???: ... will... he...

???: Possibly... eighty-seven percent...

The first thing you awoke to was muffled words. You couldn't quite pinpoint them but your body felt extremely tired, probably a by-product of being knocked out. However, you couldn't quite figure out why certain parts of your body ached fiercely, your muscles screaming and the skin atop of the muscles burning. Your breath panted out softly but your face was covered by something, clasped around your mouth and nose as your eyes slid open. One of your eyes slide open while the other one couldn't. The real eye... but where was... Your eyes glanced around only to see you were in a glass tube of sorts. 

???: Reco-... now?

???: ...Genetics... 

Your eye glared around the glass, feeling your body reawaken as your hand managed to lift and press against the glass. 

(Y/n): What the hell... is this...

You spoke out in a mutter, not sure you made any nose through the strange liquid and glass, the breathing apparatus on your face keeping you breathing. A feeling of anger and frustration filled your tired corpse, your limbs barely reacting to stimulation as even lifting yours had strained your body. You also couldn't figure out why your mechanical eye wouldn't open, though you got your answer quickly. Across from you was a few bits of your clothing, scattered tools, and in the middle of it, your eye. Mei's baby that she trusted to you. Mei... it has been a while since you talked with her. Weren't you supposed to go on a date with her? Hmm...

???: Were you?

A deep voice filled your head, your eye searching around the glass though you couldn't pinpoint a location.

???: Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you or harm you, enough has been done to you already by the heroes. anything I do would be barely scraping the surface.

(Y/n): What the hell are you talking about?

The deep voice chuckled in your ears, a chill running down your spine. 

???: I'm not here to anger you or frustrate you. If anything I simply want to know something.

You let out a sigh, your eye glancing around, once more looking around to try and figure out what was going on.

(Y/n): I don't know who you are. I don't know where I am, and unless if I get some answers you won't get anything from me, stranger.

???: Fair enough. You have been taken in by a group that only wants to see the world free of heroes' influence. to allow for the people of Japan... no... the world, set free and thinking for themselves. And I believe you will be a major part of that world.

(Y/n): You're a villain, aren't you?

???: Why do you say that?

(Y/n): I've listened to a lot of people, civs, heroes, villains, only villains go out of their way to paint something as a shining beacon. Heroes always act prideful, and civilians don't like going into details. 

???: Good. I was hoping you would put up a fight. I have no place for the spineless and the foolish. 

You sat in silence wondering how you played into the game this voice was supposedly playing. The burning in your muscles seemed to finally start subsiding your limbs moving a bit more.

???: You're not foolish (L/n) nor are you a coward. Our mutual associate Jack has provided me plenty to know not only where you mentally strong, but your body was the perfect vessel as well. It was only a matter of science.
