Donovan was glad that Carly was able to separate him from the other personality, it felt good to know she was able to clear her mind enough to do so. He listened to Eden start to explain going off of his accident but it seemed more like she might have been referring to whatever hit him in the forest, not the truck though that didn't exactly help. The little discussion over what he was like at night made him uncomfortable very easily what with his lack of memory at night and while Eden knew it wasn't him the whole event still seemed to impact her like Carly. One very prevalent thought in his mind was that if he ever got the chance to meet this other personality is that he would do everything to rid himself of it for everyone's safety including his own. He could feel the reluctance coming off Carly in waves but he thought off something that might help her feel less so, and help his conscious.
"You shouldn't have to feel sorry Carly. I'm just sorry I didn't listen to you sooner about what happened to me and now that I know its true I need your help to stop what has been hurting people, I can't let there be more pain anymore." Donovan said getting some of his own guilt out which helped lift him up a bit but what was most important was to let Carly know just why he needed her help because any more injuries or terrified people was going to be more than he could take without a response.

I'm really enjoying all these characters so far. Have a feeling most everyone is going to be watching their backs around Heinrich for a bit and I honestly wouldn't blame them.
Donovan listened to the impending arrival of Carly who was definitely not in the know that he was going to be there as well. He had many fond memories of the three of them hanging out or having a good laugh over something or other and one or two of them flashed for a moment in his mind. It was the look on Carly's face when she locked on to him, he had sort of guessed it wouldn't take long to notice him, that hurt him a bit just recognizing the blind terror in her expression. It was more than awkward for him watching the smaller girl trying to pull Eden into the apartment in what her mind was likely an attempt to save her as Eden tried to talk. It took a bit of work but Eden seemed to get Carly to stop trying to close the door but it really was all on him from there when the smaller girl looked back to him still afraid but more reasonable than a few seconds ago.
"Shes right. I wouldn't be here if she hadn't stopped by." Donovan said softly but with purpose keeping eye contact trying to get it across as best he could.
Donovan was mostly harmless which generally was well projected in his manners, the way he spoke, and most of all his relaxed if a bit down body language. If Carly could see it and put it together just how different the other him was it might be just enough to get her to let her guard down for a moment to let Eden speak and be listened to.

Donovan realized how negative he had just sounded and made a mental note to keep his mouth shut, he figured it best to keep it to himself for now. There was a bit of uncertainty to be had though what with the overwhelming reaction most people had to Donovan but really he hadn't talked with them barely at all since they tried to get him to believe something was wrong in the first place. The silence was equal parts his fault a much as his friends for both sides shock at the other but it all revolved around him regardless. However, there was still hope that despite everything that they were put through his friends could be reasoned with now that he knew better than to doubt them.
"Time heals all wounds...I think that was how it went at least." Donovan said remembering a quote he heard once doing his best to agree with Eden but ready to talk with Carly.
Donovan looked at the apartment building as he got out of the car which gave him the awkward thoughts of if he locked the door and other less important subjects. He lightly shook his head really not wanting it to bug him and would follow Eden to Carly's door where he stood behind his friend to the side. It didn't entirely surprise him that Carly got a bottom floor room given that she was probably in and out of the place often enough that being a couple floors up would be less convenient, one thing Donovan with his third floor apartment knew all too well. Him standing a little off to the side was just a way to sort of silently announce his presence hopefully without terrifying Carly and to give Eden a chance to speak before he was formally noticed.
"You think she already made breakfast or just decided to make it for both of you?" Donovan said managing a light grin, he felt like he had to lighten up for Eden's sake, which was scolded by his stomach which roared at him a bit for thinking about food, it wasn't without warrant because he didn't have an appetite the rest of yesterday what with all the excitement and his episode.

