Florence flapped his wings uncomfortably. "I could tell you about John. He talked a lot with the creator but he didn't like me very much." Florence said before mimicking an old commercial for chips.
-
That peaked Collins’ interest. She leaned against the wall. ‘Yeah, could you tell me about him? What’s his deal?’
-
"well, he was usually nice, but I could tell he didn't like me much. He looked at me like I was evil. John actually used to have a wife who worked here but she left before the creator did." Florence said as he scratched at his hair. He mimicked the beeping of a heart monitor
-
‘Do you know why she left?’ Collins asked, furrowing her brows. ‘And why he didn’t seem to like you?’
-
"I think she died. That's what everyone said happened to people working on cancer. I don't know why he didn't like me. He said I was wrong but I didn't say anything to him." Florence said. He mimicked an old tangent John went on about. "All of you freaks are wrong! You don't deserve to exist knowing what it took to make you live!"
-
Collins’ brows furrowed slightly as she tried to put two and two together. ‘Perhaps Xav- sorry, one of fhe patients was dear to him,’ she said, not saying anymore. Xavier had died, and Florence had previously been Xavier. Perhaps John disliked him because he took a life the man cared about to exist. It’s not like it was Florence’s fault, anyway.
-
"maybe, I actually had a friend who had the same name as beth. She got caught in the car though." Florence said. He remembered that John yelled a lot at beth and then he would cry at her. It confused Florence a lot.
-
'Caught in the car?' Collins asked, frowning. 'What do you mean by that?'
-
"well, they used to test how well we did with heat in a thing they called the car. I didn't do very well so they usually let me out early, but sometimes the locks would break and people would get stuck inside. Beth was just one of them." Florence said. He shifted his weight around on his arms remembering how uncomfortable the car was.
-
Collins winced. 'That's cruel,' she said quietly. 'Like, actually, not cool. Cars can get way too hot.'
-
"it was really hot. I think I still feel it sometimes." Florence said before mimicking a car horn
-
Collins leaned against the wall. ‘And you said they tested how long you could withstand heat… what’s the point of that?’
-
"I don't know. It's the sort of thing the assistant researcher likes doing. I hate when he experiments because it always means I get hurt." Florence said before mimicking a slide whistle
-
‘That’s… that’s horrible, Florence. I’m sorry you had to go through that,’ Collins said, rubbing her arm. ‘Are you hungry or something? Do you want some food?’
-
"I'd love some food!" Florence shouted excitedly as he hopped onto an old stretcher and spread out his wings
