Anyway, I was getting beat pretty bad, but I felt more outraged and incredulous than scared. Some part me couldn't believe they had the nerve to strike at me. I usually don't pay attention to that side of me, tends to give very bad, very illegal ideas, but in that moment I kinda gave into it. Next thing I know, they're all on the ground bruised, beaten, naked, and utterly broken in spirit. Even to this day, I have no ifdea what happened to them. Anytime anyone brings it up, they shut down, and if any of them see even a picture of me, they breakdown into tears." "So yeah, can we move on to another question?" [b]Who was thee first person you hurt with your powers?[/b] "Besides those guys I traumatized? Well, I'd have to say my mom, though indirectly. You see, she liked this guy and he made her really happy and everything couldn't possibly be better, right? Then I decide to look into his mind and see what he was really like, as I didn't like him myself. Before I got involved, he was a pretty swell guy, but after I rummaged through his head? Turned into a sex-crazed lunatic within a week, unable to deal with the echoes of my presence in his head." "Can you ask me a question that isn't a total bummer, please! This trip down memory road is getting very unpleasant." [b]Who, outside the team, helps you control your powers?[/b] "Oh, that's easy. My mom has always had a way of calming down my . . . less pleasant urges. I don't know why she's able to do it, but your ass I'm forever grateful for her." "See, that was much better. Now, keep it up And we might get through this without me bailing out." [b]Why do you continue to use your powers?[/b] "Well . . . because if I don't use them, I'll never learn how to control them. I can feel myself get stronger everyday, and with that, I feel as if I have to fight that much harder to stay in control of myself. These powers aren't nice, they aren't pleasant, but I'm stuck with them, so might as well use 'em help people, right?" "That question was a bit iffy, but I'll let it go. But I'm watching you." [b]Why do you care about the team[/b]? "Well, cause they're all awesome for one, and for two, I like hanging around them. Keep me feeling grounded, keep me feeling human. Speaking of human, I've still got to show Riley the glory that is Game of Thrones. I'm sure she'll like it, maybe. If not, hey,she learns more about human culture either way. Also, need to see if I can figure out who Swarm is. Invasion of privacy? maybe. A fun game of deduction and clue hunting? Definitely. Oh, don't tell her about the game, she'll probably get mad.Andrea. . . I don't think she likes me very much. No idea why though, I've never done anything to her and I've only done sone casual flirting here and there. Do you think it's the demon thing, cause I'm thinking it's the demon thing." "So we're done now, right? Huh, that wasn't so bad. Well, near the end it wasn't. The beginning was horrible, but overall, a decent interview. Later." [b]When our team first came together...[/b] We destroyed our surroundings in the fight. Where was it? What did we destroy? [b]Relationships[/b] You hang out all the time with Riley/Alex to blow off steam. You once hurt Alex when you lost control of your powers. [b]Influence[/b] Happy Facade: Alex, Riley, and Robb [/hider]
