Tommy had awoken about twenty minutes ago from the floor of his duplex. No matter how hard he tries, it seems as if he will never get back to sleeping at night. The only reason why it took twenty minutes to get out of his duplex is due to the complex procedure of putting on his pants, shirt, and jacket. For a moment he wonders how much longer he'll enjoy even this simple comfort though.
With a sigh and a shake of his head, he pushes theses thoughts out of his mind. I hope no one's in the entertainment room... he thinks to himself as he lists the many movies he still wants to watch. He opens the door to the cool air of dusk and makes his way past the row of duplexes...and stops. He looks around as his large ears detect the sound of trouble. Looking up, he sees a duplex with its door open...
"The hell...?" he says outloud as he makes his way to the opening.

She'd yet to calm, in fact she was still on her rampage, to say she was destroying things would likely be an understatement. The interior of hte duplex was in shambles, and Joliette was still in there, she did not notice the presense of another

Tommy slowly peaks his head inside the duplex to see Joliette destroying everything in sight. His eyes go wide as a rush of near panic invades his mind. <******** clenches his eyes shut as he forces these thoughts to flit away before he slowly opens them again to take stock of the situation. Slowly he enters the duplex. "J...Joliette...? Jesus...are...are you alright?"

With a low growl the Komodo turned slowly, it's tail moving back and forth in an obviously irritated manner, not at him, but just the way she was feeling in general... She said nothing verbally as her yellow tongue flickered

Tommy froze, fear practically wafting off of him. He opens his mouth to speak...once...twice...a third time...and nothing comes out. Finally, after nervously clearing his throat, out comes at least a few words. "J...Joliette...it's uh...it's me...Tommy...I...I changed since you last saw me...but I uh..." he trails off, not knowing just how to calm down a komodo dragon. Another thing hampering his thought process was the strong desire to spread his fingers and just run away.
After a sigh to help calm himself he manages to speak more clearly. "Christ, Joliette...look at yourself...look at what you're doing...how can this help matters?"

A low growl and she watched him a moment before slowly moving in his direction her claws digging intot he shredded carpet under her like there was nothing there. Her human side still buried under the anger the Komodo was venting.
His obvious fear didn't do a whole lot for the situation either

<******** just stares wide-eyed at Joliette as she comes closer and closer. Finally though, training gets the better of him and he instantly calms down. His face takes on a mask of determination...a mask that usually only comes when he is training his subordinates back at the Academy. His fear vanishes. "Joliette, if you can hear me...stop where you are...NOW. Listen to me and do what I tell you. Look at what you've done. You're acting like a goddamn animal. So stop this s**t, stand up like the human being you are...and calm...the ********!"

She stops in her tracks, she's not talking yet, but she however quiet, a low growl, and then she closes her eyes, her claws digging into the shredded carpet, her head looking down just a touch before her eyes open and she just watches him. She felt like yelling, just bellowing at him... he yell at her again, it was likely she might

Tommy stares at Joliette for what seems like forever before he speaks again. This time though, the anger is gone and he just sounds tired. "Jesus Christ..." he mutters out as he leans against the wall with a sigh. "I'm sorry for yellin' at you, Jolie..." he says as he looks down at her. "I ******** talk to me? Let me know that you're still there...and not the...the ******** animal that those bastards want us all to be..."

"You realize... it's been a year" she says, her voice raspy, she had yet to let her defences down, as it was the Komodo still had most of hte control. She was a battle between feelings just then as he stood there and she stayed where she was

"...a year..." he states, "Yeah...I know...a year in this hell hole...a ******** year in this godforsaken shitstain on the face of scientific history. And you're going to let them beat you...aren't you? Just give in to what they want. Destroy everything that you once were...and still are. 'cause that's all this is. Behind the claws, the wings, the feathers, the fangs...every goddamn thing that they hope will make us less of who we are...we're still there. I'll be damned if I let you just wallow in self pity and despair while they sit back in those ******** labs and laugh...I know who I am...do you?"

"Who said anything about wallowing... I"m venting" she dug her claws in again for a moment before backing up a step "I.. I would rather hurt objects... then islanders... which I've done before" it may or may not be obvious she was fighting to stay in control

Tommy knows a threat when he hears one, regardless of her intentions. He just nods a few times, "Hell of a vent...Want me to leave you alone then? Let you finish destroying any ties from before you got here," he says while nodding in the direction of the ruined photographs.
After a moment, the bat-man just sighs, "Jesus...I'm sorry...it's not my place and I've got no clue what's going on with you right now...lemme just leave..."

"Photos aren't from before.. those are upstairs, those are from here, I made them here... in my darkroom" her eyes shifted at the photos and then back and then she closed her eyes again she relaxed just a little bit though it was visible "I know others have it worse then me... I just cant seem to keep in control"

Tommy sighs again and slides down the wall so he's sitting more at eye level with Joliette. "...I...Goddamn I'm sorry...Joliette...it was arrogant and stupid of me to think I knew what was going on...*sigh* Why don't you tell me what's going on?" He asks lightly, hoping to get her to vent through speach instead of violence...maybe to help her get control that way.
