He managed to make a smile and open his arms for embrace. As tired as he was, Leon was still genuinely glad to see Sherry. Even if they didn’t see each other often he’d still keep an eye on her. Just in case. He wouldn’t admit it but he was still worried, especially since she’s become an agent.

'Sherry! So glad to see you again. How have you been?'

[sherrybirkin-blog]

The blonde leaped into the air with as much ferocity as a pouncing feline. Her legs kicked up, arms spiraling around his neck. He felt warm and inviting, akin to one of the stuffed teddy bears that she had taken up on collecting. 

She smiled and loosened her grip, still a child in many ways with naivety in her eyes.

"I'm alright," Sherry said. A bob of her head served as her assertion. "How're you?"

Encounter with the Reaper [ Cain & Sherry ]

[leisureworn-blog]

If she didn’t like him, that was fine. Acceptable. Welcome, even. Most people found him unlikable. Personally, Cain found her rather endearing. She tried so damn hard to be the tough, no-nonsense type, but with her appearance and attitude, she seemed more like a child playing make-believe than a licensed agent. 

It was no coincidence that he treated her as such. "Yeah, you could say that," he replied, his broad shoulders heaving slightly with a gruff chuckle. “Just takin’ care of some business… I’m sure you understand."

[sherrybirkin-blog]

She didn't hate him.

Hell, she couldn't hate people at all. She wasn't resentful or bitter, experienced sorrow like anyone else.

"Business," the blonde repeated. Now, I can't take care of mine... "He was the solution to this problem." She frowned, thin brows worriedly knitting together.

"Now, what am I supposed to do?"

At a genuine loss, her fingers combed through her hair.

Encounter with the Reaper [ Cain & Sherry ]

[leisureworn-blog]

"Whoa, whoa. Easy there, Annie Oakley." 

He held up his hands in a gesture of mock surrender, eyeing her gun warily. She wouldn’t shoot him, of course; she owed him her life. Now he’d taken one from her, one that he assumed she was here to save. She had every reason to be upset with him, but he doubted she’d try anything drastic.  He’d hate to have to kill her, too.  "So… what’s the deal here? Felt like takin’ a midnight stroll or what?"

[sherrybirkin-blog]

Sherry didn't find his quip to be all that funny. Few things were comical to her these days. In a world this cold, she had been forced to adapt and adjust to the frigid, tumultuous waters known as her life.

"No," she replied with a haughty huff. 

His presence annoyed her. He possessed the misfortune of showing up at inconvenience times. Somehow, Cain was connected to this. The notion was a sad one. She could feel disappointment bubbling up in her core.

"I'm here on an investigation." A pause. "Which is classified," the blonde quickly acted. "What about you? Is this your midnight stroll?"

She half-expected for him to start whistling.

Playing the fatalist, as expected. 

In past month or two, there has been a total of 40 abductions and they're all quickly being passed off as "cold cases". It started with people that wouldn't be missed, but there was a minor slip in their patterns, what with an oil baron's daughter gone missing.  Isn't that the slightest bit intriguing?  People are being paid off or threatened to keep their mouths shut.

I suspect it's become a little more personal and a lot less "anyone we can grab".  All of these kidnappings are happening near each of the Edonia and Lanshiang's survivors' local places of residence.  Too close for comfort, I'd say.  That means they've got you in arm's reach.  I would have expected the DSO to be on top of this, but it's for the best.

It's time you start thinking real smart about where you go and how you sleep at night.

Perhaps I'll help you.

I don't remember catching wind of this. They would have informed me. Not even the media managed to sneak a report. Granted, our censors would have prohibited them from doing so...

You've caught my attention, Ma'am. I almost wish that this was a sick joke. Deep down, I believe you. I can't say I trust your intentions, but I believe your... Theory, if you'd like to call it that.

By reporting this to me, you're acting out of the greater good. Not for the government, but for all of humankind.

The DSO has been busy, cleaning up another mess. This would be the least of their worries.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please give me more intel? Anything else? Even a clue? I'll investigate this matter myself.

Miss Birkin,

it has certainly been a while since the incident in China, hasn't it? I was closely informed of your ability to finish your objective despite all odds and still come out smelling like roses. I was impressed, to say the least, though I had my doubts. No matter, there is a much larger game afoot, and I think it might interest you.

And you're...undeniably connected.

Ma'am,

Time doesn't heal those wounds. The objective was accomplished and that's what matters. I like to believe the day was saved... There's always a ghost that paves the way.

Why does this concern you? What's your aim? Most importantly, what do you want from me?

Encounter with the Reaper [ Cain & Sherry ]

[leisureworn-blog]

All in a day’s work.

Cain had arrived earlier that night, once all the employees had gone home. For whatever reason, their big shot employer stayed after hours to take care of the work he didn’t actually have. His office had been easy enough to find — Cain just followed the stench of greed and utter disdain for one’s underlings.

To this day, death unnerved her. The macabre scene was reminiscent of a horror flick that clung to her memory. The acrid smell of metal filled the air. She could have sworn that she tasted coppery blood on the tip of her tongue, but her mind liked to fill in the gaps—to twist reality and bend it to a skewed angle.

She blamed it on the G-Virus.

Wide, blue eyes stared at the corpse, the shards of bone, the scrambled fragments of brain matter. Gross. Plush lips twisted, on the verge of frowning. She winced and forced herself to look away, a sleeve shielding her mouth.

Why was humanity so brutal?

She wished that human beings didn't rip each other apart. It made them no better than animals. Maybe that's all we really are.

A familiar voice flooded her senses. She tilted her head, jerking back. Alert (impeccably so), Sherry raised her gun. It was a damn good thing that she didn't fire away. Questions came first in her line of work.

