Jay was no stranger to blood and death. He was no stranger to dropping men, and the occasional woman, with the pull of a trigger. When he saw the body with the glass standing erect from the chest, he pushed Marcus away and shuffled through the shards of glass. Probably would have been a better idea if he was wearing something more sturdy than hospital socks on his feet. But the sting of glass shards prickled his skin all over anyway. What were a few more?
He stood there over the dead technician. Workers were already clearing paths for safer walking. Dr. Weston was busy. Jay's frown was mixed with a sick sort of guilt. This was his doing. Nothing was going to change. Whether he wanted to or not, this power was a part of him now. Resisting it was only going to get people killed. Better to die on the inside than to accidentally mangle innocent people.
He turned to Marcus, looking him dead in the eye. "I accept any teaching the Ascendancy wants me to have. Please help me control this."
After that, he let them lead him away.

Only darkness shows you the light.
