Michonne couldn't believe that Rick actually knocked him out. His spill about having a community seemed legit, as well as having mentioned following them for quite sometime andleaving out water for his group in the middle of the street for his group. Rick more than likely felt like an idiot not being able to protect his family from any threat that presented itself.

Rick went through his bag as his people tied Aaron up. He picked out some applesauce and crackers.

"The applesauce was for your daughter I figured she was hungry." Aaron was waking up, "Being out here with a baby and all, food has to get scarce."

"How many more are out there?" Rick bit out, he was in no mood for chit-chat. Rick opened the jar of applesauce and examined its contents, and taking a spoon full trying it first, before feeding Judith..

"Just me and my partner, we are part of the group that looks for other survivors. We think that you guys would be perfect for our community. " Aaron stated.

Michonne stood idly in the back, carefully observing the man, no one could be trusted. Aaron was a clean-shaven man and his clothes seemed to be fresh. So there must be some validity to what he was saying. She wanted to at least give this thing a chance.

Rick's group was be a bit more skeptical. Michonne chopped that up to a few bad run-ins with the wrong people. She left a few communities because of that, people lie to you and use you for their own personal gain. That's why she was alone now, being alone had its benefits until it didn't.

Aaron now turned his attention towards Michonne, he seemed surprised to see her amongst this group. "Its you.." Michonne just glared at him, "We had been following you at first, the way you move with that sword is a sight to behold, if I must say," Aaron sounded genuinely impressed by her skills, "We lost track of you a week or two back."

"Hey!" Rick snapped at him, "You don't need to talk to anybody else but me right now."

"You were following me?" Michonne said completely ignoring Rick's last statement. She began moving closer towards Aaron. She bent down to where she was face to face with him, "Answer me?" her voice was at a low growl.

"Yeah…" Aaron gulped, he was more nervous of her than Rick. "We spotted you killing off fifteen roamers by yourself with your sword, we thought you needed help but by the time we reached where you were at you were gone." Aaron babbled as he tried to explain the situation.

Rick listened closely to what he was saying, he was clearly impressed by what he heard about her. The more information he got about her, the more intrigued he became. Since the moment he first met her he knew there was something special, her presence radiated power. That scared him, he had never in all his years of living met a woman like this.

Carl eyes were wide as Aaron talk about her, her katana what's the coolest thing he had ever seen. Now hearing that she practically dismantled a small herd of walkers, made his interest in the mysterious lady grow more. Carl had been wanting to talk to her from the beginning but his father had forbid it, so he faked sleep and listened to her and Glenn's conversation, just anything he could learn at this point.

Michonne was always on her toes how had she not noticed him and his partner. She couldn't change the past but knew to be more aware now.

"This community, I'll go with you. If I don't like what I see, I'm out." Michonne said, she had to at least see what thing was about.

"What about the rest of your people?" Aaron asked quizzically.

"I'm not with them, if they decide to go that's on them." was all she said before moving from her spot passing Rick, who seemed a bit hurt from her statement but hid it well. He, couldn't take that chance with his people. They've seen too much, lost too much to just risk it all on a fantasy land.

"We're good." Rick finally said, he heard a chuckle come from behind him. He knew it wasn't anyone in his group. "Is there somethin funny?" His question was clearly directed at Michonne.

"Yeah you" Michonne said with a smug look. Rick turned and took a few steps towards her to where both of their faces were inches from each other. She hadn't back down instead taking on the challenge of facing him. Rick's group watched as two powerhouses went face to face.

"You would stay out here, trying to make it in a place like this, because you think you are protecting your people?" Michonne said giving Rick a half smile.

"Yeah I would." He could feel her body heat connecting with his.

"Then you're the biggest idiot I have ever met then." She said the tone in her voice completely changed.

"Excuse me?"

"You are what's going to get your people killed." She said shaking her head.

"You don't know what we've been through out there!" Rick was trying to justify his decision

"You don't know what I've been through." Michonne said not raising her voice, clearly unimpressed from the passion in Rick's voice. "Listen it's not my decision on what you do, but I would advise you to at least think about it." was all Michonne said while looking at the members in his group and her eyes eventually landing on both of his kids.

Rick followed where she was looking at, Carl and Judith. Michonne moved from her spot and went back to her corner. In Rick's mind this was for his kids, not endangering them in something that he wasn't sure about. Michonne really had him questioning his judgement, something no one has been able to do in quite awhile.

"Rick don't tell me you are really thinking about this?!" Carol said, her, Daryl, and Glenn were all discussing what they should do.

"If there is a chance that this can work we should look into it." Glenn had already had a firm stance on what he wanted to do, giving Maggie a home was one of his main priorities at this point,

"I have to consider all options here," Rick said.

"Rick what about Terminus, and Woodberry? Those places were 'safe' too." Carol was adamant about staying on the road, She couldn't risk putting her people in danger again.

"I know that, but if this is real, we could be changing our whole lives, making a future for ourselves." Michonne had really gotten to him.

"That I agree with."Glenn butted in,

"I see you made up your mind." Carol had deduced that as much. Michonne may be a problem if she can make him change his mind at a whim. She had so much power over him and she didn't even know it.

"Besides, if the worst comes to it, we can just take the place from them.:" That was something they all agreed with except for Glenn.

"I like your sword…" Carl had finally getting enough courage to talk to Michonne. His dad was still outside talking with Carol. Daryl and Glenn.

"Thank you," Michonne wasn't that surprised to see the kid come and talk to her. He had been watching her just as much as his father.

"You're welcome…" Carl couldn't believe he was being shy around Michonne right now, after all of the stuff he has seen and done. Carl didn't even know how to keep the conversation going at this point. "My name is-"

"Carl, I know what your name is." Michonne said while giving him a small smile. "Glenn told me a little about you." Carl began to blush.

"He did!" Carl blurted out, sounding a little too excited and nervous at the sametime. Michonne eyes went wide a bit, and she tried put her hand over mouth to keep from laughing too hard.

"Yes he did, he told me you had a thing for comics.." Carl looked as if he was going to kill Glenn, that isn't something you tell someone off the bat. " I like them too," Michonne said finishing her sentence.

Carl had the biggest grin on his face at that point, "You do?"

"Oh yeah that and candy." Michonne was smiling now, "A big cat is the way to any girls heart," Michonne was enjoying this. She saw something in Carl, the future, humanity….Andre. For a bit she felt like her old self again.

"For real, a big cat is the way?" Michonne nodded her head.

"How do you think Superman got with Lois?" Carl belted out in laughter. Rick and the others came rushing back into the barn thinking something was wrong, only to see Carl red with tears from laughing so hard, and next to him was Michonne smiling at Carl with so much joy in her eyes. That weird feeling was coming backup in him that he had to suppress once again. He needed to get back to business.

"Everyone listen up," The attention was solely on Rick now, as Carl had straightened up as well, "We're going, we're going to Alexandria." Everyone nodded in acceptance to what he was saying. Rick looked over at Michonne, she seemed surprised from his change.
