"I just can't believe you heard all of that. I'm so so sorry." Victoria said, her voice muffled by the pillow.

"I just can't believe you heard all of that. I'm so so sorry." Victoria said, her voice muffled by the pillow.
Marcus shrugged "I don't entirely mind. To be honest it's kinda flattering"
"Really?" She asked, lifting her head up a bit to look at Marcus.
Just now, BoundByWords said:
"Really? No one? I can't believe that." She exclaimed, surprised. I mean he was pretty attractive so she thought he'd be used to it but of course not, the universe is too mean for that.
"Y-yeah i'm fine. it was just a bad dream i think" he stated trying to blink away the awful images only to find himself in tears. Whatever he saw felt way to real to be a dream and if it was anyone else they might have trauma for months but after what happened to his parents, alex was in tears.
"Odd as it sounds for all of this...I'm not really your teacher. All I am is a man who wants you to realize your true power....And for you to be happy. If there is anyway for me to make you happy at any point, then say so" He said with a smile on his face
Victoria didn't really know what to say. She was slightly overwhelmed by all of the feelings swirling inside her. So she did the only thing she could do. She hugged him.
"I'm already happy where I am."
Marcus smiled and hugged her back. "Good" He said in a content tone

She pulled away and laid down on the bed, propping her head up with her elbow, looking at him.
"Why did you want to help me? I mean im not being ungrateful or anything, just, confused."
"Because I could tell the moment you got here you have a great power. Enough to help this world." He said happily
Just now, BoundByWords said:
Or destroy it.
"Having power isn't what makes the hero. Its the intentions. I'm pretty sure those other two would make better heros than I would. The worlds done nothing but hurt me, im not exactly in a rush to protect it."
"What do you mean? Passion for what?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
He laughed a little "You want to protect the people you care about. It's very clear. You see yourself as a bad person, because of that other you...I understand how that is. Shadow Power was easy for me to control...But Chaos....That's different.....I understand how it feels to be treated as a monster...Especially once you've killed everyone you know....Been betrayed....I understand it all..."

How the hell did he know that?
Probably because you've been making sarcastic comments about it since we met. Not to mention the situation during the test. He probably saw all of that.
Well shit.
"How did you...Did you see it?" She asked quietly, the image flashing across her vision.
"I see a lot of me in you..." He said with a smile. "I understand you...Because you're just like me."

Victoria furrowed her eyebrows. "I doubt that seriously. I've done some things. Things I can't tell others. Things that I would still be doing if I weren't here."
She shook her head in disagreement. "So...No im nothing like you."
Alex began to describe his weapon, completely forgetting about anything that had happened before. He was glad someone was there to help him out but he couldn't shake the presence that something bad was going to happen.

He laughed "I know all about those things. I may be some peacemaker now, but I wasn't a good kid. No....A trouble maker for sure....Drugs...Drinking...Sex...Murder....That's all my life used to be."

Well would you look at that. We've found us a match.
Shut up you already dug us in a ditch, at least give me time to crawl out.
"Used to be. That is my life. There's no stopping it. Its just a part of me. Its just too late to change who I am." Victoria's face softened and she closed her eyes.
"I've accepted myself like this. And the thing is, I don't want to change. I don't want to change for anyone else, I'm done changing for other people."
He smiled before placing his hand on her shoulder "Then don't change. You don't owe this world a thing. It's done nothing but hurt you. As long as I'm not required to take you down for using your powers for evil....Then I did my job."
Victoria nodded and then sat up. "I'm still not tired. I don't think im going to sleep any time soon. I feel better though so I should be fine."