Donovan took the passenger side getting and shortly having to readjust the seat so he wouldn't be uncomfortable. He never had been a massive fan of cars, not when he could walk anywhere in town at least, but he figured it was a pain to have to constantly shift things around so he refrained from getting one. He saw Eden text Carly having a feeling that she may or may not have stretched the truth a bit but he could have been wrong. When the heat went on it got to work thawing him out which he tried not to make a big deal of, not a fan of complaining about things like being cold, but it was probably for the best since he wouldn't have done it himself. His seatbelt was on a few seconds later, the door having been closed once he was seated properly, though he wasn't exactly worried about an accident in town but you never know.
"Even if it wasn't me that other person is still around ready to cause trouble, I can understand why they might not trust me with that. But if they know I'm still around it could calm them down I guess." Donovan said sort of thinking about it from his friend's perspective but having a rare lack of confidence.
If the first visit had results it would make him feel a bit better and he really hoped it would go well enough because if they couldn't convince Carly it would show the impact of just how much the other him did.

No problem, I'll be busy for most today anyways but I'll see if I can get a reply in later.
Appearance: 
Name: Heinrich Aschelman.
Age: 30.
Nationality: German.
Three random facts about your character:
1. He prefers vodka to beer, not something he would openly admit.
2. He despises classical music.
3. He finds his glowing eye to be quite funny.
Mutant Power:
Heinrich is capable of generating and manipulating darkness in a variety of creative ways. He has kept his powers hidden fairly well all things considered but he has shown a proficiency for using darkness and shadows for quick transportation or as weapons/constructs to suit his purpose.
Biography:
Heinrich was born during WW1 in Berlin where he may not have known of the conflict directly, but he recognized it from a young age and it sobered him up pretty quickly. The economic collapse afterwards was what he was born into and it made him harden up for himself, his father, and his sister. He had to learn how to survive on the streets because of the lack of any kind of money but he saw it as a trial by fire to see if he deserved to keep going on. His powers became something he would rarely use in public unless his thievery caught up to him which would prompt him to either fight or flee both of which he could do.
Heinrich has little regrets about some of the things he did in his early youth because he wanted to survive without being on the edge of poverty like so many others and it colored him to be more independent in his later years. He was alive to see much of the propaganda slung by the nationalists and seeing people being brainwashed was not pleasant, he was prideful of his country and some of the accomplishments the party had managed, but like many Germans he had little love for Hitler or his regime. He was actively opposed to some of the actions of the new government and while he wasn't alone he avoided backlash for longer than most. His father and sister were imprisoned to draw him out, he knew it was a trap but it was obvious his gift was the only reason his family lived and he would find out just how much.
As much as it pained him he ended up as a literal shadow operative for the Nazis to keep his family alive and well but never once did he enjoy it or anything that he did. He has done some horrible things to better people than him and it grew that darkness which he found himself in more and more. He was a curiosity for many doctors and scientists who never got to lay a hand on him which he felt a bit thankful for though he expected if he died his body would have been one of the first things on their tables. He found his right eye as an irony to his power and thought more on it thinking maybe it was a sign of sorts.
Heinrich eventually fled Germany part of the way through the war when he saw an opportunity, he effectively faked his death, and managed to get to Switzerland where he could thing about what he was supposed to do with his new freedom. It was there that he was found by "The Strategic Scientific Reserve" who saw the use in a mutant such as him but not only a mutant, a German mutant who might be sympathetic to a cause. They weren't wrong about him wanting to join up to get revenge on those who forced him to commit atrocities but he had another reason, to rid his country of the dictatorship and make Germany a country worthy of the pride of its people even if he isn't fit to live in it.

Works with me. I hope it ends up getting some good background behind Jackie that could effect Don and Eden after dealing with her a few times.
I think the idea could work either way, just depends if we want a more vengeful Jackie or level-headed Jackie. Its flexible enough to do either and if done right could draw the line for anyone else getting involved forcing sides for a good conflict. It could even push Don and Eden closer if we want it pan out that way or not, I wanted to make it work whatever way seems more interesting to you.
