[Strand being overprotective of her was one thing. It resulted in nothing more than him finding her before he restricted her to the couch for a week. Honestly, she didn't protest too much other than her boredom, because she needed to be taken care of in that instant. This was different. Alex could practically see the wheels turning in Simon's head which was new as well, because seeing him was still new. But the fact that he'd killed the last group of cultists that she'd heard of, Alex knew what he was thinking without him saying it.
And it scared her a little bit, she couldn't deny it. Not that Alex didn't want her kidnappers to get away with what they had done, but because she didn't want something to happen to Simon. She'd believed that he'd acted in self defense and in defense of others before. But here there was no Thomas Warren (even if Strand thought that all of this was some sort of mass delusion caused by something that Davea Corp did) and there was no Order of the Ceonophus or Brothers of the Mount to fight. Even if there had been kids left in that tunnel with her.
She took a step towards him, something that she'd not really been able to do the last time that they'd actually met, given all the security around Simon at the hospital.Keeping her voice soft, she shook her head.]
Don't even think about it, Simon. They're all taken care of. The rest of the people in town banded together in order to take them down and bring us home. We're safe from them. They're dead or have been punished enough. Trust me, alright? There's nothing you need to do like that here. Most of the people are good people, I promise. I haven't met anyone who I wouldn't consider safe.
[Other than the person who had claimed they were Satan. Alex wasn't going to bring that up. It would be a terrible idea to do so., given this was Simon after all.]
