I do --

[ but being defensive isn't going to help matters, and tony cuts that statement off before it starts. staring at cole, testing the waters. minding his patience. biting his tongue. ]

... how are you doing that. Specifically. You said you were Compassion, but that doesn't mean anything to me.

[killedwithlove]

Um... I know what hurts. I remember, I feel, I know so I can try and help. I understand.

I can't explain better without knowing more your world, so I use the right words.

[privatizes]

So you're an empath.

[ great. like wanda, except worse. at least wanda stays out of his head when requested. ]

An empath that can shut off his powers.

{ tony is captaining the wrong goddamn ship ]

How long have you been able to do that? What radioactive nightmare did you walk into?

[Cole looks at Tony, seeing and living memories, learning words and terms he needs.]

Like Wanda, but it doesn't turn off. It's what I am. I am Compassion. A spirit of Compassion. And I am Cole. I was Compassion first. I live people's memories, pains, thoughts, empath, telepath, psychometrist, psychic construct. I exist because I willed myself to exist in this world. So I could help.
