❝Yeah, you know wha’? That’s what I told myself too. ‘Til I found out there’s sicker people out there that wouldn’t mind payin’ an extra buck or two to see someone splattered against pavement, just for lookin’ at ‘em the wrong way. They’re called psychopaths, Kit, you know, the people not too far off from us?❞  Gunner seethed, using his closest hand to swat away the opposing man’s finger, his scowl fierce and righteous. It wasn’t completely uncommon, for a customer to request a family member or person of higher position to be offed, simply for the benefit of gaining their place. Personal vendettas are the prime motives for a good majority of clients in this business, but there were few cases that involved wealthy individuals that merely didn’t care to dirty their hands. They would lie, paint out their target as some vile filth of humanity, only to find that they’re describing a mirror image of themselves. Perhaps Kit was simply more keen in filtering out these remorseless individuals that desired the demise of the innocent for sheer personal gain, but Gunner had to discover this the hard way.

❝The people we kill maybe fucked in the head, but the people that hire us have it tenfold,❞  Gunner finished, now inches away from the opposing man’s face with a stare that could pierce glass. It felt like arguing with a mirror image of himself, only a version much colder and adjusted to the harsh realities of the world. Although the young man would never admit it without the firm twisting of an arm, it was almost therapeutic having an outlet, someone in similar position, to lash out at and listen too. These weren’t exactly issues that he could easily share with just about anyone, after all.

     "Psychopaths do their own killing" His timbre is unimpressed, eyes fell onto the taller male and he tenses at the distance which lacks between them. He wants to object to the idea that they are no better than their common street killers -  that they are an extension to the horror of other's desire to outrank the higher by the third party but it didn't matter Kit's point of view, his perception has long been fortified for darkness and he had no desire to be this man's teacher or voice of reason in this reasonless world. 

"I'm not going to spend the whole night talking about this. You think what you will of this world and the people in it." His hand does a small gesture of waving, dismissing this topic - perhaps even the other's emotions and rage on the matter. "And I'll think of it what i will." but his stance wouldn't change, it was his DNA at this point - a thing that saved him from the mess of his childhood.

                                                  There’s a bad                                                               Moon Rising. 

“ Last time we saw you, you were trying to kill everyone. “

“ We’re the same, you and I.  “

“ I have to get off this planet!  “

“ We’re gonna get outta here. “

“ As long as the foundations are still strong, we can rebuild this place. “

“ A creepy old man cut my hair off! “

“ So much has happened since I last saw you! “

“ Then I went on a journey of self-discovery. “

“ Then I met you. “

“ It all got too corporate “

“ I don’t hang with them anymore. “

“ How did you end up here? “

“ What are you up to these days? “

“I can’t believe you’re alive! I saw you die. I mourned you. I cried for you.“

“How was I supposed to know? I can’t the see the future. I’m not a witch.“

“ Right here on the sidewalk or right here where the building’s being demolished? “

“ I swear I left them right here. “

“ I choose to run towards my problems, and not away from them. “

“ Because’s that what heroes do. “

“ Well, I was thinking that you drink too much and it was probably gonna kill you. “

“ So, if I’m gonna die, well, it might as well be driving my sword through the heart of that murderous hag. “

“ Do you have a better plan? “

“ I still hate it. It’s humiliating. “

“ I don’t know your game, but you can not stop me! “

“ My destiny is to rule all others. “

“ So they’re dead. I’d have liked to have seen that. “

“ There’s nothing wrong with women, of course, I like women. “

“ I think it’s great, an elite force of women warriors. “

“ For once in your life, don’t smash!

“  All his deeds of peace… none of what he did to get it! “

“  I think you can handle things from here. “

“ Now hold still. My hands aren’t as steady as they used to be! “

“ You think you’re some kind of sorcerer? Don’t think for one minute, you second-rate… “

“ I’m not as strong as you. “

“ I just want a chance to prove myself. “

“ I’m not a queen, or a monster… “

“ By the Eternal Flame, you are reborn! “

“ What were you the god of, again? “

“ The revolution has begun! “

“ Darling, you have no idea what’s possible. “

“ Kneel, before your queen. “

“ Do you think it’s right to go back to Earth? “

“A wise man never seeks out war. But he must always be ready for it"

“ Life is about growth and change. “

“ Where are the weapons? “

“ This team of yours, it got a name? “

“ So I’m putting together a team. “

“ Where have you been? Everybody thought you were dead! “

“ It sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship with (item) and that losing it was almost comparable to losing a loved one. “

“ Yeah… it’s probably for the best that we’ll never see each other again.

Gunner kept his eyes averted in bitter resignation, his silent gaze falling upon the burning embers that enveloped the collection of photographs in relentless flames. The man’s words were sharp, harsh, but worst of all, utterly and undeniably true. It was a reality the young man deliberately refused to accept, as the misconceptions of morality, the battle and internal struggle between good and evil, was what ensured him peace when the confines of his skull wouldn’t allow him rest in the dead hours of the night. The guidelines he set in place acted as a promise, more to himself than anything, to protect what little morals he allowed himself to keep. Morals. It was something that didn’t exist in this line of business.

❝That how you go to sleep at night, then? Tellin’ yourself everyone’s complete shit beneath it all, so when you do them in, you don’t feel any more sick in the head?❞  The Englishman snapped in a low murmur, his voice raising as he took a good few strides closer to Kit in a blind rage. ❝–And if he was innocent, would you have even bat an eye? Or would it mean fuck all to you?❞

     The truth of it would be he hadn't slept well in ages, never really knew what undisturbed peace was after infancy but his lack of a quite slumber could not entirely be blamed by his choice of career. The other figured out one small detail of the matter, Kit does believe everyone is utter shit but the world did little in favoring him a less tragic picture and when Gunner approaches him, it does not go unnoticed and he's a predator in the way a sharp and venomous gaze flickering up. "When I do them in, I think about how they deserved it because they've wronged someone. For all the sickness i have up here" His finger jabs out, taking the index to the other male's temple. "They have tenfold."
