[ Considering what John just revived from, that sounds horrible. But it wasn't going to impede his travel, at least. ]

Hope it's gone soon.

Yeah, I'm with Alphonse. He's slowly but surely getting better. I think he'll be okay, eventually. I'm trying to give him some time. Don't think he had a chance to process everything back in his world and it all piled too high here.

Thank you for talking to him. It helped.

I'm sure it will be.

It's good to hear Alphonse is improving, though. He hung up on me when we were speaking. Wasn't sure if I pressed too hard.

[Although, now that he thinks about it, he should probably go and listen to his own words on that. Later. Maybe in a few days.]

I know he probably wants to do something to help out. What are you two up to?

He needed someone to press hard. He said his brother would've punched him for thinking about giving up, so it's good he had tough love from somebody.

That would probably help. Wasn't sure when I should bring it up. We're in the new residential area, but we haven't gotten too far yet. Thought we could all use a couple days where we weren't right on the edge of death.

That's fair. I'm not sure how many of those we're going to get this time. Be careful in the new area. No maps mean you're more likely to get locked out.

Yep, we'll be careful. None of us have tents- not that it makes any sense that someone can survive out there in a tent overnight. Anyway, we'll post up if we find anything.

You heading back over to Sherlock? Or Mary?

I have other plans first. I'll meet with them after that maybe.

[Maybe because he doesn't know if he trusts himself around the people he cares about most.]

They found the high school, but there was supposed to be a church to the west, as well. Maybe see if you lot can find that.

[ Yeah, that's about what he thought. ]

Sherlock can handle you if it happens again, can't he? He'll notice faster, at least. Not that it's likely to happen again. This sort of thing seems to hit us entirely randomly.

Oh boy, a church. But yeah, we do still have to find it. I'm sure it'll be important to getting to the center of town- the terrible stuff always is.

Probably. Mycroft will be there to help, too.

[He's not going to mention that Mary definitely can. He might feel slightly less animosity toward Sylar, in spite of himself, but giving away Mary's status as a dangerous person isn't something he's ready to do for this man, yet.]

You're probably right, though. Wish it weren't that way, but these things do seem to follow a pattern. Good luck. If you lot find something you can't handle, don't feel afraid to turn back and let someone else deal with it. Just knowing where it is would help.

Good. Three able people is safer to have than two. It worked out okay with me, Al, and Steph.

Are you kidding? It'll be hard to stop us once we get going. But that's why I'm trying to make sure we have the breather. Like I said before, I don't think Al got too many of those in his home world, but we need it now.

Thanks, though. We'll be careful. Here's hoping we'll find the way out of this hellhole.

Best of luck to your Gabriel.

Or do you prefer Sylar?

[ He wonders if the question is meant to be as pointed as he finds it. Is this because he called him John at the start? ]

No, I'm actually preferring my real name, now. It's Gabriel. Although I suppose you can call me what you want.

All right. I'll stick to Gabriel. Give my best to Al and Steph.
