He had been tired. Actually, more like he had been exhausted and to the point of passing out. The extraction of his AI had taken a much larger toll on him than he would have liked to admit. And because of that, he was going to make a better method to keep the situation that he was away from the likes of others. The former human didn't need anyone else attempting to try and dig into his mind right now. He just wanted to get a little bit of a sleep, the small amount of sleep that he had decided to try and get. And of course, the last thing that he had expected was for Carolina to decide to bunk with him. Well, more like sleep in the same bed with him. He knew that she probably didn't have anywhere to go, but if she wanted to she could have easily made a room of her own right next to him, as the room next to his didn't have any occupants with it. At first, he had been confused, and if he was capable of blushing he would have done exactly like that. He had to constantly keep telling himself that this was the leader of Alpha team. That she was just doing what she considered to be the best for her. And since she didn't have armor, it may be best for him to stay around her in case anything bad happened. Which it seemed like nowadays that happened quite a bit. The wildcat had curled up on the decently sized mattress, having his back toward Carolina. She had told him to go to bed, but for the longest while, he didn't sleep. He had made sure to slow his breathing for the majority that he was laying, and there was no way for Carolina to see if he was awake unless she wanted to take his helmet. He instead just stared at the clock that appeared in the bottom left corner of his helmet. He watched as the minutes ticked by. Those minutes turned into hours, and soon he finally did fall asleep. Thanks to the sleep schedule that he had given himself, he didn't have to worry about sleeping in all that much as he got up fairly early in the morning, 0400 to be specific. A schedule that Carolina still didn't know about. Freelancers were light sleepings, but thanks to the exhaustion of his break down he was sleeping a little bit heavier than he would have liked. At least he didn't store. Hearing a voice though, his mind started to kick itself back into gear. Washington blinked open his eyes, although they remained fairly close. In response to the female's words, Washington didn't bother to really move. His mind clouded completely with sleep.
The shrieks and the movements happened seconds between each other. Causing Washington's eyes to suddenly widen themselves and his adrenaline pumped through his body. He sat up in the bed, making his arm as if he was about ready to pull out a sidearm as if there was a threat in the room. Carolina's yell to wake him up had definitely done the trick. The armored soldier opened his mouth before he was really able to take in the situation. "What's wro-" Washington didn't have time to finish his sentence until he realized who he was looking at. He was actually looking at Carolina. Her red hair unmistakeable. His jaw his helmet dropped and happiness bubbled up in his chest. He moved his arms to looked at his gloved hands. He had a full set of armor on now. Which definitely hadn't been easy to sleep next to. Washington seemed stunned for a moment as he looked at all the functions of his suit coming back. "No way.." Wash whispered to himself before standing up from the bed. Looking behind his back and basically checking himself all over. Almost like a dog chasing its tail. "We're humans again!" Washington said ecstatically with a smile on his face as he turned his attention toward Carolina. She still didn't have her armor but she was still human. Then that raised the question. How the hell did this happen? "But how? We didn't change anything. You literally just got here so how..." Washington questioned Carolina as if she would know the answers. The thought of having his full set of armor back was certainly nice, but for some reason, he raised one of his arms and touched the back of his neck, as if expecting something to be there. Episolon didn't suddenly appear and the scar was still there. He could feel it under his undersuit. His body visibly relaxed, but he didn't say anything about the movement, and he still didn't take off his helmet. In fact, he had almost completely forgotten that he was indeed wearing a helmet at all. "speech"
