[Backdated April 28th] Frustrations - OTA

Alec found himself walking down the hall tense and unable to really form a coherent thought except a lot of swearing directed toward Peter. He hadn't expected to punch the kid - to really punch the kid. Even when they fought in the parking lot, Alec had held back. That punch - he had meant to hurt Peter. And then after, when he had he was pissed off that Peter hadn't defended himself.

In his walking as he dwelled on the events that just transpired, Alec saw the vending machine. That damn vending machine.

He closed the distance between him and it and then Alec began to punch it. Not the glass - that would be too easy - Alec punched the metal. The metal dented with each hit, his knuckles getting raw and bloody quickly from it.

"I can understand that." He thought of Max and even Joshua and Logan. "I even miss some of the idiots back home. " Like Sketchy.

"Anyone I should be keeping an eye out for on check-in days?" She tried to have a sense of who people might be looking for, or at least know enough about them that she'd know what direction to point new arrivals in, but she couldn't go asking people if they had a barcode tattoo when they showed up.

He thought about that. Alec never actually assumed anyone from back home was going to show up - he wasn't that lucky in life.

"Max. She'll be easy to spot. Kick ass like you and a lot of the other women here. She'll look annoyed if you meantion my name." Or roll her eyes, probably. "Joshua is part dog. Hard to miss him. And Logan... Well, he'll be in a wheel chair and look pretty dire all the time."

Easy to spot didn't help much, since it wasn't a physical description, but there probably weren't that many women running around with the name Max who would know an Alec and want to smack him. Part-dog, she could imagine, even if she was probably imagining wrong. Logan, in a wheelchair, probably she could manage that without being an insensitive ass.

"All right. Got it."

He looked at her. "If you could pick one person from home to show up, who'd it be?"

"I would've picked Yana," she said without thinking about it. "And if it were anyone at all right now, probably I'd pick Lara." Her hand went to the jade pendant on the cord around her neck. "I know she's trying to get back here." To me, she didn't say, but Alec was adult enough to interpret the gesture and the sentiment.

"I don't know that I'd wish this place on anyone from home, but Ray's had a pretty shit life. She could use a breather. This place would be good for her. Ray...she's my best friend. Rachel."

Alec noticed where her hand went when she spoke about someone named Lara. He hadn't realized Kitty was into chicks and now have to refrain from making a 'that's hot' comment. He could feel Original Cindy smacking him over the head from his own world.

He paused only momentarily when she mentioned Rachel before he nodded. "Best friends are important." Especially ones named Rachel.

"Yeah," she agreed and elbowed him again gently. "But new friends are important, too."
