after he had escaped a night to be around the city, he had been put back in bed, bars on the window as he had thought, but he spent only other two awful weeks in there, time hadn't been bearable if Marie hadn't been there for him. But then after all of that time and several tests they allowed him to go back to his activities. He hadn't gotten the shock therapy still, Tessa, Kyle and Lilith were checking all of it to make it safe for Chris and also maybe if Felicity, clare and Mika needed it too. chris would be the test subject.

"home sweet home..." he said as he walked into his office in Principia, he knew that Charlie had been doing everything since he hadn't been there. her work, his work, which was totally unfair. so that day he got there super early, he had even skipped breakfast in the Mess Hall, he needed to know how was everything there, if he really remembered it as it was or if they had also changed that in his memory. He looked around and saw some pictures on the walls, one of his mother when she had been a young woman, before meeting Jupiter. then also pictures of him and Charlie together, the same one she had on her desk. also a pic of the whole cohort after the second titan War. the survivors. and also a picture of Marie and himself, it was a bit bigger from the other ones and on the best spot.

He sighed loudly and shook his head. he saw the pictures and he couldn't tell who was who. He knew who was Marie, after all she had being with him in the infirmary everyday. Then it was Charlie, he also knew her, she had gone to visit him, but the other ones... he didn't know them at all. So he went to the file shelves and grabbed file after file, he was going to memorize their faces again, their names. Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. He didn't even look at it. "come in..." he said as he read a file.

Marie had fixed what was now her new specialty: soufflé! Today was modelled after Reese’s cups. Chocolate outside and creamy peanut butter inside. She hoped they turned out okay. She packed them in her now well-worn basket with iced lemon tea in a thermos and turkey sandwiches. She took a towel and tucked it in to cover them so they looked nice, then put on her jacket against the chill. Oh, and this! She grabbed her favorite little teddy bear, hardly bigger than when she put her two fists together. Why hadn’t she thought of doing that before? She would lend it to him to keep him company until he was out of the infirmary! Maybe even give it to him. After all, now that he had solidified the plans that they were getting married – squee! – the little bear would one day be his too anyway. Perhaps… (more squee) would one day be passed down to their child! She hugged the little bear mightily as she thought about so wonderful a dream. But for now, she had to hurry before the food got cold.

She ventured out of the fifth cohort barracks towards the infirmary. She knew the route perfectly, could do it in her sleep she would wager. Except this time was different. She had a minor heart attack when she got to his room only to find… it was empty. Anxious, she hurried to find the nearest medic and asked in a rush about where he was. What if something happened to him? What if-…? All her naïve daydreams just 10 minutes earlier seemed to be fleeting away. No! She had to find him! Thankfully, she did manage to find a medic, and he did reassure her that he was fine. No, better, he was released and had left hardly thirty minutes before. So she set off to find him. She went first to his room and knocked on the door. Nothing. Oh, right, it was breakfast time. She checked the Mess Hall. It took a good few minutes to scan the crowd of legionnaires, but soon she found out he wasn’t there either. Maybe, just maybe, he was looking for her! A fresh smile on her face, she kept up the search.

Finally, she got to the principia, the only place in the military side of the camp left unchecked. Technically speaking, she wasn’t allowed in there. She was a nobody, no rank at all. She would have to be summoned. But… she had to find him. Gingerly, she knocked on the principia’s entrance door. Nothing. She opened it and peaked in where Remus and Jason’s desks were. They were empty. Then again, it was breakfast time, so that was normal, right? Everyone needed food. She glanced behind her to check the coast was clear, then went in. “Chris?” She made her way down the hall away from the praetor’s desks, fearing any moment she would be spotted. She would just have to be quick. After all, the praetors would understand if she really was caught. They had girlfriends too, and knew about worrying about the one you love. So she was normal…right? She got to the first cohort offices and saw a light under the door of Chris’. Curiosity and hope arose and she knocked softly. A voice came from the other side, a familiar voice. She opened the door and peaked in, still feeling out of place. “I, um… morning. I brought you food. I can just drop it off if you like… Oh, and… congratulations on getting released.” She smiled, but still looked nervous. What if those greyhounds came for her? Oh, she’d forgotten them! She bit her lip, now really nervous.

Chris knew that he for sure needed to go see Marie first thing after he was release, he knew that, but that was only Christopher Ashby feeling and thinking. He was in love and he wanted to be with his fiancé,... YES! fiancé. But he also knew that he wasn't only Christopher Ashby a common young adult, but also a member of the roman Legion, one of the Centurions of the First cohort too! so he had a duty, he should have attended to that duty as soon as possible. And as soon as possible really was as soon as he was released from infirmary. He hadn't been on his post for over 2 months and that was unacceptable for a leader. so he really hoped Marie would understand that and she didn't get upset at him.

