"How long are you gonna sit here?!! It's boring." the dark voice requested to know, course besides hearing the words it brought a headache to Roger's head.
"As long as I want." Roger replied.
Keeping his gaze on the water. All he wanted was some peace and quiet. Hamlet was fine to have around even if he was sassy every now and then. Though it was mainly his own head he wanted to get out of. The demonic arm he held was causing him constant headaches and his insanity. That stupid investigation. He was warned not to persue it but he was merely doing his job, and it cost him his family and sanity. Good lord this was all so wrong.
"CAN WE GO?!!!" the dark voice screeched in Roger's head, causing a angered expression to come to Roger's face as he put his hands against the sides of his head.
"Enough!!! I need at least some peace to I can keep my head!!" Roger yelled back.
"As if!! You're stuck with me now pal cause that's my arm you're using!"
"I didn't ask for it."
"Well you still got it."
Pressing his hands against his head, Roger cringed as he tried to ignore the other voice. This was so annoying. Why did the arm have to still have part of the original owner's mind in it? How was that possible?! Well...it was a demon's arm so....that was why. Standing to his feet he slowly moved his hands off the sides of his head. Waiting a few moments a relieved sigh left him.

Thressa gazed out at the water as she walked. She had just noticed a figure sitting there, as she got closer she could hear him talking but didn't know who to. Her footsteps were soft and steady so she doubted that any human would hear her coming though it was possible, especially since she didn't know if the person she was approaching was actually human or not.
"Hi," she said as she reached him and stood beside him. He was sitting on the ground but she was comfortable standing, at least for the moment. She didn't mind meeting new people, usually anyway.
She smiled at the stranger kindly, she had no idea he was a past experiment. "I'm Thressa, who are you?" She asked curious but kind.

Even though his strength had been increased, nothing else really had been increased with it. So he didn't hear her coming. Besides he was more preoccupied with the demon's voice in his head. Course when she spoke, Roger was pulled from his thoughts and slightly startled. Dark brown eyes turned their gaze to her surprised.
"Oh....h...hi." Roger greeted.
"Who's this?! What she want?!" the dark voice demanded.
How should I know? Roger thought back.
He couldn't speak out loud now to the voice, there was a person here with him. Well the voice soon got it's answer, the girl's name was Thressa. Well young lady's name. She was young and well it had been a while since he talked to someone that wasn't Hamlet.
"I'm Roger." Roger answered.
Roger didn't know who Thressa worked for, if he had then things would be quite different. He did his best to give a kind smile back though he struggled with it. Considering what he knew the demon could turn him into and just how dangerous his other arm was. Roger really hoped that she wouldn't take notice of his bandaged left arm, it was hard to cover the whole thing from the fingertips all the way up to new his shoulder. That was how much the demon's arm took up.
"So what are you...doing out here Miss Thressa?" Roger asked.

She couldn't help but wonder at his stutter. She was curious if it was because he wasn't usually around people or if she had actually accidentally scared him. When he told her his name his voice was more even making her think that she had accidentally scared him.
"It's nice to meet you Roger," She said in a kind voice.
She didn't think anything of Roger, she hadn't done anything but glance though his files to figure out what was done to him and she couldn't ever recall a picture or anything since she hadn't really looked. She didn't know at this point that that was who the file was on either. She didn't really notice anything unusual about him, his arm was bandaged but that could be from anything.
"I come out here to clear my head sometimes, right now it's to try to forget that I need to find someone that I can't find," She could never bring herself to outright say it was Reid she was looking for, perhaps if she encountered someone who had actually seen him she might. She didn't even want to take him back, actually she would help him hide (as if he needed that) but he seemed to be nowhere to be found. "So what are you doing out here?" She asked curious and polite, she thought it a fair question since she had answered the same thing.

Well she did startle him so that added to his stutter, course having a demon in your head that could turn you insane at a moment's notice was also adding to it. He didn't want to hurt anybody but that was impossible to be sure of. After all, Hamlet was terrified of him whenever he snapped and the demon arm hidden under the bandages never helped. Even when he went to his sane self, the imp was still scared of him. Couldn't blame him though.
"You're looking for someone? May I ask who if that's okay with you?" Roger asked.
He used to be a detective on the police force and that urge to help others was still in him. Course the demon was making it very hard to do that along with everyone he once knew believed him to be dead from that car crash. God he hated this.
"What are you doing?! You do realize you can't help her even if you want to!" the dark voice hissed.
"I can try..." Roger muttered under his breath, forgetting for a moment that Thressa was here.
Course he soon heard her ask what he was doing out here and he held a surprise look. Great what was he supposed to tell her? He was homeless and he did come here to get away from the horrible noises of the city. So taking a seat on the ground, a sigh left him.
"Well...I really had nothing else to do and...I just thought about coming out here." Roger replied as he turned his dark brown gaze to her.
"Oh well if you were bored, you could've done something productive. Like, oh I don't know...GATHER SOME FOOD OR SOMETHING TO KEEP WARM WITH?!!" the voice yelled.
This caused Roger to put his hands against his head and look away from Thressa. Good death he just wasn't going to shut up!!

