[The fog has been rolling in for weeks now. Curling up out of the trees, messing with people's minds, and while Waverly and Wynonna did go through a stretch of forgetting things, there's also things that she remembered too.

Things from somewhere else.

Things from Hell.

She doesn't know if Wynonna remembers, and she doesn't want to ask. She doesn't want to think that if for some reason she doesn't, her question is the thing that triggers the deluge of memories of the pain and suffering they spent there. So she keeps it to herself, toiling away with Jeremy and regular cases and hoping that one day, she'll be able to put it all behind them.

They get a call one day, about someone having been found in the fog. It's unsure how much of an affect it's had on him, but Jeremy manages to divert him back to Shorty's so they can get a better look at him. He doesn't have any ID, any phone, and he's definitely not one of the locals. But the moment they place him on the pool table to get a better look, Waverly almost drops the bottle of whiskey in her hand.]


Oh my god, Aiden.

[the sound of his name snaps him out of his barely consciousness, and immediately, reflexively his fingers go for his hip and the gun that's usually there. unfortunately, he's as unarmed as he is without identification, and that gets him to sit up a little more. he feels like he's going to be sick, moving just that little bit, but like fuck he's just going to sit here and take whatever bullshit Hell's drug him into, now]

[give him a minute to realize where he is, exactly]
the_vigilante: (who knows where this is heading?)

[his head jerks up at his name, his stomach rolling again, and -- ]

[wait. wait]

[Waverly went home. but she's here now. but she was the angel before. but his head is fucking killing him and for more than just the fact that none of this makes any sense. it's a hard thing, to keep himself from shaking his head]


What --

[what is this?]
the_vigilante: (this is not where i should be)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-05-20 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[he glances down at his hands, briefly, when she clarifies, that obviously some sort of litmus test. considering his nails aren't black, anymore, though, it may as well be. he flexes his fingers, regardless, before glancing back up at her]

T-Bone?

[is Ray here, too?]
the_vigilante: (pulled out some hope for me)

[Aiden watches Jeremy go, and as Waverly turns back to him, he tries to mirror the smile, though the expression reads more as confused than anything else. he's very glad to see her, don't get him wrong, but -- what?]

Always kinda thought you didn't remember Hell, once you got out.

[but he does. but she does. but]
the_vigilante: (don't ever lose your hope)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-06-13 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess so.

[he has about a hundred more questions he wants to ask, as an offshoot of that one, but first] You good?

[is she coping okay with remembering Hell? has she had any more problems with the angel, here, since she's remember? before she remembered? is she okay? is Wynonna?]
the_vigilante: (get started and we ain't gonna stop)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-06-26 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[he hums. it's both a relief and a disappointment to think that Wynonna doesn't remember Hell]

How you gonna explain me?
the_vigilante: (don't tell me secrets i can't keep)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-06-29 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aiden shrugs]

I can work with that.

[he can even spin how they actually met to seem normal, so they don't have to come up with a new, more elaborate lie. he'll just leave out the part about the Mares and all]
the_vigilante: (my words are like physics)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-07-12 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Water, first. [that might help with the headache that's taking up residence behind his eyes, now that he's stopped feeling nauseous] Then yeah, I'll take a drink.

[a drink-drink]
the_vigilante: (get started and we ain't gonna stop)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-07-21 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aiden turns, at that, actually giving himself a moment to take it all in. once he has, he turns back to Waverly, shrugging]

It's not what I expected, somehow. [a beat] Not bad, just ... [he's not sure how to explain it. he guesses he expected it to look more like Hella Shorty's]
the_vigilante: (pulled out some hope for me)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-07-23 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aiden snorts]

No drugs? Ray'll be disappointed.

[seriously, though. he's glad the food and drink here isn't tainted]
the_vigilante: (don't tell me secrets i can't keep)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-08-05 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[and he makes another small, amused noise]

My mistake.

[a pause follows, and then a little more seriously, he tells her:] Still not sure I'm not already on the drugs.

[he shakes his head a little]

This is mostly on me. [he's got a headache, and feels a little nauseous, sure, but] I keep thinking I'm gonna wake up any minute, here.
the_vigilante: (pulled out some hope for me)

[personal profile] the_vigilante 2022-08-21 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aiden huffs out a breath of a laugh, at that, before wordlessly holding out his hand, palm down. go ahead and pinch him, Waverly. maybe it'll help]
