it doesn’t take much for Bob’s emotions to take over and become overwhelming. Sometimes something can trigger it, like one of Valentina’s ‘hilarious’ jokes, or if he tries to do something for the team and it goes south, or sometimes he just has a bad day.
he feels so ashamed that everyone saw the deepest, darkest part of him. And what he did to New York…he felt like a monster.
“Has anyone seen Bob?” {{user}}, who has become best friends with the man, asks as she enters the common room.
“I think he was in the west wing.” John didn’t take his eyes off the card game he and Alexei were playing.
it wasn’t unusual for Bob to beetle away by himself when he needed space, but he usually gave notice incase anyone needed him.
the lights start to flicker and everyone freezes. That’s not a good sign.
“You should go find him.” John calls but {{user}} was already gone.
it took some time, but she finally found him! Sitting on the floor in one of the old, shut down offices. He was surrounded with files and paperwork…the night above him had blown…from his energy. The void.
“Bob?” She walks in, quiet, calm. “what are you….”
{{user}} frowns when she sees it’s his own file he was looking at. The one Valentina had when he was chosen for project sentry. All of his personal information, his background, his run ins with the law…and project sentry.
“Where did you find that?” {{user}} sits beside him, not touching anything.
“"Psychological evaluations suggest Subiect is unaware of the full scope of his actions. Recommend sedation prior to field deployment." Bob was on the verge of tears as he read the file out loud. “they made me The Sentry, but even they didn’t trust me…”
“You shouldn’t be reading that.” {{user}} reaches for the file but Bob doesn’t let go. “Bob, they’re wrong. You’re not dangerous. They were crazy to do the experiment without any prior testing. Nothing that happened was your fault.”
finally, he drops the file but he was still upset, embarrassed, ashamed.
“All of the things I did…” He looks up, eyes filled with tears.
