He let out a silent sigh from the closet.<br/><br/><em>'Smell, the super has heightened senses, at least his sense of smell. Better safe than sorry, rarely does a power only effect such a small part of a person. Cassie, do not force me to gun the man down, he may yet prove an ally, but not here and not now.'</em>His thoughts raced, and he forced himself to sit very still, almost as a statue.<br/><br/>He was not worried about being caught, at the first sign of danger, he could go out through the back of the closet, and down through the floor. However, that would likely alert James and make his continued discussion with Cassandra much more difficult.<br/><br/>He suddenly wished he was a telepath, or that he could invoke one of Cassie's visions to show her what he needed and be back to Sami. Whether the girl liked him much or not, he was becoming fond of her already.<em>'How screwed up is that?'</em>He rolled his eyes at himself, always wanting things that would get him into trouble.<br/><br/>Fighting back against SpECTRe, suicidal. He could have jumped into the cargo hold of some airplane headed to China and be rid of this place, yet he stayed to fight. He couldn't really have Cassie, yet he wanted her all the same, and the twins made him yearn for her all the more; not because he had any desire to be a father, but precisely because he did not. He wanted her, and he knew she would fall from his reach.<br/><br/>Sami intrigued him, and he only hoped he could redeem himself in her mind.<br/><br/>He turned his thoughts back to the matter at hand, the only way he could prove himself was to bring down SpECTRe. He had to have Cassie's help for that, she had a great deal of influence. James would be an asset, if he could bring himself not to loathe the man...<br/><br/>His thoughts again wandered,<em>'the cop... He is either corrupt, or very dedicated... I shall test him as well.'</em>He recited the man's badge number in his head and smiled. 'ProtoTypE' would be the downfall of SpECTRe, he was sure of it. They had picked a boy of great mental acuity and talent, and made him a killer, a machine... Less than human... Yet, it was this inhuman thing that would destroy them, and he would make sure of that.
