The sound of an assault rifle rings in his ears, and instincts immediately kick him into action. He's running down the rooftops to the source, jumping from one ledge to the other, landing on the balls of his feet- or rolling forward when the distance is too great. It's not long until he sees her-
And there's a rope shooting out towards her. Bruce jumps down from the building, a hand around the grapple, and he's swinging forward, his feet kicking out at the door even as the knife he holds sweeps a circle around him. Cutting off the rope.
Another down. Bruce stops there for a moment, cape flying in the wind. ]You're very ( ... )

How does it spread?
And how can the spread be stopped?

After that, I can only guess that the military took over and just gave up on finding a cure, because they start to shoot any -
[ Zoey hears a shuffling, weeping noise behind her and turns. She sees someone with a bright red jacket, moving slowly toward them. ]
Hello?
[ The person got closer and Zoey is seeing herself: but with a pink jacket and jeans in tears, arms covered in boils and hands becoming claws and her eyes are completely white oh my godOther-Zoey lets out a hissing scream and charges. And not even thinking, Zoey raises her rifle and empties her magazine into the monstrous version of herself. It still charges, it still moves, not unlike a Witch would. Now panicking, Zoey did what she normally does when pinned by any ( ... )

And his train of thought is immediately broken when he hears the mutation- and he steps back and lets her deal with it. It looks like her previous self has died on the island, swallowed by the island's monsters- which means that this version ight not be her at all. Is there a possibility that all of them are clones, with all of the memories and the physical shape of the original?
... No, it's not possible. His muscle memory is working just fine. So if they are the same person... how can this be her? If she has returned home- no time to ponder about it.
When the head falls off, Bruce darts forward, batarang before his fingers. He shoves the thing against the chest, straight through the heart- and pulls it back out again. Darkness and black, blood-like substances ooze out- and he steps back. ]
We have to go. Now.
[ And he's grabbing her by the wrist. ]

[ That's all she could even comprehend. She just shot herself. What the hell is this place?
What's even worse is that this other Zoey looks exactly like a Hunter. Oh god, she wants her family back. More than ever now.
Suddenly, she feels a sudden, burning ache coursing through arms and shoulders, not unlike Zoey had felt when she had to do twenty push-ups in gym class in high school. (God, what a memory.) She shakily holsters the rifle and drew out her pistol, turning on the flashlight connected to it. She doesn't even bother protesting the guy holding her wrist like she's ten - she's just not in the state of mind to even think now.]

So how did that happen? How is it even possible?
They are almost reaching the Apartments when he stops, turning around to look at her. ]
That wasn't you.
Tell me you know that, if nothing else.

[ Her arms and shoulders feel like they are on fire. She kneels over, trying to ease the pain. It doesn't help. ]
People tell me I was here before. Did I had friends in this place? I don't know, and even if I had friends they haven't called me and say, 'Hey, remember me?' Or here's a better one, 'Hey, maybe there's an other-you out there that might be a monster, just fyi!'
[ She can't even hold the pistol in her hand anymore. She puts back on its holster, underneath her jacket. She tries to rub her arms instead, trying to remember how to handle pulled muscles. ]
And why the hell did that head went flying? I'm not that strong. [ She knows Francis is big and strong enough to put in enough force to cave an Infected's skull in, but she hasn't done anything like that before. ]

Because it's not alive, and it wasn't you. [ Flatly. ] It's a Darkness monster of someone who looks like you.
[ Pause. ]
They might not know you simply because they might be gone.

[ Maybe that's what happened. Maybe Zoey did die in this place and this her on her second life. Or something. ]
Is it possible to go back and find messages this first-life me did? Even private messages?
[ Maybe this iPhone is the other-her iPhone, given to her magically. ]
Reply
Of course. [ That's what he'd done himself. ] Though for private messages, you'll have to learn how to hack them.
[ Pause. ]
Your NV is likely different.

Okay.
[ She heads toward the door. Ugh, her entire back is cramping up. She is in major need of a hot bath, but she has to wait for it until sunrise.
This night totally blows. ]
Thanks for your help.

He's already gone. ]

Oh, so he's one of those kind of guys.
She rolls her eyes and closes the door behind her.
Francis would definately hate his guts. ]
