It wasn't until later that we gave each other nicknames to step out of that rut." What was his? He frowned for a moment, trying to remember... but nothing came out so he simply shrugged it off.

"Sometimes it became harder to keep my individual thoughts due to my specialty and if I was on one of those missions for too long. You see, I'm a doppleganger, an infiltration specialist. I was sent to eliminate a special target and replace them for as long as my superiors needed me to."

To drive his point home, he stepped away from her and gave her a reassuring, warm smile... and then morphed almost instantly into an exact duplicate of Aya, even as he spoke, his voice was exactly like hers.

"What made it perfect was the fact that being a Spectre and a Ghost, I could already read minds... I'm rather adept at it so it made my job easier, steal memories, act like the targets etc." He switched back to his normal form and looked to the 'skies'.
