"Why didn't you tell your friends?" I asked, as her confirmed my suspicions on such a plan. Yes, I actually wasn't so sure. Clones were only rumors.
"Shut up! Okay? What do you know? I can't get them killed. I can't... get you killed."
"I hate people like that too, I'm also an Esper, how do you think I felt when I heard of this experiment? Last time I helped you guys with the Big Spider incident, I'm more willing to help again this time. I've always feared my powers bringing me trouble, you know that about me right? This time those guys are the problem. Not our fault. Let me help. I'm willing, you are not dragging me into this."
I've always wanted to be just normal, normal as in general, not completely normal, because that would be boring. The thing is, what I can do about it? I'm still myself, I can't choose not to be an Esper, there's not the technology nor enough studies. It's undecidable. That's why I hate those people, they can't just do that. I'm an Esper too, I am that kind, so I can understand how bad it is. It's not like I wanted to be in the experiments. I only decided to fight for my own kind, I'm not trying to be all perfect, no one really is, not at all. I'm just trying to help someone out. Getting frustrated from the thought, I decided to tell her:
"Those people are the evil ones, and they are doing it to my kind, us. That's part of why I chose to stick my nose in it and helped, last time. You do remember right? Those mad scientists with all their crazy, inhuman studies, or doing it for their benefit are all the same." I can tell she is either needing help but can't find someone, or is charging boldly alone. I continued:
"Why do you want to go in alone? You do realize you might get yourself killed! That's what friends are for, you are taking to much of it alone. Even if you have an idea, you can't guarantee you don't die, I just want to help."
"Fine..." She replied, almost in a crying, desperate voice, seeing that I care about her.
"Thank you."
"What's the plan?" I then asked. Less and less reluctantly, she explained to me:
"We are attacking the experiment facilities directly, their computer defenses cannot be breached, otherwise I would just hack into their system and delete their files. I will tell you more about it tonight. We are attacking at midnight. Meet me at 7:30 at the hotel downtown. Actually, I will text you "
"Cool."
