As the sun rose on the next day over the Hellscape headquarters, Agent I and the man with the scar entered the cafeteria,
"I HAVE A QUESTION!" the agent exclaimed as they were sitting down to start their breakfast,
"You have a lot of those huh?" he responded sarcastically, the agent playfully scowled at him,
"You gonna ask it or you want me to read your mind?" he asked her
"YOU CAN DO THAT?!" the agent asked in a startled manner,
"NO! I'm kidding, I- Just ask your question" he said rolling his eyes
"Ok ok" she reassured him
"So, that unnatural the other day, the one you said was a 'white threat level', how did you know? He looked just like an ordinary guy..." she continued
"These" he responded as he pointed to his eyes he made glow their signature blue tone,
"I can see a person's soul and unnaturals souls have been snuffed out in exchange for their powers, so when I look at an unnaturals eyes, all I see is empty darkness" he explained
"oh so you can see my soul?" she asked
"Yep"
"Can you tell me what it looks like?"
"No"
"Why?!"
"Because I said so" he said, shutting down the conversation with a sarcastic smile as he began his breakfast.

Long after they had left the cafeteria, Agent I was still asking the man many questions,
"So when you shower, do the flames just cause the water to evaporate?"
"Unless my shower water is an unnatural... no, it does nothing to the water unless I want it to" he responded, he seemed very bored with her questions
"Basically, unnaturals can't touch me because they'll just burn. Anything else, won't burn. If I want it to burn, I think 'burn it', it burns. Simple" he added in a tone that indicated some mockery
"you didn't have to say it like that..." Agent I said as she rolled her eyes and the man chuckled
"Then how did you get that scar?..." she added, pointing to the man's left eye
I think that's enough questions for today..." said the man as he walked away
