Diego stood frozen before Jennifer's doorstep. He could almost feel his knees go weak as he tried to find something, anything, to say. He brushed a stray hair away from his eyes and simply looked into hers. He could tell already she despised him, as the others will soon. The closed door and fearful expression was all he needed. His eyes darted up and spotted the tentacle, arced above her head, almost like a scorpion's stinger. He couldn't say he as not surprised, the trench coat had hidden the extent of her powers greatly. Profound sadness was etched into every inch of his face, his heart was wringed by the guilt, twisted and pained. She did not need to see what threatened her, his carelessness may have scarred her.<br/><br/>With ISIS' summon, he simply tried to find the words to say, that could maybe, hopefully, help fix what he had done.<br/><br/><b> "We eeuhm...

Diego simply sighed.<br/><br/><span style="color: SlateGray"><b>"I am sorry you had to see...him. He is of no threat to you and I will make sure it stays that way. Just please know that I..."</b></span><br/><br/>Diego breathed in shakily as he tried to keep his voice and nerves steady.<br/><br/><b><span style="color: SlateGray">"...I mean you no harm and that I am deeply ashamed of what I put you through."</span></b><br/><br/>He made a motion to give her hand a small squeeze of emphasis but pulled back, remembering what had already passed. Diego stood there for a moment before stepping off toward the training room.<br/><br/><b><span style="color: SlateGray">"I will go first so you do not need to burdened by my presence."</span></b><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center">______________________________________________________​</div><br/>When Diego entered the training room, he simply waved sullenly at the other occupants, the soldier, woman, and catgirl. He walked to them and simply posed a question.<br/><br/><b><span style="color: SlateGray">"So what is this meeting about?"</span></b><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
