[TW - v abuse]

—-

Unlatching the basement door, Cyn dragged V into the small room, her falling with a thump onto the floor. The error was still displayed on her face until...

<power on>

"Hello, V," Cyn spoke, her robotic voice ringing in V's ears.

V looked around the room, numbers covering the walls organized in equations as flesh-like bacteria covered bits of them. The room was cramped, it being hot and muggy as glass and tools were sprawled out over the floor.

V gasped, a look of horror in her eyes, now realizing we're she was.

"Today, I will be testing your abilities. I already know what you can do with your solver. I've been watching carefully,"

V started to cry, knowing what this was. She couldn't help herself but put her hands to her face as she sniffed.

"Now... don't cry" Cyn's voice quivered. "I just want to see what your capable of for N,"

"For... N?" V winced, looking at her with a glare, scarceness in her eyes.

Cyn pointed at a worker at the end of the room. It was tied to a chair next to moving carts with small utensils on it that V didn't recognize. It looked as if it was scared, still in shock from whatever happened to it. It didn't move nor talk, though it was shaking.

"wha.. Cyn who is.." She stuttered, her eyes getting wider.

"Don't worry about him... you'll have much practice when it comes time for everyone else,"

"Everyone... else..?"

"You, J, and your favorite, N"

"That's not his name..." She warned Cyn.

"Oh yes... my apologies, 'Nathaniel or Nate for short' such a foolish drone, so desperate to bring you back for 'love'. how pathetic "

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!" V snapped, able to move now since she Cyn had given her access, walking towards Cyn defensively.

An eldritch claw grabbed V as Cyn looked at her with blank eyes.

V yelped as the claw got tighter around her arms and torso, gasping for breath.

"I wouldn't talk like that if I were you..." Cyn warned back, stepping closer to her.

"N only helps my plan work better. He's better off being stupid. It only helps us succeed V," Cyn spoke, her words manipulative and condescending.

"p-plan..?" V stutters, not able to breath fully.

"V, you already know this, don't be dumb,"

V's head flooded with visions from the solver. People's screams echoed throughout her ears. Oil and blood being spilled was seen in graphic detail as the Earth was swallowed by a black hole. She was in the center of it all, holding a rusty tool before V shifted suddenly back into reality, her heart beating fast, her head pounding, and her breathing uneasy. She felt as if she would throw up.

She cried, tears falling electronically as she whimpered.

"Now... I must guide you. I've been working on a little something..."

She unveiled a curtain, showcasing something that would forever scar V.

It was her.

Her body, in a new way.

Pegs for legs with cones for hands. A slim body with an acid-like tail out from its bottom. Angelic wings were on the walls, soon to be attached to the new body as little circles were just visible on top the hair.

"what..?" V winced.

"It's based off the solver though I made it... better," Cyn announced it like a class presentation as V shook, the grip loosened up on the claw though still keeping her in place.

"what- who is that...?"

"You."

"Soon to be, I upgraded you. It will also be J and soon," She trailed off, going to another sheet on the wall.

"N,"

She unveiled a male version of the murder machine, all the same though a flatter chest and boot-like feet.

"please cyn no.." V begged, her eyes not able to produce more tears.

"V don't forget, I run you. You are my program. My creation. Never forget that." Cyn spoke.

"I'm your admin,"

V cried silently before Cyn trailed off to finally get to the point of why they were not there.

"Now.. you need to help me delete this drone's OS's. This one's just for practice, don't worry..." Cyn spoke, letting V go from the claw and helping her over to a small chair with a helpless drone strapped to it.

"But- this is a real drone-" V was interrupted.

"I'm well aware," Cyn replied.

"Do your job, V,"

She looked at the drone as Cyn handed her a few tools she didn't quite know how to use.

"V's your name r-right? L-listen I'm sorry if we never got along in the past- b-but please... I don't wanna die yet.." The drone trembled, making V start to cry again.

"Don't be silly, you won't die- more like you'll lose your memories and control of your body," Cyn said, making the drone cry harder than it already was.

A shiver was sent down V's spine as Cyn nudged her.

"V.." She spoke in an intimidating voice, glaring at her and then to the drone.

"p-please don't do it I'll do anything..." It cried, sniffing and shaking in fear.

"I- I cant-" 

Cyn grabbed the back of V's hair, pulling her head up and forcing her to look up at the ceiling. She brought V to her closer before whispering something.

"do it... or this all happens to N,"

V cried, tears trickling down her digital cheeks as she hissed through her teeth.

Cyn flung V back down to look at the drone.

V hesitated, before properly holding the utensils Cyn had given her.

"No... NO NO NO NO NO!!! V PLEASE DON'T DO THIS-" The drone cried with every mechanical object in it's body before...

It was gone. V had stabbed him in it's visor. 

She looked at it, trembling.

Her eyes burned, her hands shook, her mind rushed.

She felt as if she was overheating, stress compressing her mentally, feeling as if she was suffocating.

"Good job, V," Cyn spoke, looking at V with a smile.

V could get words out of her mouth.

"A couple more times and you'll be an expert!"

V dropped the utensils on the floor, still in shock, looking at the poor drone she had disassembled.

Cyn grabbed V by her upper uniform, pulling her closer, V snapping into reality quickly.

"You're not going to tell anyone about this," 

V nodded, tears welding in her visor before-

<power off>
