"The lady wants you alive. Let's just say that she has taken quite a liking to you. Between you and me, she can be quite obsessive, so I can sympathize with your confusion," the man replied calmly, knowing that Isaac would ask him that. "The girl, however, is too much of a liability for her, so she has to go." Aiming their guns at the two, Hayley snarled and began to slowly back away, hoping that Isaac could direct their attention to him while she tried to help him somehow.

Isaac takes a deep breath as, once again, his body begins turning black as night as he rearranges the carbon molecules in his body. "I'm sorry," he says, taking and offensive stance, "but I can't let you kill her. She is my friend, after all." That said, Isaac stomps his foot on the ground and creates a smokescreen of carbon dust before he starts moving through the Medici's ranks, easily dealing with the blinded men.

"Open fire!" Hayley could hear the sound of manic gunfire the moment the smokescreen went up in the air. With her presence now obscured and Isaac making quick work of the men, she quickly ducked and began to move away from the source of danger. However, the cold feeling in her chest intensified and she once again felt her body refusing her brain's orders to get out of the way. Black mist, blending with the carbon smokescreen, came out of her mouth and her shadow, swirling around her like a vortex. Having finally seen it for the first time, she became alarmed at the bizarre sight. What's going on? W-What's happening to me?! she thought as she struggled to flee.

Bullets ricocheting off of his diamond-hard skin, the sounds of gunfire and men groaning in pain, Isaac continues beating them down. As the smokescreen finally begins to dissipate, revealing Isaac, Hayley, and a few men who were lucky enough to escape a beating while the carbon was hanging in the air, Isaac turns to them and opens his mouth to tell them to run, until they do so of their own free will, screaming about a monster. Turning around to look at what scared them off, he feels his eyes widen as he takes in the sight of Hayley. It's happening again! he realizes.

Hayley struggled under the strain of her power, trying to hold it back until she couldn't take it anymore. With the same ear-splitting scream, the vortex of darkness burst into a full-blown black storm. The horns and wings grew out once more and an additional transformation took place. Her hands and forearms were coated in the black mist, before they hardened into a pair of sharp claws with dark metal layered on her skin like armor. Black tribal markings began appearing on her arms, head and torso. With a flap of her wings, the dark vortex dispersed, finally revealing Hayley in all her monstrous glory. She didn't look as unhinged as she was before, but the very existence of her horns, jet black wings and claws were enough to give her a demonic vibe. "Is...aac..." she moaned in an reverberating voice and tried to pick herself up, disoriented and somewhat not herself.

Without thinking about his own safety, Isaac rushes forward, ignoring the cries of protest from Vincent. What do you want me to do?! Isaac fires back at him as he tries to lock up his legs. She's our friend, Vincent! We can't just abandon her when she needs us! Relenting, Vincent lets Isaac run up to Hayley. Once there, he wraps his arms around his friend, saying, "It's alright, Hayley. Everything's gonna be fine."

Hayley's sight was heavily blurred by her disorientation and by her out-of-control power and Isaac's voice was heavily distorted by her own panicking mind. "I-Isaac...?" she groggily asked, trying to make sense of what was happening. It wasn't a short while later before a pulse from within her body stabilized her power, allowing her to finally recover at last. It would appear that the emotionless being recognized her situation and acted accordingly. "Isaac... what happened? What's going on with me...?" she asked, eyes wide as she stared at what she had become. "What am I?"

"I don't know," Isaac replies, pulling away, only to hold onto Hayley's shoulders. "This has happened before, but you came out alright. It was thanks to that other you in your head that you returned to normal. There's nothing to worry about, I swear." Even though he says that as convincingly as he can, his own mind is a maelstrom of worried thoughts. Looking into Hayley's eyes, he speaks to the being in her head, saying, "I know you're there. Could you please help Hayley?"

Suddenly, another voice came out of Hayley's mouth, one that belonged to the 'other her'. "The flow of energy output has been stabilized. The operator's control over the output has been established," she said, much to Hayley's shock as she covered her mouth. "Isaac... Is that the 'other me' you were talkin' about? Her voice sends chills down my spine..." she murmured with a shudder while trying to learn more about her new limbs with little success.

"Yeah, that's her," Isaac replies, unable to help but feel sorry for the poor girl for having all of this thrust onto her all at once, even though he had given her a detailed description of what happened last time. After a few moments of silence, he then pulls her into another hug as he says, "At least you have that other you. She should be able to help you control this."

