I DO NOT OWN BLINDSPOT

Providence, Rhode Island.

It was around 10 PM when Alexander made it to Brown University. He was nervous about returning, about putting Avery in danger, but Mallory had to be stopped. He hailed an Uber and was taken to Brown. As he stepped on the campus, he was reminded of the blissful months that he had spent with his sister and her friends. It was a life that would never be his and Alexander had finally accepted that. He arrived at their old apartment and knocked. A few minutes later, Avery opened the door.

"Alex!" She exclaimed as the siblings held each other tightly.

"I've missed you so much Avery." He replied as they hugged long and hard. She let her brother in as she made coffee.

"How's mom doing?" Avery asked as they both sat down.

"It's complicated." Alexander replied. He wasn't really in the mood to tell Avery that their mother had been buried alive. "I had to come back to makes sure you're all right."

"I've been doing ok." She assured him. "Billy and the others keep asking about you."

"I'm sure they do." Alexander replied as he began pacing around. "Mallory is still here."

"How do you know?" Avery asked fearfully.

"She called me, she wants to finish this once and for all; and quite frankly...so do I."

"Alex, you don't have to do this." Avery begged as she squeezed his hands. "We could leave together, just you and me. We could get out of Brown, out of the country; we could go to Germany or somewhere else. We could have a new life...please Alex." He held back tears as he caressed his sister's cheek and kissed her forehead.

"You have no idea how badly I want to do that Avery, just pack everything up and just go somewhere else with you. No mom, no Mallory, no FBI or CIA...but this is the only life that I will ever be able to have. I realize it now. I have a target on my back Avery, I will always have a target on my back and I need to make sure that you don't get hurt because of it." Before Avery could reply, Alexander got a text on his phone. It was Roman. He wanted to meet up, but he didn't say why.

"Alex..." Avery started with tears in her eyes.

"I have to go, Roman wants to meet up. I'll be back later, I promise." He turned and exited the apartment, leaving his sister crying on the floor for her brother.

CAN ALEXANDER EVER HAVE A NORMAL LIFE OR IS HE DOOMED TO BE A KILLER FOREVER? REVIEWS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
