It was time to get this whole thing over and done. I turn to face the noc on the other side of the glass. "Do you wish to pertect her?" I asked.
He turned and looked at me, and seemed to be at odds with him self. "Yes, but I have no Idea were to begin." His tone was acidic.
I admired him and the fact that he was unafraid. He was rather tall not quit as tall as myself, but tall none the less. His body seemed to be made of clay or porcelain, cracks ran down his face and arms. There was a hole in his left check which allowed the looker to see blood-red sharks teeth. His eyes were all black, it was as if his pupils had taken over the rest of his eyes. All I could I could see was an endless abyss of emotion. The only person I'd ever met with eyes that expressive was Valentine. His hair was black at the roots and turn crimson as it spiked upward. He wore tight black leather pants with knee-high boots and a jacket that lay open revealing a hole in his torso right were his heart should have been.
"That is very simple but also tricky, it mean we have to find something we have in common." I answered flatly.
"What could we possibly have in common." Sarcasm dripped from very word.
"Well," The noc and I turned to look at the Doctor. " there are a lot of thing you two have in common. In fact your personality's are quite similar. You both are overly fond of using sarcasm. Your tone of is more often than not acidic in nature." He paused a moment putting one figure over his mouth. "But there is one big difference in the two of you. Pinfeathers you believe in love correct?"
"Yes Doctor. I do believe in love, but what does that have to do with this?" The noc answered.
"Why do you believe in love, Pinfeathers?" The Doctor asked.
"I saw Varen fall in love with Cheerleader, and I almost fell for her as well. I still want to now what this has to do with any of this?" The noc asked again.
"Because, Tom doesn't believe in love, at least not completely. He had started to believe but then Valentine had to leave."
Pinfeathers turn to me. "I see."
"Now you can't really blame him for not believing. His mother used a potion on his father that took away his belief in that emotion." the Doctor explained.
"Doctor this is my bisnes not his." I ground out.
"Tom in order for this merge to work, he needs to now." the Doctor stated flatly.
"So his mother use a love potion on his dad." Pinfeathers stated.
"Ah, but not just any love potion. She use the strongest out of all the love potions."
Pinfeathers looked at and cringed. "Ouch, your mother really screwed you over. He's right I can't blame you for this, it's not even your fault."
Then the glass that separated us slid upward and seemed to disappear.
"Now, all you two have to do is touch each other and the merge will begin. I suggest you tough your figure tips together." The Doctor instructed.
I turned to Pinfeather and slowly moved toward him. When we were at arms length I reach for him and he reached back. Our figures touched and it began.
At first there was nothing, then all of sudden warmth engulfed me. Then I was gone.
I woke up with a start, had the merge work. Looking at my hands I notice that there were crimson claws on the tips of my figures. My skin was pale but without cracks. I turn my head to look at my reflection in the glass. For the most part I looked like Tom with bits of Pinfeathers mixed in. My eye weren't blue, but they weren't black either. They were violet with specks of blue here and there. My hair was short, black at the roots and crimson as it spiked up just like Pinfeathers hair. there was a scar on my cheek right were the hole in Pinfeathers cheek had been. I open my mouth to see what my teeth looked like. They were Pinfeathers shark teeth.
"That is your nocein form, it is the form you will take when in battle. Your not in your new body yet, you're not settled enough for that yet. But when you are settled and in that body you will find out what you look like as a human. I have a feeling your eyes will be the same in both forms a long with the scar. What would you like to be called?"
I tilted my head, I didn't know what I wanted to be called. "I don't know."
"Well, that ok for now though you will have to have a name before you can animate that body." the Doctor confessed.
"I'm sorry" I offered not knowing what else to say.
"There is no reason for you to be sorry. Your not Tom, but your also not Pinfeathers either. You're a mix between the two, a new person. Its ok for you to be confused and out of place" The Doctor a sured.
"So, whats next?" I asked.
"We wait for Valentine to be done dealing with her mother, and hope Isobel doesn't ground her." The Doctor stated.
"Why would the Cheerleader ground her?"
The Doctor gave a chuckle in response. " Valentine was conseaved while Varen was still a part of the dream world, she has the ability to enter the dream world want ever she feels like it. More over and what her mother doesn't relies is that Lilith can't hurt her. Isobel doesn't like it when Valentine does this. Though Valentine was not in the dream world and she will tell her mother that, it does not mean that Isobel will believe her." The Doctor explained.
"Ah, I see"
