She really shouldn't be, he's accepted this fact and is viscerally aware of it, plus it means that going forward she'll be guarded and be able to protect herself from whatever this ordeal throws at her. So he nods and accepts it, before letting his gaze wander over the water once again.]
However, the path ahead will be fraught with danger. The only real leads so far that I have are the little I know about these marks we've acquired. It was one of things I was told to look for when capturing a target to ensure I'd found the right person. It seems that these powers are linked to it, somehow.
[And it makes sense too- he'd only acquired his power just as he felt that burning sensation across his chest.]
It wouldn't surprise me if my employer knows a lot more about this, given their research into it- but they keep information behind a secure lock and key. Getting it will be tough, and might expose our identities if we're not careful.
