Listening to insane people talk was…underwhelming
Was he a normal person without powers he might have been worried or even downright traumatized but with his ability he had been at little to no risk or even discomfort
His power to nullify powers was a simple yet effective one, should a person be within ten meters of him their powers will simply cease to work, as well as this any effects created would allow disappear, for example if someone shot a fire ball at him it would simply disappear without touching him
This was why the staff of the Catacombs had been so desperate to hire him, while they were in an extreme need of employees the very idea of having an employee that couldn't be killed by the inmates was nearly priceless for them
Normally a therapist would have to talk to an inmate from a safe distance, but he could simply sit on a couch in front of them. The previous five inmates where two women and three men, when they had entered his office, they had felt their powers leave them almost instantly and most were reduced to a crying or catatonic state at the loss
Although one of the women had tried to break her cuffs and attack him before sitting back down when he pointed the gifted colt at her
In the end not one of them had even answered one of his questions so he was unable to do his job properly, if this kept up it would be one boring year.
As the now sobbing inmate left begging for his powers back so he could be safe from the "scary man" was escorted by Hammond the guard who was clearly overjoyed at how easy his job now was. Before he had to risk being burned, bitten, killed or any number of bad things when he escorted the inmates out but now all he had to do was promise them their powers back if they behaved and they would return to their cell without a noise.
As the guard left Cade began to inspect his sixth and last client of the day, she appeared to be a "Named Villain"
Named villains where those that had gained enough infamy before capture that they had gained a nickname from the masses and judging from her file she was an interesting case
Name: Alice Dawson AKA Little Red
Ability: Empowered Secondary Personality
Main Crimes: Manslaughter, Murder, Serial Murder
Mental Disorder: Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder). Has two personalities, originally possessing only one, when her ability awoke it created another that is extremely violent, and she has no control over it and has named it "The Wolf"
Threat Level: F threat level when possessed by Alice Dawson, A threat level when possessed by "The Wolf"
Containment method: heavily reinforced cell
"What an odd girl" he couldn't help but let out a little smirk as he reached into the small safe next to his chair and poured himself a small glass of rum, only a few centimeters worth
Taking a sip and releasing a pleased sigh, he watched as the doors opened and revealed a guard escorting a small woman
Looking at her he went over her features, white hair, red eyes, petite frame, and size and extremely beautiful. She matched her files picture aside from the wrist and ancle restraints, oh and the muzzle
"Ahh Welcome miss Dawson take a seat" he said giving a gentle smile, indicating towards the couch and the metal bar at its base
Looking at him as if she had just seen him kill a cute animal she shuffled over to the couch before the guard attached one of her chains to the metal bar and left
Before the silence became awkward Cane decided to introduce himself "hello miss Dawson my name is Mr. Barlow and I will your therapist for the foreseeable future, as she just continued to stare, he got a little uncomfortable "Miss Dawson?
"What happened?... What did you do?..." he heard her whisper, so quietly that had they not been only a meter apart he may have not heard her, her red eyes seemed to be trying to see his very soul "Why is the wolf screaming?"
Wow, she had flummoxed him in one sentence…speechless
"Are you referring to your secondary personality miss Dawson?" he tilted his head out of minor confusion as the idea of both her being able to hear and perceive the "wolf" screaming hinted more to schizophrenia than DID (dissociative identity disorder) "I was unaware you could actually hear them speak"
"y-yes ever since I gained my ability, I have been able hear them" she responded rather shyly "but y-you didn't answer my question"
She wasn't wrong he hadn't because he was trying to find out what the hell could cause such an adverse reaction to the second personality, especially since "The Wolf" as she had named it was an extension of her, yet she wasn't screaming
Looking at her file once more he pieced together a rough sketch of a theory "it is possibly due to my ability Miss Dawson… may I call you Alice?" it was rather annoying with the continues miss and mr talk
Looking rather shock that he had asked her so blatantly a slight blush arose in her cheeks, and she gave a slight nod of her head before coming to her senses and continuing her questioning "what is your ability then Mr…."
"Barlow… but feel free to call me Cane. Alice my ability is the nullification of abilities once they reach a certain proximity and seeing as how your ability is that of your Empowered Secondary Personality it is likely stripping her of the abilities she once had unlike yourself who was never in control of them in the first place
Her eyes widened in shock at the concept of her alter self having no powers that she didn't have and then promptly began sobbing, maybe in relief, maybe from grief
She continued to do so until the guards escorted her out
