Salem said that they were here. Good, good. Unsure what else to do, he nodded, but then the girl was snapping at him to call them Catalyst, not Scott. Oh god. The anger and insistence reminded him of himself when he was younger, when they first changed their name from the mundane to the bizarre. He had been ready to throw down for it too, but he'd been a fanatical cultist. Why the fuck was she so defensive? What had Cat done here? He didn't have time to react to her, though, because then his almost-sibling had arrived.
There they were. They were here. He knew that, he knew that. Everyone said that Catalyst was the leader of the Badlands, Susie had been here and seen them for herself. This Salem guy said they were here. But without a drink to give him confidence, doubt plagued his every thought. But they were here and they... weren't happy to see him. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Louie opened his mouth then closed it. "I came to see you, to join." He rubbed his hands together nervously. "I couldn't stay there any longer. They wanted me to step up and take my dad's place and I just - I couldn't." He was starting to ramble, but then Cat abruptly cut him off.
