Michael sure as hell didn't know why he did it. He was acting on pure instinct. Sure, he may not have cared much for Dex as a person but he was a team mate. So him jumping in the way of that yellow goop that called itself Despotic was a natural reaction.

And now here he was. Despotic wasn't like his "ancestor" Despotellis, in that he was some giant germ. He was worse for what Michael was: he was a power stripper. Before he knew what happened, the Matrix petered out and withered like a flame under an extinguisher. At least they were in a place that didn't kill him right away, but afterwards Michael found out something horrible: The Matrix was weakened to the point of near uselessness. At any point he could actually use it, he couldn't make anything more than a coin without a mind splitting head-ache.

He had to "retire". Not even 25 and he had to give it all up. There were some who tried to console him. Ash...God did Ash try. But it was hard. As much as he showed contempt for the Cape Crowd, he had accepted it so much that it left a hole when he couldn't do it.

So now he was Michael Choi. Bitter old man at 30.

	"I think it's time I lock the two of you into a room until you work all of this out," Dex said. "This on again off again crap isn't working for the two of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Between you and Petra Ash and I would be spending most of the year in that damn room. And I know we got shit to work out." Another bite. The place must have just got their meat fresh in. Hasn't been this good in a while. Michael pops open his beer. He hadn't been one to drink when he first met Dex, but habits can be contagious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah well you think that there may be a reason for that?" Dex said. He shook his head. "You two are retarded for each other. Just go up to her and work it out. If I had a girl like that I'd do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I never shoulda introduced you to Mallrats. I know that man. I do. In fact..." Michael reaches into his pocket. He had a small ring made. It was a little crude but it's nice. "I was gonna ask her, but we had a fight last night..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know I should. It's just...she got hurt again. It's not too bad, but I don't wanna go in there and make her think I'm rubbing it in. Because...that's what we fought about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's going to get her. Accept it and help her with the recovery." He tilted his head. "In what way are you rubbing it in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Because *thats* what we were fighting about. I wanted to stay around, use those first aide skills I picked up because I wanted to help, and she said because I'm..."

To show, he pointed at himself.

"..that I'd get hurt. To which I said back 'And you're not Little Miss Immortal. You're gonna get messed up to and'-"

Michael takes a breath and guzzles down his beer.

"I didn't get to finish. She sent me back here and when I caught the news she had been injured."

	For that, Michael is going to give Dex a look. "When the hell did you get so damn articulate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
