------
Crow ran his fingers through his hair, thumb running over his bare forehead where his protector should have been. Except. Except it wasn't. And his journal wasn't in his bag where it belonged, either.
He was only lucky his glasses were intact.
He had been surprised. Genuinely surprised and thoroughly ambushed by his double. Only quick reflexes and a naturally strategic mind had let him escape with some bruises and a badly twisted leg. The things his twin had been able to do though... Combined with the complete merciless amusement in red eyes, red familiar and strange, had convinced Crow he was facing the monster he'd always suspected he might be.
But still, there was something wrong with the picture. The moves had been familiar, even the attitude. But the insanity? No. That was a worry of Crow's, but for some reason it just didn't fit.
He was still annoyed he'd let himself get jumped and let that creature steal two important items though.
But he'd deal with his impostor after he made sure his impostor didn't have a chance to harm those important to Crow. Crow had already checked on Drake, though he hadn't let Drake see him. Satisfied that his brother was safe, his next priority had been Vanilla, then Justice.
And Justice would have no hope if he went to "lessons" with Crow's evil counterpart. Crow knew that. He hoped the man would listen, but things weren't usually that simple, especially not in Edensphere.
He'd infiltrated the medical building without being noticed, after realizing that his own body double had painted him as the impostor. A few interactions in the market had alerted him to that. If he was very, very lucky, Justice hadn't read his journal yet. But he doubted he was that lucky.
"May I come in?" Crow asked, easing the door to Justice's office open and shutting it behind himself without waiting for a reply.
