-AUTHOR's POV-

-1 MONTH LATER-

Months have passed now, (YN) has been torturing Rick, his group, and the entire people of Alexandria as well, not just that, but also talking half their supplies too, and punishing those who try fighting it back, and doesn't end well if they try to against (YN). And now, everyone in Alexandria fears him, of the fact how he behaves, how he communicates, and how he acts towards them. But, there is only one, one person who doesn't fear (YN) at all.
.
.
One morning, at (YN)'s home base, he was walking around in the huge garage observing his group offloading supplies from trucks they got from Alexandria.

(YN): Good, I want those supplies organized, understand?

Saviors: Yes Negan!

(YN): Good, now-

Suddenly, two gunshots were heard outside of the building, as the saviors startled and panic a bit and Regina appears...

Regina: Negan!

(YN): The hells going on?!

Regina: It's that kid with the patch, he sneaked into one of our trucks!

(YN): Kid with a patch? Wha...Oooh. Hehe, I know who it is. Okay, lead me to him quick.

Outside the building, we then see couple of saviors surrounding a truck, where he gunshots were coming from, and in the back of the loading truck, there, we surprisingly see Carl, who happened to sneak in the truck back at Alexandria during the morning. He was aiming and waving an assault rifle around towards the saviors...

Carl: Stay back! I only want Negan, okay?! He killed my friends! No one else needs to die!

(YN) then shows up, walking and passing through his men and to stand behind one of them...

(YN): Damn kid, you never cease me to impress me day after day. And honestly, you look so adorable holding that gun. Did you pick it up cause it looks cool? You did, did ya? I ain't going to lie, you really scare the shit out of me.

Suddenly, Dwight rushes behind Carl, tackling him down and him dropping the gun. Dwight pins Carl down, aiming his gun at him...

(YN): Dwight, stand back, I got this.

Dwight: Yes, of course.

(YN): Besides...

(YN) walks up to Carl, and offers him a hand...

(YN): That's no way to treat a guest.

Carl: ...

(YN): Come on kid, let me show you around.

Carl had no choice, he doesn't have anything to defend himself, but the fact (YN) is being this nice to him makes him feel a bit unsure, but then again...he doesn't see a way out. So he goes along, and to be picked up by (YN). As he does, he then spots Daryl up ahead being held in a cage...

(YN): Don't worry, he's fine, as long he doesn't fuck up.

Carl: ...

(YN): Come on.

Carl follows (YN), and Carl began to see the outside of (YN)'s gates, tagged with lots of words saying "Beware" "Don't test us" and "Always watch your back" and also some walkers being stuck through poles and not able to get out, also being in chains around their necks. Then, they both enter, and Carl to see alot of saviors working and u loading supplies off from trucks, and then to enter the building, and see more of them stocking and loading supplies in the furnitures...

(YN): So, how long you've been plotting this?

Carl: Wh-What??

(YN): You know, hiding in the truck? Come on kid keep up.

Carl: ...Since your guys came this morning.

(YN): Ah, of course. And how did you manage to sneak in through my trucks?

Carl: I...waited, till no one saw me

(YN): Heh, smart.

Carl: ...You have a lot of supplies.

(YN): Jealous much? It's alright, I understand, but you should also understand why I have a lot, right? You know it, your dad knows it, everyone you know, knows it.

Carl: ...

(YN): Does your dad know?

Carl: ...No, he left early this morning to get supplies.

(YN): Really? Huh, give him credit for that. Motherfuker always goes late.

Carl: ....

(YN): Honestly, your dad can be a dumbass sometimes.

Carl: Don't talk about him like that-

(YN): Or what? You're gonna do something? Just letting you know, you're in my territory.

Carl: .......

(YN): Wise. Anyways, follow me upstairs.

(YN) takes Carl upstairs, and taking him to his office.
.
.
(YN) and Carl arrive to his office, as Carl looks around, and to see his office nothing but like a workout room, having a bed, sofa and his weapons: AJ, Lucille, and Clementine in the table counter.

(YN): Sit. Let's get started.

Carl: Get started on..what??

Carl sits down, and (YN) Sits across Carl and says...

(YN): I want to get to know you, Carl.

Carl: ...Why?

(YN):  You're smart, in fact, I'm going to be 101% real here to know how smart you are. But, how old are you?

Carl: ....15.

(YN): Wow, 15...now, you see Carl...I expected a kid like you, mope around, whine and cry around,  not do anything and not seeing the problem. But you, you stand your ground. You stole my weapons, you threatened me, you find your mission, finding me and you shot down two of my people, and I mean LITERALLY, shot my people.

Carl felt a bit uncomfortable now the fact (YN) raised his tone at him, and sounded very upset at the last sentence...(YN) takes a deep breathe...

(YN): So, you should be smart enough to know, that I am not gonna let this slide.

Carl: ....

(YN): ....Okay, I can't.

Carl: What..??

(YN): I can't even look at you right with that patch in your eye, you gotta take it off. As of matter of fact...I'm kinda curious, I wanna see what Santa got me.

Carl: Wh-Wha-No! Why would-

(YN): Two men! Two...men. Do you really wanna piss me off?

