"You may be right.." She mumbled "But then again.. Where did you come to know that? A book?"

Marius shook his head: "No. This I learned on my own. Back when I first started working as monster slayer."

Marius sat down next to Jasmin.
"I used to kill terrorists of all kinds before I was sent here. Humans, Angels, Demons.... anybody who would cause harm to the innocent. I worked alongside many other operatives in my time. Normally they were humans, but occasionally a half Angel or half Demon would be paired with me. On one mission my half Angel half Human partner Jacob wanted to resuce his his brother who had become a terrorist and had betrayed him in the past. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted that he wouldn't abandon his brother. I restrained him and did all I could to stop him, but he later shot me in the head and went to help his brother. The shot to the head knocked me out for about 4.3 minutes until my wound healed enough for me to wake up. When I caught up to Jacob his brother had once again betrayed him and got away with the supplies we had been ordered to protect. After that, Jacob hated himself and me too, for not being there for him, his brother had in fact used these supplies to help some poor ungary villagers, but he stole them too. He tried to kill me, but I restrained him and we were assigned to different units from then on."

Marius: "Life before then used to be much worse for people like me and Jacob. Back in the day of the Dark Blade program."

"It would help if I knew what that was.." She said, encouraging him to tell her more about his past

Marius looked Jasmin in the eyes for a while. >Well I suppose I can tell her more<
"The organization I work for now is called the Blades. It is dedicated to preventing terrorist supremacy from all races, but mostly specializes in stopping non-Humans. The Dark Blade program was a new division of the Blades that was strated about 20 years ago. Its purpose was to take non-Human children and develop them into a weapon to use against terrorists. I was found and taken at the age of 2 and they trained me along with other children to be monster slayers in order to fight more on par with most non-humans. We were to be stripped of all earthly emotions and hardened into a machine like way of thinking. This.... is where most of my social inadequacies were developed from."
Marius waited to hear if Jasmin wanted him to continue....

"We were also experimented on. To see what gave us our abilities and to find ways to combat them and others. They mostly experimented more heavily on those who were the weakest and least productive. Luckily for me, I was one of their best works. So they only cut me open and dissected me occasionally. This was also due to my rapid regenerative abilities that they really bothered me to such an extent on a regular basis, as I could survive most of it. Jacob himself was originally in the same program, but hadn't been in as long as I and others had, so he came out better socially than the rest of us. However, the scientists in the Dark Blade program had apparently been secretly doing things to us that they weren't allowed to do and so they were captured and we were set free. However, several of the scientists in that program had gone insane and blew up the facility killing most of us. I survived because I was one of the first to be rescued."

Jasmin stared at Marius in non-belief. How could anyone do that to children. "Marius.. I am so sorry.." She whispered

Marius looked at Jasmin surprised: "Why? It wasn't your fault. Besides...."
Marius looked down at his sleeved arm: "I'm a monster regardless of what they said and did to me. So it's not like I didn't deserve it, right?"

"That's not true Marius! You're not the monster, they are! Oh you just don't understand.. It's not your powers or appearence that makes you a monster.. It's how you decide to use it.. The people that did those things to you.. And Jacob.. They were monsters.. Okay? Don't ever call yourself a monster..! Ever again..! Okay?..!" She said

Marius looked at Jasmine with shock and surprise.
"But... you remember when I almost lost control. I could have killed you and Aisha! How can that kind of thing not mean I'm a monster?"

"Because it wasn't your fault!" She said, her voice had started to shake slightly. "You didn't mean to harm me on purpose! You were sorry and you just lost control! That has nothing to do with it!" She assured
