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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX7Awc7Ha6
"How could you know what to expect? You don't know anything about me." I said, through labored breaths.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3kYRH0ZtA
"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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm1KulpoZ7
I glanced up in surprise. "They did? What happened to them?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53uqM3x4eE
He punched the other side of my face. "They're all dead because you put stupid ideas in their heads!
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8fxWv53kr
"Don't blame me, blame Bionic Corp. They're the ones who killed your friends, not me."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYXiFEr2Kz
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM1d4c44Fr
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6jO2eRqj9
He spat on me. "Turns out, there's nothing special about you. You just had dumb luck on your side."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMSnW1ee50
"Not just dumb luck, I had good friends watching my back."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKWLhRETlH
"Where are your good friends now, huh? It looks like they left you to rot here."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfh1TiQAOn
"We had a little falling out. We're not on speaking terms right now."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6h0VxiHU1
"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!"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePjmlb7iy
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9C4m5jMEh
"Where the hell have you been? I've been stuck covering for you for days!" My tormentor said to Oblivion.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxxpjVVgg7
"I was stuck in line at the DMV." Oblivion drawled.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fXSLN8nF3
"This isn't funny! Marjorie is furious with you!"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzEMVMwYF
"I'm not scared of her."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeflilrD7B
"You should be. She's vicious, and she'll kill any of us if we get too far out of line."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFLpBN7h53
Oblivion lowered their voice to a whisper. "Not me, I'm about to become irreplaceable."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRlsPgrsr
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNB5rrnZdq
"Fine." He muttered curses under his breath as he stomped out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKT9OhQKbP
"Hello, Pedro. Are you feeling comfortable? "No? Good!" Oblivion chuckled to themself as if they'd just said something hilarious."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaXMC4FeTG
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?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnyTUhArI6
"I'm just here to boast." They confirmed.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI67BCvxdlV
I rolled my eye. Great. "Do you want to tell me your evil plan too, while I'm a captive audience?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSOTJXQvvi
Oblivion let out an amused sigh and shook their head. "Nice try, but I'm not that dumb."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGZFPb1UfZ
I shrugged with what remained of my shoulders. "Eh, it was worth a shot."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAWdtKvV5p
I could sense Oblivion's smile under the mask. "You're not scared of me, are you."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11P1LCcpsq
"You haven't really given me a reason to."I glanced them up and down. You look like you weigh, roughly a hundred pounds."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVvOsOSavx
Oblivion glanced down at themself self-consciously."I have a fast metabolism."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqZZRVIhFh
"Bionic Corp has gone downhill. Back in my day cyborg soldiers were terrifying. You're nothing but a scrawny goth teen."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjuB6RsFEn
"I have my own methods of intimidation." Oblivion bared their cybernetic claws and jabbed them into my one remaining eye.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVaW1YkxJ3
To my surprise, the claws fazed right through me. "You're a Hologram!" I spluttered.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyiJBrVsjc
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee6m27Vr3h
I shot Oblivion a menacing glare. "Why the hell did you come here? What do you have to gain from talking to me?
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6OPeiYI0f
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynfLAEITYv
I shook my head. "It's the worst feeling in the world," I said honestly.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy20Nqis9e0
"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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSDCBFGDo
"He made the right choice."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsKFs8YCip
"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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEul2O0gcaL
"You're right, I left my family and I deserve whatever happens to me now."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn2yRePUsC
I could sense Oblivion's frown. "It's no fun when you don't fight back."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33q5H9Cksj
"Sorry to disappoint." I stared down at the ground in shame.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XbZY8woFI
"I have to go." Oblivion slid open the cell doors and waved. "Enjoy your last twenty-four hours alive, Pedro."
