And also, same here!
"So... you're like some robot or something?" Alex snickered. "Alex George- best friend and robot extraordinaire." He frowned as Riley winced.

"I'm not a cyborg" He began, emphasizing the word cyborg correcting her ignorance on the difference between robots and cyborgs, of course he was only teasing. "I'm flesh and blood like you... It's just my DNA is wired differently and modified to make me... Superior?" Not liking his choice of word.

"Alex... what were his last words?"

Alex's eyes dropped, his stomach rising. He didn't think letting Riley know that he cried and begged for his life, trying to strike a deal with Alex was quite what Riley wanted to hear. He also knew that it would probably not help his appearance either, making him look malicious and just out for blood, which wasn't the case. He didn't believe that Riley would see that it had to be done. However, making up that he had asked for Riley to know he'd loved her would only worsen her heartache.

"He told me that..." Alex paused and breathed out deeply, "That they'd hunt me down to the ends of the Earth, he was fearless." He lied to her, for what he felt was a good reason.
Awesome!
I've posted. Mine was also a bit meh. Haha.
"You didn't have to kill him though..." Riley told him, "Would you lay down with me? Please."

Alex sat down beside her on the bed first, wanting to explain something. "I did, Riley." Alex paused, "One of us had to die, I know it sounds... Rough. It's unfair of course." He began, removing his hands from his pockets gesturing with them in a pleading manner. "Oliver came after me. To kill me if I wouldn't go back with him to be 'reprogrammed' and turned into something where I would have killed a lot more people. Foreign politicians and soldiers, even politicians on the homeland, here." He remembered something that Archer had explained to him, the assassin who killed an American politician recently was someone like Alex, a 276 series, a more advanced version of those like Alex and Josh.

He removed his jacket and lay down beside her his skin was warm but around the abdominal area still stained in blood. He put one arm around Riley as he turned on his side.
That's no problem, I'll reply and play a game or something while I wait.
Awesome! I'm looking forward to it.
Same here, I'm interested in seeing your next post and how Riley takes all of this and what her reaction is!
"Two-seven-five-four-two-one-two..." Alex began with a sigh, "... Was my designated military number." He shook his head to correct himself, "Not that I was in the military in a traditional sense... Obviously." He told her, not meaning to come across as condescending. "Back in the eighties, the government began a new program building upon theoretical stem cell research to modify genetics in Humans and make them more superior to people like yourself, Archer and even... Oliver." Alex still had his hand on Riley's wound, he looked down at the bandages and ran his fingertips along them.

"Just before the nineties, they produced they're first genetically modified human, the experiments were failures, most being left in vegetative states after their first few years of life. Mid-nineties we were made... By we, I mean people like myself and that man who had you at gunpoint." Alex sighed before explaining more, going through every excruciating detail, explaining everything that he had learnt off his own research and from Archer's specific skill set. He talked for a good half hour, just talking and explaining and apologizing. "Oliver came for me... The night I picked you up and dropped you off at your building. He found me at Archer's apartment and chased me up to the rooftop." Alex winced as he raised his leg awkwardly onto the bed and patted it above the knee. "He shot me in the leg, it was me or him Riley."

Alex stood from the bed and stuck his hands in his jacket pockets. "I'm not asking you to forgive me, I know what I did was wrong and I'm the one that has to live with the blood of two men on my hands now." He looked down at her a thin smile that begged for her to understand parted his lips. "I wasn't going to die that day."
Right back at'cha!
