Moment of Awesome - Laurie Collins/Wallflower: We do what we can to survive. In the haunted house, Laurie faces what might have been. She startled, and opened eyes that felt slightly gritty from lack of sleep. She was sure something was happening, some event she should probably remember but it was like smoke at the back of her mind and a pounding headache spoke of a few too many late nights. She’d come in here for something, but she couldn’t say what. The Baron wanted more from her every day and always there was the threat of what he’d do to Hope and her if she didn’t comply. She’d long since given up on her friends coming, or such things as ethics or right and wrong. There was simply what she did to survive, and if that made her a monster, than so be it. With a sigh, she pushed open the door to the operating theatre and walked over to the washstand to clean her hands. The patient, a young mutant already strapped to the table appeared already sedated. They’d given her a staff once she started cooperating. Better to remove the organs and keep them as undamaged and fresh as possible. Of course, there were also the experiments. She couldn’t help the scientific curiosity of genetic manipulation and forced cross breeding. As vile as the methods were, they certainly produced results she couldn’t argue with. There was always so much they wanted her to do, and so little time in which to do it. Best to get on with it, she supposed.