Carl for sure didn't wanted to show (YN) his eye, but then again...what can he do? He cannot fight back, he doesn't have anything on him, he's helpless, and the fact he knows what (YN) can do, scares him a bit. So, he has no choice...but to show his eye. Carl slowly takes off his hat, and to then unwrap his patch from his eye...

(YN): Take your time, I can wait.

Carl takes it off completely, and his hair from his right side was covering his eye...

(YN): Almost there, just pull that hair away.

Carl then moves his hair away....and reveal (YN) is eye, a one, big gap eye whole..

(YN): Jesus Christ! Now that, it's disgusting! No wonder it's covered up. I mean, do you even look at yourself at the mirror? That is gross as hell! Haha, I feel like touching it, can I? Oh come can I?

Carl: ..........

(YN) suddenly felt bad, not only cause of making fun of him, but the fact he's still a kid...and can see he's making him upset...he felt a bit messed up for Carl...he's still a kid after all.

(YN): ...*sighs* Holy hell kid. Look...from what I've seen, you can take care of yourself, and you can fight back, but...it's very easy to know that you're still a kid. Honestly, I'm-

Carl: Just forget it....

(YN): ....Very well then.

Carl: ...I hate you.

(YN): Heh, see kid? That's what I'm talking about, just us guys breaking each others balls. This is the thing your shitty dad should teach you about.

Carl: .......

(YN): Also...I know Michonne isn't your actual mother, but I'm quite curious, where is she now?

Carl: ..............

(YN): ...Damn, dead huh? ...How?

Carl: ...I shot her.

(YN): Oh. Wow, damn, no wonder you're a serial killer in making. Now that, is an example of breaking balls.

Suddenly, mentioning Carl's mom made him feel even more upset, and the fact he had to say he had to shoot her...which kinda reminded (YN) a somewhat familiar thing that he did to...

(YN): You know...I had to shoot someone too.

Carl: No shit, you kill.

(YN): ...This is different. I had to shoot, to avoid him not to turn.

Carl: ...O-Oh.

(YN): Yeah....

Carl: ...Who was he??

(YN): ......

Carl: Come on, I told you i shot my mom and showed you my eye, I want something in return.

(YN): *chuckling* Smart ass kid....fine, if it evens out.

(YN) took a deep breathe...and before he talks...he began to have memories of the person he, and Clementine had to shoot, the person he took care of both, the person he cherish and cared for them, and that person is a living legend till this day....

(YN): ....His name was Lee.

Carl: ...

(YN): He found me, and someone else I was with ever since this shit hole started.

Carl: So...when you...were a kid??

(YN): ...Yea....He Took cared of us, taught us how to survive, always move forward...and always keep on moving on. He...he was like a father to me

Carl: ....What happened?

(YN): ....He got bit, but manage to fight it through to save my friend, my best friend...my.....

He began to think about Clementine, how he already misses her so much now still, never has forgotten about her at all, as well as AJ, Lucille, and his friends...

(YN): Anyways...he was running out of time...so, we had to put him out of misery, but in a good way, and that's not letting him turn.

Carl: ...I'm sorry.

(YN): ....

(YN) suddenly began to have a little moment for Carl, and even though he was in the situation for killing his family and friends...but deep down, he doesn't see him doing it...or does he? Either way, (YN) won't be soft on him, he still looks
at Carl as his true enemy, as well as Rick and the rest.

Carl: ...So, who was this "someone" you were with?

(YN): ...Not your business kid.

Carl: What? Can't you just-

(YN): I said not your business kid!

Carl: Okay, damn.

(YN): ....

Carl: ....Can I put my patch back at least?

(YN): Nope.

Carl: Why the hell not?!

(YN): Heh, look at this badass here. You can't, cause I'm not done with you. And I like looking at your rad-ass badass eye, so it's staying out, like it or not.

Carl: ....

(YN): What? Got something to say?

Carl: Why haven't you killed me? Or dad? Or Daryl?

(YN): Trust me kid, I want to kill Daryl, really, and your dad too. But, Daryl is gonna make a fine soldier. Your dad, is collecting my debt, and you...well, we shall see. You're more productive to break you, more fun too.

Carl: ...

(YN): You're smart Kid, so what should I do? I can't let you go, you know that. So what should I do? Kill you? Chop your arm? Make you come completely blind? Tell me, what do you think?

Suddenly, Carl stood up, and stands in front of (YN) and threatens him again...

Carl: I think you should jump out the window to save me the trouble for killing you!

(YN): Hahaha!

(YN) gets up out of excitement...

(YN): Yes! There he is, the kid that impresses me a lot!

Carl: Whatever bullshit you're saying about me, it won't happen. If you knew us, or know anything, you would kill us, but you won't.

(YN): ....Maybe you're right, I can't, but I will. And...

He walks up closer to Carl...

(YN): You, do not know ANYTHING about me. Really, you don't, but...I know you, your dad, Daryl, everyone in your group. I know everything about you and them, and I know what you all are capable of, and if you're curious, that's fine by me, because...you're gonna find that out very, very soon.

Carl: ....

(YN): Anyways...

(YN) walks up and to grab his knife and gun, and his bat of course, walks up to Carl and says...

(YN): Let me take you back home, cause I need to go there and wait for your dad. Let's go.
