(Un)Welcome Guest at the Pier

It had been a few days since Arcade had managed to kidnap Mary. She returned to the Pier, to her home with the Future Foundation with an unfortunate guest in tow. Someone many people did not want about, and if they did, it was to talk poorly about her.

Alisa LeBeau was Arcade's unwilling puppet. He hacked into her neurological implants, forcing her to kidnap people and force them into a game of death. She had moments where she could take control, but it was barely enough to prevent people from getting hurt. She sacrificed her own intelligence, her own being, to stop Arcade. She would not be allowed to be used to hurt anymore innocent people. It was perhaps the only self-less act, besides saving Reiko, she had done.

After the Future Foundation scientists got a hold of the implants, they determined that it was impossible to save them. Brand new ones would have to be build and that would take time. Until then, Alisa would need to live without them... and no one could expect the state she was in once they were removed.

Her actions were childish, showing a curiosity for everything. She smiled and laughed in a genuine way, not like how she used to for show. Though confined to a single room, she did not dwell. She thrived.

There was no brooding, no pain, no bumbling when it came to socializing, and no sadness at being left alone for too long. The scientists were befuddled by her actions, until a CAT scan of her brain was taken. The bullet that had damaged her brain did not do as much damage as people thought. It was only the implants themselves that had done the real damage. Alistaire Shaw had been tricked into doing more harm than good when it came to his bodyguard, and he never knew it. A sad irony.

For now, Alisa sat in her room, her eyes glued to a TV. From what Mary heard, Alisa never watched TV, she never got a chance to, and when she did... well... Ryan could attest she would try to cover her tracks about her lack of pop culture. She appeared mesmerized by some play that was being televised, her arms about a pillow, hugging it as the show went on.

Forgive Mary, she's in total baby-squee (silent squee) mode.

He glanced at the visitor Mary brought in. At least the implants did not have a color that would remind Jacob of very bad things.

"I was just checking on who was using the gym," Remi said without appreciably lowering his voice. He thought maybe his daughter might like the rumble of Daddy's voice in his chest. "Since there was no training scheduled that I was aware of."

His brow furrowed at how thick that accent was. He made sure his own light Creole accident didn't get any thicker when he spoke next.

"Laying around makes patients weaker, so you should get exercise. As long as your doctors know where you are. Remi deNamor, leader of the Imaginauts and new father."

He glanced down at Guin. "She's keeping Alexa and I on our toes. I'm walking around so her mommy gets some time to sleep."

"How's Alexa doing?" Mary asked. "She taking well to Mommy-ness?"

"She's doing well. It's a big adjustment for both of us." He carefully shifted the precious bundle in his arms.

"Right now, both of us could do with more sleep, but Alexa can't escape into a sound-muting tank like I can." Thus, why he had the baby with him out and about. He was staying away from any and all biological labs.

Yep, Mary was definitely taken with the baby.

"You do know you've got at least two other people who can look after her if you both need some z's, right? I mean me and Jacob. Not so sure about Ryan. Mister Movie Star and Baby Poop probably don't mix."

"We've also got two grandmothers who'll step in, too. But we wanted to try it for ourselves for a bit." Remi was counting Mary's aunt as one of the grandmothers. He was trying to be indepedent, but eventually they would probably be calling in help soon. Remi would like to sleep in a bed with Alexa again.

"Well, I won't stop any more recovery. Get well, Miss Lebeau." The Atlantean gave a nod to the visitor and started to leave with his daughter.

"Captain Fish Lips?" Mary laughed. "Yeah, he's all right. Daddy-hood seems to be working well for him. We didn't even exchange insults."
