Sta.sh
#51 – Air
There were days when Desmond didn't know what was worse: being strapped to a weird machine that could read his genetic code or constantly being tossed into the air by Alex whenever they needed to make a quick getaway.
#52 – Apples
It was funny how Desmond's life soon revolved around nothing, but apples, however the most important apple of his eye was neither golden nor all-powerful…alright, maybe Alex was all-powerful, if he managed to get nuked and survive it.
#53 – Beginning
Perhaps it was the bartender's inflection that suddenly did him in, but Alex had no troubles pouring his heart out after some good rum and company.
#54 – Bugs
Somehow, they managed to leave New York to visit Desmond's friend out west, only to discover – to their great horror – that the town was utterly infested with zombies, mutant dogs and bugs…really huge bugs; Alex vaguely mentioned – while throwing a zombie away from Desmond – that it was as if they had never left home.
#55 – Coffee
Mornings in the hideout were often filled with sloppy kisses, quick fumblings and Dana chucking a coffee pot at them, while telling them to take their romance outside where she can't see them.
#56 – Dark
Alex often forgot that Desmond was an assassin and during one cold, rainy night, found himself startled as he was pounced on and pressed against an alley wall by his lover; "Didn't anyone tell you never to go into dark alleys alone, Alex?"
#57 – Despair
There had been no way to console Alex when Dana had become infected and Desmond had been forced to stay behind at the hospital as he watched Alex's retreating back heading off to who knew where to do only the devil knew what.
#58 – Doors
Whereas Desmond would have preferred the finesse that was offered by using a door, Alex found such pleasantries useless at times and just busted through the wall; feeling his assassin sensibilities offended by this more than once, he explained the codes of conduct assassins lived by, mainly the one about hiding in plain sight…and, you know, not alerting the fucking feds by breaking down their wall.
#59 – Drink
Blacklight Virus or no Blacklight Virus, Desmond never doubted his own ability to get any man plastered and Alex Mercer was no exception and felt proud of this ability, because it further proved that Alex was still quite human, though the older man wished he could have done without the puking and hangovers he got.
#60 – Duty
Desmond often wondered what Altair and Ezio would have done were they in his situation with Alex…Altair would nag about his duty to the order, while Ezio would nag about his duty to carry on the line.
