poly_chromatic | 009 [Accidental Video]

[These devises seriously act of their own accord.

At first when the broadcast starts there's no picture, only the slightly crinkled variations of darkness that suggests shaking around inside of someone's pocket . Even muffled by the fabric though the sound of heavy breathing and running is clear, although the rhythm of the footsteps don't quite sound right for someone on two legs. Suddenly whoever it is jolts to a stop and the sudden change tips the device from their pocket.
The screen, now shows the view ahead, a small alley on the edge of town, right by the woods, at the bottom of which stands a zombie. Someone missed the round up. Something behind the device snarls and the zombie looks up before moving forwards. Whoever's device it is steps forward, the side of their trainer blocking the camera for a moment before another loud snarl rips through the air and they launch themselves at the zombie. The two fight like animals and although the snarling thing is clearly stronger they keep flinching back away from the zombie before making themselves press forward again. The device remains unnoticed, not even the swirling snow seems to phase them.

It isn't a long fight, all claws and teeth and snarling, with an occasional string of abuse from the zombie whenever the other flinches. In the end it takes one well aim slash of his claws, nearly separating the zombie's head from it's body and it crumples. The victor takes a few faltering steps back before sliding down the wall, now half out of the shot. Only half in the picture and his knees drawn up to his chest, face hidden, except from the whimpering which sounds like a wounded animal, he looks more like a lost teenager than the beast from before.]

[Derek just picks Isaac up by the back of the shirt, when he finds him]

What are you doing?

[He doesn't sound mad or upset.]

[There's not resistance from Isaac who just looks over at the dead zombie]

I did it.

I see that.

Come on. Get up.

...I thought you'd be pleased.

[Still he gets his feet under him, even if he still seems a bit overwhelmed]

I'm proud of you.

[He says it softly, but it doesn't lose meaning]

[Isaac lets out a shakes breath and wraps his arms around Derek's waist and just hangs on tight, because sorry tough guy but the kid needs a hug]

Are you okay?

[ Whoever it is, whatever they are, they sound like they're in pain and Clary hates that. ] Do you need help?

[Isaac's head shoots up at the voice and he scrambles for the device, turning the camera into the ground before he switches it to an audio feed]

What did you see?

I'm not sure.

[ It sounded like an animal fight. ] Is that -- I recognise your voice.

Don't!

You don't know me. [Derek's going to KILL him]

I'm fine. I don't need help.

[ Tentatively. ] Isaac, is that you?

Hey. You okay?

I'm doing better than him, than it.

[No point hiding from someone who could smell the wolf on him anyway]

Clearly, but it's... it's hard killing someone - something - like that, even when you don't really have a choice.

I know. [She still remembers so vividly the first time she had to kill someone.]

So, are you okay?

No, not really. They thought it was me last time, but it wasn't, now I'm as guilty as they thought.

It would have killed you. It was self-defense and you have nothing to feel guilty about.

And if you hadn't stopped it, the thing would have gone on to attack other people who weren't as able to defend themselves.

You didn't do a bad thing.

Took care of business?

Yeah, he's dead again. Can't believe it was so easy to kill him.

Any regrets?

If I'd been strong enough not to be afraid of him, this place wouldn't have brought him here.

[Impressive.]

Good work. [Someone is clearly not put off at all by anything she's seen. In fact, she's probably seen stranger things.] Were you injured?

[Isaac switches straight over to audio, people have seen enough and he's hoping no one else will realise its him. Luckily he's overwelmed by what's happened and won't be fan-girling over Natasha this time.]

Good work? He's dead.

I uh, I heal.

[She won't hold your privacy against you. Everyone is entitled to their secrets, she's hardly one to begrudge someone else theirs.]

Which is why it was good work.

[A pause.]

Good. That is always useful, and unfortunately not one of my particular gifts.

I guess. Still can't believe I'm stronger than him...

Yeah, its pretty great. Being quick enough to not get hurt is better.

Sometimes, we're stronger when we need to be.

I'm usually pretty quick, but I don't depend on that alone.