“What're you doing here?” Her tone was sharp, accusatory. Granted, she should have thanked this man. He saved her life once. Bad luck came with his name or so she assumed. “--And don't call me that.”

Sherry wrinkled her nose, irked by the loss and presence.

Encounter with the Reaper [ Cain & Sherry ]

China.

The country held a plethora of bad memories for Agent Sherry Birkin. Her work, unfortunately, was never done. As soon as she returned home to the states, she had been assigned one more task: to investigate a cosmetic facility and interrogate the CEO to the best of her ability.

Not only were workers forced to work in hazardous conditions, but the cosmetics were contaminated as well.

Upon arriving at the building, an unnatural chill swept through her. Sherry shivered and moved on. Her walk was a tentative one, eyes darting left and right.

The building was much too quiet. Further inspection revealed that the workers had abandoned their machinery. When she reached the main office on the top floor, Agent Birkin took a deep breath. She pushed open the door, greeted by a dead man in his leather throne.

"No..." 

Could she have saved him had she arrived moments earlier? 

[blood-of-a-god-blog]

"Wouldn’t have it any other way, Supergirl."

Jake rested his chin atop Sherry’s head, his lips turning up in a content grin.  Sherry was without a doubt, his closest friend.  Something he definitely lacked in the life he lived.

It was a nice change of pace for him.

[sherrybirkin-blog]

The blonde recoiled, seemingly embarrassed by his display of affection. Friend or not, a simple gesture could be very off-putting for her. Flustered, she rubbed at her arm before standing up straight.

"You call me, if anything goes wrong."

There was nothing else to say. It was time to part ways.

[sherrybirkin-blog]

'Sherry, hey'

"Leon!" Blue eyes grew wide with surprise. Her spirits soared, shocked to see the former cop in front of her. She raced toward him, tilting her head back to study his worn face.

Her idol, a man she aspired to be like.

Jake put a hand on his hip and sighed.  Nodding slightly, he wrapped an arm around Sherry’s shoulder.  A slightly unusual gesture from him, but one he hoped would quell his friend’s nervousness.

"I’ll be careful, Sher.  I promise."

[sherrybirkin-blog]

"I trust you," Sherry said.

Three words meant until the end, through thick and then. They had been through Hell and back. Mercenary or not, she considered Jake a friend, a loyal ally. 

In return, her palm came to settle on his shoulder -- squeeze that mimicked Jake's previous actions.

"Keep in touch. If anything happens, I'll be the one to save you."

She beamed.

[ruinosus-angelus]

A breath is exhaled out his mouth into a sigh. His eyes are low, towards the ground. Their boots all in his site, something to focus on besides Sherry. He can’t look at her, not yet.

There are so many ways to explain his supposed death, his act of honor. That’s what they call it, an act of honor. Piers didn’t want honor or recognition for sacrificing himself—-everyone in the B.S.A.A is sacrificing their self just by being a part of it.  Everyone deserves honor. 

The Lieutenant’s eyes rise back to hers. His words are soft. “Sherry is it true? Do you really have the G-Virus in you?" 

Maybe, he could reach understanding. 

They may both share something beyond humanity. He needs to know. It’ll make his explanation easier. 

[sherrybirkin-blog]

He won't look at her.

The action reminds Sherry of her mother. The woman had seldom been around, but every night before the lights went out, Annette could never look her daughter in the eyes. Frigid, blue eyes pinpointed on the ground or stared directly past Sherry.

Now, she eyes Piers with some skepticism. Pretty, pink lips push together, on the verge of speaking. 

Agent or not, her fate has been sealed. She is a guinea pig, through and through.

"... It is."

And her heart goes out to him, sympathetic to a fault. She reaches a hand out to Piers, fingers slightly splayed. An offering. A handshake of compassion.

"You can tell me what happened, Piers."

Still, she smiles.

[ruinosus-angelus]

He isn’t sure how the D.O.S would handle a man coming back to life from the form of one infected with C-virus. Although, he had been healed and told he’s cured. 

His worst symptom being nightmares, yet that had nothing to do with the C-virus. 

He takes a deep breath. “Do you remember the creature me and Chris said we would handle for you and Jake Muller?"

To think his last conversation with Jake was talking about dragging him home in a body bag. Yet, him and Sherry didn’t speak so much, but he could tell she was someone he’d get along with just fine. 

"It would of killed Chris, so I had to do something." And even now if he was sent back and time and had a chance to change his choices, he wouldn’t regret doing what he did again. 

[sherrybirkin-blog]

Another risen from the ashes, but one who hasn't succumbed to corruption.

She trusts Piers. In this world of good and evil, she views him as the former. His loyalty runs deep and Sherry values that admirable trait.

"I remember," Sherry whispers.

The way she replies is reminiscent of a young girl who is about to receive a secret that she does not wish to hear. Her stomach churns and twists into sick, little knots. She feels ill.

"Piers... What did you do?"

[blood-of-a-god-blog]

[blood-of-a-god-blog]

Jake put a hand on her shoulder and gave a soft, reassuring squeeze.

"Sher, you worry too much.  This is gonna be little more than a vacation for me.  I mean Hell, after what you and I went through out in China, anything else seems easy, right?"

[sherrybirkin-blog]

She wagged a finger at him, none too swayed by his reassurance.

"That's because you're always getting into trouble, Jake! Of course, I'm going to worry."

Sherry chewed on the inside of her cheek, winced at the flesh that ground between her teeth.

"I just... I have this feeling that something very bad is going to happen. So, you be careful. You hear me?"

She pleaded with her eyes whilst wearing a crestfallen expression.
