Three knocks were heard by us, Jett trying to aware Afflon he was done tying up Wanda. "Open 2" Afflon said while the Steele door opened as we watched Jett walk out with a one sided smirk. The door automatically closed sensing Jett in Pietro's room with us now.

Jett and Gunter made their way out the room when Afflon vocalised "Open 1" leaving Afflon and I behind alone with an unconscious Pietro. I witnessed his face change right as they left the room, the door never closed as it sensed me.

His sweet smile vanishing to a growling snarl, his innocent cloudy eyes transitioning into dark and mysterious ones. "What the hell do you think that attitude was." He spat, his hand raised high when I suddenly felt a stinging sensation burn through my left cheek. Remembering the conversation we had days back.

"Sorry Felix." I tried to say through the pain that roamed around my cheeks.

"Now that flower, that's the name I like to hear." He snarled like an angry dog when his hand reached for my neck, wrapping his fingers around them as he put pressure on my wind pipe. I parted my lips to gasp for air when he said "Do you want me to make them wipe your brain again flower? Do you want to be belted again?"

"No F-Felix please."

"Know your place filthy scumbag" His hand put pressure on my body making me stumble back, he watched me drop hard on the cold surface, making his way out contented to see me struggling.

"Why don't you ask him those burning questions inside you, those questions you've wanted answers to ever since you were little."

Pietro? He couldn't be awake so soon. I scrambled my way to him finding my balance to be let down again. He was asleep to my surprise, it sounded vaguely like him.

I made my way out of his room, the door closing right as my foot stepped out, I walked through the pleasant corridor reaching the viewing room that was less than five steps away.

As I entered my eyes met with Gunter's brown ones. "Mr.Afflon said that you needed to attend your monthly check up on -5."

"Okay, inform me when any one of them is awake." I started to make my way back to the elevator when Gunter's voice stopped me one last time.

"We saw what happened are you fine?"

"Listen newbie you don't have to feel sorry for me. This is a zero compared to the shit show that goes down in this place. Feelings are a weakness, don't develop them." Was all I said leaving the the two men at the viewing room.

"How can you even talk about not developing feelings when you have no idea about how it even happens."

Did Afflon just send a message saying that to all of ARAE? No he couldn't have.

My thoughts were brought to a halt when I reached the last underground level. Level -5 this was where most of the experiments on patients took place, my monthly check up and dosage of liquids took place here.

I saw a pair of awaiting jet black eyes "Welcome back Agent 49." The Korean woman smiled.

*Felix Afflon's POV*

I was just planning to sleep when my phone rang. I guess I'll take one last call before drifting off into my deep slumber.

"Yes what is it-" I groggily spoke into the speakers of my phone to be cut of by an impatient lady.

"Felix I have very bad news down in -5."

"Wh-what is it." I got alerted as my body shot up not slouching on my rotating chair anymore.

"49's starting to show changes in her brain development, also her neurotransmitters are starting to show a change in rhythm."

"Speak English for god sake, what are neurotransmitters?"

"They're the chemicals that carry messages between the brain cell Felix this bad very bad oh god no-"

"Helen calm down!" I tried to get the geneticist to ease down so her words could be more audible.

"That's not all Felix, I could've fixed that in one instant but I messed up so-so bad." She panted heavily into the phone, distress clouding her words like a thick fog in November.

"What have you done." I asked in anticipation.

"I thought I could make it alright so I took out my suitcase and-and."

"Spit it out!"

"I switched them Felix, I gave Tony the syringe that was meant for 49." She screamed.

What have you done to my little flower Helen Cho, she's on the road to becoming a beast now and all because of you.

All you had was one simple job that would've shape the century and bring ARAE into the spotlight but you just had to fuck that up.
