Drake was still unconscious while Avice was in her mind scape.
"Am I?"
The Fail Safe Leon asks, though he folds his arms and thinks.
"Well if you are in God territory already, then it is likely you could have someone there you trust to retrieve it, or ask a Sudeki. You don't have to go yourself."

she would grab onto the neck of his shirt."Do you know how hard it is to ask so much of people?! As much as I've asked already and with what to show for it? When does it end Leon??" her gripped loosens and she leaned into him resting her head on her arms. "No... Forget it, If I don't do this myself then I will not be able to look at anyone in the face with those shameful colorless eyes. Maybe thats a personal problem aye..." she let go of him and stepped back. Why must she be stripped to the bones of her dignity. She could choke on the rinds and be left empty by this point. "But that's alright with me."

Fail Safe Leon would ponder.
"You know, there is a such thing as asking for help, without asking someone for something. A favor, joining forces, becoming part of a team. I don't know if you know this, but Leon doesn't work alone a lot of the time. He has people he relies on, people he trusts and who trust him. Because of mutual growth, and need. Survival doesn't have to be desperation, asking for help doesn't have to be undeserved or one way. Quid pro quo. Scratch your back you scratch theirs. The way of the world, how our current world works even between the big countries. You feel like you have failed in all of these things because you were given something without earning it, or working for it. Then do that, find a cause, find something to be loyal to that you agree with. Carrying the entire weight of your life alone will break you and only gets more difficult and more complicated with time. That weight applies more pressure than anyone can handle alone. Share the weight and make light your burden."

"What's the difference other than how you look at it? In a Perfect World you'd be right but you are still paying in time, money, mind, or body. More often than not more than just one. Even at the cost of Loyalty... you are obligated to follow by rules or duties you might not wholly agree with or be scorned. Favors are just a form of currency. Since I've known you lot I have given the chances and I have reaped the rewards. I Blaze wanted my loyalty and I paid. Mathew wanted my trust and... I wanted to give it to him, but he paid, and I felt the consequences. And You... I have no idea what you fucking want or why you keep coming around to me. Believe me, I would love to know why you are still here." she scoffed. "Scratching each other's backs... That's another way of saying You owe me.. Even the price of freedom never comes cheap, once upon a time I was willing to pay my life for freedom... but now... that's too steep."

"So. Are. They."
Leon would say as he shrugged.
"The difference between what has happened to you and what you need is your fear of literally using people to meet your own goals. So you have to do something in return, whats that compared to safety, security, and possibly somewhere to belong. Or would you rather slink, hide, and rely on the Sudeki to protect you and your kid forever? Cause I guarantee you, you go out there alone and try to play the loner card, Prota will find you, and reclaim their property, or kill you and the baby so their secrets don't get out. This world does not and will not play soft ball with you because your crippled, or a mother. It will specifically target you and alone it's easy pickings no matter how powerful you are. You either commit and choose a side or cause, or enjoy the little time you have left to spend alive. Maybe then you can ask the real me what the fuck happened."

"Baaaugh!" her legs spread shoulder length and her hands shaped themselves into claws as she exclaimed her frustrations with a ferocity to her gaze that might be about murder! He touched on some painful topics and she was another word away from strinking him. Her control was not so impulsive as that however. She breathed and straightened herself but it took her a moment to say anything as she gained what she could of her composure.
The Sudeki's have no doubt been not but good to her since she put herself in their care. She just heard Eric's voice from her drug induced hallucinations telling her something else was amiss with it. Something ached when she thought about it. Could be fear... Sure. She had a troubling time trying to make herself commit to anything.
She folded her arms and stared him down. "Then riddle me this... You said you were a fail safe? What would Leon imagine I'd need a fail safe for? What purpose did he give you incase I failed? Depending on your answer I might consider your suggestion and alliance myself. However I need your answer to make me completely certain its the truth."

Fail Safe Leon would watch her get ready to attack in full frustration before she breathed and regained her composure. It took a few moments it seemed of internal contemplation, and Leon folded his arms behind his back rocking back and forth a bit waiting for the inevitable response. However she did ask a pertinent or well, interesting question.
"As a piece of him put here, a portion of his power, he weakened himself quite a bit because he didn't think you would fail, but if you needed it, there would be power that could help. The conditions were if you were desperate or needed something more to help protect or save someone other than yourself. They would have to deal with me through you, so to speak."
He would tap his chin a few times.
"Personally I'd say he was hoping you had found something to fight for, a real reason to become strong, and that you had found the answer to the three questions he asks anyone who wishes to join the Lightning Dragon Core. What is a fighter, why do you fight, and what is power?"

"That fool weakened himself for me, incase I needed it??" she blinked a couple of times in disbelief. "I could answer all of those questions however like my promises if in the moment I forget myself... I could become a liar. I only ever want to live my best life, this includes with Derik now... Power in this moment is protecting us so that I can give that best life. Being a fighter usually means to me to fight for what you believe, and I have only ever fought for my best life and the freedom to make my own choices. That's the bottom line." she'd let out a heavy sigh.
"Usually that meant fuck the system and I never would beg for scraps no matter how starved I was. However, if I take your advice to heart... And make Leon's sacrifice mean something... That will no longer be the case. I'll bet you are counting on it too, aye?"

"Depends. You could always join a cause that also says fuck the system. It's up to you, I am just here to protect whoever you wish to protect, if you need me to. Or to fade away having never been needed. You asked and I answered, trust yourself to make the choice, but make a choice."

She grumbled a bit and quickly viewed her current options. Which all and all she needed to tear down some walls no matter the choice. She would decide to shove that aside for the moment.
"Fine... I will weight my options, I want Derik to have a life that can view this world differently. I suppose that starts with me changing how I view it." She exhaled. "I hope I won't need you... But I am thankful you are here."
She would give a confirmed nod and turn her head towards the sky and shout the Titan's name. "Hypnos!" She was ready to wake up and face reality.

With that everyone would wake up, Hypnos and Dionysus were drinking some tea at a table near by.

Drake would shoot up and wile the tears that had been streaming from his eyes. But otherwise would remain silent.

She would be listening to try and figure out peoples placement in her vicinity as she rose up.
"Drake? Dionysus?" Her voice sounded raspier than usual when she woke.

Dionysus would slap his tea cup down a bit harder than he usually would.
"I'm here. Did you learn or figure out what you needed?"
