It had all happened so fast. From their positions in the comm bunker, Cedric Wessex and William Plantagenet saw the mysterious infiltrator subdue the defenders of the FBI building, before blowing up [i]the entire building[/i]. The comm bunker was safe, thankfully, but, well, the two were now in shock, Cedric taking it worse than William, being a 15-year old kid. With a start, said 15-year old kid hugged William tightly, crying into the man's chest, giving muffled yells as he did so.

"It's okay, it's okay, Cedric," spoke the soldier, ruffling Cedric's hair. "You couldn't have done anything, we couldn't have done anything." William briefly thought of his friends, friends who have died in the builing, and then...he began crying too, but it was a smaller stream of tears, due to the fact that he was more conditioned for such pain. "Look, Ced, it'll be all right, at least Elena and Constantine and Healing Spore are safe."

"We've failed..." spoke the boy, "we failed forever." Parts of his mind were still functioning despite the emotional maelstrom he was going through, processing the data from the attack. It was clear that the attacker had a new model of power armor, a model that was probably kept secret even from the Government. Nevertheless, there were...similar prototypes being developed by armed forces all over the world, just not as advanced as this.

"I think that it was Ruby who did this," Cedric continued. "She had been hurt by us," the boy was now referring to the Government as 'us', "and now she wants to hurt back in return. And, I won't lie...[i]I want to hurt her in turn.[/i]" The boy's voice now turned terrifyingly adult, like they came from the deepest pits of hell. "And I [i]will[/i]. Because she destroyed all hope, all hope for our movement, I am going to tear her apart."

"You're suprisingly coherent," was all William could say; he had to keep talking; that was his coping mechanism. "Not all is lost, though -"

"IT'S LOST TO ME!" shouted the boy, somehow pronouncing allcaps. "My old home is gone, and now my new one is gone, too! And, if Elena, Constantine, and Healing Spore had not gone away, I would have lost them, too! RUBY ATTACKED MY FAMILY AND SHE MUST PAY!" The boy was beside himself with rage, his 'flip-out' complete. William would have taken back his comment about Cedric's coherence, if the boy had not continued on:

"I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her..." he said like a Mantra.
