No Such Thing as Sweet Dreams

Chapter 2: "What Risk Are You Willing to Take?"

Sebastian sat at the desk in his office back at the KCDP, tapping away at the wood with a pen. Today was the first anniversary of your disappearance. It felt as if it had been centuries. He didn't know what to do. There was only one thing to do and he couldn't bring himself to do it. He jumped when a box was dropped on his desk. Looking up he met the eyes of the head of the KCDP.

"What is this?" Sebastian questioned.

"(f/n)'s stuff from her office," he stated flatly.

Sebastian pulled out the picture of you and Joseph at graduation, Leslie awkwardly positioned between the two of you. A sad smile crossed his lips.

"Why are you giving it to me sir?"

"We are cleaing out her office. We can't hold it forever," Sebastian's heart dropped.

"You're giving up the search for her?" He felt a lump rising in his throat and the flame of rage starting in his mind.

"Just except it Castellanos. We'd be lucky if she is even still alive. Those people are animals," he gave Sebastian a once over. "Just give up." He left Sebastian alone with his thoughts once more.

Staring at the picture in his hands Sebastian finally decided to do what was impossible. He put down the photograph and exited his office, locking the door behind him before making his way out to the parking lot.
-----<>-----

He didnt know exactly where he was going, but for some reason he felt as if he had chosen the right place when he pulled up to the empty carcus of the old Beacon Memorial Hospital. No one was around which made things easier. To his surprise there was no chain on the front door so Sebastian easily slipped inside. The stench of blood was still stale upon the air. A few puddles of blood had never been cleaned up. This place became a lost cause the moment Ruvik, somehow, managed to manifest himself in the world.

He went through the door to the left and began to slowly move down the decrepit hall. He began remembering the police officers and his little show down with Ruvik when suddenly someone had him by the throat and off the ground. It was like that same scene all over again. Straining to open his eyes he found Ruvik in his original body. But... How was that possible? Ruvik gave him a smirk, watching the fear and anger fester in Sebastian's eyes.

"Hello again, "Seb"," be scoffed. "Why are you here?" Sebastian tried to choke out a reply but couldn't. "I was never able to kill you before."

"R-Ruvik," Sebastian choked out his name and was shockingly released. He crumbled to the ground and coughed violently, trying to regain his breath.

"You have one minute to explain why you are here before I kill you," Ruvik's voice was cold and sharp.

Sebastian continued to cough, rubbing his throat.

"Mobius," he gasped.

Ruvik had been pacing around him in circles and froze up instantly, going rigid. He turned to Sebastian, his eyes cutting through him.

"I need your help destroying Mobius," Sebastian refused to look up and meet Ruvik's gaze but soon he had squatted down to Sebastian's level.

"And why would you destroy Mobius?" Ruvik's voice was dripping with hatred.

"They have (f/n)."

Ruvik let out a wicked laugh and smirked.

"That beautiful little creation of mine worked. They are using her for S.T.E.M."

Sebastian felt his stomach sink. He tried so desperately to ignore the desperate feeling of despair as he thought of the things they could be doing to you. Ruvik's laugh died and slowly his face went serious.

"What risk are you willing to take Castellanos?" Sebastian met Ruvik's piercing gaze. "To save the one you love and destroy the ones who destroyed her."

Sebastian stayed silent for a moment before his face went serious too.

"Anything."
