The Farmhouse

John Murphy

WHO Raven and Murphy
WHERE Edge of town
WHEN Sunday Mid-Morning
Raven and Murphy find the farmhouse WARNINGS Should be low

We remember those who got left behind

Four whole days of machines trying to come after them made a person cranky. Not that she wasn't cranky most of the time anyway. Between the pain in her leg and things that had happened before showing up in this place. A lot was on her mind. The machines that she could easily rip apart and put back together? They just made matters that much worse. Though, it didn't deter her love of machines.

Waking up to silence? It startled the ever loving hell out of her. More because she'd barely slept those four days and now she was worried. Worried that something else had happened. Or that something had happened to Murphy. He was a pain in the ass, but one she gave a damn about. The morning, if she was even paying attention, felt a bit off too. She also wanted the hell out of the damn apartment.

"Murphy?" Raven didn't want to go off looking for him, but she would if she had to. "I'm going to grab breakfast and head for a walk." Not something that she was known often to do in strange places, not alone. Though, that was exactly what she was banking on. Knowing Murphy and that he wouldn't want her to be by herself. Much less after the shit they just went through.

She didn't have to look far. He emerged from his room when she called out to him. He had jeans on, but no shirt. Not like he had to try and hide his scars from her. She had seen them all before.

"Give me five minutes to finish getting dressed and shit, and we can go out and get breakfast somewhere." He liked the restaurants. It was a novel concept for them, and he really liked going, sitting down, and ordering while someone else fixed the meal and clean up after.

The scars that he sported didn't really phase her any. Why would they? She'd seen them all before. Knew exactly where he'd gotten them too. Not that she wanted to think about that. In fact, she was going to put that out of her mind just as quickly as it had popped up.

"Sure, sounds like a plan," she tells him, moving over to a chair to sit down. By the time he does emerge back out she's leaning down and adjusting her brace a bit. After a moment, she gets up and gives him a slight smile. "You ready now?"

He rolled his eyes at her. "Yeah, come on." He knew she'd had to wait for him, but what did she expect? He had to get dressed. He didn't care if she saw his scars, but he was somewhat self conscious about them around other people. Even if they told a story of survival, because he was nothing if not a survivor.

"What's got you so eager to get up and moving this morning?" Usually she wanted to tinker with her electronic toys or something. Or at least that's how it seemed to Murphy.

"I really need a reason to get out of the house?"

Even with finding the lab, she still found time to move around. It was still weird that the lab was even there. Who in the world could fit something like that in an apartment? It shouldn't of been able to fit. The logistics of Vallo confused her, though. Which meant not bothering to even try to figure it out.

"Maybe I just need the fresh air and know that you do too."

"I didn't say you need a reason. Just that it seems like there is a reason." Murphy shrugged. What the hell did he know? Raven's motivations were a mystery to him. He shouldn't even bother trying to figure her out. He was doomed to fail, most of the time, anyway.

"Whatever. Let's just go." He led the way to the door, opening it, and stepping outside. He drew in a deep breath, just to be a brat, because she'd said that about needing fresh air.

"Maybe there isn't one," Raven tells him with a shake of her head. Maybe she just needed out of the apartment. Especially after they had things trying to kill them. Hell, she'd almost dismantled (or did to an extent) everything there that she could. She hated having things try and grab a hold of her.

When he steps outside she can't help but roll her eyes. Stepping out beside him, she makes sure the door is shut and locked. "Move your ass. I know you're hungry," she tells him, teasingly. Even as she says it, she walks past him and down the stairs. She knows all the walking is going to bother her, but she didn't really care.

He'd never admit it out loud, but he kind of liked when Raven took control. Because when she was barking orders at him, he didn't have to think too much. Unless he wanted to sass her. This morning he felt like being argumentative, but not downright ugly.

"Yes, ma'am," he said, and gave her a mock salute. Of course when there was food involved, he tended to be a little less ornery. He was grateful they had food choices here, instead of algae for every meal. He could do without that, ever again.

