Alpha Jax
“If that’s what you really want, I’ll go.”
“I’ll take her,” Jax pipes up, coming up beside me and offering me my shoes. This guy is suddenly really fucking helpful.
Theo gives a nod in agreement, and I just go along with it. I slip my shoes on and walk with Jax into the complex, following him down the winding corridors to the infirmary. Once inside, Jax lingers as a squad member named Jessie checks me out and cleans my wounds. By the time she’s finished, they’re basically healed- they just look like deep scrapes. In another hour, they’ll be completely gone, like they weren’t even there.
