Reunion

Traveling was pretty quick due to being a ghoul and using my kagune to propel myself and my "package" forward. I feel bad for repeatedly knocking them out every 4 to 6 hours, but I try to go easy since I know they're going to have a nice headache. Sometimes I'm lucky and I can just lull them back to sleep, those are the good times for the both of us.

After traveling for 2 days, I arrived at a church. I lurked around after noticing it was the church where Rick's group met the priest and began to sniff the air, picking up 3 strong scents and a few that still lingered. "Ah, one of these are Rick's scent." When I noticed his scent, a small smile that could only be described as soothing for those who might of seen it. Taking a deep breath, I walk up towards the door and knock on it. Due to my keen ears, I heard a few hushes and clocking of guns following by two pairs of footsteps making their way towards the door.

I didn't bother to wait and opened the door, catching the two inside off-guard. It was Carl and Tyreese, both pointing their guns towards my face. I began walking inside and gave a small comment, "You look a bit like Rick, little boy." Seeing me walk in with an unconscious boy and girl on my shoulders, they were about to shoot until they noticed that the girl was Beth; causing them to become immediately hostile, "Who are you and why do you have Beth?!" "Beth! How do you know my father?!" I sighed and said, "Shut up for a moment, let me put these two down on the benches." Thankfully they didn't try to stop me. Gently placing them down and taking a seat between them, I answer Carl and Tyreese's previous questions. "I'm Jin, nice to meet you? Not really nice since I have a rifle and pistol being pointed at me. Why do I have Beth? Because I kinda kidnapped her, along with the boy, Noah."

Noticing them about to shoot me, I quickly spoke up, "Relax! I kidnapped her to take her back to her group, since I know the one she named Rick Grimes. Which I'm guessing is your father, little boy? Now you're probably why I said kidnapped if I planned to take her back to her group. I knocked both of them out repeatedly since it's easier to carry them without worrying about them doing something dumb."

Tyreese asked confused as he lowered his weapon along with Carl, seeing that I don't mean any harm, "Something dumb?" I chuckled and said, "Beth is a bundle of depression with some crazy. That's what I like to call her. But Noah? He's fine but equality. Knock one out, knock the other out."

They both relaxed after laughing a bit at my view of equality. Carl began to ask me a bunch of questions about me and how I know his father, I blame his teenage hormones. "I met your father under a tank and I left him right after getting out of the department store. I'm 19 years old and I spent most of my days in the apocalypse where Beth ended up, Grady Memorial Hospital. I wasted a lot of time there but it's fine. How many walkers have I killed? I'd say around the 100s while I was going through Atlanta. How many people have I killed? I killed three. Why? I needed to finish the foundations for a lost and people possessed officer at the hospital. I recommend staying far away from them even though it's much better than it was when I had first arrived there."

I knew Carl was trying to get a grasp of my character and I didn't bother to hide it. I'm a chaotic variable due to the casualness of my actions, calm demeanor, and sometimes silly or odd actions/jokes. Carl didn't understand what I meant by foundations so I explained to him with a simple fact, "When you give power to people in a group, you need to control how powerful that power is and how it can be used. If you don't, you will have a bad foundation; leading to the leader being usurped from their throne."

He understood immediately and asked with a bit of shock and confusion, "You killed people to fix a shaky power structure?" I nodded and explained my reason behind killing them, "They forced the people without power into sexual slavery and beat the elderly." We talked back and forth, building up an understanding of each other while Tyreese took care of Judith. Eventually he went out and did some investigating before coming back after awhile, telling me about Gabriel and the writing on the church. I laughed and said, "He'll explain at some point."

After an hour, people started coming back. Rosita and Abraham already found me when they came in earlier to look for some tools, I simply waved but sadly Abraham pushed for answers like who I was and why am I here, do I want to save humanity by bringing Eugene to DC. My answers were, "Jin. These two sleeping beauties. No, I quite like the apocalypse." My last answer pissed him off a bit but Tyreese told him to back off. He truly had a big heart and I wonder if I should save him or not.

When Rick, Michonne, Gabriel, Sasha, and Bob came, they were stunned to see an extra face. I looked back towards Rick and smiled, "How was Terminus? That was probably a bad joke after not seeing each other for a year."

Rick stood in shock before slowly starting to walk over in a daze, catching Beth in the corner of his eyes. He hugged me tightly which honestly brought me a bit of shock since I didn't think he would be this happy to see me. 'Oh damn, he's crying.' I thought to myself before I started to pat his back. Rick said in a croaky voice, "I thought you were dead. But here you are and you have Beth with you." I chuckled and said, "It'll be difficult to kill me if someone or something wanted me dead."
