Chemical Love

*Originally Published March 5th, 2016*

Note: I had the urge to rewrite this chapter and do it some justice. 16 year old me had good ideas and mid execution lol. I'll keep the old one around for memory's sake but the new one will be added as a new chapter in this book.

  "So this is the place. Kinda steely." You said to yourself, overlooking the walls of the inside of the lab on Punk Hazard. "Why a mad scientist needs another scientist, I don't know. But, this shit pays well, new location, and more opportunities for me to expand my chemical knowledge. And to show off of course." You nodded, marching off down the steel halls. "I hope this guy is hot."

With that joking remark in mind, you went up many stairs and down many halls in search of the main lab and office to announce yourself to the man you would now have to work with. This place was so damn big though that navigation was difficult at first. You soon got the hang of the layout after a bit and managed to easily make your way around the next couple of floors –each bigger than the last– until a very large door labeled "LAB" stood before you, locked with two password pads and a caution tape design on the doorframe. Yep, this was definitely the room.

"Hellooooo! I'm looking for the boss of this nerd lair! Open up man!" You called out, banging on the door multiple times with your fist.

"You must be the one who answered the call to be my assistant." A strangely high but masculine voice answered from beyond the door after a couple of moments. "You're very brave. Are you sure you're up to this task of working with me?"

"I sailed the shittiest of seas, walked over a molten wasteland, straight into a frozen hell, and marched my ass through this maze of a damn lab. Of course I'm up to the task. You're talking to a literal chemical genius." You argued smartly, intending to show where you stood and that you weren't anyone's bitch.

"We'll see about that chemical genius part miss. But since you're so bold, welcome to my lab~! Shurorororo~!" He laughed, the door sliding open before you as a thick misty gas spilled out onto the floor. Once the door had fully opened, the said gas was flowing from the man who spoke to you straight from his own lab coat, long and straight yet fluffy black hair being the mess that topped his head, a couple of horns protruding from his head as well. Finally seeing the man you were to work with now, you were quite impressed, your comment about hopes of him being hot fulfilled in your eyes. His sinister amber eyes captured you as you examined his facial features, the purple tint of his lips interesting you as you stared for a moment more before speech.

"Daaaamn... You're a devil fruit user too. Fuckin' sweet." Were the first words to leave your mouth, you stepping through the gas and into his lab. "This place is frickin' huge, and cool as shit. So I like, live here now right?" You asked, eyes lighting up with sudden excitement.

He nodded, amused by your excitement. "This entire building is yours to use. I even have a map and code number for your room."

"Awesoooome~!" You sang, looking around the whole of the lab to take in your new work space. "Oh shit! You don't even know my name! Forgot to introduce myself in the excitement. I'm _______! Pleased to work with you!" You bowed.

"Greetings _______. I'm Caesar, master of this lab." He said. Returning your introduction. "So, I have one question before I start anything. Are you afraid to be here? Scared, intimidated, of me, the job, or the purpose. Basically, tell me about yourself _______." He inquired, reclining back on his cloud of a lab coat.

"Hmmm..." You hummed thoughtfully, dropping your bag on the floor next to you. "I would say no. The whole 'mad scientist' thing is what I'm all about! So no, you don't scare me, no the job doesn't scare me, and I don't care what it's for, I've been dreaming of a lab this big to work in for YEARS! Being a chemist since I was about six, that's all I've dreamed of actually." You chuckled. "That's why I jumped on the job when I seen the danger rating. The more dangerous, the more fun!"
