Funeral for a Werefriend
"Where are you going Jamie?" Alex Summers had witnessed many friends come and go in this life. Wolfsbane was most recent. For the longest time she had been linked to him in a way that she could not live without him. They had been friends. He hurt inside like he never had before. And yesterday he had to bury his hurt with his friend. Now Jamie, another of his long time friends. The Multiple Man, had his bags packed and slung over his shoulder, walking down the steps of Valhalla.
"Don't even try to stop me Alex. I don't feel like saving anyone from evil today. Or tomorrow, or maybe ever again. Just let me go."
"Are you coming back Jamie? The team won't be the same without you."
"The team can go to hell Alex. It brought about her death. I can't live with that and I don't even know how you are standing there acting like it never happened. I fucking quit. You can consider this my resignation." With that he spit on the ground and got into his cab.
As he drove off Alex mumbled something under his breath.

"Where are you going?" Alex had just walked inside, and at the bottom of the stairs was Thornn, bag in hand as well.
"I don't belong here Alex. I only came because she said it would be good for me. Without her I don't feel like I have a friend here."
"Thornn. Jamie just left the team. I really don't want to lose you as well."
Thornn looks at him with a confused look. "Do you even care Alex? That attitude alone doesn't want to make me stay. She was apart of this team, Jamie left and I am leaving and all that you're worried about is empty roster spaces. Screw you."
She stalks past Alex, who mumbles something under his breathe again. As she stomps outside, she lights a cigarette and a voice perks up.
"That'll kill ya."
Thornn quickly turns around. "Oh, Guido. I didn't know you were there. What are you doing?"
"Thinking. Thinking about staying here or leaving."
"Have you decided yet?"
"Yeah. I can't leave my friends. They are my family. Leaving them would be running out on them when they need me just as much as I need them. I can't blame Jamie for leaving. He's hurting. Hell, I'm hurtin'. But I'll get through it. We will all get through it the only ways we know how."
Thornn thought for a moment, "You remind me of her you know? Of her kindness I mean. I don't feel like I fit in here, but I don't have anywhere else to go. I am alone in this world Guido."
Guido got up off the steps, where he had been sitting, and embraced Thornn in a hug. "We all are kid. We all are. We just got to make the best with the friends we got. Rahne thought you would be good here. I believe it to."
Thornn began to cry, something she hadn't done in years. "Guido, do you think it would be ok if I stayed here with you guys? Would the others mind?"
Guido smiled a little bit, "They'll love ya kid."
Reaper opened the front door suddenly, "Whoa, sorry to interrupt an all but Alex just called a meeting."
Everyone was around the table. The whole team. Even Thornn, who had decided to stay with the team. Two seats were empty, Jamie's and the new seat brought in for Rahne. Alex stood at the front of the table.
"Now, I called this meeting together to let everyone know that no matter what happens, no matter what tragedy occurs, someone has to remain calm. Someone has to remain in charge to look after everything. They have to choke down the emotions they want to feel and take care of business." He began to get choked up, he was breaking down. The days of stress and sadness was getting to him.
"Now, I loved Rahne like she was my daughter. She was a friend, and we had been through a lot together. But am I breaking down? NO I AM REMAINING CALM GOD DAMN IT!!!"
He slumped into his chair and began to sob heavily mumbling Rahne's name under his breath. Lorna quickly ran to him and began to comfort him while the others sadness swelled once more.
