Blinking slowly, Dante nodded. "Not just like you," he corrected himself, "but . . . different. Unique. Call it what you want, but we're all something beyond normal humanity." Glancing back to Jill as she glared at him through the slowly clearing dust, Dante took a deep breath and forced himself back into human form. "Perhaps we should talk about this later." There was a crash as one of the outside creatures slammed into a window. The zombies were going to break in if they weren't taken care of soon.
"If the only skill you have is talent, then you haven't learned to control it completely. I know someone who wants to see you, Tyrod." Xavier wanted this boy's talent, so he would have it. I'm just the delivery boy. Silver hair flitting away from his eyes, Dante extended Jill's gun to Tyrod as a gesture of promoted trust. "Are you interested in growing stronger than this?"
Listening with a frown on her face, Jill shook her head. This creature was . . . freakishly odd. Wings, horns, glowing eyes - he wasn't human. As Dante resumed a human form, the blonde girl felt her heart skip a beat. Alien? Monster? Her brown eyes narrowed as she stood straight once again. Her wrist and knuckles still throbbed, but she would be fine.
The crash from nearby made her jump, and she cursed her own inability to control herself. Not only was this thing here, but Tyrod had used some sort of force to get them there. Her new friend was odd, but the monsters chasing them were even worse. What the hell? Today was far from normal.
"Can we get moving?" she interrupted, reaching for her gun. Dante pulled it just out of her reach and offered it to Tyrod. "Seriously? That's mature."
