Needless to say, Drake was having a bad night. He was kept awake by the vision he had, of Christina. He got up out of his bed, and walked along the hallways of the institute. He poked his head in the door where the insomniacs spend their time, he walked past Christina's room. The door was wide open, with nothing out of place. He walked into the bedroom, Christina wasn't in there, which made him sad, cause he really needed to talk to someone. As he was leaving, he noticed the picture in a frame on the nightstand. It was the duplicate he'd drawn, of Christinas locket picture.
"Come home soon Christina, I miss you" He said, not seeing the person standing at the door.

"I missed you too," Christina said softly behind Drake.
She was dishevelled, with holes in her suit, from acid, no knee on one leg and the other ripped to shreds.

Drake turned, to see Christina at the door. He ran up, and hugged her tightly before stepping back and asking "What happened to you? Looks like you've been through hell and back."

"Well, I had an acid shower, shot my own knee and had my leg ripped to shreds," Christina said with a slight smile.
She led Drake to her bed and sat down on the edge of it.
"I think I need to tell you what I've been doing," she sighed. "It was meant to be a surprise for you, but today I almost died too many times to count..."
And so Christina told Drake about the missions she had been on, but she guiltily stayed away from the subject of Jake. It would break Drake's heart if he knew.

Drake listened intently to the story which Christina told him. "I'm coming on the next mission, whether you like it or not. I haven't been in on a mission since I was diagnosed."

"Okay," Christina said simply. She was too exhausted to argue.
She gazed at Drake lovingly, a small smile tugging at her lips.
"Thank you," she said softly. "For... sending George and Horace."
She leaned forward and gently kissed Drake.

"That's alright." Drake said, then he pulled Christina in for a kiss. "I love you. I couldn't bear it if you died." He said, between kisses. He kissed her very deeply.

Christina just let Drake kiss her. As per normal, he heartrate increased tenfold. But tears of guilt began cascading down her cheeks. She hated this. Guilt. It was a horrible feeling.

Drakes lips disconnected from Christinas and he wiped the tear from her cheek. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Christina shook her head but she didn't elaborate.
"C-can you stay here tonight?" she sniffed. "I j-just want to b-be with you..."

Drakes head started throbbing yet again. "I dont think I'll last the night, I have one hell headache. I'll stay here as long as I can, ok?"

Christina shook her head.
"You should get that fixed first," she said. "Go and talk to Horace. He's still awake."

"Ok" Drake said. He walked out of the room and returned in a minute. His headache was all gone. He had gone to see Horace.

While Drake was gone Christina changed into her pajamas and began brushing her teased hair. After tying it up, she lay back on her bed, thinking about the last mission. Why did she have feelings for Jake? Would they go away? Of course they would. She loved Drake too much.
She shook her head and smiled when Drake returned.
"I love you," she whispered as she cuddled up to him.

"I know you do" Drake replied, in a calm and serene voice. "So, do you know why those reapers came? It was a very unsatisfying experience, being eaten?"
