Chapter 14 - Alex's Quest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knocking on the door, Alex questioned what he was about to do. He knew that he was not bound to do this task, but it was one that he had prepared for, and knew the means to finish it. And if he did nothing, then he was just condemming the world to crumble...
He also knew that he didn't need to speak with the person behind the door. In fact, he mused, the person probably didn't want to speak to him, either. But he had to tell someone in case he... failed...
Muscles tightning as the door opened, he saw Felix, wearing an undershirt and pants. Brown hair mussed from sleeping on it, his face was one of exhaustion. Behind him, the doorway revealed a dark room, with a small lump on the bed.
"Alex, what the hell do you want?"
Noting that Felix was as hostile as he had predicted, Alex gathered himself. "I need to talk to you. In private."
"Come in, but be quiet, or you'll wake Sheba."
"You didn't..."
Felix shot a gaze that could've killed, had Jenna's feelings not hindered the Venusian's judgement. "No, we didn't make love. I'm sleeping on the couch. How dare you-"
"Felix, this is serious."
"Yeah, what is it? Jenna rejecting you?"
Ignoring the snide comment, Alex pressed on. "I need to leave in a couple of days to handle some unfinished business. And... I'll also be going to Aleph."
Felix's anger vanished from his looks as he heard the words. "You mean you're going to go through with it?"
"I have to get it to keep others from it's power."
Felix scoffed at that, "Yeah, and I guess you'll come back to Jenna, right?"
Alex frowned. "Why do you hate me so? It was not my fault for what I did, ok? I was drunk; you and Sheba saw that. And then the rest just... happened. I have no intentions of harming Jenna or Sheba. And I have no wish to infuriate you of all people."
For the first time that night, Felix seemed to smile with something kin to joy. "If Sheba hadn't held me back before, I'd have killed you. I'm glad she did."
Reaching to grasp Felix's hand, Alex shook it, not knowing if he was off the hook yet.
"When are you leaving?"
"In a couple of days. But don't tell Jenna."
Felix dropped the smile. "Why?"
"If I don't make it, I don't want her to think that I was evil or something..."
Letting a sigh slip through, Felix nodded. "Alright. Now can I get some sleep?"
"I was just leaving."
And he did.
