Flying lessons (Jekyll/Rose and family?)

Snake woke still curled around the bottle on the pilot's seat. He was cramped and cranky. He missed his bed and sighed wondering where the hell he was. For a moment he thought he was back in the war. Luckily that cleared before he opened his eye. There was no telling what time of day it was. Snake didn't care as he shifted around to get comfortable. He still wasn't much in the mood for company but he was going to have to be.

Reluctantly he sat up in the seat blinking at his reflection and mussed hair. He looked like shit and felt almost as bad. Rubbing his eye he slid the hatch back and listened. It was still quiet and Snake leaned the seat back intent on a few more minutes of sleep. He'd come out when he were ready.

And if you believe more then half of it you're a fool. Snake smiled.

You want to see something hilarious?

I laughed; "I'll bear that in mind. I haven't had chance to sit down and actually watch it yet"

I nodded and shrugged, frowning a little; "Sure, why not"

Snake flipped through to the channel the US Police broadcasts were on and waited. It wasn't long until Snake was on the TV with a huge list of crimes scrolling by on the side and security films playing.

I'm a TV star.

My eyes widened a little as I watched the pictures move; "They really like you..." I said softly. "If you were in the war, if you fought for your country, then why are they after you?" I frowned deeply, trying to make sense of it all.

They sent my squadron to our deaths on purpose. Snake shrugged. I could've delt, everyone plays propaganda bullshit during the war.

They didn't stop. The government burned my parents alive because I made it back. Snake grinned at Henry. Now they've got some domestic problems.

"That's horrific!" I said, my eyes still widened. Is this really what happens in this time, in war?

I didn't however manage a smile as Snake did; "Yes, I imagine they do. Are they still after you?"

Tell me about it.

Snake chuckled. They're always after me but they'd rather I stop returning the favor.

I laughed; "Yes, although do they really expect you to stop!" it wasn't a question, it was a statement. I turned my head back to the TV again for a few moments, trying to make sense of everything I had been told and everything on the screen. I wasn't really shocked by Snake's actions, I guessed that Hyde would do exactly the same thing, even if he wasn't being chased by the government.

Yes. Snake grinned. If I get my way they'll have to.

I smiled; "You know, I think Hyde would do exactly the same thing...!

Snake looked over at Henry very seriously. I am like him and what's inside is worse.

Snake sighed. Most people don't know me like this. They see what I am out there and it's not good.

I nodded, I understood, at least on some basic level; "All they see is the monster and they forget that there is a man behind it all..."

I don't want them to think there is a man left.

I looked at him for a few moments before nodding, I thought I understood; "Whereas I am still trying to make everyone see that I'm not just Hyde..." I sighed.

Snake shook his head. If they see a man they'll start looking. I've watched three go that way and it's not happening again. Even if I got to start gunning people down every damned day.

"Three go that way?" I frowned, I couldn't help but think however that I was probably stepping on various dangerous ground with him.

My fiance was killed when I lost my eye, Maggie.. Snake paused and just shook his head. Sometimes he missed that woman more then he should. I walked away from Katherine after they used her as bait and then tried to electrocute her.

Snake took a deep breath. They were after Xena for 'while too but I put a stop to it.

"I'm sorry..." was all I could think to say. I thought Hyde was bad, but this...this was different. I sighed and lowered my eyes a little, thinking of Lisa for a few moments. "I had a fiancee too...Lisa..." I started; "Hyde came out on my wedding day, tried to hurt her but I managed to gain control for a few minutes, until I ran onto John's sword, tried to end it, it didn't work, as you see...I just didn't want him killing anymore people"

Snake nodded in understanding. I've been like that before.

He turned the TV off sick of hearing the government rambling on about something or another. I learned long time ago that Apollyon lives to destroy. I've put it to good use.

"Rose...she seems to be able control him... well not control him, but she can handle him. It's strange, he's never been the way he is with anyone else before... but then no one has ever stood up to him the way she does" I smiled a little.

Takes them off guard when someone stands up to them. Snake smiled. Even worse when I started putting him to "good" use. He didn't know what the fuck to make of that.

I laughed; "Yes, it certaintly took him off guard" I contined to smile; "I'm not sure how to put him to "good" use... or even if I could."

Snake laughed. From what I've heard he'd make a good interrogator.

"Interrogator?" I frowned, I hadn't heard that term before.

Yeah someone who extracts information from people, one way or another.
