Caustic considered very few people in his life to be important. His parents, Luc, and Natalie. That was it. Attachments were unforgiving and unfruitful, and he would argue those were the only good relationships he had had in his life. Luc had always been so kind and tender, holding the
Frenchman's body in his arms broke his heart for years. Caustic was well-accustomed to death, lived in it and thrived in its presence. With the application of science, death was a controllable variable. Luc's death had been a shock to both, and Caustic had reject all notion of attachment since then.
But Octavio....
Caustic sat back when he was questioned about the speedster, rolling his shoulders and glancing at the wall. Octavio was a wild card, played into Caustic's hands over and over until his fingers were wearing away the ink. He had an affinity to danger, and walking into Caustic's lab was an easy ticket to pain and death. "Depends on your definition, of course, but Octavio was never right in the head in the first place." That much was true- Octavio vied for attention at all costs, putting his body on the line every day just for people to watch him. The daredevil called being underneath Caustic's scalpel home, and knew Caustic for the cruelness in his heart. They were awful together.
"An addict. He seeks danger and adrenaline like a moth to flame."
