Desmond ignored the shouting idiot. They all hated what was happening but shouting at the top of one's lungs wouldn't change anything, in fact it would probably just paint a target on their head for the staff to keep an eye out for. When the kid yelled something about the government it made Desmond think, he'd always been a fairly patriotic person and yet his country was treating him like a criminal. As though he deserved this, for being some kind of a thug, a menace to society, and while he certainly wasn't a model citizen and he had his own dabbling in bullying it did not warrant being thrown into a maximum security prison for the rest of his life. Pedophiles, murderers, and terrorists got this kind of treatment, not young and confused kids who had no control over the way their DNA was sequenced. He could feel his rage building again and he breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have Teeth in him. Desmond looked around and saw all of the other kids making friends and forming groups already, he wondered if he and Eva should try to be in a larger group, what kind of society was already in the prison, gangs perhaps? And if that was the case then he wondered if Teeth made him enough of a threat to be noticed by them. He decided on staying with Eva, her being younger than him he felt some kind of responsibility for her.
Upon being introduced to Tower 89F Desmond gulped in fear. Back home he was a big fish in a puddle. Now he was a guppy in an ocean. He felt Eva's hand grip his and he squeezed back in return. Desmond's dufflebag was slung across his back and he used his left hand to reach into it and open the containment jar, letting the symbiote invade his body and hiding beneath his skin. He was sure that a few of the other kids behind him saw the black goo disappear under the skin of his wrist, however there didn't seem to be any guards behind him so he didn't care. He tilted his head towards Eva. "Stick close to me. Yeah? We won't survive on our own. And especially not if we look weak." He let go of her hand and straightened himself back up and started eyeing all of the veterans back. Showing them that he wouldn't be afraid of them just because he was new. He almost wanted to let Teeth show his teeth but feared any unseen cameras.
