Sometimes I feel like a lab-rat.

Why do you feel like that?

Hazard of living with a scientist who has dedicated his life to keeping the world safe from...things like me.

Did you agree to the experiments?

Of course. Yes. Reed's only trying to help. I shouldn't be complaining.

Still, it can't be easy.

What kind of experiments?

Nothing horrible. Just: samples and stimulus. I don't know why it makes me feel...and I don't want him to know I feel that way.

Samples? What kind of samples?

I won't say anything.

Blood. Hair. Tissue.

I didn't think you would, I was just saying so you wouldn't suggest I talk to him about it.

Do they hurt?

I know you don't, I could sense it.

Not really. I heal faster than a regular person would.

I guess but still, I would be annoyed if it hurt.

I guess I've just had a lot worse. Needles don't really bother me.

Needles?

Yes? You have to get the blood out somehow.

I've seen daggers work.

But I wouldn't suggest them.

Know that feeling.

Yeah?

My kind are hunted. Captured and tested on.
