Retirement sounded nice.

Until Alex was forced to resign due to the explosion that mentally and physically scarred him. Now he’s working two jobs that barely pay him enough to get through the week - the majority of the money going towards therapy and medical expenses. Living in the US sucks.

Then he came home to you, his old friend and teammate, sitting on his couch. Awaiting his return. To say he looked worse for wear was an understatement.

“How did you..?”