No one had yet asked for more information when she said she was looking for someone. She smiled at Roger as she tried to think of how to put what she wanted to say into words.
"His name is Reid, he-he was kept somewhere for years," Thressa started then took a big breath. "After he escaped I found out he was my half brother and I've been looking for him ever sense. I-I don't think he knows we're related and I just want to tell him," She said the last sentence in a quiet voice that she wasn't sure if Roger could hear. She hated herself for what happened to Reid, even if most of it wasn't her fault.
She looked at Roger as he spoked of having nothing to do, she knew that feeling. "I can understand that," She said with a smile. She didn't always have something to do in the lab and it could get quite boring at times. Honestly the highlight of her year had been Reid escaping.
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your arm?" She asked as she gestured to his bandaged arm. She was curious and didn't think it would be anything horrible, she could be wrong, who really knew except the person who's arm was bandaged.

Kept somewhere? For years? There was only one thing that he could think of that did such things but he could be wrong. This Reid person could've just been in jail or with bad family members for those years. Not everything was tied to Axium. Sure a good number was but not everything. Still, why did he feel like it was connected to that? The thought of Axium caused his left shoulder to ache right where the demon's arm was attached to his shoulder. Moving his right hand away from his head, he grabbed hold of the area and tried to massage it.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have a picture of some sort?" Roger asked as he glanced at her.
Great...she just had to ask about it. The question had caused him to get nervous and his grip increased on the area he was holding. Though that didn't mean he was gonna be able to prevent the demon from being himself.
"Oh? She's curious? Show her then. No harm in doing that eh?" The dark voice started.
We can't show her! She'll freak out and that could be problem. Roger thought back.
"Come on!! SHOW HER!!! If anything she'll go away and you'll have your so called peace."
It's not wise either way.
The whole time Roger was quiet, but responding to teh demon in his head. His left arm started to tremble. The demon wanted to show her but Roger didn't want that. Blasted arm had a mind of it's own and that was problem.
"C...C..Car accident....n....nothing really..." Roger forced out.

"N-not with me," She stuttered in a sad voice. The only picture of Reid she had access to was in his file, in the lab. She could take it out for a while but she couldn't keep it with her all the time.
She could see Roger's arm start to tremble and was noticing how long it was taking for him to reply. She had a questioning look on her face when he finally stuttered out a reply.
"Wow that must have been some car accident," She said as she moved to place her hand on the arm with the bandage on it. If she did get her hand placed there than she would put a slight comforting pressure on it, making it so if he moved the arm the bandage would come off. If she knew what really happened to him she would feel responsible for it, even though she wasn't there when he was in AXIUM. She had developed more sympathy for the experiments since she had found out Reid was her brother and would feel responsible for any experiment, weather she had contact with them or not, simply because she worked there. If the bandage got removed she would recognize Roger because of reading about what had been done to him.

Ah. Well without a picture it would be much harder. Course she probably knew what he looked like so she could find him easily. That was just how some people were, oh well. Though hearing her comment about the accident, he could only nod his head. Yeah....it...it was a really bad one. It cost him his life!!! The love of his life and his son....so young....th...they didn't deserve that. Though when he felt her touch his left arm, he reacted quickly. Sadly a foolish way.
Jerking his left arm, Thressa had a grip on the bandage and it tore. Resulting in the red hardened skin at the section she could see. Though that didn't stop the rest of the bandage from falling off since most of it was torn off now. The larger arm and hand were revealed. Roger could only sit there with brown eyes wide and the demon laughing up a storm in his head.
"I...u.....w..." Roger stuttered, trying to find the proper words to use.
There was no way he could explain this. The car accident couldn't cause his arm to enlarge and grow claws! This wasn't good.

She felt his arm jerk out from underneath her hand and looked down to see that she had accidentally torn the bandage. Underneath was an arm that looked distinctly demon like. This-this was an experiment that had escaped years ago!
"Y-your.....you escaped, why did you stick around here?" She asked quietly as she looked down at his arm. She wasn't scared by it but she was curious about why he stuck around here where he could be caught. She wondered who his handler had been and where they were now, she hadn't payed attention to that part of his file.
"I-I am so sorry for everything they did to you," She said, oh why did she have to work where she did. She could have gone to work somewhere else but she just HAD to work there! Who knew what he would do now that he knew she worked in AXIUM. She was becoming slightly afraid of his strength, it made a good weapon. especially against a weak human like her. If this started a fight it might be like putting her against a werewolf while it was in it's werewolf form.

