Letters from the Vault (Jean Luc LeBeau, Alistaire Shaw, Reiko, and Steve Coulson)

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

After the chaos Alisa caused, SHIELD had her sent away to "The Vault", a prison for super human villains in Colorado. Already, she had not done well while in custody. Her powers were currently being suppressed, but word about her quickly spread. She had to be sent to the infirmary six times within her first week at the Vault. Not because she started fights, but because other prisoners wanted to fight her.

If the inmates were not bad enough, some of the guards were worse. It was clear that without all that anger, rage, and hate flowing through her from her powers... she was weak and vulnerable. Alisa LeBeau was not cut for High Society, much less prison. God, she hated when Brooke was right about things.


For the time being, Alisa was placed into an isolated cell, away from the other prisoners. No doubt they would return her to general population within a few more days. Then the cycle would start all over again. By this point, she had stopped trying to fight back.

After all the pain and misery she had caused the people in her life, it was time she had done some penance and be on the receiving end of the chaos and hate she caused. She decided that if people wanted to hurt her, to make her suffer for their pain, so be it. She had done the same to people for years, and it was about time she felt what she had done to others.

With her hand shaking, she started to pen the first of several letters to be sent out of this place. Perhaps she would be fortunate and get a return letter from someone...

Alisa sighed reading Reiko's short note. She wrote back in Japanese, just as she had before.

Dear Reiko,

You did not fail me, because you did not know how ill I was. I did not tell you out of shame, so I had failed myself. You did nothing wrong, Reiko. Please, do not blame yourself.

My Father appears to fail to see how much pain I am in. He wishes me back to how I was, who I was. But that is not possible. He also fails to realize how sick I will become once my powers are blocked. He has refused to help get me find a care-taker due to more pressing obligations.

I am frightened. I do not know what will become of me. I am also waiting for a response from Alistaire, yet I also fear it. He is not one for weakness, and I have done nothing but ruin his life. I worry his words will be less than kind.

Please take care of Alistaire for me, Reiko. Even if he has venomous words or feelings for me, now... I still want him protected and cared for.

Regards,

Alisa LeBeau
Prisoner #1198B

Alisa-kun,

I should have still realized it. It is a black mark on my medical training.

I am sorry that you have family as blind as my *There's a smudge here, though the characters starting to say grandfather, she changed her mind on it* guardian was. If you wish I can talk with him. I am still your doctor after all.

He has been busy as of late. I can try to urge him to write you. Though there is the possibility that letters from him may not be going through. The ill marks from his family-line and all.

I will do as you ask to the best of my ability.
Reiko Tawakawa.

Dear Reiko-San,

At this point, I fear speaking to him would be akin to speaking to a brick wall. He desperately seeks the child he raised, without realizing that child is a monster. An unthinking, rage filled monster who acts on impulse.

It is good that Alistaire keeps busy. It is a distraction from the trouble I caused him, and will keep his mind sharp. He needs to stay at the top of his game.

My only request of you, Reiko, is that you find some placement or someone to care for me, should the shut down of my powers that I seek... leaves me too vulnerable to defend myself. It is all I have asked from my Father, and he has denied it. When I tried to bring it up to Steve, I could not. Even so, he insists he speak to me once I get out.

I do not understand why so many want the monster I can become, yet hate the person behind the monster. Forgive me, I must cut this letter short, Reiko. They will be turning off the lights, soon. Please, continue to take care of yourself and Alistaire.

Love,

Alisa LeBeau

I have some knowledge in that. But if you wish for me not to contact him, I will refrain. Eve though it would be beneficial to you if your family were to still have contact with you.

You did not cause all the trouble, his taking me in after the two of you freed me from Grandfather completely could not be easy on relations for him either. I still owe both of you so much for that.

I will do my best, I still have land my parents left me. If it comes to that, you will be set up with the best care in the countryside. Minimum staff who will tend to your needs as if you are one of my family.

Till we see each other again
Reiko Tawakawa.
