Aiden smiled all the more when Orion had greeted him in return. He hadn't seen a smile on Orion's face since the news. Now that he had, it let Aiden know there was some room for improvement. Some room to cheer up Orion. Aiden would do his best even if he had to work hard at it. After all, allowing the gloom and doom to settle on Orion's shoulders wouldn't be right. It would just add stress and probably escalate his poor condition. Orion would probably not last a year if he let the gloom loom over him like a wraith.
Aiden watched as Orion stood up. His condition was definitely loads better. "Good to see you're doing better!" Aiden chimed. Not even the least bit bothered by the fact that Orion was in nothing but a hospital robe. Orion had simply focused on Damien though.
Feeling someone's gaze on him, Damien brought his attention back onto Aiden and Orion. He could see Orion had his gaze on him. He wasn't sure what to think until Orion had merely nodded. It looked like things would be peaceful between the three for now. Listening to what Orion told him, Damien gave a nod of understanding in return.
"Alright. We'll wait out in the hallway. When you're ready, just come out and we'll leave." With that, Damien looked over at Aiden whom didn't seem to have caught a single word that had transpired between the adults. "...Aiden?" Damien called Aiden's name. As if this were his cue, Aiden seemed to spring into action. Turning on the spot, Aiden gave Orion a friendly wave before heading out of the door. Damien followed him soon after, shutting the door behind him as he went.

Orion waited for them to leave the room before he went over to the closet. Opening the closet an image of him reflected from a mirror on the inside of the closet door greeted him. Man did he look a mess. Part of his rugged appearance bothered him. The rest simply didn't care. What was the point in caring about his appearance anyway. There were more important things to worry and care about.
So Orion let his robe drop and took out the pair of dark gray jean like pants inside. He put one leg in then the other and buttoned the waist. The jeans fit his torso fairly well, not to tight or to baggy. Putting on a pair of tall hiker boots next, he tucked the legs of the jeans inside the boots. Finally he took the sleeveless heavy black shirt that someone had left him off its hanger. Slipping into it, Orion gazed at his appearance in the mirror.
He looked slightly better with the fresh clothes. His white beard and long hair though still made him look much longer. It would do. Orion left the robe on the ground, not caring to either pick it back up or fold it. He walked out of the room and joined Damien and Aiden in the hallway. "I'm ready." He told the both of them.

soon as they had stepped out of the room, Aiden looked over at Damien. Was he really going to help them? Aiden wanted to believe it but Orion and Damien didn't exactly seem to get along well. Not only that but what about the people here at the base? Weren't there more pressing matters here for Damien to do? The teenager couldn't help but wonder as he looked at Damien in silence...but not for long, knowing Aiden. "So uh...Damien?" Aiden spoke.
Damien turned to the teenager with a raised eyebrow. Just what was Aiden thinking of now? "...Yes?"
"...Are you really going to help us?" Aiden asked him.
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't intend on helping you."
"Are you sure? I mean, don't you have tings you gotta do here? You come off as one of those leading types...at least from what I know considering you had me babysat while I was here. So, how come you're able to do this?"
Damien looked hard at Aiden for a moment. The kid had a point. "Really, don't worry about it. This place will be cleaned out. People are leaving after what they found out. There's no need for me..." In his eyes, there really wasn't a need for him. Whatever Ivan said about him being one of "the four" meant nothing to him. Damien's life was pretty much nothing now that he found out what he had been taken in for and raised for. His meaning in life had been taken away from him. Now, he was left with figuring out what to do with himself. Leaving the world would be a good step to help him find a new meaning. Whatever it would be, he wasn't sure. He just figured that in order to find it that he had to leave this life behind and find another one. Maybe what he started would mean something? It would be a good way to redeem themselves, Damien included.
"No...need for you? What do you mean by that?" Aiden asked him.
"As I've said...don't worry about it." No sooner had he said this when Orion finally showed up. He still appeared unkempt but Damien couldn't blame him. The news and crap he got since the organization was taxing on one's self. So, naturally, he would be depressed like this. Hearing that Orion was ready, Damien gave a nod. Extending a hand out, Damien tore open a portal.
"This will take us right to Winter Tundra. As for finding Doctor Shutter, unfortunately, I do not know exactly where in Immigrant's Town he could be. So, we'll have to look around." With that, Damien decided he'd best lead the way. If he didn't Orion might suspect him of intending to close the portal up or something on him. Aiden gave Orion the thumbs up and hopped in after Damien without a care in the world. The kid trusted them both.

Orion listened to Damien as he explained where the portal would take them. Part of Orion didn't trust the teen. And why should he after everything that happened? If Damien wanted too, he could have created a portal into a pool of lava or something like that. Orion could be stepping into his death.
The idea of death though was becoming too familiar to Orion. Even if this portal did lead to his death it wasn't like he was already at death's door already. "Alright then." He stepped into the portal.
