Returns 4

Louis quietly groaned as he entered his and Clementine's shared dorm, he quietly noted that Clementine was already asleep, with Rosie curled up on the foot of the bed. Shedding his coat, Louis climbed into the bed and wrapped himself around Clementine and let sleep claim him.

Meanwhile, down in the grounds, Lee looked over the ground.

"It surprising how much she's grown." Said Kenny, getting Lee's attention.

"I wanted her to be with you." Confessed Lee, "We didn't know Omid and Christa, and, well, I think we all saw Christa's reaction to Clementine."

Kenny grunted, before looking over at a Walker head, "What do ya think of that Louis boy?"

"I think he's nice." Answered Lee, getting a huff from Kenny.

"I think he looks a little gay." Said Kenny, crossing his arms, "But, if he makes her happy."

Lee let out a laugh, before sighing, "And all that shit with Lilly and her faction. What do you think Clem plans on doing with her?"

"Fuck if I know." Answered Kenny, glancing back towards the gym, "I still need to talk to Duck. I, I'm not sure if he'll cope."

"Going by how he was talking that girl's ear off," Remarked Lee, sending Kenny a smirk, "I think he'll adapt."

Kenny frowned, but nodded, "I was hoping Kat or Sarita would've been with him."

"Doug, Mark and Chuck aren't back either," Said Lee, "I don't now about Molly or that Jane character Clem mentioned."

"I hope not." Snorted Kenny, "The bitch told Clem and me that AJ was dead and tried to frame herself as a victim."

"What about Luke's reaction?" Asked Lee, "He didn't seem to take it well."

"He and Jane decided to knock boots while Alvie was being born." Scoffed Kenny, "I'm glad Clem only saw them after they'd finished."

Lee hummed, spotting Carley walking around the perimeter with Violet, before he looked up at the stars.

Clementine yawned, before gagging. Hastily clambering over Louis, Clementine grabbed a bin and threw up into it.

"Ooh," Groaned Clementine, as Louis shifted himself into a sitting position, "this fucking sucks."

"I heard the end is far worse." Commented Louis, getting a glare from Clementine.

"Why am I attracted to you?"

"Because I'm irresistible."

Clementine was prevented from retorting by throwing up again. The door burst open, with Violet holding a broken lamp above her head.

"I heard something fall."

"It's just Clem's condition." Said Louis, as Clementine retched.

"Oh." Violet lowered the lamp, "Right. I'm going to bed now."

Louis frowned as Violet left, "It's morning."

"She had the nightshift." Said Clementine, her voice echoing in the bin.

"Oh, right." Louis groaned, "Do you want a hand with your leg or are you okay?"

"I'll be fine." Clementine waved him off, "Can you watch the new guys, please?"

"Okay." Louis nodded, before grabbing his coat, "Do you want AJ to give em a tour?"

Clementine gave him a thumbs up as she dry-heaved.

Wincing as he stepped outside, Louis hopped down the steps and walked towards the Gym, he saw the girl a little older than AJ running around, as Willy opened the gate for a small group of survivors. Groaning, Louis redirected himself towards the gate.

"Thank you," Said a red hair woman, "we were travelling for months, and we were attacked. It's a miracle we found this place."

"Who're you?" Asked Louis, silently kicking himself for not picking up Chair-les.

"Oh," A brunette turned to him, "Are you the leader here?"

"Not quite," Louis looked over them, he counted seven of them, "but I talk with her regularly."

The group glanced at each other, before a man in glasses spoke in a thick Russian accent, "We are travellers."

"Yeah, I gathered." Dismissed Louis, glaring at them, "Names. Now."

"Right, I'm Shel," Said the brunette, "this is my sister, Becca," she pointed at a woman with black hair around his age, "Vince," an Asian man, "Wyatt," A white man with a thick beard, "Russell," A black man, "Mike," another black man with part of his left ear missing, "Bonnie," the woman with red hair, "and Arvo." The Russian man.

Louis eyed them, "Okay, I'll speak with some people and put you up in the Gym."

"We can help." Said Bonnie, eagerly.

"Yeah, but we need to check all of you for bites." Dismissed Louis, turning around, "AJ!"

Bonnie and Mike froze as Louis called for AJ.

"Yeah?" Asked a Ten-year-old, appearing from a bush.

"Take them to the Hospital," Instructed Louis, "I've got to check on some things."

AJ nodded, before looking at the group, "You need to leave your weapons here."

