She managed to give Veronica a weak smile.
As soon as the troops assembled in the field, Fleur explained everything to them, including how General Payne aka The Red General lied to all of them. She informed everyone about their situation and how they all cannot go back to their time. She could hear their heart break at the news.
Fleur put on a brave face and assured everyone that, together with the other Animus residents, she will try and find a way so they could all go back to the real world.
That gave everyone hope. She advised them to stay and live in Animus for the moment. They all gave her one final salute, and before leaving they all told Fleur that if in case she needed them again, they will be around to come to her aide.
She thanked them and watched them leave the camp and into the streets, to start their life in the city.

Johnny ran over to Jake as the soldiers had stoppped firing. Looking back at the hanger, Johnny could only wonder what had happened. "Lets go, kid.", Johnny said as he slung Jake's arm over his shoulder and assisted him back to the hanger.

Em had left the mall a while back, and found herself near the miilitary base. She wandered around carefully, not making a sound. She saw Johnny and gasped. She would have yelled out to him, but didn't know if she should. Running quietly up to him, she was about to hug him when she saw the injured man he was carrying.
"Oh goodness, is he alright?", she whispered, almost inaudibly. "Do you need help? Where's the wound? I'll fix it", she offered, frowning.

"Go ahead if you want. Can't say I'm expecting to live through this. I knew the risks when I signed up, and now I'm paying the price," Jake said, smiling at the woman. He could barely see her due to his fading vision. He reached out his hand in a pathetic little wave, dropping his BAR. He was too tired to carry it, and it was making it awkward for Johnny to carry him.

Em picked up his rifle and tucked it in her belt for him, keeping it to give back later, though she was quite taken with it, and would probably end up cleaning it and using it at some point herself. She started at him. Goodnes..., she though. He's handsome....
She shook her head to regain her focus, and smiled at him, moving to help Johnny carry him. She draped his arm around her shoulders, trying to ease half his weight off of Johnny, and started walking foward with him.

Jake smiled warmly as Eminor put her arms around both him and Johnny. "I always knew I should have stopped eating the cheesecakes..." Jake said quietly, chuckling slightly at his own joke. "So, how long have you been in Animus?" he asked, trying to make casual conversation.

She laughed, staring at him. "A long, long time. I'm not too caught up with everything yet, I was dead for a handful of months, so they all tell me. Yourself?", she asked, not being able to stop staring at the man.

"I have no idea. I woke up in the hotel room, and then I woke up again later. I feel the same, and I haven't aged. You guys are the first sane people I've met in Animus. Congratulations, beautiful," Jake said, giving a smile and a wink to Eminor. "Did you wake up with anything? I had a picture and a katana," Jake said, pursing his lips. "Is it a sign of some sort?"

"A picture of what?", she asked, after raising an eyebrow in amusement at his compliment. She grinned at him. "I didn't wake with anything. At least, I don't remember. I can't remember anything before I woke up recently, maybe I hit my head. I can't even remember how I went down.", she explained, shrugging at him, frowning. "I woke up on the sidewalk, for heavens sakes."

"Great, a beautiful woman fell asleep on the sidewalk. What's the world coming to?" Jake muttered. "I think it's my parents. I recognize myself in the middle. I don't remember anything about my past. It's somewhat sad, not knowing anything at all. I don't even know where we are, just that everyone here was dragged here. It's a prison, in my eyes," Jake then explained.

"Awww..", she murmured, in reply to both his compliment and to his sad situation. "Well, we'll stop here", she said, dragging him over to a clearing of grass to their left. "Now, lay down and take off your shirt, let me see how bad it is. You're bleeding.", she said as she helped lower him to the ground.

Jake didn't argue, taking off the top of the army uniform. He sighed deeply after examining the wound. "I'm resisting the urge to swear," he said calmly. He looked around the area, noting the soldiers. "I can't say I'm very keen on all of the soldiers walking around. I just killed a bunch of their friends. I see some death and vigilante justice in my near future," Jake explained. "What's your name?"

"I'm Eminor. Just Eem is fine, hun", she said, poking around at the bullet wound, trying to get the bullet out with as little pain as possible. Ripping part of his shirt, she wrapped it around his torso, trying to bandage the wound until she could get him to a first aid kit.
"No worries, I'm almost done", she said as she tied the ends together, patting his chest. "Good to go for a while yet. You'll be okay, mister...''

"James Braun. Call me Jake though," Jake said with a warm smile. He sat up, ignoring the pain. "Eminor... that's a beautiful name," Jake said, keeping the smile. "Can I call you Emmy?" he then asked, tilting his head to look her in the eyes.

She stared at him, and opened her mouth to respond, but the words didn't make it out of her mouth. She was so caught up in his eyes, she didn't realize that she was looking at him as if he was the most amazing person ever. She kept staring at his eyes, awe struck.
