[Accelerator shifts back, sitting down properly. He still doesn't like where they are, but there isn't much he can do about it.]
Hm.
[Lazarus. He isn't religious, but he's aware of some Christian story about someone by that name being brought back to life. So is it some spiritual bullshit, or did some scientist just have a sense of humour...? Either way, more pieces are being put into place.]
So you came back, but that didn't fix the injuries your body had sustained? Not fully, at least. You still needed this - [He waves a hand at the pit.] - potentially at the cost of your mind.
[He's rolling through all of that matter-of-factly, since that's the easiest way for him to process all of this despite none of it being the least bit scientific. It occurs to him that a lot of things are adding up to Jason being a much more dangerous person than he had first thought. Yes, the duffle bag full of weapons and willingness to show a teenager how to both torture someone and use a firearm already scream dangerous, but the rest of this -
The trauma of being beaten to the point of brain damage, his mother's betrayal, the explosion, coming back from all of that but not all the way. Needing this pit, and whatever the hell kind of insanity trade-off it forced onto his mind....
Jason had said he came back angry. Accelerator is certain he came back a lot more than just angry.
He lets out a breath, kind of a laugh but not really.]
