The man known as Sinclair was a twisted individual, a scientist with the knowledge and capabilities to change the world, but instead, he chose to kidnap young, strong individuals and turn them into monsters against their will. Doug was the result of his twisted ambition.
But what was truly terrifying wasn't the result, but the process. Like with any new technology, dicine, and discovery, Sinclair relied on trial and error. So, before Doug, many failures ended with the loss of his victims' lives. Though looking at the outco, perhaps that was a better fate.
Makima – Humans never cease to surprise with what they are capable of... heh, I'm supposed to be the demon.
Rebecca – Tsk... this reminds of the beginning of my world. Over ti, people realize that having an arm capable of carrying half a ton is better than a normal one, and it all starts there. Before they know it, they begin to forget about flesh in a sort of collective hysteria.
Albedo – Oh, I'm surprised you can criticize this when you have a form that's 99% tal, gremlin.
Rebecca – Shut up, big-breasted bitch! I only did that when I beca a doll!... and for your information, it's not that I like chro; it's just sothing you need to survive in my world...
[I.M] "The difference is that in Cyberpunk, they always tried to preserve people's personalities, even Adam Smasher, being almost entirely a machine, never gave up his ego."
Rebecca – ...
[I.M] "Sorry, Rebecca... that was a taboo subject."
Rebecca – Don't worry sweetie, life in that world is like that... but even if I understand, I hope the day cos when I go back to Night City to kill him... no, that would be too little, I want to turn him into a condom vending machine and leave him that way for a thousand years!
*Cough*
[I.M] "Of course, Becca... back to the topic, Sinclair is even crueler; he rips out a piece of the Reanin's brain to ensure they obey and have no emotions."
...
"Allen"
Eve landed next to Allen and placed her hand on his shoulder. He nodded and then turned to Mark, who had a complicated look on his face as he looked at Doug's condition.
Doug Cheston had been a bully and an idiot. They didn't get along and probably never would, but that didn't an Mark wished such an end on the guy.
"Invincible..."
Mark turned to look at Allen when he was called, "What?"
"Would you like to bring justice to your friend?"
"He wasn't my friend, but I'm a superhero."
Allen smiled and guided Mark and Eve, both wondering why they weren't flying, but they didn't have to go too far.
"Mark, to be honest, this mission, only you can do it," Allen spoke in a serious tone, his eyes grim.
"What do you an?" Mark got nervous, what had he just said? Aren't you strong enough to do it?
"You're the superhero, right? You're Invincible, right? The person we're looking for is nad D.A. Sinclair."
"That crazy professor?!" Eve exclaid.
"But I just saw him, how is that possible?!" Mark gasped.
"DA Sinclair is a genius who is at this place, Upstate University, thanks to a special program that was granted to him. He believes that any weakness a human has is an obstacle that must be solved through engineering," Allen narrowed his eyes. "The GDA database classifies him as an eccentric genius, but it seems they underestimated him and how crazy he really was."
Mark couldn't believe what he was hearing and got angry, "How could they let this happen if they knew about him?!"
Allen smiled mockingly, "Fool, you can't catch soone for being eccentric or having strange ideas, there are a lot of people who wish to see the world burn, but they only say it with their mouths. Almost no one wants to be a true criminal."
Eve sighed and took Allen's arm, "Where is this Sinclair guy, and why can only Mark stop him? I'm strong too~" After finishing her sentence, she pouted a little.
Allen smiled, and using his telekinesis, he lifted a manhole cover. Eve seed to realize sothing and turned pale.
"Eve... didn't you want to go defeat the villain?"
"No!" Eve scratched her cheek and looked at Mark, "Right now, we should let Invincible shine."
Allen walked up to Mark and put his hand on his shoulder, "Do you trust , Mark?"
"No, I don't!"
"We're practically friends"
"I don't even like you!"
"You heard my girl," Allen threw Mark into the sewer without any rcy.
"NO! WAIT! WALKER! DON'T! AHHH!"
Mark scread as he fell, forgetting for a mont that he could fly, and when he fell into the dirty water, the sll hit him.
"AH! DAMN IT! IT WENT IN MY MOUTH!"
Allen and Eve silently looked at the hole where the screams ca from.
"He is definitely the chosen one, this mission is impossible for ..." Allen muttered.
Eve held back her laughter, then looked at Allen with fake resentnt, "You're evil."
"You're no better, besides, he wanted to do it."
...
(The world will end if Allen stops being a son of a bitch with the boys and a womanizer with the ladies. 🍷🗿)
...
Hulk – HAHAHA THE YELLOW KID WITH FLY EYES FELL INTO THE SHIT!
Tony – Does being your friend imply a chance that you'll throw into a manhole?
Thor – I don't see anything wrong, once I put troll snot in Loki's glass, hahaha, the good old tis!~
Kara – n's friendship is dangerous...
