We Are Bulletproof

For now. I know Jack.

Go help Marge, I'll be fine here.

I love you Jack. Be safe!

Jack

Jack you have to help her! I know Marge is a miracle-worker but... what if something happens?

Not-not by herself?!

How long will it take her to find it?

What would we do without her? *shakes his head but is smiling too*

So this fruit... so... so once she gets it... *smile brightens into a hopeful grin* I can come back...?

Really? What's she up to?

The longer this goes on... the worse it gets, he says. So... it'd be better to break the cycle this time but...

But we just have to stop Keith and...

If I can get back, I know I can help. He's been training me and I'm so much stronger than I used to be. But I don't want to pressure everyone. I know you're all working hard.

You know I'll always be pulling for you, no matter where I am.

I'm always thinking of you and I'll love you forever Jack. This... it's just a little setback, that's all.

And...
If it doesn't work out...
We'll get another chance...

You are devilish and debonair. The other me says you always have been. That's a good track record!

I guess no one can resist your charm, even if it's just someone with a little bit of your soul inside.

..I much prefer the original though.

Marge is a force of nature, not to be trifled with. Haha! I'm glad she's on our side.

And... did you just call yourself handsome? By proxy? *amused*

You know you could talk to Rip and try to get to know him a little better. He is... a part of you, however messed up that is.

I just think he needs a friend right now Jack. I'm sure he feels terrible for what happened too.

Maybe you should put them in separate rooms. Contain the madness, you know? They're all right when they're alone with their significant others, it's just... when they all get together, they can be a handful.

As for Rip...

I know it must be jarring. But Rip is still a person. We should treat him with kindness and respect... and forgive him for his mistakes.

Keith made him do it, Jack. He's innocent.

They touched my life too. It used to be so bland and empty. I thought I was okay with it but...

You and Marge, your brothers, their lovers, everyone feels like family. When I think about everyone, when I worry about them, I... don't feel as lonely. Or as scared.

I'm doing all right here Jack. I wish I could do more to help.

Oh...

She misses me, doesn't she? Tell her I miss her too. I miss everyone.

Are they doing all right? Your brothers...? You can't let Niall into the liquor cabinet Jack, I hope someone's been keeping an eye on him. And Rhys needs to stay off his feet and nurse his back, he hasn't been moving around too much, has he? Is everyone eating properly and getting enough rest?

Wh-what? Why not?

Jack...

Okay. I...

Anyway are you eating? Are you keeping your strength up?

The other... me and I are making a new soup recipe... haha...
