Wells smiled at the committee member.
"I don't need the work. I just want a bit more of it, you know?"
Suddenly, a void appeared behind Wells. He felt afraid, although his lack of instincts meant that he simply stared at the ground. Then his fear faded, and he was prepared to face anything that came outside. People were crying, others merely feared for their lives. Some were frozen in horrors, while others prepared for their deaths. There was no doubt that some people would have nightmares of this moment. Suddenly, red eyes looked from beyond the darkness. And a terrifying roar unlike any struck despair into the crowd. After a very long minute, a figure appeared from the dark portal. While people took a few seconds to ensure that what they saw was real, Wells listened to a few lines in his head. Bizzarely, the person from the portal casually walked to the committee, signing the form and receiving his papers. He completely ignored the people crushed by fear right behind him!
This was his chance to make people smile.
"Are you rude?" Wells said, hoping that the entire crowd could hear his voice.
He looked at the mysterious, pale man. He scowled as he did it, and it seemed very out of place on his face. He took long, confident steps towards him, hoping to become the center of attention. After a few steps, he replaced his scowl with an almost cruel smile. Then he took a few seconds, hoping to let the sentence set in.
"You must think that's an absurd question. Because it's obvious, right? You created a pool of darkness on the ground, looked at us with glowing red eyes, and roared like a demon. I wasn't very nice in my introduction, but I didn't make everyone here fear for their lives! Yes, we can tell that you're an avatar. But now you've spoiled it for the rest of us! Some won't forget it for years, every night recalling the greatest terror in their lives. It makes me wonder..." Wells snarled as he spoke, hoping to display bubbling anger nearly bursting.
Again, Wells waited a few seconds to let what he said set in. Hopefully, he could make the crowd quiet so that everyone could hear his next few words.
"Are you an idiot?"
