[ Stick is a fatalist masquerading as a realist. Convinced of his own right path and damn the consequences. He warned Matty about all this. He warned them both, but did they listen? No. Too caught up in their own daddy issues to really open up those senses and see the world for what it is. Hard. Brutal. Cold.
He doesn't want to think about the stab of heartbreak he felt when he realized it was Mike standing at Alexandra's side. Of the two of those boys, he was always the most gentle. They've destroyed that in such a short amount of time. He tried to tell the kid that he wasn't in there anymore, but did he listen? Does he ever?
Michael is dazed only a handful of moments from being struck by the vehicle. He should've sensed it, but he was too focused on the enemy at his front to worry about behind. Foolish. Luckily, it does little more than irritate his present mood which is already murderous. Literally. So when the one that fights like he does manages to separate them from the others, he decides he'll finish him first and then rejoin the fight inside.
If only it were that easy.
He gets a few hits in, but he's been disarmed of his blades. He can't manage to hit him each time, he seems to know it's coming in a way that should be impossible, but here they are at an impasse. It isn't what stops him. This isn't you!
He knows him, and Michael hesitates, fists lowering as he tilts his head in confusion to listen to the other man's heartbeat. He isn't lying. Alexandra told him---told him the memories---that life---it wasn't worth keeping. He was so confused in the beginning.

What did her heartbeat sound like then? ]
