Hatred Virus: A Different Ending

Internal Struggle

Stark's POV:
"Stabilize her, quickly!"

"Doctor, we're losing her!" I was watching from the observation room what the surgeons were doing. Angel had a bullet on her left side of her head, she wasn't breathing. She was going through cardiac arrest, the doctors tried to keep her stable.

"There, she's stable. You may begin the surgery, doctor." One of our best surgeons was Doctor Yin Zendong. She had experience dealing with these kinds of surgeries for a few years now.

"Alright, now, we can't wait much longer. I'm doing it manually." 

"Go for it," I said. I trusted her with the procedure. All of our faith rested on her hands. I left the observation room, I was uncomfortable with what was going on. When I walked out, Cap was waiting.

"How's it going in there?"

"Doctor Zendong started the surgery. Should be over soon."

"I see, still don't understand how this happened. How did someone manage to shot her?"

"I don't know, Cap, I don't know." I don't like it when I know things, I need to know who did it, we all do, "Cap? Do you think RoPo may know by any chance?"

"Perhaps, come one, let's ask him. Couldn't hurt to try." Cap and I walked to the cells. When we got there, Cap immediately ran over to RoPo's cell. I soon noticed the hazel.

"RoPo?!" We noticed RoPo on the ground, it wasn't a good sign, "RoPo?! Come one, wake up!" Eventually, he did, barely. We were both relieved.

"Oh, thank God you're awake."

"Huh, Stark, Cap? What happened?"

"You tell us, we were only coming to ask you something, the next, Cap saw you on the ground."

"Oh man, I kinda only remember blacking out after seeing someone. I don't remember who it was, but I'll be sure to tell you if I remember. Now, what's this about asking me something."

"Well son, Stark and I were wondering if you knew who shot Angel? By any chance, do you know anything?" RoPo all of the sudden froze up, for a second I thought he was just scared but then,

"You shot her, right?" I knew right away what he was thinking, "What were you thinking?!" RoPo then started to cry.

"Stark! Let him explain!"

"I didn't mean it! I didn't, it was him! He shot her and I couldn't stop him! I tried and tried but I couldn't! It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault!" I never saw this side of RoPo before, he finally broke.

"It's ok, calm down. Stark didn't mean what he said, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, but couldn't Angel just pull up a force field and stop the bullet?"

"She wanted me to shoot her..." Cap and I were shock. Why did she want to get shot? "She wanted to get shoot maybe because she didn't want to deal with her problems anymore. That's why she ran away, that's why she didn't interact with any of us. That's why, Stark."

"How did you know what I was thinking? Do you have a new superpower?"

"This began last night, Stark. RoPo read my mind as well. I'm still confused as to how. I know for a fact that the .EXE virus doesn't grant the person telepathy."

"Ugh, I'll deal with it when RoPo feels better. Now I better run, see ya." I was going to get to the bottom of this whole telepathy thing, I'm going to.

RoPo's POV:
When Stark left, I felt a little relieved. I thought it be best if we didn't talk with one another for a while. I look at Cap and he was worried for me. I finally let loose after this time.

"Cap? I remind you of someone, right?"

"Honestly, I haven't experience the same action as when Angel snapped a few years ago."

"Wait? You knew Angel all this time?!"

"Yes, all her siblings, including her parents. Look, nine years ago, Dr. Johnson asked Stark and I to look after the siblings until he came back."

"Where did he go?"

"Well, Alleyway to open his lab. Anyway, we took care of the siblings for five years. We trained them, took care of them and gave them a home. What we didn't know was that all three had a mentally problem. When I contacted Dr. Johnson about it, he said it's because all three saw their mother die."

"Bro!"

"I know, we took extra care and made sure they didn't do anything to themselves. Ashlyn and Alex were well behaved and dealt with their illness much quicker than Angel. She was more of a challenge. Always quiet, never confronted us about anything. One night, she screamed. She yelled in pain, she cried and she was shaking like hell. I didn't know what to do, Stark then hooked Angel up to a machine to read her mind. Turns out, she was battling a certain darkness. She wouldn't stop crying for days."

"Man, I'm a lot like her."

"Not necessarily, you're more open to your problems. I believe you are capable of fighting your inter struggles easily." What Cap said to me, make me feel more comfortable with myself.

"If I'm so open, then I'll tell you what caused my break. I only just remembered, but I saw Antivort. She was talking with me, I felt like she was giving my brain bad thoughts and memories that I snapped."

"Didn't think about that."

"But now I know that I ain't alone."

"Alright then, come. It's late and I feel like you're hungry."

"Yes." Cap and I left my cell and walked to the kitchen. As we walked to it, I noticed something down a hall. I walked over to it, Cap did as well.

"Well, I didn't expect to see you both here."

"What the hell are you doing here," said Cap while he pulled out his shield.

"Now, now. We don't want to alarm anyone else, now do we? Especially considering that I'm not here to begin with."

"The frick?! You're clearly there!"

"Don't jump to conclusions, little one. I can summon myself here, but I will not just yet. I am concerned about something, however."

"What could you possibly be considered about?"

"RoPo? Did you tell this man about our little conversation?" This person was getting creepy! I didn't know what to do!

"He did tell me about that, why?"

"Heh, no reason. I was only curious about the outcome." Cap then began to retreat, I did too. Then, a black tentacle came around my neck and pulled me to Antivort. She then grabbed me by the neck too.

"You listen carefully, if you ever say anything else about me, you'll be sorry. Don't forget." Antivort and the tentacle were compressing on my neck so hard that I felt a snap. I coughed out blood.

"Let him go, you monster!" Antivort had her signature look on her when she looked at Cap. She eventually let go of me, I couldn't move my neck.

"You have been warned, all of you." She then disappeared. First shot on my neck, then a neck crack?! My life wasn't giving me any mercy. I don't know what to do now...
