Displaced: Impulse Buy

"It doesn't matter what I look like, what does matter is why you are letting that beast control you."

The child grew defensive at the word beast.

"He's not a beast, he's BurningGreymon the beast form of the legendary warrior of fire."

Not wanting to point out the contradiction, she asked again.

"Why is BurningGreymon controlling you then?"

The boy shyed away at that.

"He hurt some people and destroyed their homes. I don't want to be blamed for that."

"From the sound of it he doesn't seem very legendary."

"He is though, it's just that he has trouble controlling himself since he's the beast form and not the human form Agunimon. All he's wanting to do is find my shield and guns."

"Wait, those things are yours but my council said the owner was an adult terran not a child."

"I'm not a child though and I don't know what a terran is I'm just like this because I'm hiding in my memories from my childhood."

"I see, well there's no need to hide. I know the truth and that's all you need, to be safe so why don't you stop hiding so we can get out of here and meet in person."

Nodding in agreement, the young looking adult scrunched his face in concentration. Soon Faust lost feeling of being in the mental world and regained feeling in the real. Opening her eyes she found herself staring at the face of the now named BurningGreymon but instead of the glowing red feral eyes it was the blue eyes of the child that Faust met.

"Are you ok Lauren."

Hearing the now adult sounding voice calling her by her first name while so close to her face, she couldn't help the blush that appeared under her fur. Pushing the larger body away from her and sitting up quickly she regarded the monstrous form with a cool gaze.

"Who am I talking to, is it BurningGreymon or the boy I met?"

Not noticing that the mouth of her ex-opponent was actually armour, she was surprised to see the two plates separate giving her a toothy smile.

"It's me Jack, the guy you met."

Calming her cool gaze a little she started her own interrogation.

"What are you Jack?"

Instead of answering though, Jack became enveloped in ethereal glowing strands of light. When the lights receded, BurningGreymon's form was replaced with an older looking version of the child she met.

"I'm supposed to be human, but now, I have no idea."
