Alex had been thrown into anguish right from the moment he’d seen Madelyne’s post on his communicator - disbelief, denial and then anguish and guilt as she had responded to him, reaching out like she’d done back when they were in Australia and back in the days of the Inferno. It had been so many years ago and he’d spent so long making peace with his brother and coming to terms with it himself, but then he’d just crumbled ( ... )

Madelyne kept her perfect mask of misery on place when she opened the door. The tears, the pain, all of it so easy and still so close to the surface of who she really was. Tears on her cheeks, and waved Alex inside.

"Look out for the glass, I... I broke a lamp."

His heart instantly went out to her; she looked so miserable and crumbled and broken. The last time he'd seen her, she'd been the perfect picture screaming fury and defiant arrogance, a far cry from now. It was hard to keep his suspicions straight in his mind when she looked like this.

"Maddie. Scott told me what he told you. I wish there was a way to cushion the blow."

Alex stepped carefully around the glass, then looked around for a way to clear it up. No way was he going to leave the mess here like this, where she could hurt herself on it.

He looked so worried, so concerned that she nearly paused. She could remember, watching him sleep, considering sparing him from what she had planned, but in the end... He was just someone else who would leave her, hurt her, and ultimately betray her. She gave a derisive chuckle and moved to the apartment's lumpy sofa, pulling her legs up under her chin.

"Of course he did. Then he told yo to be careful and not to trust me because apparently I'm going to go crazy and kill you all. Sorry, try and kill you all. Perfect. Just perfect. I don't even get a chance this time, do I?"
