Looking over at Jack as he answered her question, Audre was surprised to see the immediate twist of sadness and anger go across his face. He's never really had that expression before, even when he brought up his father, he always seemed calm or at least showed other expressions that was far from pain. Maybe his experience back at his own lab was entirely different from hers. She wondered then if there was more to Jack than she initially thought.<br/><br/>Something compelled her to take Jack's hand, to try and get rid of that ugly twist of pain on his face. Bring back the Jack that showed her the lake. But she kept her hand to her side. They still had so much to do, there wasn't enough time to start anything, not yet anyways.<br/><br/>"Sorry, for asking I'm mean," Audre said unsure on how to ease the tension. "I didn't mean for you to think about anything painful. It's just that, my parents. They did their best to fight for the rights for everyone back at my lab. Being their daughter, they wanted the best for me. Majority of what they asked for was rejected though. In the end our kind were never seen anything more than experiments."<br/><br/>Looking up at the sky she wondered how everyone was doing. Her lungs feeling crushed at the amount of worry she had for them. "But some arguments my parents did win," Audre continued, she wasn't sure why she was saying all this but she was having a hard time stopping. "I was able to interact with a lot of the others, building friendships and encouraging the other that the tests weren't so bad. Even if one of us was seen as a bad example, my parents defended them from any forms of punishment saying that they'll straighten out soon on their own."<br/><br/>"As much as my parents did to make life comfortable, we all knew that it would never be enough," something choked in Audre's voice as her eyes lowered to the ground. "So obviously one day we tried to escape."<br/><br/>She fell silent then, refusing to tell Jack anything more about the escape plan. The fear of him hating her for being a coward was still strong. Audre wasn't sure why she continues to talk to Jack about her past, and she gets frustrated at herself when she's unable to really keep him at arms length. Maybe it was because he has this air about him that makes her feel like she isn't alone anymore, maybe even safe. The more she learned about Jack, the more of a leader he seems to be. She had a feeling that one day, she'll be willing to follow him to the ends of the earth. That is if he will ever feel the same way.<br/><br/>They finally made it out of the city and Audre shrugged off her backpack and jacket. Sighing as she stretched out her wings and rolled her shoulders. Audre turned her eyes at Jack checking to see if he was ready or if he had anything to say.
