Robin listened as Dom told of her latest adventures and watched as she adjusted her arm. As he watched, it almost seemed to him that she was accepting of this arm and perhaps even the new life. She had lost so much with her family, but listening to her talk and watching her work on her arm, she just seemed comfortable. Even a smile crossed her lips as she spoke of Henry.
Robin felt lost. He hated what was happening to his body and he hated being imprisoned as he was. All that went through his mind was rage, revenge, hatred towards those people that were holding him here. He even fantasized about killing the guards in an attempt to escape. He knew he dare not speak to Dominique about this. He did not wish to get her in trouble and be punished for things he did and he was not certain she would not rat him out if he told her of his plans.
As he sat and listened, the wheels in his head spun as to how to get out of this place. As he sat, the door opened and Juan appeared. He pointed at Robin and motioned for him to come out of the cell. Robin rose and walked out, giving Dom a pat on the back as he walked past her. When he entered the hallway, he saw only Juan there. They moved down the hall and Robin asked, "So, what is your special power or ability. I can't believe they would allow you to walk alone with me seeing what kind of freak they turned me into. You must be able to handle yourself."
Juan just chuckled a bit, "We are not allowed to speak of what has happened to us. Suffice it to say that I made my way through the pit, but I was not deemed to be what they were looking for in this little army they are trying to make." Robin stopped and turned to look at Juan. "What exactly is it that they are attempting to do here? Take over the world? I don't get it. Kidnapping, murder, crazy whacked out experiments...what is the purpose. Why doesn't the law, the government see that something strange is happening?"
Juan stopped and motion Robin to walk into the door next to them. Robin did as he was asked and walked inside the room. Inside was Dr. Luxuria, arm still in a sling. "Come sit down Robin. I have one more injection I need to give you, but this one will be a poke and nothing more." Robin took a seat and in short order his sleeve was pushed up and his arm was swabbed with an alcohol swap and then poked with the needle. "There. That is it. You are now set to go. As you have gathered already, you have been given injections to enhance your strength and your body also has the ability to self heal. Not that you can regenerate body parts, but your flesh can mend it self right to the cellular level in a fraction of the time of a normal human."
Robin sat there listening, tapping his fingers on the table he sat next to. "Is this the place where you are expecting me to thank you? For kidnapping me? For turning me into a freak? For making me murder people to save my own life? What are you expecting of me? What is purpose of all of this?" He watched Luxuria as she stood there and just looked between Robin and Juan. "You can take him back to his cell now. I am done with him."
Robin stood and pounded the metal table with his hand, caving the top of the table in. "Tell me!" he demanded. Quickly soft thuds of air escaping a compressed tube was heard and sharp pokes to his back and neck were felt. Everything went black.
He woke up in a darkened room. He was lying on a cold metal floor, obviously not his cell again. Water could be heard dripping in a small metal sink mounted to the wall of the cell. As he sat up, Robin could almost reach both walls by just stretching out his arms. The dim light coming from under the metal door was all he had to lighten the room. Robin just sat there, his throbbing head in his hands.
