Let's review what happened the previous chapter.
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.
Lexi layed in her bed, tiered as hell. She was done trying to fight the truth. She let it go and went back to her old self. The person who she was before that meeting. She visited Daniel every now and then but ignored him when he brought up anything about Rorschach. She was over him. Or so she thought.
One night, she went to Daniel's house to talk to him.
"Hey, Lexi. Um, now's not a really good time." he said when he answered the door.
"Why not?" Lexi asked, wondering what he was hiding.
"Daniel, someone there?" a very familiar yet annoying voice asked from inside.
"Oh, ok, well... I'll just go then. Bye." Lexi said, walking away.
"I'm sorry!" Daniel yelled after her, only to get ignored. He sighed and closed the door, walking back inside.
"Who was that?" Rorschach asked him.
"Lexi." he replied, sitting at the table across from Rorschach. "She seem's...different from before. She's changed."
"Blaming me." Rorschach said. "Obvious."
"No she's not. And I'm not either." Daniel said. At least, I believe so... he added in his thoughts.
Lexi went to Jonathan's(Dr.M's) lab, hoping that he wouldn't bring up the topic of her now least favorite person.
"Hello, Lexi. What brings you here?" he asked.
"Nothing. I just need someplace to be." she replied.
"Away from Rorschach you mean?" he questioned. Lexi frowned.
"I don't want to talk about him..."
"You know, you can't avoid him all the time. People are going to end up talking to him with you and sooner or later, you're going to crack. I just don't want to have to stop you from killing anyone who does that." he told her. "At least talk to me about how you're feeling or go talk to Daniel."
"Do I have a choice?" she asked.
"Yes you do but, make the right one." Lexi thought for a moment before leaving to go and talk to someone who she thought would at least listen to her and not tell her what to do. She went to Adrian.
Rorschach sat in the kitchen of Daniel's house, writing in his journal.
Rorschach's journal
Girl ignoring topics about me. Interesting enough. Not investigating. No need to. Daniel worried about her change. Not like she used to be when she met me. Blaming me comes to mind. Daniel says not true. Doesn't blame me for change. Not willing to try and fix it. Never going to. Unimportant to me.
Daniel was sitting in the basement, checking out Archie. It had been a while since he put on the costume. Since he had been inside of Archie. It had also been a while since he had seen Lexi truly happy. He wanted to do something for her that would make her happy. The only thing he could do was hug her and tell her how much he cared. To him, it seemed like she was getting tiered of it. The last time he talked to her, she ignored him and wouldn't even come in the house. Of course he wasn't blaming himself or Rorschach or her.
"Daniel, Laurie at door." Rorschach called down the stairs.
"Let her in. I'm coming." Daniel said, getting up and starting up the stairs. He walked into the living room where Laurie was sitting on the couch. "Hey." he said to her, walking over and sitting next to her.
"Hey." she said. "I thought Lexi would be here." she added.
"Well, she's not only because Rorschach is here. She's still pretty angry with him." Daniel said. It was the truth and Rorschach knew it. Everyone did.
"He's always ruining things. How can you stand to be around him?" Laurie asked, frowning.
"Laurie, I'm not blaming him for how Lexi is acting. I never did. He's just being himself. I'm not going to force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. Especially if it puts me or anyone I care about in danger. You know how he gets sometimes."
"You mean all the time." Laurie corrected him. Daniel shook his head.
"I don't know why you think he's a terrible person." he said.
Lexi arrived at Adrian's place and went inside to find him. She found him in his massive dining room, eating.
"Adrian, I'm sorry to intrude but, I just needed to talk to someone." she said, walking over to him.
"No need to appologize." Adrian said. "Please, take a seat." Lexi sat down in the seat next to him and looked at him.
"Do you think that I made the right choice?" she asked.
"Well, if you're talking about what I think you are then yes. He wasn't worth worrying so much over, Lexi. You should just find someone else to think of. Like Daniel or someone like that. You know both he and I care about you and we don't want to see you get hurt by some ungrateful brute who would only end up using you." Adrian said, taking a sip of his wine.
"I know that. You both have expressed your feelings and said a lot of things that I've taken into consideration but, why would Daniel be interested in me? He has Laurie, remember?" she said.
"That's true. But, there's always me." he said, looking at her. There was something in his tone that made Lexi want to say yes to his offer but she thought twice.
"I don't know." she said. "It seems like a promising offer but, I'm not really interested." Adrian nodded.
"I understand. It was just an offer and you can still think about it." he said, starting to eat again.
"Thank you for talking to me and I will think about it and let you know as soon as possible." she said, getting up and leaving.
On her way home, she thought about what Adrian had said to her, enjoying the thought that she could actually have someone close to her. Someone to love her. It made her smile. She decided to go over to Dan's house, weather or not Rorschach was there or not.
"Hey, come in." Daniel said when he answered the door. Lexi walked inside and took off her coat. "What's up?" he asked her.
"Just wanted to stop by. It's not like I have anything to do." she said, walking into the living room. "Is Laurie here?" she asked.
"Yeah. She's in the basement." he replied. Lexi went downstairs. When she got down there she heard arguing between Laurie and Rorschach.
"Hey, Laurie." Lexi said, inturupting them.
"Lexi! Hey." she said, walking over to her. Rorschach 'hurm'ed and then shoved his hands in his coat pockects before heading upstairs. "Where were you?" she asked.
"Over with Adrian." she replied. Laurie gave her a questioning look.
"About what?"
"Well, he made me a really good offer and I don't know what to do so I told him I would think about it." Laurie sighed.
"Well, if you really like him say yes. Other than that, that's all I can tell you." she said. Lexi hugged her friend and smiled.
"You've always been a wonderful friend, Laurie. Thank you for everything." she whispered before letting go and leaving to her apartment. When she got there, she saw Kirk laying on the couch, motionless. "Kirk?" she questioned out loud, walking over to him. When Kirk didn't move, Lexi picked up the body, now lifeless. She didn't cry or anything. She took her dead pet to Daniel, making her upset that she had to go back and forth.
"Lexi, what happened?" Daniel asked.
"Kirk's dead." she replied, holding out the body. Daniel was shocked.
"Do you know who did it?" he asked, taking the ferret. Lexi shook her head no. Daniel sighed. He felt pretty bad for Lexi, seeing as Kirk was the only pet she had ever owned. "I'll find out who did this."
"Don't waste time." Rorschach said. "Adrian did it."
"You don't know that." Lexi said, glaring at him.
"Hurm..gullible." he said. Lexi walked over to him and punched him in the stomach.
"Shut up." she said. Rorschach grabbed Lexi and put her in a choke hold.
"Rorschach, put her down!" Daniel said.
"Hit me. Deserves to be punished." he said, starting to choke Lexi.
"I said put her down, Rorschach." Daniel said again.
"Make me." Daniel didn't move, not knowing what to expect. Rorschach just threw Lexi into a wall, causing her to fall unconcious. He walked out of the house without another word. Daniel rushed over to Lexi and rolled her over, starting to check and see if she was still alive. The he noticed that when Rorschach grabbed her, she didn't kick or try to get loose. It made him think twice about how much she changed. Was she trying to get killed? he asked himself, picking her up and carrying her to the guest bedroom. He took Kirk's body to so that he could get rid of the body and not have to worry about what Lexi would do with it.


That was the end of yet another interesting chapter. This is going to be longer than I thought it would be.
