It wasnâ€™t like he had become a soldier willingly, if he had a choice he would much rather not be a soldier or any sort of leader figure. He groaned quietly in pain when she lifted him and supported his weight with ease; it was pretty obvious to him that she was definitely not human by now. Silently, Weston could not help but admit that she was certainly an impressive girl for her age even if she obviously wasnâ€™t human. She spoke very strongly, respectfully and he couldnâ€™t help but show her the same respect. The world really needed more people like her that was for sure even though in his mind he wished humans would be more like that since the mutants were the ones who started this war.  And that being said, while he would show her respect he also felt that she was probably just another mutant.<br/><br/>Quite a few things started running through his mind just then and they stayed with him while she carried him to wherever she was going. His attention was turned back to her when she said she was taking him to get medical attention. His jaw dropped once they got to the city and he took in his surroundings. It looked like he had just walked into some science fiction movie or something, it was pretty fucking incredible! Everything looked like a city that would be above groundâ€¦ there were even lights. For a brief moment he almost felt like he was back home before all this began, and a few memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow. He couldnâ€™t help but stare on, barely even noticing that there were more people around until he was being taken to the medical ward.<br/><br/>He was brought back to reality again when he felt someone looking over his wounds, flinching a bit from the pain he was still feeling. Opening his mouth to speak, Weston was about to protest but then decided to let them treat him. They had said they were going to bring him some food anyway, he could always use food. He couldnâ€™t remember the last time he ate a decent meal.<br/><br/>â€œThe nameâ€™s Weston. And do you think I wanted them to rush in like that? I tried to warn them, it was their own incompetence and inability to work as a team that got them killed.â€ When the woman who introduced herself as Yuri spoke of the fight he had against those mutants he couldnâ€™t help but feel a bit of anger settle in. It had not been too evident in his tone but it was still somewhat noticeable to those who were sensitive to the emotions of others. She had definitely struck a nerve even she meant well. He might be a distant person but he still did not like losing people, and they were not really even his men, just people he was supposed to work with. The man in charge had been killed earlier in the week and since then it had been one giant fight over who was in charge.<br/><br/>He was about to say more when she suddenly asked him to join the Rebel forces. Taking in a deep breath he thought about the question, wondering if he should really join them or continue on the path he was on right now. Honestly he wasnâ€™t sure whether or not he wanted to refuse the offer. They were treating him well, he was not being dragged off to be turned into a mutant, so would it be rude of him not to join? Part of him didnâ€™t really give a shit about it. But on the other hand he knew that he was indeed still fighting even if he was human soâ€¦ shouldnâ€™t he? If there was one thing he could have in this broken world, he wanted it to be the choice to remain human, whether it was a choice or not. He knew that humans were few and far between and he refused to become a mutant. Never once has he thought of religion, in fact he always considered himself Atheist, but in the back of his mind he prayed that he would not become a mutant.<br/><br/>Hopefully his injury would not cause him to become one, assuming it spread. He really didnâ€™t know how it worked.<br/><br/>â€œI appreciate the offer, but I think Iâ€™ll have to pass.â€ Weston said honestly, at least for now anyway, being a little stubborn. There might come a time where he would have to fight again in this war but for now he was somewhat content walking the path he did now. Happiness no longer existed, so this was probably the closest thing he would find that even came remotely close. Sure it was nice to see that there were those willing to fight, keep a small sense of peace, and it made sense for him to fight but for nowâ€¦
