The Droplet Curse

16

Luke looks down at Sacha's dead body, he strokes her cheek and realizes that when he needs to test something.. it needs to happen in duplo. In other words: he needs another body.

Luke looks up at the assistance, putting on a smile. "You'd do anything for me right?" He asks.

"I do everything you ask Master." the assistance replies.

"Again, It's Luke..." He looks over at the electron microscope where Sebastian is busy to examine the droplet fat. "Seb, do you have the droplets with you?" Luke smirks.

"Why... they're mine.. I don't share!" Addictional stress is read on his face, a slight bit of panic, joined with a small piece of insanity.

"Seb... I can still kill you." He says demanding the truth.

"I'm immortal." Sebastian responds, triggered. "Besides that, you said you need me." 

"I know... I could just shut down the power to Steve's hospital and... he'll be dead within 10 minutes." 

Sebastian looks up from the microscope, facing Luke. "No.. don't, you can't do that." He says, a slightly scared. Trying to decide between his lifelong obsession (since the study).. Steve or the droplets.

"Well, the clock is ticking..." Luke grins. "Tic... Toc... Tic... Toc..." Luke looks at  his watch. "Tic..." 

Sebastian groans. "Fine, but after this is done I kill you." He takes the droplets out of his pocket but not yet handing them to Luke.

"You won't." Luke smiled. "Because if I die, Steve dies." Luke says.

"What on earth has your death to do with Stevey's?" Seb asks.

Luke pulls a small remote up from beneath his clothes, which monitors his heartbeat.

"... What's that?" Sebastian asks.

"If I die... the bomb attached to the power of the generator in the hospital will go off, and everyone will die." Luke smirked.

"I don't like you." Seb says, he's getting pissed, he really wants to kill Luke in fact. "And you told me, you wanted a world without death, great, GREAT to kill everyone in a hospital cause you died yourself. That's not really going well, is it then?!" 

"If you don't help me... people will die, and my other self will take over." Luke smiled, putting the remote back where it was and stretching his hand out to Seb, who annoyed and pissed hands him the bottle. "I don't like you." He says.

"You don't have to." Luke says, taking the bottle, walking over to the assistance, smiling at her. "Drink it all." He says in a serious tone. "Don't worry, you'll be back... and tell Sacha, if you see her... your friend Luke said Hi." 

The assistance looks terrified at Luke, she doesn't move.. she just stares at him.

"Don't." Sebastian says to the assistance.

"Don't worry." Luke smiles. "You can trust me." 

"Wouldn't do that if I were you." Sebastian responds.

The assistance looks at Luke, really terrified. "Master... promise me I'll be fine." she says quietly.

"You'll be fine." Luke says, kissing her cheek.

the assistance takes the bottle from Luke and carefully brings it to her mouth, hesitating as she places it to her lips. Looking over at Sebastian to check, since he's the creator.

Sebastian shakes his head and mouths 'this will hurt.' 

"You're doing this for humanity." Luke replies smiling.

The assistance squeezes her eyes shut and drinks it.

"good." Luke says, smiling.

Sebastian backs away, trying to find a place to hide away, he doesn't like the idea of a whole bottle been drank away at ones.

Luke quickly grabbed the back of his labcoat. "Watch." He says, turning Sebastian's face to the direction of the girl. 

"I rather not stand here when she explodes. If she does..." 

"She won't explode, her skin will tear, but explode? no." Luke says. Then he turns to the assistance. "Lay down on the table next Sacha." He says.

The assistance does, shakily. She closes her eyes and waits on faith.
