Gabriel stepped back, eyes wide. "Wha-?"

Adelheid looked about to attack when Veneziana stood, waving her arms. "It's not a creeper or a rapist or anything! It's Uncle Jack!"
"Or, as you used to know me, Aunt June," the man shrugged.

"Wait, June?" he gulped. "Are you alright?"

"Well, I'm a guy now and I haven't shaved in about a month. So I'm not exactly peachy at the moment. I've been looking for you guys, you know. I was worried, but it looks like you're handling all of this well."

"We've been alright," Gabriel said, sighing. "Do you have any idea about what any of this is?"

Jack's eyes darkened. "No," he sighed. "I wish I did. Look, I'm a trained Legilimens and interrogator. Nobody here knows what's going on, trust me. Something more powerful than even the people I've seen around here-- and I've met live superheroes, children of gods, travelers of space-- did this this to us. I'm scared to even think what it could have been."

Gabriel felt his mouth go dry. "Oh... well-" He was cut off by a loud shriek. Jenna had appeared behind them, and had no idea what was happening. Impulsively, she picked up a large stick and threw it at Jack.

Jack sighed and caught it easily. "Cop, remember?" he put it down, crossing his arms. "Wait. Isn't that the kid I used that placebo on? Veratiserum? What was the name... Josh or James or something like that?"

"James," he confirmed. "Now Jenna."
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Jenna asked, her voice wobbling.

"Jack Falnix," the American shrugged, putting out his hand. "Formerly known as June. I interrogated you once, when you attacked Gabriel here. I told you the water was truth potion and you sung like a canary."

Jenna narrowed her eyes, but said nothing as she shook his hand.
Gabriel looked down, saying nothing as well, but rubbing his chest subconsciously. He was glad nobody knew how he had been sliced open. It was slightly sick, in a way. He wondered what could have possibly made her want to cut it like that. Either way, he was permanently left with a considerably large, heart shaped scar on his chest. He glanced at Adelheid and vaguely wondered if, now he was a guy, he'd ever show her.

Adelheid glanced at his hand. "Er.... You miss being female?"

Gabriel blushed and whipped his hand away. "No! I mean yes, but..." he continued to look more flustered as he tried to speak. Finally, after a deep breath, he muttered, "scars... I wanted to..."

She stiffened. "Scars... Like the ones you got when you were attacked?"

"Yeah," he said quietly, nodding. "Do you think it's be alright if I um... showed you..?" he looked down, still flustered.

She shifted, hiding a smile. "Yes. You can show me."

"Um... come with me," he mumbled, looking down and walking out just outside of the camp, hands in his pockets.

Adelheid followed, vaguely curious about what she would see.

He stopped, gave her a small smile for a second before closing his eyes and pulling off his shirt. On his chest, there was a large, jaggedly cut shaped heart that had been cut in several strokes and reached from his stomach to just below the neckline of the shirt so it couldn't be seen. His breathing quickened, and he didn't open his eyes.

Heidi's fingers traced the scar gently, her eyes huge. Who could have done something like this? Why?! Her voice caught in her throat as she spoke. "This... Couldn't have been from one curse. This is knife work."
