"yeah my father beats me," Lex wincing,

"here sit in front, I can hold you that way your not in so much pain," Eric getting on first, Lex got on in front of him.

"Now I am going to wrap my arm around you fairly tight," Eric explains, Lex shook her head yes, Eric got his body close to her body where he was leaning on her body, he puts his arms around her and held her tight then raced off into the night. Halfway there she was limp in his arms, he knew she had passed out,

"she will be okay as long as she stays with you," the crow flying above, Eric got her to the apartment and gently, trying not to hurt her, got her in his arms and carried her up to the darkness that filled the apartment. Gently laying her on the bed she groans,

"Lex, I need for you to sit up," Eric bending by the bed, she woke up and slowly opened her eyes,

"why do you want me to do that," Lex slowly sitting up in pain.

"Cause I am going to fix your back but you are going to have to take your whole top off," Eric helping her take off his coat, he lays it on the chair, then he helped her with her thin shirt, he was shocked to find she wasn't wearing any bra,

"Lex, why don't you have a bra on," he turns his head to be respectful,

"my parents needs to buy food and pay bills for in order to keep me healthy and from the rain…,"

Eric had turned put his finger over her lips,

"I will buy you some, do you need some for the bottom half too," Eric getting medicine out for her back,

"um, yeah," Lex hurt and bit embarrassed cause she had no bra or underwear. Eric found an old shirt that had bullet holes in it, he went over and sat behind Lex,

"will this hurt," strongly, Eric paused,

"no, this wont seem any worse than your life has been already," Eric patting her back with his shirt, she winced,

"how do you know so much about me," Lex puzzled,

"your file," Eric putting pressure on her cuts,

"then that means you know all about my friend's murder and my wrist," Lex turning her head sideways,

"yes and the jail time," Eric hurt knowing it was wrong to have gone through her file.

"That was private, why did you go through something that wasn't yours," Lex harshly,

"I shouldn't have, I just wanted to know why you liked me so much," Eric softly,

"cause I understand you, cause I feel as if I were there with you in the comic book, and cause your hot," Lex calming down.

"Why do you think that," Eric pausing a few minutes,

"come over to the mirror and put your trench coat on," Lex getting up and getting his coat, he walks over to the mirror and Lex slips his trench coat on him,

"I still don't see anything that looks hot, my face is ugly," he turns around looking at her hurt.

"No, its not to me, to me what makes you stand out is the fact you don't have a shirt on, all you wear is the trench coat, it shows off your strong chest and abs," Lex rubbing both.

"I cant get involved with you Lex, you will get hurt," Eric looking at her in the eye,

"you know nothing of my life," Lex harshly,

"Lex your not strong, the crow….," Eric was interrupted,

"I know Eric, I am strong but not as strong as Death," Lex going over and sitting in the broke window, Eric sighed knowing he had upset her, he walked over to the window,

"I am sorry for what I said," Eric hurt, Lex just looks over at him and looks back out the window,

"I wish I were dead," Lex cried in pain,

"no, you don't, life is worth living," Eric hurt,

"I want to die, my life has been so hard," Lex closing her eyes, Eric puts his hands on her head showing her his death.

"You see that I didn't get to live my life out," Eric harshly, Lex puts her hands to Eric's head showing all her pain, Eric stumbled backwards.
