You don't get it, and why would you?

[ her tone shifts into being accusatory. why would john murphy understand where she's coming from? parts of him are definitely broken, but it's nothing they can visibly see. he hides it behind a rough exterior and a hand pushing harshly against the chests of many. raven's is out in the open, worn in the scowl on her face, the limp of her walk. ]

[ for a moment she sulks, pouting just a little. brows creased angrily, it's almost as though raven's waiting for her opportune moment to burst into flames like a great ball of space-fire. but she doesn't. she simply doesn't look at him when she speaks again, emotion thick and hot in her voice. ]

I want to go back to normal. This bionic physiology isn't normal, Murphy. It's like the chip all over again.

[ no, he wouldn't know, because despite all the shit he's been through, he'd never been permenantly crippled, like raven. he doubts he would have the strength to live with it as well as she had.

the urge flickers to apologize for it, guilt stabbing, but murphy chokes it down. raven won't accept it, and he doesn't need her having more ammunition over him. what he does instead is shake his head. ]

The chip was brainwashing with no sense of individual thought or free will. [ a beat, head tilted at the screen, like he doesn't get how she wouldn't understand that. ]

Getting free super powers is a lot different, Raven.

No it's not.

[ she tries her best to remain guarded around everyone, including her own shadow. but once she's emotional, all that self-discipline seems to go out the window. murphy had been a victim of her becoming emotionally tangled up. she feels horrible for it, but she refuses to let it sink her. instead, it constantly drives her toward him here. ]

I had individual thought. I had free will.

[ she visibly reels herself back in: eyes closed, swallowing, then she opens it and unclenches her fists. pulling herself back, it's not because this is john murphy. raven reyes simply doesn't want to relive it. ]

The chip gave me a free superpower, Murphy. Don't you get that? I felt no pain. [ and, as if out of instinct, she stomps her foot — her bad leg — to emphasise her meaning. ]
