Ivan smiled at the man. His head was clear and he wasn't in pain. In his book, it was a good day. A great day even. And his benefactor didn't appear to be going anywhere. He could take a moment to talk to a brother in arms.
"No worries, man. So you're new to the 'squad' huh? Bet you've got some stories to tell, then."
It was true. They all did. Drayson had sifted through every department to fill out the monster squad. It was practically required that you had some run in or other with a beastie or three. Unless they were, well, 'special', like Alex or he was. Not that being 'special' had helped all that much, as it turned out. Well, to be fair, the guy would've done worse. Still, his failure to stop the guy and save those people gnawed at him.
It was why he wasn't gonna let the preacher here go. He had to get control of his abilities. If he was in a less charitable mood, he might be irritated that The Ascendancy hadn't taught him more before sending him out. He almost felt shame at even questioning him. He doubted the guy had time to sit around training newbs. So it was up to Ivan to find training where he could. Well he'd found it. And he'd be a pain in the guy's ass until he'd learned everything he could.
"Good to meet you. So you have the investigation huh? Takehiko was here- he's part of the team- but mostly to check up on me. I wasn't real helpful anyway. It's hard to remember much. The guy just attacked out of nowhere. I don't know what set him off or why. "
