A/N: I had the HARDEST time with Alexx, not that her character is hard, but because there are so many words that don't fit. I hope it wasn't bad, y'all.
Disclaimer: I only own the paper that this is written on, the rest belongs to the man. (Unless I made up the quotes, then they're mine)
-&...&-
A- Anonymous "The truth is nobody really knows anybody" "Could you find it… do you think you could forgive me?" "If it were you would you?" Tears welled up in her friend's eyes as she turned and left. It hurt her to say that, to see her best friend turn and leave, but she knew in her heart, that indeed they were all strangers trying to get along.
L- Lambent "Hey Alexx I was wondering if you could help me with something…" "Anything baby." "Thanks Alexx, you've been helpful." "Well I do try honey." "Hey Alexx I was wondering if I could confide in you…""You have a gift Alexx." She looked at her dad quizzically "People want to be with you, want to seek your guidance, hear what you have to say. They want to tell you their secrets, just be sure to keep your words short… always listen, everyone has a story to tell that will come out when it wants to… I love you baby" the heart monitor went still, and she cried, never forgetting his words.
E- Equity "Well I thought it was the right thing to do." "Justice served" "Well someone needs to be nice, it's my way of balancing the universe."Of all the things in life, she found it most important to be fair, because there were so many things that happened that were not fair, that something had to balance it out.
X- Xerxes "I want to be like him some day" "Xerxes?" "Yeah, he conquered the known world in his time." She chuckled at him, kids, they always wanted to do everything when they grew up "I'm sure you will be as great as him when grow up honey." She said, knowing to build up dreams instead of break them.
X- X factor "Whenever you enter a crime scene there is always an X factor that you must figure out." "One thing to remember is that the crime has an X factor to whoever the person is. If you can figure out the person, you can figure out the whys of the crime." She did not agree with her old boss in many ways, but she did find it true, that the victim was a big factor in the crime. Which is why she took her job so seriously, to be sure that each victim was figured out, so there were no surprises.
W- What did you do to deserve this? "He got what he deserved." There was a long pause as her mother calculated how to say her words "Few men get what they deserve, if everyone got what they deserved, no good person would ever die young." "As long as you remember that each person deserves a second chance." "No one deserves to die, not like this, why did this happen?" She cared about the victims, each person deserved their respect, even in death, something she learned long ago.
O-Outcome "What do we do now?" "Well for now we just wait and see what happens next" "I'm sorry you have to go Dr. Woods." "I'm sorry too, some things just didn't work out." "Always remember, don't leave a situation so soon because you don't like it, you've got to stick it through, through the end." No matter what the circumstance, she would always stick by her family. No, she wouldn't leave them, ever.
O- Onus "But why do I have to do it" "Sometimes you have to do things you don't like." "But I don't wanna" "I'm sorry honey, it just the way it is sometimes." "I will bear this burden." "Even if it's not yours to bear?" He smiled at her "Someday you'll understand that your burden is my burden." At that instant she fell in love with him. She knew that sometimes you have to bear something you don't want for those you love.
D-Detachment "H, you gotta let him go sweetie." She said, looking down at Speed's body, at that moment, she felt so out of it. "He received a gunshot to head… lucky he survived…" in her heart she was glad that she didn't have another friend end up on her table with a toe tag. Out of all the moments in her life, she couldn't remember ever feeling so distressed, so scared, so detached.
S- Studious "This has to be perhaps the understatement of the century, but Mrs. Woods, your essay, and GPA is exceptional, application accepted." "There are some things you have to devote yourself to, just be sure it's the right thing." "I find myself going back to the world of science, where things are exact."

Anonymous- something she said in one of the episodes where her best friend had had her husband killed. I thought it would have a big part in her life, so I added it (I blame plot bunnies)
Lambent- meaning light, effortless, and brilliant, or to glow softly. I always saw Alexx as the type of person who people go to for their problems, and I kind of showed why.
Equity- meaning (basically) to be just or fair, she always struck me as a person who liked being fair.
Xerxes- ( I had a hard time with the Xs so bear with me) Xerxes was a Persian King, who conquered Greece and other countries. It also means "The ruler of heroes" So I figured her kid would want to be someone big and strong, and added it.
X factor- (Again I couldn't really think of much) but it basically means the unidentified factor, item, or person. And it seemed to fit how she did everything so thoroughly.
What did you do to deserve this?- one of her most said lines I think… but it shows how she respected the victims instead of treating them like "another dead person"
Outcome- Alexx seemed to stick by her guns, so to speak. She would follow through with something, no matter what the outcome was.
Onus- meaning a burden, esp. a disagreeable one. A little something on how she fell in love with her hubby. And how she helped her family (and team) with their problems, either directly or indirectly, by helping them with their burdens.
Detachment- It was how she felt after she saw Speed dead, and about Eric's shooting.
Studious- (I was running out of ideas) meaning to be devoted to study. It shows how she always leaned on science, the how and why of things, how she was devoted to such.