"Lead the way," he said, and gave a gesture with his hand to indicate she should do just that.

	She tries not to laugh, and fails, when he gives a mock salute. Murphy was someone that she managed to get along with. Even after everything that they'd been through. He'd shot her and they'd somehow managed to get through that. Which meant that they could get through this too. "Know where you want to go?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He'd shot her and left her crippled for life. Not that she let the injury to her back and leg slow her down. Once she got back on her feet, she was virtually unstoppable. And somewhere along the way, they'd found friendship, and she was one of his best friends now. He would have preferred Emori be stuck in Vallo with him, but Raven was absolutely his second choice, after all they'd been through. He was glad she was with him, and that they were friends.

"I'm not picky. As long as they have bacon." Bacon was something Murphy had recently discovered, and he really liked it.

Letting an injury hold her back wasn't something that she'd ever do. She was an independent person who loved to push herself. Sometimes a bit too much, but that was neither here nor there. A part of her wished that Emori was there with them, but she wasn't. It was just the two of them. She had a feeling that it would always be just the two of them.

"I'm sure that we could find something. I mean, there is a place with bacon in the name of it. We could go there and you could have all the bacon you ever wanted."

"Yeah, let's go there." With bacon in the name, it had to be good. At least that was what Murphy was banking on. He might even try something new. It wasn't difficult to find things they hadn't had before, considering they'd grown up on rations and then had to hunt and forage for their own food on the ground. Things were slightly better in Sanctum, but not by much.

As they walked, a vaguely familiar house seemed to crop up in the distance. Murphy figured it was just his mind, or his eyes, playing tricks. Seeing something that wasn't actually there. It was probably just a random house, painted the same pale yellow as the farm house Russell had built on Sanctum.

"Sounds good," she tells him with a bit of a smile. If it made Murphy happy, then it made her happy. There was no telling what they could or couldn't find in this place. Maybe some new things where food and clothes were concerned. The Ark, the ground and Sanctum all had their own things, but this place seemed to just have more.

It might have Murphy thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him, but Raven stops dead in her tracks. "...How?" Unlike him, she didn't think that it was her mind playing tricks on her. She knew that place inside and out. The flowers along the side. The way that it stood. Everything about it, she remembered as if it was yesterday.

	"So...you're seeing it too?" Murphy arched a brow. He looked from Raven to the house. "I thought I was hallucinating." Why he would hallucinate the farm house when he didn't even live in it was a mystery, even to him. But he hadn't really though it was real. Not until Raven acknowledged it. "So you think, I mean, is it really the same one?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm seeing it too." It was funny how he'd thought he was hallucinating, but she hadn't thought so. Then again, she paid more attention to the network than he did sometimes. Hadn't places and things been popping up quite a bit? Or maybe she was just reading too much into things.

She bites her bottom lip and stares at the farmhouse that sat in the distance," Only one way to find out. You can go grab food if you want, I can go check it out and you bring the food back here?" Not that she thought Murphy would go for that, but it was worth a try.

	"Like hell I'm sending you over there alone. We're going together." What if somehow, Russell was there with the house? No way in hell he was abandoning her to deal with that bull shit alone. He thought he heard a dog bark in the distance, but he shrugged it off. Probably his mind playing tricks on him, still. "We'll check it out, then go get food." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Fine," she says trying not to laugh at his reaction. If she was worried about Russell being in that house, she wasn't showing it. Last time she had anything to do with that house it hadn't had anything to do with Russell Lightbourne.

She hears the bark as well and smiles," Picasso." Hope you're ready for that Murphy. "Come on, you," she tells him before heading straight towards the farmhouse. If he thought she was going to wait up for him, he had another thing coming.

	"Pffft. I don't even like dogs." He liked Picasso, though, and they both knew it. Picasso was, in fact, the only dog Murphy had ever really known. And when she came barreling toward them, he knelt down to her level so she could run to him. He fell back on his ass, laughing as Picasso attacked him with kisses and her tail wagging furiously.