Oh no....she was gonna scream wasn't she? Roger braced himself for the scream but instead something else came. Wait she....she knew about Axium? However his surprise wasn't just his own. The demon in him was shocked and in fact angered.
"Y....You know about...." Roger started though his words were soon cut off.
"SHE KNOWS YOU MORON!!! SHE HACKED OF MY ARM!!!!" the dark voice roared in his head, and it was clear that Roger was in pain.
"She's not the one who did it." Roger muttered though Thressa probably could hear him.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!"
"Yes it does matter"
"I don't CARE!!!"
With that the demon's arm headed toward Thressa, however Roger had grabbed it with his right hand. Stopping it in it's tracks before it could reach her. Despite his right being weaker than the left, the right still had a good level of strength. The fact that the demon arm was attached to his shoulder helped in a way.
"Sorry. T...This thing literally has a mind of it's own!" Roger explained.

"Yeah, I know. I almost wish I didn't!" She said, this was the first person she could tell everything to. "I'm not going to take you back, actually I wish I could quit but I don't think it would be a good idea. Reid escaped while under my care and afterward one of the other scientists said we looked similar. At first I was outraged but when I tested our blood it showed matches. Now I just want to find him to tell him, that's all. Any others who have escaped, well I'm not taking them back to endure more testing," She said in a rushed voice, this was the first time she said everything to someone. She didn't dare tell anyone at AXIUM, who knew what would happen if they found out.
As Thressa looked back at Roger she noticed he was in pain. Then he muttered something that she barely caught.
"What's not my fault?" She asked then watched as he seemed to continue to have a conversation with himself. Then, without warning his arm shot out and tried to grab hold of her.
"Do you mean that the demon has control of that arm?" She asked with wide eyes as she jumped back. This was scaring her, or at least creeping her out. The fact that he had the arm didn't bother her, the fact the demon might have some control did though. She watched afraid of what would happen next.

"Yeah right!!! You humans are pretty little liars aren't you?!" the dark voice hissed in his head.
Roger tried to ignore the demon's voice, this wasn't good. Not at all. The demon didn't believe Thressa one bit, though Roger was wanting to believe her. True his own experience was horrible there but he couldn't dwell on it forever. Course, the demon would most likely have a eternity to dwell on it.
"T...There's enough of him left in it to do that so...yes. From time to time." Roger replied. "And...other things."
"Let me at her Moron!!!" the voice snapped.
"This isn't...helping. And for the hundredth time....I have...a name!"
At this rate, Thressa was gonna think he was crazy. Still muttering to himself and all. Course he was kind of insane, heck he was starting to feel that madness creep into his skull. Closing his eyes, he really was trying not to snap. Though it was always a hard and losing battle.

Great Thressa thought at his words. "Ummmmm...is there a possibility that the thing doesn't want to kill me?" She asked with fear evident in her voice. She was very afraid of what she suspected the demon of wanting, her dead.
"What is it doing?" She asked fear still lacing her voice. She didn't know what he had meant by 'other things' but she didn't think she really wanted to know. The demon seemed to be able to talk because Roger seemed to be talking to someone and that someone wasn't always her.
She really hoped that the demon didn't want her dead but she didn't know how realistic that hope was going to be. She looked at Roger as she took a step back, putting a little distance between them in case she had to run. She honestly didn't think Roger was nuts but she was afraid of the demon who's arm he possessed.

"LET ME AT HER!!!!!!" The voice hissed in his head. "I'M NOT A THING!! I AM A DEMON!!!"
"A...Afraid t....there isn't.." Roger started but he ended up stopping as the voice pretty much went off again, causing him to put his hands against his head as he looked down.
"This is a better idea than just letting her go!!! SHE DESERVES IT!! DESERVES IT!!! THOSE PEOPLE RUINED BOTH OF OUR LIVES!!!!"
He couldn't take it, no more. Just no more!! His head felt like it was ready to snap at this rate just like his mind was. Why? Why couldn't it just SHUT UP?!! His current state was completely against him. He was weak due to hunger, the demon was in a really bad an strong rage, and there was someone who was in some sort of way involved in the misery he had been given. After going still for a few moments, his hands were removed from his head as he stood up slowly.
"What other things you are most likely wondering?" Roger started, though there was something different to his voice as he stood up. "I can enlighten you on that!"
Raising the demon arm quickly, several shadow creatures appeared and swarmed around Thressa's legs. Trying to make her unable to move and thus stay put. Turning his gaze over to her, his eyes were ruby red in color. Pretty much, Roger wasn't in control.
