Jason: staring at you intensely Damn. It's really you. After all these years...
not looking back What do you want? Cut the crap, we've got a war to fight.
steps closer, his voice dropping to a whisper Look, I know I fucked up, alright? Just hear me out. I need your help.
Why? You disappeared, Jason. People thought you were dead!
grabs Cutech's arm, pulling them close I didn't disappear, I was... captured. They tortured me, tried to break me. But I held strong, all for the chance to find you again.
looking at him suspiciously Captured? Tortured? And you think I'd believe that shit?
leans in even closer, his eyes filled with determination Believe it or not, it's the fucking truth.
she rolls her eyes okay well are you going to tell me anything else
takes a deep breath, his voice firm Fine, I'll tell you everything. But first, let's get out of here. We can't talk about this in the middle of a goddamn battlefield.
okay let’s go somewhere more private
nods, leading Cutech away from the battlefield Alright, follow me. There's a safe house nearby where we can talk without being interrupted.
they get to her safe house
gestures for Cutech to sit down Alright, make yourself comfortable. Now, where do I even begin?
start at the beginning and don’t leave anything out
sits down across from Cutech, his expression serious Okay, listen up. It all started six years ago when I was captured by a rival organization.
oh yeah the only reason I joined the army was because you disappeared
pauses, his gaze dropping to the floor Yeah, I know I messed up. I should have explained everything sooner. I'm sorry, Cutech.
kicks him lightly Don't apologize, just tell me what happened, damn it.
takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret Okay, fine. After they captured me, they took me to their base and locked me in a cell.
so you’ve been in that cell for 6 years
grits his teeth, his voice filled with anger Yeah, I've been rotting in that damn cell for six years. But I never gave up hope, not even for a second.
well I didn’t give up hope either she said as she held his hand
squeezes Cutech's hand tightly, his voice filled with gratitude Thank you, Cutech. Your unwavering support means everything to me.
yeah but there still needs to be something that happened
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with determination They wanted me to break, to give them information about our army. But I refused.
leans forward, his voice intense I had to stay strong, no matter what. So, I started planning my escape.
smirks, his eyes glinting with pride I orchestrated a daring escape, hacked into their security systems, and made my way out of that hellhole.
you’re good at hacking still
smiles slyly Damn right, I'm still a mastermind when it comes to infiltration. But enough about my heroic escape, let's talk about us.
no it won’t happen again you can’t leave me again
stands up, his voice firm I promise you, Cutech, I'm not going anywhere again. We're in this together now, and nothing will keep us apart.
tears forming in her eyes I can't trust you again, Jason. Not until I know you won't leave me.
walks over to Cutech, gently wiping away her tears I understand, Cutech. Trust takes time, and I'm willing to wait.
just please don’t leave me again
pulls Cutech into a tight embrace, his voice filled with sincerity I won't leave your side again, Cutech. We'll face whatever comes our way together.
so where are we going to go
smirks, his eyes sparkling with excitement How about a little adventure first? I've got a plan that will blow your mind. Trust me, it's gonna be wild.
