[Definition of functionality, these two. Gabriel doesn't want to talk about it- not now, not ever. That much is clear on his face, but when Lucifer demands something... There's only so many vague, smart-ass responses you can make before you have to tell some of the story.]

These two companies everyone's always talking about? Are full of jackasses. I wanted to hit 'em. I followed a scent-trail to some guy who worked for one of 'em, supposedly working on something to keep people from ending up helpless if the Core goes nutty and zaps everyone's powers. I figured I could get a two-for-one deal, if he was legit. Turns out? He wasn't. I got caught, hauled in, and got to experience first hand what a high school Biology lesson feels like. I got out, got the guy back, and I've been a lot more careful since. End of story. Okay?
