He was all but silent as he entered the room, the door shutting quietly behind him. The room was divided into two halves, one larger than the other. The smaller half was behind a reinforced glass wall. He looked into that half. It was full of machinery, test tubes, and delicate equipment. There was also a man inside.
Grey drifted across the room without a sound, his hands hooked neatly behind his back. His father was far too absorbed in testing his biochemical weapon on the mouse in a small glass box to even notice him. He reached the temperature controls for the half-room, face expressionless as he reached out and cranked them up. Still Phenex didn't notice him. No, the man was watching the mouse writhe and squeak, jotting things down on a clipboard with a certain satisfaction at the results.
Grey crossed the room again, humming lightly under his breath. This time he moved to the reinforced glass door to the half-room. Beside it was a red emergency button. He'd already disabled the alarm earlier. Of course. He clucked his tongue a bit and reached out, pressing it. Immediately there was the sound of metal bolts thunking home inside the door, as well as the hiss of an extra vacuum seal.
This got Phenex's attention. The man jolted and looked up, eyes narrowing when he spotted Grey. "...What are you... doing?" The realization on his face was wonderful. He could feel the temperature rising now. Something glass in the room shattered and Phenex flinched, losing that ever present calm, coldness about him as his eyes widened. It was very satisfying.
The man flew to the window as more glass shattered in the room, a pea green fog of gas rising from the broken shards. He pressed a hand against the glass and Grey moved closer, smiling. "Don't do this! Please... Alastor, d-don't do this. You can have whatever you want. Anything!" His voice was frantic but muffled by the glass.
Grey drew back as if the man had hit him, his expression nothing short of stunned. After all these years? ...After all this time? Haha... hahaha. The nerve. He smiled slowly. "...It's a little late for that, don't you think, Phenex...?" The man looked like he was about to say something but his eyes grew wider and he drew back away from the window, coughing and hacking. It wasn't long before he was coughing up blood. It wasn't long before that blood was chunky and coagulated. It wasn't long before his flesh was swelling, cells saturating. His skin took on a sick, greenish hue, and he screamed, collapsing to the floor and writhing in agony.
Grey moved forward and pressed a hand neatly to the exact place his father's had been only moments before. He watched with a quiet smile as his father's skin blackened and split open, as the man decomposed alive. He watched until there was no longer any movement, no longer any strangled screams, Phenex's eyes staring straight ahead and bulging from their sockets.
Finally, he drew his hand away from the window, turning and leaving. The B wing was finally his. He shut the door quietly behind him. Click. |
