kid at school, who isn't very talkative and doesn't have many friends. A popular masked boy named Zacharie is determined to change that.

School is naturally a stressful place, but for Zacharie (a new student who has just moved to the USA from France) it only ever seems to get worse. With language and bullying problems, Zach begins to think there is no escape from this all time low. That is however, until he meets the Batter.

Zacharie had begun tagging along with the Batter wherever he went, helping him purify the zones. That is, until three days ago. Then the masked merchant disappeared, splitting off from him while in Zone Three. Will have many a sadness

The Batter and Zacharie get married and Zacharie is a drug dealer.

When Batter's only friend disappears without a trace, his only choice is to follow the white rabbit - or in this case, the white cat. He quickly learns that not everything is as it seems. Human AU, Batterie, rated M for gore and NSFW content in later chapters.
