Alex lies in her bed at Snow's house. He wants to keep her close to keep an eye on her. The torturing and trackerjackers venom have been making her memories go fuzzy, the good ones. Alex has been trying hard to not think about them but it's so hard. Alex keeps fighting to venom the best she can. Johanna and Alex have a vent under their beds where they talk to each other.

"Alex, Snow is trying to turn you into a weapon." Johanna whispers through the vent.

"What?" Alex asks looking through to see the other woman.

"Turn you into a weapon. To kill Katniss. I overheard them talking."

"I'm not going to do that." Alex whimpers.

"You might not have a choice. Just pretend you hate her and want to kill her."

"Okay."

Hearing movement, Alex crawls out from under her bed and lays down on her bed awake.

As the door opens, Alex sits up and stands letting the Peacekeepers take her to either Snow or the Training Centre.

Arriving to Snow's office, Alex sits down.

"So, what are your thoughts about the rebellion?" Snow asks.

"They need to lay down their weapons. They are going to lose." Alex states knowing the camera is rolling.

"What are your thoughts about Katniss Everdeen?"

"She's the head of the rebellion. Which means she needs to die and I want to be the one to do it." Alex speaks evenly.

"Not if I get Johanna to beat you." Snow smirks.

"Whatever you say."

In District Fourteen, Katniss starts to cry. Alex is now all skin and bone, thinner than she already was. It might be too late to save her and Johanna. It has been three months since the Games. Katniss has talked to the President of District Fourteen and he has agreed to get Alex and Johanna out as soon as he can. That was a week ago.

Katniss has contacted Snow from District Thirteen begs to have Alex and Johanna returned and she would give herself up, but he turned her down. Alex's brown eyes, that were full of life, is full of anger and darkness.

Alex's family allows Katniss to live in Alex's room with Prim and her mother while Rue is with her family living next door to them.

Getting taken to the Coin's office in District Thirteen, Katniss sits down as Coin informs her that she has made a team to go and rescue Alex and Johanna. During the three months, Katniss has been to District Twelve to find it in ruins and to District Six to only have the hospital destroyed and she and Gale, her best friend, to destroy the two bomber planes and the people on board.

Katniss agreed to be the Mockingjay.

On the screen, Katniss recognizes one face, Gale. Katniss has told him a million times that she wants to save Alex.

"District Four knocked the power out of the Capitol. This is our chance." Beetee explains, "We need you to talk to the other districts and don't stop."

"I'll do it." Katniss jumps seeing Finnick with Haymitch, "I know Snow's secrets."

"Katniss?" Katniss' head snaps to the screen to see Alex being broadcasted from the Capitol, "Get everyone to drop their weapons. This is the final time we are going to ask. If not the Capitol will go full out. Everyone will die just like they did seventy-five years ago." Watching Alex close her eyes, anger fills her brown eyes along with fear, "One last thing," Katniss hears Alex gulp, "You'll be dead by morning."

Katniss' eyes widen watching Peacekeepers appear on screen and beat the crap out of Alex. The camera moves with Alex's knocked out, or dead, body. The screen goes black.

"Alex!" Katniss screams as tears fall, "Get them moving, get Alex and Johanna."

"There are bomber planes coming our way." Heavensbee speaks to Coin, "Guess Alex heard something and gave us a warning. Even if it cost her, her life."

"Get everyone to the bunkers." Coin orders. Finnick nods and grabs Katniss' arm taking her down.

"They aborted the mission, for now." Finnick speaks softly to Katniss.

"Alex could be dead." Katniss cries, "It's my entire fault."

"No it's not." Finnick shakes his head, "I should have taken Alex with me when I ran to get Johanna."

"Why didn't they get her? She was near me."

"I don't know." Arriving to the bunker, Katniss joins her family and Alex's. Soon Rue and her family join them with Finnick and his girlfriend, Annie.

"What's happening?" Max asks scared. District Thirteen and Fourteen have one giant bunker under their districts. Before Katniss or Finnick could answer a bomb drops shaking the bunker on the right side. District Thirteen.

With Alex, she is getting beaten and injected with more trackerjacker venom. Knowing what is too come; Alex's brown eyes turn yellow. Attacking the man, Alex strangles him until he stops moving and breathing. Ripping off his tag with his information, Alex unlocks the door with it before attacking the single Peacekeeper. Kicking his helmet in, Alex grabs his gun and shoots him in the chest.

Sneaking to the rooms, Alex kills the Peacekeepers guarding Johanna's room. Unlocking Johanna's door, Alex walks in keeping her foot in the doorway.

"Alex." Johanna breathes from hiding under her bed. Rushing forward, they leave the room and Johanna grabs the two guns. Looking at Alex's eyes, Johanna looks at the fading yellow, "You were injected." Nodding, Alex doesn't answer, "Let's get out of here." Johanna knows Alex is shut down and won't talk until the venom wears off a little.

