*Nero watches the two casually defeating his guards on the monitors.* I need to hire better minions. *He smiles.* But the experiment is going even better than planned.
*Nero smiles.* "Welcome, Amy, to my home. I am Nero." *Smile widens. He beckons.* "Come here, watch this." *Points at the weapon.* "That is unnecessary."
"Not while he was with us, no. While he was with you. That mutant. He was mine." *Sees Keith.* Welcome back, Keith. Did you miss me?"
*Looks at Amy curiously.* "That would be telling, now wouldn't it? Suffice to say, it will benefit the masses. Isn't that worth one man?"
*Nero smirks.* "You've got spirit, girl. The "disease" you're trying to "cure" is the next step in human evolution. This is immortality. He's stronger, faster, and smarter than any of my guards. You saw how easily he killed them. And he will never die. Is it wrong to want this for everyone?"
"Who says I haven't? As for my guards, they were expendable. I needed to know if the cure you gave counteracted the virus. It seems that the virus evolved and became stronger. He's the most powerful creature in existence now. I didn't attack him, I made him better. As to why him, it's because you chose him. Those moments you can't remember? My doing."
"You're one of us. A Black Skull. You have an implant to make you forget certain moments and events. But you were not a willing participant, and you fight the implant. Do you have headaches after a blackout?"
*Nero smiles.* "Why would I lie when the truth hurts much worse."
