Control... Lack thereof...

Chapter 5

Tony looked at the tablet in his hand once more, before smiling...

"Good, Make sure to keep an eye on him, He is the most dangerous of them all..."

The man standing before him nodded once before he took his leave, closing the door behind him. Tony looked at the vial of clear liquid sitting on his desk.

"So this is all they managed to get from Way? Such a shame..."

He had been planning this for so long that he lost track of when it started, but he certainly knew when it had to be picked up again and developed faster...

"To think that out of all of them, Barely Way's blood could be useful, I am surprised..."

He recalled when he first met Reveal when he first discovered the kind of chemist he was, the powers he possessed, and the way he used them for science...

Or so he thought...

hadn't been for what happened later, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Reveal in his own game, wouldn't have been able to take Babe - the seed of his army of super Alphas - and wouldn't have been able to build his empire.

But then he raised the wrong kids, and didn't realize they were growing conscious till it was too late, way too late...

The worst of them, the thorn in his side was Pete...

and the more he tried to fight Pete, the worse things got, not only because Pete was powerful, but because he could bring people to his side.

From what he had heard, those men in jail successfully took out Kenta, Dean, and Winner and were moved to another facility after that...

but that all didn't worry Tony...

What worried him was that it seemed that Way was awake from his coma and with Pete, and both of them seemed to be aware that Tony was alive and partly aware of his plans, not only that, but it seemed that Way was already a lost cause, because he sent people to his house to retrieve the evidence of Way's betrayal he had planted there, only to find it gone.

Way, who had been in a coma, that even the healing serum that Tony managed to extract from one of the kids, didn't manage to pull him out of.

He had tried to heal him, to control him and make sure that he wouldn't be swayed again, and at the same time ensure that the others didn't only think that Way was dead, but if or when they discovered he was alive they wouldn't be able to trust or believe him, but the entire thing went up in flames once Way was injected with the serum. Way's systems rejected it, almost causing him to die in the process, pausing all the healing his body had been doing, the doctors had told him that it was an after-effect of trauma, that it usually happened when a mate was lost or when the inner enigma died, so he waited, he just waited for Way to either wake up or die altogether.

meanwhile, he had been using the serum to recover from Kenta's stab and the other wounds he had sustained in the process of confronting those idiots during the auction.

Tony twirled the vial in his hands for a second...

He had instructed one of the nurses to take blood from Way while he was asleep, and that blood didn't seem to produce a lot of serum, barely anything enough to keep someone under his control, render them useless and pointless...

"This should be used with caution..."

He had tried to keep Way away from the braying eyes for as long as he could, giving him a new name and faking his identity in the hospital, in the hopes that he would be able to take full control of him.

But with Way's failure to do something as simple and healing and waking up, the security around him grew lax, and by the time he woke up when no one expected him to, no one was looking for him, no one cared enough, not even Tony, which was a big mistake now that he thought of it.
