Nikolas smiled at Katie, though he felt like he was going to be sick. It was clear that Katie really was on Taser's side, that she really did want to kill anyone who got in her way. She wasn't the same girl who joined the Thorns for protection, Nikolas knew. And whatever happened to her, happened... But Nikolas had to admit, if he could avoid killing her he would. She still was like a sister to him. A betraying sister who tried to kill him, but still. Suddenly Taser walked over to Katie and gave them his 'final' threat. Katie fell to the floor, obviously in pain.

"Wait, what? Cut that out!" Nikolas said, stepping forward hesitantly. Katie looked like she was going to die from the pain, and Nikolas wasn't going to let her die in front of him... But why would Taser hurt Katie? Weren't they all on the same side? Or, well, in Rei and Nikolas's case, pretending to be on the same side. It was all getting confusing, and Nikolas didn't really want to have to deal with everything... Why couldn't things go back to normal? The old, slightly stupid, kill anyone who has a different tattoo then you. Not exactly rocket science, that was for sure.

"You're not gonna do that to us, are you? I don't think I'd be comfortable with your weird electrical germs in me," Rei asked, shifting his balance. Nikolas had to agree. The idea of Taser 'giving' them his power? And with that kind of drawback? Yeah, Nikolas was going to stick with blowing things up, thank you very much. Still, it would be interesting to see what Taser would do... After all, he seemed like the kind of person who liked having control over the others. He was already crazy; it wouldn't take much more for him to really show it.
