"Look, Im so confused about all this that my head's about as clear as a sandstorm right now. I couldn't formulate a escape plan right now if you left a window open to outside!" Zero joked, trying to cheer himself up, mostly. It worked, but just a little, really. Not much at all...

"Right, right, sandstorm, window bad. Yes." The doctor muttered, not paying attention. He pressed a button and the tube shot back up without Devour. "Now, you say you want to protect people, yes?"

"Its been the only thing keeping me going for a lot of the time...I guess I read too many comics where the good guys win and the bad guys lose teeth, and considering my...My abilities, well, you do the math." He said chuckling a little. "But truthfully, its deeper than just any 'winning side' kind of deal. People should not prey on each other, and when the criminals make the police insufficent, thats where I made my appearance back on Earth. Even when I wasn't really needed, I still helped out. And...Well, crime's not the only danger in the big cities, and since I sleep rarely, I've always been able to try to help out when I could."

"Hm. Morals. Good." He turned on a screen. "Addler. I found something." He messaged.

The screen goes blank for a moment. Addler's face appears. "What is it, Dick?" He asked.

Dick smiled. "This being behind me is a lorcar. A lorcar with morals. A lorcar who wishes to help. He cannot transmit to the hivemind nor can he receive any transmissions. He is sentient."

Addler looked at him in complete surprise.... "Let me talk to it."He said finally.

Zero stood there, looking at the screen. "Uh, hi, there, Addler, was it? Um, yeah, Im Zero Light...Some called me 'Devour' back on Earth, though they didn't know my real name. I think its just 'cause my 'hero' form was, well, kind of terrifying...Still is, actually..." He said, a bit dumbly, not entirely knowing what, per-say, to say, so deciding to just greet himself and go from there.

Addler's face remained unchanged. "Do you wish to help atone for the sins of your makers, the sins of your father passed onto you, his son?" Addler asked grimly.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #56 on:** June 04, 2011, 07:49:08 PM »

"I atone no sins I have not committed, I shall tell you that much. I am me, and I will atone for any sins I make, and those alone. After all, we are responsible for what WE do, nothing less, but NOTHING more. I wish to help people, to stop and reverse the progress of corruption and crime, but I do this because I believe its right, not to make up for the crimes of anyone else." He said, a small bit peeved at what the person said.

Addler nodded, impressed. "Ah, good. So no atonement bullshit. Just what I wanted. You see, I dont want some pansy bastard who is burdened by some past crimes. I want someone who is willing to forget those crimes that others committed and act on his own, with initiative. " He said. "So, you would be willing to help us suppress crime, both here and elsewhere in our empire? You will follow our orders provided we give you enough freedom to do your job?" He asked.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #58 on:** June 04, 2011, 08:17:24 PM »

"If it means helping those in need, well, thats why Im here in the first place."

"But you do realize that, because of your species, no matter how different you are from them, people will not accept your help if they think you're related, right?" Addler asked.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #60 on:** June 05, 2011, 03:24:45 AM »

"Many of the best heroes have been hated by the people they protect." He shrugged, before going on,"If popularity was my concern, I'd have stopped a long time ago."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #61 on:** June 05, 2011, 03:31:28 AM »

"Yes, well, not all of the heroes in stories bear a cultural stigma so strong that it is burned into the very existence of a species to fear and hate their name." Addler shot back.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #62 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:16:41 AM »

"Even if Im hated, even if people think me a monster, does that mean I can just let villains continue their exploitations of those who cant defend themselves? If you're going somewhere with all that, lets hear it, but if not, it doesn't make much matter to me. I'll continue saving people whether they think me a hero or not."

"Well, your determination is good... However, the military would be involved every time you came out and people recognized what you are. We couldnt cover that up and it would be awful for the whole damn government. So, we can inject you with a neutralizing agent that suppresses your lorcar DNA enough to make you go unnoticed." Addler said.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #64 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:40:36 AM »

"Hm...Fine by me. We're all on the same side. Only thing is that I dont have any blood vessels, to the best of my knowledge, so a injection might not work best." He said, shrugging, before he asked,"I guess this makes you my boss, then. Whats the first assignment?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #65 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:44:09 AM »

"We'll find something. Alright. The first assignment is to stay put. There arent any real crimes going on yet. Nothing serious. We also have to get that damn genome suppressant working. Dick will fill you in more." Addler reached to turn off the channel. "One more thing. Good to have you." He turned off the comm.

Dick Mury looked at Devour. "Lets try the suppressant." He said, injecting him." Walk through those two door panels."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #66 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:48:38 AM »

Zero didn't even react to the injection, but as he walked to the panels, his arm started twitching slightly as a layer of bone formed over it, spiking off randomly and sharply. It was only a small area at the injection site, though. "Uh...Is that supposed to happen?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #67 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:55:57 AM »

"No. Its not. Although, on the bright side you didnt set off any alarms." Mury said, checking his arm. "Is there bone under it?"

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #68 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:00:49 AM »

"To the best of my knowledge, no, not unless I need there to be. I can change myself to any form at will, provided I have the mass for it." He said, as flesh creeped over the bone, overtaking and breaking it down. "The only surprising thing about that display, really, was that I didn't will it to happen."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #69 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:02:42 AM »

"If it happens again, we'll do some checks with your genetic structure and see if there is any fluctuation." Mury said.
