(Y/n POV)

"Great, more acid rain. Fucking super." I say to myself as I trudge towards one of Carmines armories. I look around for a second before noticing that their are more guards than usual patrolling. "Just my lucky day. Damnit!" I calm myself down before I get myself noticed. "Just sneak in, grab something you can use, and get the fuck out. I don't earn enough to buy this shit, and that bastard refused to put down anything in advance. I need to hurry." I notice a window of opportunity as the guards begin to argue about something.

"Are you sure we're enough? The boss will kill us if someone gets in" says one of the guards after they calm down a bit. 'Sorry guys' I think to myself as I sneak right by them. The door is covered by almost a dozen more security guards. 'Fuck that mess' I decide to scale the side of the building and find a window that appears to be cracked open just barely. 'That'll do' I turn my body into a red mist and slip inside before immediately reforming. 'TOO FUCKING CLOSE!' I can only stay mist for barely a moment, it's mostly useless except for a neat party trick...haven't been to one of those in forever.

I start to explore the facility and realize I may have overshot my goal a little. This was a experimental weapons test facility disguised as a normal armory. "I really shouldn't be here." I mutter to myself before hearing someone behind me. "No you shouldn't" I turn around to see one of Carmines daughters. "What are you doing here?" She asks me with a steely cold tone. "Clara carmine, daughter of Carmilla Carmine, book keeper for the businesses sales. I'm surprised that Odette isn't with you." Before I could say any more she pulls a gun on me. "Answer the question now!" 'Well shit. Time to improvise'

I immediately rush her causing her to fire, but I simply move aside. She move her aim towards me again but I knock the gun out her hands before pinning her against the wall. Terribly sorry about this, but you did attack me first. I hit a few pressure points and she goes limp unconscious. I lightly set her down before hearing a alarm start to blare. 'Damnit!'

I turn to see her sister Odette had pulled the alarm. "So that's where you were." I rush towards her, but suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my side as I'm sent flying into a wall. "What did you do to my daughter!" I look up a see a particularly pissed looking Carmilla Carmine staring at me while holding a unconscious Clara. "Nothing she can't sleep off. She'll wake up in a hour or two." She appears to calm down slightly after knowing her daughter will be okay, but she is still pretty fucking pissed.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Her tone is just as threatening as before, but now it was more controlled. 'Shit. Time to bullshit' "I was just passing by when...yeah no I got nothing. I was trying to acquire some angelic weapons." She looks slightly relieved, but only for a second. 'Guess she's happy that this wasn't my intended target. Must have some expensive shit in here.' "Then you should've placed an order for them." By now security had surrounded me and my opportunities to escape were gradually shrinking.

"Yeah well, shit's too expensive for my taste. I'll take my leave now." I turn to walk away only for security to grab me and force me to face her again, only now being held down on my knees. "You aren't going anywhere. Throw him in one of the testing cells." For a second I consider consider making a run for it, but then a idea strikes me. 'They don't know about my mist ability. It's a long shot but if there is so much as a keyhole on the door to the cell I could escape, take what I need and leave.'

The soldiers began to take me away while Carmine, while carrying Clara, walked with Odette in the opposite direction. 'Guess that means I won't have to worry about her immediately.' After walking for some time we finally arrive at their testing cell. It's a small five foot by five foot room, three steel walls, steel ceiling, and a thick glass wall right in front of me. 'Shit.' One of the guards scans their hand and the two foot thick reinforced glass slides up before he shoves me inside and immediately closes it.

A quick look around reveals no ventilation or any possible exits. A single thick as fuck wire cable thing hangs from the ceiling. 'Well, I certainly fucked up.'

Carmine leaves her daughters at the medical wing and heads to back to the command room to oversee the testing of her latest project. As soon as she enters the room a group of scientists flock towards her walking her through how the project had been going. "So far everything appears to be operating as planned according to the simulations we ran." says a scientist while Carmine looks at a monitor displaying a rather unique looking power generator. The scientist continues, "We are ready to test run the miniature nuclear fission generator. Stand by."

Carmine observes as multiple scientists take up the positions at each of their stations. This project, if successful, would give Carmine more independence as she would be able to provide her own energy. The scientists looked at each other with both hope and nervousness. The generator had blown up with their first model, and they couldn't afford that big of a set back to happen again. After prepping everything the head of the project turns to Carmine, awaiting her command. "Begin."

At first the generator appears to stall, which causes the tension in the room to rise, before starting to run amazingly great. The scientists begin to cheer and celebrate when a alert pops up on one of the terminals. One of the scientists walks over to it before hastily shouting, "ALL HANDS ON DECK! IT'S OVERLOADING! SHUT IT DOWN!" The others begin to hastily attempt to shut it down but nothing appears to have an affect on it.

Meanwhile, in one of the testing cells Y/n begins to examine the cable hanging from the ceiling. 'Looks like it's meant to be used to draw power, but from where? This thing looks like it's meant to carry a fuck-ton of voltage.' Suddenly I hear a crackling sound and see some sparks coming from the cable. 'That's not good...'

(Third Person POV)

The command room is in chaos trying to shut down the generator before it overloads. One of the scientists have a technician plant a worm virus into the system to shut down the generator but it needed time to work. Time they didn't currently have. "IS THERE ANYWHERE WE CAN DIVERT THE EXCESS POWER TO?!!" One scientist offers, "What about the testing cells? It'll fry the cables and damage the cells, but they'll hold it for long enough." The group immediately diverts all excess energy to the cells.

In Y/ns cell, energy suddenly floods the room from the cable. The steel walls, floor, and ceiling act as conductors until it eventually reaches Y/n in the blink of an eye. "ARRGGGGHHHHHH!!!" His screams echo through the corridors but are ultimately unheard.

The virus finally kicks in, two and a half minutes after they diverted power. The room breathes a collective sigh of relief at avoiding a possible disaster. One of the scientists broke the silence, "We should have some personal inspect the cells to report the damages." Just then Carmine remembers that a specific someone was locked in one of those cells, and quickly runs out of the room in their direction.
