*He was nose-deep into a rather spicy cup of instant noodles he had arranged to his liking by adding whatever he felt like adding. The flavors helped him focus on a few files that displayed on the screen before him, yet there was a small tugging sensation at the back of his mind that called his attention to it.
Dipping a full boiled egg into the noodles' sauce and shoving it into his mouth, he longingly chewed and swallowed, exhaling from his nose*
"You seriously can't be mad at that."
*He opened his eyes to an hallucination of VisiVenge, sitting on the desk infront of the computer, arms crossed.*
Of course I'm mad at that! What were you thinking? Touching an Empress' hand, a married woman of all. Have you lost your respect!?
"I wasn't thinking! I thought- ugh. If she's your friend--"
She's not automatically your friend just because she's mine. You may have my face and be in my body. But it gives you no right to call my friends and family yours. You had yours.
"You think it's easy distinguish them from these people!? I have to avoid that in order not to see their dead faces instead!"
*Vengeance banged his fist over the table*
What the fuck are you talking about!? That still gives you no right to treat them as if you know eachother! I would've never touched her hand even if she told me to! Her man could kill me!
"Her man is the man I've done all of this for!"
Oh so you think just because you're playing hero for some man who's getting tortured by Geno you should go around being buddy-buddy with all!? Nobody even knows you're here except the Empress!
*He stood up, putting his hands over the table and getting nose-to-nose with VisiVenge, eyes glaring*
You say you're doing this for the Ageless. But what about your Commander? Your Boyfriend? Your Son? Your Sister? Your Best Friend? What about the actual family you had? The only network of people who genuinely saw you as a human being and not a soulless, bloodthirsty monster?
*A shriek of rage and Vengeance's arm shot to his throat shoving his large figure back into the chair as the hallucination straddled his lap, hand on throat*
"You don't know what I went through."
I do-- *gasp* I fucking s-saw--- it--
"And you dare thinking I don't care about my family!?"
...H-hard to think...o-therwise-- when *gasp* a-all you talk about is- one fucking man.
*The grip of his hand untensed and fell off his throat as VisiVenge stood up. His rage bottled down again. Thoughts taking his mind.*
"I'm trying to save the one man that's still alive. I failed my family already."
*Vengeance gasped for air, before clearing his throat.*
You're protecting a man that is unsavable from the hands of a monster greater than me. That's exactly the same of having lost him just like everyone else.
They're all alive here. But you are a stranger to them. So let them be my family and friends and help me protect them. You'll get your chance to bond with them again. Maybe in the same way as before.
I can always let you out. Just don't rush it because you freak everyone out. That is until I get you out of my body.
*The hallucination faded, VisiVenge was back being a voice in the back of his mind.*
Thanks. It felt nice apprehending you.
