"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them." This time the claws sliced across his thigh, the clone unmoved by its original's struggle.

Not all men were created equally Lawrence found himself thinking with a cold flatness. He was simultaneously better and worse than other humans, denied the most basic emotional comprehension but in being denied this handed a greater and more potent purpose, the capacity to one day understand emotion as an outsider, not subject to its weaknesses. If anyone had been created in the very image of god, it was him.

And yet, more often than not, he found himself placed more in the role of Lucifer than any hero, cast out for his aspirations and denied happiness in favour of the human and mortal fools, oblivious to their favour. His heart was hammering in his chest, a raw physical response to pain rather than any fear on his part, the claws biting deep and potently into his shield. He wasn’t afraid of the harm but he was afraid of losing the moths and being trapped with less time.

It wasn’t fair, the torment of the moths fluttering just out of his reach as his life was slowly whittled away, unable to both defend and chase them at the same time. Butch scolded him, furious at his reluctance to fight back or protect them over chasing insects

“If you were made from me.” He said. “You’d know that was why I need this, you’d know what I’m looking for. But you are just like Chantelle I bet, a broken fragment, severed from the /truth/.”

Butch’s talons closed on nothing but air.

he snarled.

"There's a better way," the clone replied, abandoning its scripture. "The last one lives forever."

A claw slides across his arm, almost teasing now. Or testing.

"You think I haven't thought of that?" he snapped irritably. "But there's no sex, no sex without harming the other person. So you'd only get it once. Living forever in a world where you can't sleep with anyone even fully aware of it all isn't LIVING."

The touch on his arm made him flinch, sensitive about his arms if nothing else, especially his good one.

"But you've never experienced it have you? Probably not, so you don't /know/."

There was no chance at all as he reached for the moths, always just out of reach, Butch snarling more urgently now that they were in deep, deep s**t. He wouldn't escape, fighting the thing was futile given what he knew about them, they were the only thing that mattered.

"When you are dead, I will be human. When the rest are dead, I will be immortal. I will be Adam and the world my Garden." It's not quite there yet, not quite perfect and whole. The claws mostly miss him this time, barely a graze against his weakened shield.

Lawrence laughed bitterly at the clone's comment. "You'll never be human. None of us are. Only I am capable of figuring it out. You'll just be an immortal nothingness without me."

The thought occurred to him to try another tact with the moths and he wriggled away from the clone for just a second, just long enough to fish out the net gun and fire the glowing runic threads at the moths, but like ghosts they moved aside, out of reach, forever out of reach and it closed on nothing.

Butch was whining now, a sound of pain and alarm and every strike, even the subtle grazes felt more potent than they had.

He would have been angry he thought, if he was able, but as it was every failure just left the yawning want unsatisfied and more and more solidified the fact he was likely not going to make it out of this intact.

"In figuring it out, you would only do as you always have done. Mimic without substance. I will be." Unmoved by its original's plight and claims, the clone finally just closed the distance and slammed its claws into his abdomen, dragging them down. Something slid wetly down his sides. It was very warm, for such a cold man.

The last thing Lawr would see would be America, beaming down at him with a fond expression, his clone in the distance behind her, meticulously cleaning his weapon. "Now don't you worry, honey, you'll live." Crouching down, she leaned her face close to his, her long hair brushing against his shoulders, "They'll say you fought real, real hard to save 'em all. Gonna be proof in the pudding n'everything! So thing'sre gonna be 'lot easier now for you." And then she pats his groin, uncaring of the gore covering it, and winks, "And a lot harder."

There's a moment of consciousness, the team he'd been with on the ground, a hoarse, near dying whisper of Deus Ex Machina and the sense of an absence nearby. Things crawl in and out of his wounds.

When Lawrence truly wakes up, it's in an infirmary room, one he'd later find out was part of underground labs. There's a lot of drugs and vomiting that will fill his next week to come, and a set of thin, perfect scars stretching down his middle, ending just before the point of castration that will be a reminder for years to come.

The story he is part of is simple: there was an attack, he'd very nearly died, there is one other survivor who he'd managed to save. For the moment, at least, his change in attitude and act of selfless sacrifice were enough to allow him a little more freedom, a little more trust from certain quarters.

Long Term Effect:
Lawr will find his libido increased dramatically. Should he bring up the change to one of the Life doctors, he'll learn the rest of what's been done to him. Bringing it up to Melvin will result in at least a partial reveal.
