It takes nearly five months. They’re very good opponents, perhaps better than anyone he’s ever fought, and it’s brilliant. Mycroft is worried, of course, but then, he’s an interfering busybody who’s not to be trusted very far. A little testing has found the truth, though. His brother doesn’t actually understand this, which just makes it better. Finally, something that is his, entirely his. Something Mycroft doesn’t actually know.

There’s something wrong with her when he finds her. There’s a blackness in her eyes, something inhuman in her voice even as she thanks him. The others die. A few recruits make it, make a run for it.

When he wakes, she’s there. He died. This time he’s sure, and it’s fascinating. He doesn’t need to worry about that. She’s suddenly normal, like something is gone. Is possession possible? Suddenly there’s so much to know, so much to learn. The parents, her, they thank him, but he doesn’t even remember their names anymore, deleted. After all, there’s so much more to know, now. He needs all the room in his Mind Palace he can spare.

His eyes burn with a fever. He devours all the books he can find on the subject, tries to work his way through what’s real and what isn’t. (Sadly, that’s not labeled.)