"Yeah, I definitely want to keep a lid on this..." Hayley replied, curling up in Isaac's embrace until it became too awkward for her to remain still for too long. Clearing her throat and picking herself up, she began to move her hands and arms, sighing with relief when she found out that they were still functioning normally. She then tried to flap her wings, but the movements came out as being completely awkward and uncoordinated as if she was a newly hatched chick. "Okay, I'm gonna have to do something about 'em," she mused, then turned to him with her mind now relatively clear. "So... How do I turn back?"

How are we supposed to know that?! Vincent asks. I...I actually think I might know, Isaac responds, to which Vincent answers, Really? And how would you happen to know that, Mr. Genius? Creasing his brow in thought, Isaac says, I think it might be similar to when you and I use our shield. Technically, it's a type of transformation, only it's not as extreme. Deciding to test that theory, Isaac tells Hayley, "Try clearing your mind. Then, imagine yourself without all of the...additions. Keep in mind, this hasn't happened to me, so I might not know what I'm talking about."

"Easier said than done, but better than nothing..." Hayley murmured, but closed her eyes nonetheless. She took a deep breath as an image of herself appeared in her mind, completely unadulterated. Slowly, she felt as if someone was tickling her back and pouring cold water onto her head as her wings and horns began to shrink. Her hand felt heavy and wet as the armors melted into black sludge that fell into her shadow without a sound, revealing her human hands and forearms once more. Once her horns and wings followed suit, she opened her eyes, her steely blue eyes back where they belonged. "Well?"

Isaac lets out a breath of relief, watching as Hayley slowly reverted back to normal and he wasn't just BS'ing. "You're good," he says, holding a thumb up. "Everything's back to normal." That was a lucky guess, Vincent says, somewhat impressed that Isaac might have known what he was talking about. Tell me about it, Isaac answers. Then, to Hayley, he says, "Let's get out of here before those guys show up with back-up."

"Whew... I actually miss looking normal for once." Looking at herself and feeling her body, the blonde showed untold relief about her normal appearance. When the raven-haired male suggested that they hightail it, she waited for a second to gather her thoughts. "Great idea," Hayley replied without missing a beat, following Isaac away from the scene of battle. As they made their way out, she looked back at him and said, "That was way too close. I was lucky you knew about that. Otherwise, I might have to lock myself until Halloween!"

"We were both lucky," Isaac says with a chuckle, walking to his room to look out of the window, in case they were followed. Seeing nothing but regular civilians, some of which were walking dogs, he breathes a sigh of relief and exits his room. "I just figured it was similar to when I coat my body in carbon. When I woke up after getting my memory wiped, I had to do the same thing until it became second nature." Taking a seat in the kitchen, he then asks, "So, what now?"

Hayley leaned against the wall near the table, looking at her own hand. Silently thinking to herself for a while, she turned to Isaac and stated, "I want to use this power." She was aware how sudden her statement was, but she was unable to shake off the feelings that lingered around even after her transformation occurred. "When I lost control of that power, I felt something surge inside my body. Aside from being painful as fuck, it made her feel... strong, as if I can do anything... I want to use it. I want to control all that power. And those wings too! Maybe I can actually use them!"

Isaac listens as Hayley voices her ambition to control her power, feeling a sense of pride toward the young woman, knowing that, even though she had gone through something that should've been traumatic, she wasn't afraid. Smiling, he says, "Maybe you can. But I don't think I'll be able to help you use your power. I mean, I just got lucky when I helped you return to normal, but, beyond that, I don't have any clue as to how to help you." Just then, an idea pops into his head. "Maybe you can ask the other you to help you out?"

"The 'other me'?" Hayley cocked a brow, curiously looking at Isaac. "How? I don't even know how to talk to her. I know she lives inside my body and all, but how am I supposed to ask her out if I can't even contact her? Maybe I'll just call her out... It worked with you, so maybe it'll work with me..." Bracing herself for what could be an embarrassing act, she called out. "Hey, uhh... 'Other me', a little help here?" Silence crept upon them for a while before she responded, "I cannot perform direct initiative without primary control, but I can perform corresponding indirect initiative through unfocused focal awareness, accessible through the function of sleep."

"So, in other words, you'll teach me in my sleep?"

"Correct. Neural programing will be performed on a daily and gradual basis until the information is successfully uploaded into your database."

Hayley gave Isaac a deer-in-the-headlights look, not knowing what else to day.

Isaac chuckles nervously and says, "I think if she were a separate thing, she'd be a computer, considering the way she speaks." To the other Hayley, he says, "Uh, thanks. I think it'd be even easier to do it that way, now that I think about it." Then, to Hayley herself, he says, "I've heard people are more susceptible to commands and information while they sleep, so I think this'll work out pretty well."
