Joanna had snuck into the mansion still carrying her bottle everyone was asleep, walking around she found herself in the gym.
"humm, workout time" she thought as she placed the bottle on a seat, slipping off her shoes she flipped up onto the balance beam, twisting she crouched with a leap she jumped backwards twisting as she landed she ended up on her hands but balanced. walking on her hands she moved to the end the beam, turning slowly she brought her legs down and straghtened up.
When she spotted a blue mat, she jumped down and stood her with her legs slightly apart, slowly she twisted to her left then her right her arms moving quiker as she moved rasing her left leg she moved in a circle then she did the same with right leg.
With her left arm bent she moved as if protecting herself an attacker her movements once again becoming faster and more fliud as she focused on nothing but her breathing.
But even that did not help as the memorys hung in her mind like a nightmare she couldn't wake from, because she was already awake. Joanna crossed back to the bottle grabbing it off the chair she sat down on the floor and drank.
"i wish kurt was here?"she thought to her self as she took another swig of tquila.

I yawn as I walk through the mansion. I cannot sleep properly without Joanna anymore. I find her in the gym. "Joanna? It is very late."

Joanna looked up the bottle lay next to her "i.. i.. " she shook her head as she sat on the floor

"What is wrong? Did something happen?"

Joanna stood "the man in the bar killed stryker before i could now i have all these .."she paused her anger she could feel growing again . she threw the bottle at the wall and turned her back to him.

I teleport in front of her. "What? You have what?"

"MEMORYS, My memories, bad ones, all the faces of the people i killed while under siniters control" she said and smacked a weight machine causing part of it to fly across the room, she had never told anyone this part of her life before not even Alex knew .

"Don't think about their faces, then." I pull her around to face me. "Think of mine."

Joanna looked at him even in her drunk state, she shook her head " i can't they've been in here to long" she placed her hand on her head.

"Yes you can. You're the strongest person I've ever known. You can do this."

Joanna looked at him, turning away her arms wrapped around herself as if protecting her form the thoughts inside her. "but im not, if i was would i have let sinister and styker do what they did" she said as she faught to hold back her tears.

I wrap my arms around her. "You can do this. You can." I whisper in her ear. I keep repeating it. I hope she takes it to heart.

Joanna turns and holds him tight she closes her eyes the images slowly disapearing replaced with his face, her eyes now wet from tears she looks up at him, "I m gald you found me" she said

"I'm glad you let me."

Joanna smiled up at him "again i seam to be thanking you" she said
