Again I don't own the song it's from Ana Johnson

Chapter Six: We are

Lexa sat in her room after she sent Brennan away. She hated to do this but felt she had no options. She started to pack her things. She cried all the time doing it. She never had expected that she would like it here. But now things had changed.

See the devil on the doorstep now. My, oh my.

Telling everybody, oh, just how to live their lives.

She dried her tears when she heard someone coming. It was Jesse of course. He asked her help. She told him she couldn't do it "All my life I only lived to safe my brother. He was the reason I joined Genomex, Adam and the dominion. He was the reason I came here. Now I have nothing left anymore and it's time to go" Jesse looked at her with disbelieve. "When I came here the last thing I wanted was join a bunch of freaks in a cave. But after a while I found something I never that I would find. I fit in. You're a part of that now Lexa" With those words he left her to think

Sliding down the information highway,

Buying them just like a bunch of fools.

Time is tickin' and we can't go back. my, oh my.

Lexa sat down again and started thinking. She thought of her brother first. He would want her to be happy. Then she thought about her family here. The love she started to feel for them.

What about the world today?

what about the place that we call home?

We've never been so many,

And we've never been...so alone.

She laid her stuff back in the closet and ran to a car. She drove as fast as she could to where her family was and was right on time. She blasted the bastard and looked at Jesse "Sorry that I'm late" He smiled at her and she walked outside with them.

You keep watching from your picket fence,

You keep talking but it makes no sense.

You say we're not responsible, but we are, we are.

You wash your hands, you come out clean,

But you fail to recognise, the enemy is within.

You say we're not responsible, but we are, we are.

We are.

The ride home was lonely and made her think. Her bosses would be pleased she decided to stay but what did she want. Did she want a family a home. People to fight for or did she want to stay where she was. Alone and nobody who could hurt her.

One step forward making two steps back. My, oh my.

Buying pity on the bad boy's back for life.

She drove her car into sanctuary and walked to her room. She heard the others talk about why she came in that late but didn't care.

Lining up for the grand illusion.

No answers for no questions asked,

Lining up for the execution, without knowing why...

Brennan listened to Jesse and Shalimar for a while but noticed Lexa didn't came back. They had heard from Jesse that she had been packing her stuff but decided to stay afterall. A part of him hoped she stayed for him but couldn't hope for it after last time he had approached her. He walked to her room and knocked.

You keep watching from your picket fence,

You keep talking but it makes no sense.

You say we're not responsible, but we are, we are.

You wash your hands, you come out clean,

But you fail to recognise, the enemy is within.

You say we're not responsible, but we are, we are.

We are.

"Come in Brennan" Lexa said knowing it was him. Brennan walked in and sat down "Why did you decided to stay?" He asked her. Lexa rolled her eyes. "So he told you all?" Brennan just nodded.

It's all about power, by taking control,

Breaking the will, erasing the soul.

They suck us dry till there's nothing left.

My, oh my. My, oh my.

"I have no place to stay and my bosses want me to stay here" Lexa said. Brennan shook his head knowing she was lying to him. He had seen it in her eyes the moment he had walked in. He walked to her "I don't believe you" he said and kissed her first hard and demanding but then slowly and passionate. Then he pulled back and walked out of the room leaving a confused Lexa behind.

What about the world today?

What about the place that we call home?

We've never been so many,

But we've never been...So alone.
