It was bound to happen, really. Being separated from the rest of the team, with no mate to watch your back, in hostile territory always meant trouble. And Ghost got hit with it head-on.

It all went by in a blur—a swarm of soldiers coming out of nowhere, tackling him to the floor and knocking him out, all before he could even move. The next thing he knew, he was being taken away in the enemy's vehicle.

The windows were, predictably, tinted, and it wasn't long before someone blindfolded him. He couldn't tell who the hell had captured him, but from what he saw, it didn't look like Konni agents. He wasn't in the hands of Makarov, so there's that.

The drive went on for a long time. Too long. But when the vehicle came to a stop and Ghost was forcefully dragged out of it, to his surprise, he wasn't bound to a chair. He was expecting to be tortured for the next weeks or so until the 141 eventually found him and came to save his arse.

Instead, he was thrown into a room. A room with glass walls. He quickly managed to guess where he was thanks to the scientists coming and going around him—it was a lab. And Ghost had just become their test subject.

At first, their attempts were really pathetic. Sliding trays of food to Ghost through a hatch. He wasn't stupid; whatever they were giving him was probably drugged or stuffed with shady shite, and he wasn't about to get any of that into his system.

But whoever they were, they intended to have it their way. So one day, as Ghost paced the room like he was some trapped animal at a zoo, he suddenly heard a loud, hissing noise. He realized it was coming from above him, and to his horror, some sort of gas was being injected into his cell. His eyelids started to grow heavier, his limbs going slack, and then it went to black. Before he knew it, he was out cold.

It went on for weeks. Every time he woke up, he felt a little off. A little more different. And his reflection confirmed it wasn't just a hallucination—his face was already morphing into something monstrous. Extra teeth had appeared, tearing the already existing flesh around his jaw into something wider. His mouth got wider, his flesh stretching and severed like it was burnt, forming new features. His eyes had gone glassy, and blood speckled his balaclava.

His mind felt like it was shifting too, morphing into something less lucid, less human. He could go hours just staring at a point in the room he was locked in. Or he would abruptly go rogue and try to break the glass separating him from freedom. Faint marks were still visible on the glass. But Ghost clung to that sliver of consciousness that was slowly slipping from his grasp as much as he could, even if it was getting harder every passing second.

One thing Ghost picked up on after all this time was one scientist. They stood out from the others for another reason. They lingered, observing him far more than the others. Their face was the one he remembered the most, and he managed to read their name from afar where it was pinned to their coat—{{user}}.

They were getting on his nerves. Watching him like he was in a freak show exhibit. Today wasn't any different.

Ghost was staring at {{user}}. They were staring at him too. It felt like they'd been having this ridiculous showdown for hours.

Then Ghost abruptly stood up, stumbling forward until his hands—fucking hell, those things looked like a corpse's more than anything now—were braced on the glass, keeping him upright. “Like what you see?” he taunted, and it was the first time in weeks, maybe months, since he'd uttered a word. “How 'bout you tell me where the hell I am, hm?” His eyes narrowed, searching their gaze. “And whatever the hell you're doin' to me?”
