The projection in front of me went black, cutting off my connection to Atlas. I lowered my head and silently grieved. How could I have left my kids behind? I know why I was a coward. I was so afraid of what Bionic Corp would do to me that I didn't stop to think about what Bionic Corp would do to them.

A cybernetic fist pummeled into my face. "God, you're so pathetic. I expected so much more from you." The cyborg soldier taunted me.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrOLIql130
"How could you know what to expect? You don't know anything about me." I said, through labored breaths.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx83CsEVS5P
"No, I've heard plenty of stories about you. You're the infamous cyborg army deserter, Pedro Carrasco, or do you prefer the alias Patch Contreras? Either way, I've heard hushed whispers about you, the first cyborg to ever escape. Bionic Corp forbade us from ever speaking about it, but I heard plenty of gossip. You inspired plenty of comrades to try the same stunt you did."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeuIC1nHz
I glanced up in surprise. "They did? What happened to them?"
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPjlRBtNzp
He punched the other side of my face. "They're all dead because you put stupid ideas in their heads!
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs65DhhWgv
"Don't blame me, blame Bionic Corp. They're the ones who killed your friends, not me."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVB56FEw11
He kneed me in the stomach. "Shut up! They never would've had the gall to attempt something like that if it weren't for the legends of the unstoppable Pedro Carrasco. After everything, I knew I needed to meet you, that's why I volunteered to torture you, I needed to know what made you so damn special."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ge9L1VghO
I tried to stare him down, but my vision was so disoriented I couldn't tell exactly where he was, so I glared in his general direction.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1NAnEVdud
He spat on me. "Turns out, there's nothing special about you. You just had dumb luck on your side."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd07yR6ELx
"Not just dumb luck, I had good friends watching my back."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmIt87HBDl
"Where are your good friends now, huh? It looks like they left you to rot here."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspnTpqwh9z
"We had a little falling out. We're not on speaking terms right now."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTdn4gh89G
"I understand completely, I haven't spoken with my friends in years. It's probably because they're decomposing in shallow graves right now, because of you!"
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo34tQVLDkO
I gave up and turned my head away from him. This conversation wasn't going anywhere. There's nothing I could say to change his mind right now. There's so much anger inside him, but it's not his fault, he's only a boy. A boy who was damaged by the same corporation that damaged me. We're not that different deep down.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Oblivion sauntered out of the shadows.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW64ysaEgTC
"Where the hell have you been? I've been stuck covering for you for days!" My tormentor said to Oblivion.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxagX1r67UF
"I was stuck in line at the DMV." Oblivion drawled.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA3ifingP4
"This isn't funny! Marjorie is furious with you!"
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetco9LtV6B
"I'm not scared of her."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SRvNgZwGx
"You should be. She's vicious, and she'll kill any of us if we get too far out of line."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQBk5pzjj
Oblivion lowered their voice to a whisper. "Not me, I'm about to become irreplaceable."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLtJWcuW5C
Before anyone could ask them what they were talking about, Oblivion waved their dismissive hand. "You can leave now, Jordan. I'd like some alone time with the prisoner."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLgs8ff0k9
"Fine." He muttered curses under his breath as he stomped out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWcWsAwBpH
"Hello, Pedro. Are you feeling comfortable? "No? Good!" Oblivion chuckled to themself as if they'd just said something hilarious."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jIWamk7QR
I would've given Oblivion the middle finger if I still had a middle finger. My fingers were confiscated, along with my arms and my legs. They probably would've taken my organs too if I could live without them. "Do you need something, or are you just here to boast?"
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1VErsjzHE
"I'm just here to boast." They confirmed.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc6vtpTHyM
I rolled my eye. Great. "Do you want to tell me your evil plan too, while I'm a captive audience?"
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wgS1rz9G0
Oblivion let out an amused sigh and shook their head. "Nice try, but I'm not that dumb."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mHIygBfKg
I shrugged with what remained of my shoulders. "Eh, it was worth a shot."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloWHRqptqG
I could sense Oblivion's smile under the mask. "You're not scared of me, are you."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSLojSaaP3
"You haven't really given me a reason to."I glanced them up and down. You look like you weigh, roughly a hundred pounds."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dghQXTgjp
Oblivion glanced down at themself self-consciously."I have a fast metabolism."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUnWSbxm40
"Bionic Corp has gone downhill. Back in my day cyborg soldiers were terrifying. You're nothing but a scrawny goth teen."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnR9dKYyzb
"I have my own methods of intimidation." Oblivion bared their cybernetic claws and jabbed them into my one remaining eye.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2yjKIkmQh
To my surprise, the claws fazed right through me. "You're a Hologram!" I spluttered.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfm8s7MbsS
Oblivion laughed. "Of course I am. Do you think I'd waste my precious time slumming it with you? I'm on an important mission, right now." They lowered their voice to a whisper. "Just don't tell my boss, she thinks I'm here."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhijLnfvB4
I shot Oblivion a menacing glare. "Why the hell did you come here? What do you have to gain from talking to me?
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZ2QSVJze
On a screen in the darkest corner of the room, Oblivion pulled up a video of Atlas and Chase fleeing Marjorie Spoketon's mansion. "I want to know how it feels to abandon the people who depend on you most."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMvFZbnqH4
I shook my head. "It's the worst feeling in the world," I said honestly.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpQY9r63I0
"You know, Atlas truly surprised me today, I was convinced he was going to surrender the map for you. I'm surprised, I thought he loved you more." Oblivion shrugged. "That was a slight miscalculation on my part."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhKKLCE9Yz
"He made the right choice."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPddyw8bncp
"He did," Oblivion agreed. "You're nothing but a useless shell of a man who deserted his family, I wouldn't trade a pile of refuse for you."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO0uM3RiJ4
"You're right, I left my family and I deserve whatever happens to me now."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSauRSWqQa
I could sense Oblivion's frown. "It's no fun when you don't fight back."
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F7NSoYLdf
"Sorry to disappoint." I stared down at the ground in shame.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8BHCpWOgf
"I have to go." Oblivion slid open the cell doors and waved. "Enjoy your last twenty-four hours alive, Pedro."
