The Glitch

         "___... ___." Someone pokes your side making you blink back and look over. "We're ready to begin the extraction." The man informs you. Exhaling a puff of smoke, you put out your cigarette, you follow the scientist back into the lab, looking through the protective glass at the strapped super.

"Extraction test number 22, subject named Perona, Super name; The Ghost. Commence test in 5, 4, 3...." You nod to the extraction team who inject the pink haired woman with two pairs of needles. "One." You breathe before the blood transfusion begins. The woman cries out in pain as all the subjects before her did, and still, it churned your stomach.

"Vitals are failing." One of the scientists speak up. You frown, watching the screens start to go red as the test begins to fail and the super's screams swiftly fade.

"Subject is dead..." Another whispers. You close your eyes with a frown.

"Doctor Caesar... You said the chances of that happening was under twenty percent." You turn to him with a cold look.

"Sh-She was a weak subject! It'll work with the next one!" He gasps. You shift and place a hand on one of the monitors, causing all the screens to fall into static.

"No. I told you another failure and I will demote you." You state. "Reese, you're now in charge. I want a full report on how you plan to fix this problem. Until you can guarantee absolute success, no more tests." You point at another scientist before going out.

"Y-You cant demote me! It was my idea!" Caesar hastily follows you out.

"I just did. If you have a problem with it, then you're free to leave." You deadpan not even looking at him as you head toward one of the elevators.

"You brat! Have you forgotten that I was your teacher!?" He growls.

"All students surpass their teachers." You recall before stepping in the elevator and turning to face him. "Not that I had to do much to surpass you that is." You add before the doors close and you're sent to the ground floor.

You step off with a heavy sigh, rubbing your cheek as you calculate what went wrong this time. "Ms.___." Another voice makes you look up as Lucci comes up.

"Lucci, did something come up?" You ask him.

"The Gate Guards think that the wall has been compromised." He informs you. Yeah, apparently you've always been speaking with him and not Hattori. Hey, no one said you were a genius on all fronts, and in away Hattori speaking made more sense to you than it being a constant ventriloquism act.

"Reports?" You prompt, holding out your hands for them. He hands you the file and you scan over them. "Seems like RedDemon has acquired two more friends to help him knock on the wall... Since when do Super's want to come onto this is side...." You mutter. "Alright, send word to the guards there, boost the forcefield power by twenty percent, and I want extra guards at the gate. My shock fence isn't ready to take out those troublesome flies yet." You hand the file back to him.

"Very well, how was today's test?" He asks.

"... Expect Caesar to make a scene today. I'm going now, good luck." You murmur and go past. Lucci watches you go and frowns lightly.

"Kaku, make sure our head of research and security doesn't go to jail again." He sighs.

"On it." The man breathes before following after you.

You sit at the bar, giving the bartender a nod before looking down at the counter in silence. You picked a lively place as usual, rowdy norms conversing loudly all around.