Because they are in the Training Centre, Alex and Johanna head to the top floor knowing they can't escape from the exit. Killing the Peacekeepers in their way, they keep moving. Only the emergency lights are on.

"The force field might not be up." Johanna whispers leading Alex up the stairs. Running all the way up to the top floor, they approach the force field, "There's a ladder here." Johanna hisses. Picking up a rock at their feet, Alex tosses it at where the force field will be, nothing happens.

Quickly climbing onto the ladder, Johanna pulls Alex up just as the lights and force field turn on. Climbing the ladder, they make it to the top of the Training Centre. There, on the top is a hovercraft.

"We have to hijack it." Johanna looks to Alex who winces at the word, "Let's move." Nodding, Alex and Johanna climb on and kill the two Peacekeepers guarding the entrance. As Johanna drives it, Alex pushes the Peacekeepers bodies off and lets them fall from the sky. Closing the door, Alex walks to the front and buckles herself in next to Johanna.

Co-piloting, Alex has the weapons part of the hovercraft.

"Fire, backyard." Johanna looks at Alex who actually spoke.

"Set fire to Snow's backyard?" Johanna smirks as Alex grins back. Flying them over, to Snow's home, they send bombs before quickly getting out of there.

Leaving the Capitol, the 'giant tankers' as Alex named them, set fire at them. Johanna dodges most of them before they get hit. Crash landing in the forest, Alex is the only one awake. Wiping the blood from her ear, Alex moves to Johanna and silently gets her out. Just feet away, the hovercraft explodes sending them both flying. Crawling into an almost invisible cave, Alex drags Johanna inside. They are in bare feet. Alex knows they have to be careful.

Staying awake until Johanna awakes at dawn, Alex watches where the sunrises. Seeing Johanna going the wrong way, Alex whistles for her attention. Pointing in the direction of her home, Johanna sighs and follows, knowing she won't know where they will be until they get there.

On their journey through the forest, they saw Peacekeepers and killed them. Stealing their boots, the two of them make a detour. Stopping at District Twelve, they go into Victors Village and grab some food.

Hearing a meow, Alex turns to see an orange cat. Picking it up, Alex immediately gets purring.

"Seems like he likes you." Johanna smiles her first smile since the Games. Nodding, Alex grabs a bag from the door and slips the cat inside. Picking up a live mouse, Alex puts it in the bag for the cat, "That's gross."

Rolling her still yellow eyes, Alex washes her hands and Johanna cleans the blood off her.

At the district fence, Johanna throws a stick at it to check if it's on or off. Slipping through, Johanna follows Alex knowing she knows where she is going.

Four days later, they arrive to District Thirteen.

"Is this where you wanted us to be?" Johanna asks Alex. Shaking her head, Alex keeps them at the tree line but keeps moving.

Drinking the last of their water and sharing it with the cat, Alex spots a mouse cross her path. Catching it, Alex drops it in the bag for the cat.

Eating some berries that are good and not dangerous, the two of them carries some with them to keep their strength up.

Slipping down a hill of mud, Alex lands in the water below. Johanna follows suit but lands on her feet while Alex is on her knees.

Good thing too, because there is a bomber plane circling District Thirteen.

"Fuck." Johanna whispers as Alex pulls her down and they start moving.

Stopping for the night, Alex and Johanna lay down watching the lights from the bomber planes. Alex clipped the bag closed so the cat can't get out.

Overnight, they hear movement, making the two of them wake and hide behind trees. Seeing a Peacekeeper, Johanna shoots them killing them.

Grabbing Alex's hand, they take off running. On day eight, Alex stops running with Johanna. Slipping through the fence of District Fourteen, Alex sneaks them into her old home before she won the Games. Even though it's all rubble, Alex moves everything to get to a wall.

"What are you doing?" Johanna whispers holding up a board to get right behind Alex. Suddenly the wall slides open. Slipping through because it doesn't open all the way, Johanna follows suit. Watching the wall close, Johanna hears Alex's quiet whistle.

Hurrying over to her, Johanna and Alex walk down a hallway, stairs and into a room.

"What is this place?" Johanna asks.

"Home." Alex answers so quietly Johanna barely heard her.

Suddenly, Alex rounds on Johanna. Seeing Alex's bright yellow eyes, she knows the venom has activated. Alex moves to attack Johanna, but, Johanna pins her to the wall and knocks the gun out of Alex's hand. Johanna is stronger than Alex so when Alex's eyes go back to brown, Alex starts to cry.

"You're okay." Johanna whispers pulling Alex into a hug, "You're okay. Take me where you wanted to go."

Watching Alex look around them, Johanna gently wipes Alex's tears away.

"We're in your district." Johanna reminds her. Gently taking Alex's muddy and bloody hand, Johanna starts the leading, "We need to get doctored up."

