Edward waited outside the gym for something. What it was, his simple mind and limited vocabulary couldn't quite place, but he knew that it was important for him to refrain from entering the gym until he was supposed to. Somehow, he did know what was going to happen once Jack Harkness arrived with Tonks. He would need to hurt her, and make her bleed. He thought of the ways he'd do this, which of his blades he'd use, how much blood was likely to come from each laceration.

"I'll start with staring at her. Then I will continue with her arms. Then, after that, I'll cut her legs. I'll cut her face next. Then I'll cut her hands. Then, after that, I'll count the drops of blood." Edward said all of this with a blank face reminiscent of his early days after his creation by the inventor. Then, the seventh sentence he uttered was accompanied by a frightened change of expression and a soft sniffling.

"I don't want to do this..."

Tonks' heartfelt pleas would doubtless move Edward, on any other day, during any other experiment. The man was quick to love, and hate or malice were virtually unknown to him. Even what he was doing now was far from a demonstration of ill intentions. It was bewildered, unquestioning obedience, but he didn't mean to harm his friend. It just felt right. So right, in fact, that it was the only correct thing to do. Even when Tonks' skin tore, Edward's expression didn't change. "You should stay still," he said in his usual quiet voice. The first cut had been to his friend's arm, and now he was continuing with her legs, cutting long gashes deeply and with the same distant expression that would suggest chopping vegetables.
