And like that, Rory felt her hero spark kick in and ignite in her stomach. She shook her head fiercely. "No, fuck that. Did they even try something else before they kidnapped a bunch of people and tested on them? Before they let someone die for experimentation?

"I get it. Shit is hard. It was hard back in my dimension too and some stuff the government did was a little gray, but they tried not to screw people over. Whoever had that lab, they were not the be all end all of what was going on. They were delusional or they were liars."

She breathed out to calm herself down. Rory had the tendency to be, well, intense as all Hell and there was no reason to scare Aren away from her by being like that now.

Aren was a little shocked by the sudden outburst. His face showed no real signs of fear, perhaps more frustration. He clenched his fists tightly and spoke in a calm tone. “They do not kidnap normal humans. The only people they have ever kidnapped are people who have been confirmed to have supernatural abilites. I was only assigned to testing personnel because I was deemed safe and unkillable by subjects. All other testing personnel are prisoners on death row that have willingly joined. They were going to die, it was their choice to have it actually mean something.”

"That doesn't make kidnapping better," Rory pointed out. "They're still people. With lives and dreams and hopes. They didn't deserve to be kidnapped and placed anywhere."

And that brought Rory to an odd question. "Did you agree to what happened to you? And was it before or after you were already taken?"

Aren didn’t try to comment on Rory’s comeback on the kidnapping issue of the organization. Mostly it was because he didn’t actually have something to respond to that. “Originally I was just to be analyzed and then have memories replaced with false ones, until they learned of my more odd abilities. Before you say anything I had no family and was very young at the time. If they didn’t take me in I likely would have died.....not that it would mean much but it’s still something. I was only given minor test on harmless subjects or subjects incapable of affecting me due to my mental shielding originally. Once I learned of my immortality after being a causality during a containment breach I volunteered for dangerous testing.”

Rory shook her head, but she stayed quiet. It wasn't her place, she supposed and she didn't have the confidence to be... well Adrastia. Maybe she never had. Who fucking knew. It was all raw and it didn't matter.

"I'm immortal too. Can't die. Not... hm. I can by age, but nothing else, really. Still, pain fucking sucks."

Aren nodded his head softly. “Yea it does....but after it happens again and again and again....you kinda get used to the pain. It doesn’t really hurt nearly as much anymore. Death never really scared me as a kid, even before I learned of my immortality. It’s just something that I really need to worry about you know?”

Rory laughed. Genuinely laughed at that, because she did get it. "Yeah. I get that. I guess I always kind of felt the same way. With my regeneration, I did a lot of stupid shit. It always hurt though, that never... completely dulled. I just thought it was worth it."

She rubbed the back of her head and looked away from him. "Look, I'm sorry for getting so intense. I-- Well, it's something I'm working on."

Holy shit. I keep not getting alerts for this >=I

Aren laughed a little as well when Rory laughed. “Even with my immortality I try my best to not do those kinds of things. I’m still not sure the full limits of it so I face unknown things like they can kill be permanently.” Aren sighed softly and stretched. “No no. It’s fine. Many people would have likely reacted the way you did. It’s understandable to get upset at this.”

"Hey! Same! I always work under the assumption I can and will die when I do stupid things... Doesn't stop me from doing them though. man, Jude hates it."

Then Rory was right back to awkward. Being good was hard. Being kind was hard. Being nice was easy. She groaned a little. "I'm really not going to agree with you, but there isn't much I can do about it, either. Kind of sounds like it was already taken care of."

Aren laughed a little more at that. It was nice to laugh now and then. When she brought up that it was handled Aren was quiet for a second. “The organizatiok has more than one compound. The only two I knew of were Theta and Upsilon. Upsilon was the facility I was in and Theta tried but failed to contain some kind of Eldritch entity. Needless to say both are gone. But now that the island knows of the organization’s existence they will likely be hunting for the rest of the facilities.” Aren trailed off, not knowing if he should be pleased or sad at that.
