Looking back on the past nights, Lexi wondered if anything would ever change with Rorschach. Probably not... she thought to herself, getting off of her bed and walking to her closet. Kirk walked over to her and nuzzled her leg.
"Sorry, Kirk. I guess I'm letting this get too into my head." she said. Kirk tilted his head making Lexi giggle. "You're right, boy. C'mon. Let's go visit Dan. Maybe he'll talk to me." she said, picking up Kirk and walking out of her apartment building.
Rorschach was sitting in Daniel's basement, writing in his journal.
Rorschach's journal
Haven't seen her in days. Not really important. Daniel worried. Hasn't seen her either. Seems to like her but shouldn't jump to conclusions. Anything happens to her, Daniel gets upset.
He closed his journal and looked up to see Daniel walking downstairs with Lexi, the two of them talking quietly.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do about him?" Daniel asked, not really willing to do anything at all that had to do with getting Rorschach to "change"
"I just want you to talk to him. Get him to understand how he acts makes people feel bad." Lexi said.
"I don't mean to sound rude or anything but, Rorschach will never change unless brainwashed which, I think only you and Jon have the power to do, together. I wouldn't try though." Daniel said. Lexi sighed, petting Kirk.
"Well, thanks." she said, softly. Daniel hugged Lexi.
"Don't worry. There are other men out there who will like you." he said. Rorschach left out the back way instead of going up and out. "You want some coffee?" he asked, starting back upstairs.
"Sure. Kirk would like some milk." Lexi said, smiling. Daniel sighed.
"Alright." he said.
Rorschach walked outside for a couple of minutes, patroling the streets as usual before going to pay Daniel a "formal" visit. He got to Daniel's house and kicked open the door, as usual.
"Rorschach, can't you just knock?" Daniel asked, practicly used to Rorschach busting down the door.
"No. Takes time." Rorschach said, walking into the kitchen. When he got in there, Lexi got up.
"I think I'll go." she said, starting to leave.
"Don't. Need to talk to both." Rorschach said. Kirk glared at Rorschach as if to say "Let her go".
"I said I think I'll go. So let me go, Rorschach." Lexi said, glaring at him. Rorschach let go of Lexi's arm, letting her walk out. Daniel sighed and sat at the kitchen table.
"Lexi's pretty upset about the things you do, Rorschach." Daniel said. "She just wishes that you would at least think of her a person instead of...something else."
"Why?" Rorschach asked.
"Why what?"
"She cares? Doesn't matter what I do. Does things I don't like. Don't like her." Rorschach said. "Don't like being around her."
"Why Rorschach? Just because she likes you? She's just trying to get you to understand!" Daniel said. "I would like to, at least, see her once. Smiling like she used to without having someone like you make her end up crying in the end." Rorschach ignored what Daniel just said.
"Don't need to be around her. Bad. Like myself. Women not equal. Never will be." he said, starting to leave. Before he left he turned to face Daniel. "Never will be sorry." he added, leaving. Daniel sat quietly at the table, thinking to himself. He never really understood why Rorschach thought the way he did or did the things he did. He really thought of him as a friend but he really just wanted all of his friends to just get along.
Lexi dropped Kirk off at her apartment building before she left to 's lab.
When she got there, she sat in a corner, waiting for him to be done fixing one of the machines.
"What brings you here, Lexi?" he asked, shrinking down to normal size.
"You should know already." Lexi replied. closed his eyes.
"I see. Well, there's not much that we do from here. Rorschach goes on with his life." he said.
"Dan said that if we combined our powers we could brainwash him but, I don't think that'd be the best thing to do." Lexi said. nodded. "So what can we do? Just sit back, wait and hope that he changes?"
"Well, we could do that or just let it go." Lexi sighed and got up.
"Thanks for the advice. I think I'll just wait and hope." nodded.
"You go do that. I will keep you updated."
About 2 days after that day, it was the beginning of the end. The Comedian had been killed.
"That's one." Lexi said when she found out. Kirk was sort of depressed and tried to commit suicide twice before Lexi locked him in a cage. Lexi didn't attend the funeral. Instead, she stayed hom, sick. Daniel visited her when the funeral was over.
"You need anything from me? Jon? Anyone?" Daniel asked.
"No...I just...I just want someone to take care of Kirk if anything happens to me." she said. Daniel held her hand.
"Nothing will happen to you, Lexi. Don't think like that. I'll take you to Jon so that he can help you out." he said.
"That won't be nescesary, Daniel." said, showing up almost instantly.
"Oh, Jon." Daniel said. "I have to go for a while but I'll be back." he said, leaving. Jon sat on one of the chairs in the bedroom and looked at Lexi.
"You worry too much. You'll be fine if you rest and don't go anywhere." he said. Lexi rolled over onto her side, looking out the window.
"I just want someone to like me. For once in my life." Lexi said.
"Someone will like you. That much I can tell you. The rest is for you to figure out. I'll let you see who will like you, Lexi. You'll like him. I promise you that much." he said before dissapearing, before she could ask him who it was. Lexi sighed but quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom to throw up her early lunch.
"Ugh.." she groaned, sliding down the wall. She layed down, her face against the cool tile floor. She felt so misserable.
When Daniel came back, he looked through the apartment room for her until he got to the bathroom and saw he asleep on the floor. He picked her up and carried her to her bedroom then carefully laid her on the bed.
The day after Edward Blake's death, Rorschach decided to investigate the apartment. He soon found out that Edward Blake was the Comedian and left, soon going to visit Daniel and inform him of the death and what he thought had happened and who was after them.