"Why?" Demanded Becca, glaring at AJ.

"Because we don't trust you."

Bonnie carefully put her rifle on the ground, slowly followed by the others. Arvo looked around the community, he glared at some of the people, just as Bonnie gasped.

"Luke!" Mike stared as Bonnie ran over to the man they'd seen drown, "How?"

"I don't know." Answered Luke, "I'm sorry, but I'm a little busy right now."

Bonnie watched as Luke walked away and pick up an axe.

"You done?" The group looked at AJ, who didn't seem impressed, "Because you all need to be checked."

Clementine looked at the new arrivals, she didn't care for most of them, but she kept her eyes on Arvo, Bonnie and Mike.

"Aren't these the guys that left you and AJ to die?" Asked Louis, glaring at them.

"Yeah," Said Clementine, her eyes fixed on Arvo, "my only issue is that cunt."

"Why?" Asked Violet, looking away from the new arrivals.

"Because," Clementine pulled the collar of her shirt to the side, revealing a circular bullet scar, "he fucking shot me."

Violet glanced as Arvo, putting her hand on her knife when she saw Arvo take a step forwards. AJ was less subtle in his warning, opting to point a gun at Arvo. Arvo gave Clementine a hate filled glare, his face contorting into a sneer.

"Put him in the basement." Said Clementine, as Louis grabbed the Russian, she turned and looked at Bonnie's group, "Have you been checked for bites?"

"Duh." Responded Becca, Clementine looked them over.

"Go to the Gym, we'll talk with everyone there." Clementine got up and walked out the door.

"This way." Said Violet, gesturing for them to follow her.

Lilly looked up as someone was shoved into the basement. It was a Russian man, since he was screaming at the doors as they shut. She heard her Dad grumble about the man.

"I KILL YOU!" Screamed the Russian, "I KILL YOU, CLEMENTINE!"

The doors opened and someone threw a violin at him, before the doors closed again. The Russian screamed himself hoarse, before collapsing to the ground. The doors opened, and Lilly saw Clementine limp down the stairs. She didn't spare the Russian a glance and instead looked at Lilly and Larry.

"So," Her voice was neutral, "we're trying to figure out what to do with you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Demanded Larry, glaring at Clementine.

"Lilly," Clementine nodded at the woman, "attacked, abducted and killed members of the community here. Some, myself included, aren't sure if she can be trusted."

"So," Sneered Larry, stomping up to Clementine, "Lee can be trusted, but my daughter can't?!"

Clementine glared up at Larry, "You're a walking liability, if I were you, I'd watch my temper."

Larry sneered, as Clementine looked at Lilly, "When you're let out of here, you will be watched at all times, you won't be allowed weapons and any tools you use will be done under the supervision of senior members of the community."

Lilly huffed, before nodding. Clementine sighed, before gesturing for them to follow her, "Thankfully, one of the people that came back was a doctor, so we might have your medication."

Neither said anything, as Clementine stepped over the breathless Russian.

"What did he do?" Asked Lilly, looking at the back of Clementine's head.

"He shot me."

"Deep breath." Instructed Clarissa, listening to Larry's heart, "You said you've got angina?"

"Yeah." Grunted Larry, as Carlos checked Lilly over.

"Cough." Lilly followed Carlos's instruction, "Hmm."

"What's wrong?" Asked Clarissa, looking over at them.

Carlos readjusted his stethoscope and repeated his command, frowning, "It sounds like she has the beginnings of a chest infection."

"Hold on." Clarissa glanced at Larry, before going over to Carlos and Lilly and repeated Carlos's tests, "Do you smoke?"

"No."

"Have you been around people who've smoked?"

"No."

"Your lungs have a slight wheeze to them," Said Carlos, after a moment, "It might be nothing, but I'm going to try and run some tests."

"Thank god for the Commonwealth and their scientists." Muttered Clarissa, going back to Larry.

Outside, Clementine watched as wall extension was lifted up, she thought she heard Pete yelling at Nick, before she spotted Luke walking towards the Admin building, she knew he wasn't happy about Jane, given the stink eye he'd been giving Kenny.

"Ooh." Clementine looked down and frowned as Omid and Christa's daughter, Kenlee, was looking over the edge of the balcony, "Can I help?"

"You're three weeks old," it didn't escape Clementine how weird it sounded, "once you've learnt to look after yourself, I'll bring it up with your mother."

"Can I help dig the hole?"

"No."