Arriving to a four way crossing, Johanna feels Alex take a right, leading her once more.

"Mom." Alex whispers.

"Is she a doctor?" Alex nods, "Lead the way."

After two hours of walking around, they arrive to the hospital of District Fourteen. Two guards caught them and took them there but they had to stop to rest most of the time. Getting laid down on hospital beds in two different rooms, Johanna informed the doctors they were injected with trackerjackers venom. They are put into safe rooms. Alex keeps the cat close, which calms her. The doctors took the bag away but allow Alex to keep the cat.

After the tests and clean up, Alex lays on the bed petting the cat calmly.

"Alex?" Looking at the door, she spots her family. Giving them a sad smile, they rush over to hug her gently.

"Be careful." The doctor advices. Telling Theresa what happened and what they know, Theresa looks at Alex in shock. Alex is restrained to the bed besides her right arm.

"Max, come here." Theresa orders when she sees Alex's eyes turn yellow. As the family backs away, the doctor runs over to restrain her other arm, but she starts to choke him. Jerry quickly jumps into action but Theresa pulls him back, "Get Johanna."

Doing just that, Justin runs out to only return with Johanna.

"Alex!" Johanna shouts earning Alex's attention. Alex releases the doctor to only get pinned by Johanna, "Alex, Snow isn't here. No one from the Capitol are here to hurt us."

Blinking, Johanna keeps repeating herself until Alex's eyes go back to normal. Watching Alex start to cry, Johanna moves to leave, but Alex grabs her wrist, silently asking her to stay.

"I'm right here." Johanna promises. Restraining Alex's arm, Alex allows her to. As the doctor gets up, he pushes Johanna away and slaps Alex hard in the face, "You fucking asshole." Johanna growls shoving him into the wall and punches him until Jerry pulls Johanna back.

Hearing Alex scream, Johanna immediately turns to her to see Alex throwing herself side to side.

"Alex." Johanna speaks gently, "Alex." Johanna knows it's the venom. The doctors put some type of liquid into their bodies to fight the venom.

"Hurts!" Alex screams as Theresa forces Justin and Jerry to leave with her and Max. Max is sobbing.

"I know, Alex. It hurts me too." Johanna speaks to her. Watching her doctor come in with another bed, her bed, he gets her to climb on and get restrained as well. Injecting Johanna with another dosage of the liquid, Johanna stares at Alex as she sobs.

Before the doctors could blink, the trackerjackers venom starts to come out of Alex's mouth, nose and ears as Alex starts to choke. Johanna's doctor releases one of Alex's arms and gets her to roll and cough it up onto the floor.

"Is that going to happen to me?" Johanna asks through her pain.

"No. Alex has more venom than you do." Her doctor speaks.

Rushing with Rue and Justin, Katniss arrives to the hospital of District Fourteen. Justin leads them to Alex and Johanna. Looking through the window, they find Alex calm and running her fingers through the cat's fur.

"Buttercup." Katniss whispers, "She found Buttercup."

"Buttercup?" Justin asks.

"That's my sister's cat."

Suddenly they watch Alex's eyes land on them. Katniss' eyes widen seeing them semi brown and semi yellow.

"What's wrong with her eyes?" Rue asks.

"I don't know." Justin frowns.

"I'm going in." Katniss states heading inside. Immediately Buttercup hisses, "I'll still cook you, Buttercup." Katniss responds. Looking to Alex, she finds tears in her wife's eyes, "Hey, Honey."

'Katniss'. Alex mouths.

"I'm right here. Thank you for finding my sister's cat." Seeing Alex nod, she has a frown on her face, "Would you like to keep him?" Watching Alex grab the railing, Buttercup jumps off the bed in time for Alex to go into spasms, "Alex!"

Taking a step forward, Johanna's voice stops her.

"It's the venom." Looking at Johanna, Katniss' tears fall.

"What venom?" Katniss asks.

"Trackerjackers venom. Snow was trying to turn Alex and I into weapons."

"What?"

"It didn't work. I got Alex to remember that the enemy is Snow."

"He tortured you both with the venom?"

"And he got the Peacekeepers to beat Alex to the point she couldn't really breathe. He kept saying you are the reason why her family is going to die. I keep reminding her, it's him telling lies."

"Why doesn't she talk?"

"She can, but the venom makes us lose abilities. Like mine is I can't think clearly from time to time. Alex's is she can't speak all of the time. Or that she doesn't know who will hurt her or not."

"Can it be fixed?"

"The doctors are trying. They keep using the antidote. Alex needs more then I."

"Does she trust me?"

"She doesn't trust anyone. She tolerates me. On a different note, Alex and I bombed Snow's backyard. It was Alex's idea."

Grinning, Katniss looks at her wife to find her calm and sleeping. She knows Alex will be okay.
