Love In Hell (D.D.)

1.79 "We've Already Won"

A few days later. At Alexandria. On the wall. 

I walked over to dad "30 minutes. Everyone's ready. "

He nodded.

Me "Are you? "

Dad " It's one person who brought it to this. One person."

Me " It always starts with one person. This did. What we're doing here now. "

Dad shook his head "This -- This isn't about me. "

I nodded "Yes. It isn't. You made it like that."

At my house. 

I walked over to Judith who was sitting on the street painting with chalk on the street "hey baby"

She looked at me with big eyes. 

I gave her a kiss on the head "behave while i'm away, okay?"

She nodded. 

At the gate. 

Then i walked to the gate. 

Carl and Michonne were staying back. 

I walked over to my brother "Champ"

He looked at me. 

I hugged him "come here, bro"

He hugged me back "be careful, Ken"

I nodded "you know me?"

Carl grimaced "well, if we look at the amount of times you got shot and nearly bled to death..."

Me "bro, you lost an eye"

He rolled his eyes "bite me"

I smiled.

Carl "keep an eye on the old man"

I nodded "Dad's gonna be fine"

Carl "i was talking about Daryl"

I shoved him a little, amused. 

He chuckled and hugged me again. 

I hugged him back "i love you, Champ"

Carl nodded "i love you too"

Then i got in the car with dad. We all started to drive away. We had geared up the cars with metal walls to make the cars bullet proof. 

On an open field.

Dad "When I first met him... Jesus said that my world was gonna get a whole lot bigger. Well, we found that world. We found each other. That..."bigger world" is ours by right. That we've come together for it, all of us... it's that much more true -- it's ours by right."

We heard walkers growling in distance.

Dad " Any person who would live in peace and fairness, who would find common ground... it's their right, too. Down. But those who use and take and kill to carve out the world and make it theirs alone -- we end them. We don't...celebrate it. We don't have shame about it, either. There's only one person who has to die... and I will kill him myself. I will. I will. But if it's the others... the others who prop him up, stand by his side, even those who just look the other way -- so be it. Then... we keep making the world bigger. Together. "

Ezekiel nodded " Together. Bound forever! To quote The Bard, "For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother." For she today... my sister."