He grabbed some of the files that were on his desk. the plae was clean, but also it seemed that it had been left the way he left it when he had been taken. Which he still couldn't really remember. How had it been possible that he, a centurion and not just that but a centurion of the First cohort was taken so easily?! did he fight? Had he given some trouble to the person who did it? He had the slight memory of mentioning the name of the kidnapper when he had been abduced. He knew the abducter, it was a she... he remembered it well. couldn't remember the face, but could remember her name. He only had to close his eyes and remember the scene with audio and some blur of an image.

Eve was her name, he remembered it because she showed up in his office one afternoon. she said she had seen something weird going on by the forest, some weird sounds there. That she was informing him because Remus and Jason weren't in the office and she thought it was very important for someone in power to know about it. He had told her he would go and check it, she asked him if he wanted her to call someone else to check with him, that it was dangerous. He had trusted her and told her to go with him... after that he couldn't remember anything. Huge blank from that moment till he opened his eyes in that cell.

His mind was brought back to present time when he heard his name. He looked up to the door and smiled when he saw Marie standing there. "Marie!, please ocme on in. I'm deeply sorry of haven't gone to see you first." he appologized, because he thought he needed to do it before anything else. "Thank you! I love your food, will you stay and eat with me?" he loved her foor and in fact his body growled as she talked.

Marie did not like doing this. This was awkward in the extreme. She was terrified that she would get caught for one. Then there was the part about what if he wasn’t even there and she was sneaking in against the rules for nothing? This was so unlike her. Then again, she’d stayed the night with him and that technically speaking wasn’t in the rules either. But it was different when she was with him. Doing it by herself was a whole new story. She felt like she was navigating a mine field or something, without any sort of metal detector. Was she overreacting? Probably. She just wanted to find him and be reassured by his presence. Maybe it was just her mood swings acting up. That was perfectly possible. Wouldn’t be the first time. Stress could do funny things to the mind. Maybe she was in the wrong field. What if she was too… all over the place and unpredictable to be a very good psychologist? What if people couldn’t rely on her? She really had no Plan B. This was her dream. But what if she wasn’t cut out to do it? Better question: why was she pondering all this now? She tried to shove it out of her mind, but it just kept nagging at her. She took a few deep breaths to keep herself calm. You can do this, Marie. That was it, keep it together.

That was about when the gods sent a lovely distraction by the name of Chris Ashby. It was exceedingly hard to be upset around him. Especially, she wouldn’t admit out loud for the sake of his self esteem, after what happened to him. She felt like she had to be strong for him. All that time when he couldn’t remember who she was when she visited him… it had killed her inside, but she kept it covered. She only cried when she was alone. That was her rule, especially now. He needed her to be strong. So strong she would be. She gave one last shove in her mind and pushed the sour things out of the way and smiled brightly as she slid in the door and closed it after her. “Oh no, it’s okay, really. I’m just glad you’re out! Freedom! Must feel great, huh?” She really hoped she sounded authentic. Why was she worrying about this right now? Gods, Marie, get it together. She set the basket on his desk in one of the few open spots and took a seat. “Well, I’m glad you offered, because in all honesty, I really had no intention of leaving you alone once I found you,” she teased. “Unless, you know, you needed to be alone. Looks like you have a lot on your plate…” His desk was so crowded with paperwork. Poor guy. If only she had the authority to take some of it off his shoulders for him. She would gladly look through boring paperwork all day if it helped him out. She just lacked the rank to do that.

wird how things worked. chris had always been a workholic, since the very first day he got into the legion, a cute 9 year old kid working too hard, day and night, working until he had to be taken to infirmary due over working his body. But he knew he had and could be better than others, he was after all the son of Jupiter and well, maybe in the myths his father had always been described as a moody laid back god. He was always upset at other gods for not following rules and he broke them, But that didn't matter, because He was the king of the gods and that meant something, no matter what. so he had always needed to be the strongest, the one that everyone needed to fear and respect. No always worked, but after some years, he hoped that they at least respected him and considered him a good leader.

He hadn't let himself a moment of distraction, only a girlfriend and it was for two reasons, he had loved Charlie and she was in his cohort. But then nothing, he tried to focus on his duties and his responsabilities. Until he met Marie Winters... she had been something totally opposite to what he was. She liked to enjoy life and the people around her, she considered the weak not to be weak because each one had a strength within them. Since the moment he met her she had been a total confusion for him. But because of that and many other reasons he had fallen for her. He loved her more than his life and he hoped she loved him at least a bit of that ammount.

Marie had been the only one, besides his best friend Erich, to convince him to leave for a while his many responsabilities to enjoy a bit of the life that he had. Erich was his best friend and they did different things than the ones that he did twhen he was with Marie. She had taught him to enjoy his life in a very different way from Erich's activities. So being in that moment with Marie was good, he needed her to be around him everyday. He loved to be in different cohorts, so they had things to talk about by the end of the day, but he loved to be with her too. "it's ok, really. I need some break now if not I'll end up electrocuting the files." he laughed and looked at her. "thank you for coming, so... lunch! what is in that magic basket of yours?" he asked and leaned over the desk to kiss her lips.
