Characters: Mitchell and Maryanne
When: Sunday morning
Location: Dining Room
Warnings/Rating: low/medium
Summary: Mitchell is still confused and Maryanne has her fun aka Mitchell meets a friend he doesn’t remember
Status: unfinished

It got less disturbing after you looked at it long enough. Grey, white and black seemed to get normal. And then you looked back. At the train, the coffee mug in your hand and everything was surreal once again. For Mitchell nothing made sense anymore. The nightmare had stayed. Nothing bad had happened. He couldn’t complain. But it was still wrong. Everything was wrong. There was still the voice that said that this couldn't be real. Yet, Annie had made him coffee. Somehow he thought that his presence unnerved her. Was it just because she remembered and he didn’t? Or was there something more? He wasn’t sure but was too afraid to ask. So he kept his distance and rather sat here on his own. His eyes wandered over the other people in car. Who else knew him? What did they know about him what he didn’t? Seconds, minutes, hours, days were missing. More than days.

Mitchell sipped at his coffee while his thoughts strayed to everything he could have done and every person he could have been.

	"Why are you telling me this? What has it got to do with my past?" The confusion in his voice was very evident now. So the people from her world had different habits, maybe they weren't even religious or didn't celebrate their birthdays... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Because I can only tell you so much about your past. I didn't know you, where you come from. Only what you've told me. So I can only answer some of your questions. Not all." And she wasn't even doing a good job with that. Because she wasn't about to tell him he was a vampire. She wasn't sure how he would take something like that. Or that Annie was really a ghost, George and Nina were werewolves...

"Besides, most of what matters to me is who you are on this train. And with me. If your a complete dick to someone else, then... I'm sure you have your reasons." Maryanne confessed. "I'm on team Mitchell all the way." And she meant it, no matter how silly it sounded.

"Uumm, thank you, I guess," he said, confusion growing even more. Why should he be a complete dick to someone else? Was it just a saying? Or had it anything to do with him? Jesus, everything was complicated when you didn't know who you really were. But someone being there for him, well, it meant something and the way she had said it sounded heart felt. "I would like to say the same about you but... well, I don't quite know?" He smiled apologentically.

Maryanne grinned slightly. "Well, I'd like to think as long as I was good to yours you'd be good to mine." In fact she almost knew he would be. And while she didn't quite care if he had her back, specifically, she did like to know he had Daryl's and the kids covered should they ever need it.

"If it helps. You're one of the people I trust most on this train. I know you'd never hurt me." Not emotionally or mentally. Physically she could handle.

	"I probably am, well, I would be right now," he answered. Jesus, this was difficult. Sometimes he felt like talking about a different man and in a way he was. This whole life was strange to him. But it was his or would be his, no, it already was. Her next words rendered him speechless for a moment. "I..." He blinked. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"This has to be the weirdest thing to ever happen to you, ain't it?" Second to becoming a vampire, but he probably didn't know that part. Not yet. And she wasn't going to be the one to break it to him.

She finished off the toaster pastry and sipped her drink. Giving her hands something to do more than she was actually hungry. "One thing you can answer for me, I guess, have you always gone by Mitchell, or have you gone by John before?"

Mitchell laughed. "Very true and it would still be an understatement." He couldn't imagine another possible situation that came even remotely close to this one.

The next question surprised him. So much that he was actually quiet for a second. "Err... John back in Ireland, Mitchell in the army." Most soldiers called each other by their surnames. He had gotten so used to it by now that being called John was actually strange.

Maryanne couldn't help but be pleased with herself. She did like making him laugh, it was such a... delightful sound. And she'd made him do it twice since sitting down. "Sometimes I wish I could make up words for the scale of the things this train does. And while I can, I don't want to come off any more crazy than I already do." She offered, hoping for another bit of laughter.

She smiled briefly. "I had never thought to ask before. I should have. And once you get your memory back I fully intend on asking you more about yourself." He was the sturdiest person she knew. The average bear couldn't kill him. And whether he knew it or not, it said a lot when she said she trusted him.

A soft chuckle was what she earned for her comment. "Hmm, currently I feel I can..." He searched for the right word and when he didn't find one, he made one up. "... outcrazy anyone of this train."

"Jesus! Why does that sound like a thread?" he asked, smiling. Her interest in him was a compliment really. You didn't want to get to know a person you didn't care about.

	Maryanne snorted mid sip as he made up his own word, as soda went up her nose. She clapped her free hand over her nose and mouth as she sputtered. "Here I thought I learned my lesson about drinking stuff around you." She admitted between coughs. Snagging one of the napkins she wiped her face. "Well, maybe it is." she teased with a devilish grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mitchell raised his eyebrows. "Err..." he said before leaning other and clapping her on the back to help her. "You all right?" A part of him was proud of making her laugh. People liked people who made them laugh. At least, he did. And who didn't like to be liked?

"I've got to admit that you know how to make a man feel reassured," he stated warily. He couldn't even be sure how much of a threat it could turn out to be, not when he didn't know what kind of questions she could ask, not when there were so many things he did not remember. It terrified him to no end.
