The past month- Months?- Had been strange. One night he'd found himself compelled to go out, as though something was calling to him. A silent siren song that had coaxed him into his car  and out into the country.

Where had he gone? What had he done?

Those were the questions he had to ask himself when he woke up in the middle of Hyde park in a rumpled suit and a brand new body. ...Possibly brand new. Certainly new to him in that moment, since he couldn't recall much of anything from the past few weeks. His head was pounding, and he was in agony. 

A large bird sat upon him. A hawk, he thought absently- Or maybe not. He couldn't seem to focus on it. Not when his gaze was so strongly drawn to all the blood. ...His blood.

"No," he said softly, trying to chase it away with a weak wave of his hand. "I'm free, you can't- He can't," he insisted, right before the world went dark. ...Not that it mattered. It would heal, he would heal. He always did. How else could the punishment continue?

Vanessa was quiet for a moment, regarding him with a slight frown, but she simply nodded her agreement. She did not like being unable to help, but she could see the sense in what he was saying.

"I've never expected my end to be happy," Vanessa pointed out. "But your point is taken. I hardly need to make it worse than it already will be."

Vanessa simply shot him a sardonic look. Said the Titan who she had found getting his liver eaten by a bird of prey again.

"Let's agree on fortunes," Vanessa stated. "But fate?"

Vanessa looked at him curiously. "So it's not three of them after all."

"Tell me about the one you were thinking of, then," Vanessa requested, ever thirsty for knowledge.

"That sounds lonely," Vanessa remarked quietly, watching him closely now, as she had while he spoke of her.

Vanessa's lips ticked up at what he called her; it was good to know that some things did not change. "Define 'us'."

She truly believed that there was a range of loneliness. She watched people; a great many of them were not as lonely as she felt, or as she felt some of them were.

"I can only begin to imagine how much worse a long life might make it," Vanessa admitted.

"Well." Vanessa smiled one of her usual, close-lipped smiles, more evident in her eyes than on her lips. "Madness loves company."