Raven – I'm not surprised Allen didn't want to chase Sinclair himself...
...
While Mark struggled with the manhole, Timcampy, a little sleepy, ca out of Allen's pocket. Allen made a gesture, and the golden-winged golem nodded before entering the sewers.
Allen led Eve under the shade of a tree. He pulled out everything from his inventory to set up a picnic, which made Eve laugh. The campus was empty because everyone had run from the Reanin, but instead of evacuating, they shalessly had a picnic date.
Allen set up a basket with sandwiches and took out a bottle of wine with two glasses. Eve laughed and sat on the blanket on the ground, and Allen poured a glass of wine and handed it to her.
"It's a surprise that it's legal to drink at eighteen in this world..." Allen smiled with a hint of nostalgia and sorrow for his past actions.
"Yep, Hmm? Isn't that the case in your world?" Eve blinked curiously. One of the benefits of being of legal age was the ability to drink, and she was already there.
In the United States, unlike other countries, the legal drinking age is twenty-one, which differs from the age of adulthood. But in Invincible, you can see Rex Splode mainly drinking beer in so episodes, indicating that it's legal in this world.
"Eh... it was," Allen said awkwardly about that.
Eve received a ssage from Gwen, and when she read it, she started laughing hysterically.
...
Gwen – It was legal, but an eighteen-year-old boy decided it was a good idea to have a fistfight with a bear.
MJ – and fly into space in an old sedan~
Diana – and be at a massive party, haha
Felicia – and drink weird stuff in the desert, haha~
Natasha – Because of that, the law was modified to prohibit young people from drinking alcohol until they turned twenty-one...
Rogue – Creating a law just because of your actions must be sothing incredible, hahaha.
Annie – So that's why Allen doesn't drink anymore, hahaha.
Yoruichi – Hahaha, did sothing this funny really happen? Why didn't anyone tell ?! I need to see that fight!
...
After laughing for a while, Eve looked at Allen while lying on the blanket. Her eyes were a mix of affection and laziness, wishing Allen would hug and pamper her. Of course, Allen didn't deny her this, he made everything float and pulled Eve closer to rest her head on his lap.
"Isn't this a bit shaless?" Eve smiled, curling up without being too concerned about anything.
"Don't worry, I'll support Mark from here."
"...?" At that mont, Eve's eyes opened wide, realizing she had forgotten about Mark.
A screen appeared in front of Allen, showing Timcampy's perspective. Mark was leaning against the wall, trying not to vomit after drinking the dirty water earlier.
– "You must keep going." –
"Huh? Walker?!"
Upon hearing Allen's voice, Mark searched for him, but all he could see was the golden ball with wings.
– "You're not hallucinating. This little guy is Timcampy, he's a golem that can transmit sound and images... I'll support you from here."
"Bastard, you knew this would happen, that's why you sent , right?!" –
– "It slls horrible, and it's dirty, that's why I sent you. But I didn't expect you to forget how to fly and fall into that disgusting water..." –
Mark clenched his teeth and decided not to argue with Allen anymore. He slowly began to move forward.
"Where should I go?" Mark asked Allen.
– "Who knows." –
"Didn't you say you'd help ?"
– "Just keep walking. Eventually, you'll find that guy. Using logic, he wanted strong young people to turn them into that, so he must have been kidnapping several problem kids like Doug until he achieved what he wanted... his lab or mad scientist workshop should be sowhere on campus, without leaving."
Mark frowned. If that was true, Doug was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were many more victims of Sinclair. He stopped worrying about the filth and the stench of human waste, gritted his teeth, and started searching for Sinclair with great determination.
[Allen, you have at least ten ways of knowing Sinclair's location. Shouldn't you tell him where it is?]
'Nah, just look at his face, all determined. I won't take away his fun...'
Originally, Mark didn't take long to find Sinclair, but the butterfly effect is terrifying. Mark started wandering aimlessly through the sewers.
He reached a dead end...
"Again?!"
He fell into the dirty water again...
"Ahh! Ahhh!!"
He ended up finding a crocodile...
"WHY?!"
Allen watched this along with Eve and his Chat. People couldn't believe what was happening; it seed like the world was conspiring to make Mark suffer.
"This is pathetic..." Allen shook his head and spoke through Timcampy, – "Hey, why don't I guide you and avoid showing how you roll in the shit again?" –
Mark clenched his fists, wanting to just start breaking all the walls when Allen interrupted him. He still didn't like Allen, but if he was helping, he would be grateful.
"Fine, I'll listen to you, Walker."
– "That's the spirit~ Now, let download the map of Upstate University's sewer system, and let's see where there might be a large open space for his lab..." –
Mark shivered, turning pale as his legs weakened.
"Hey, why didn't you do that from the beginning?"
"Hm?" Allen was distracted, checking the map on his phone, and casually replied, "I was having a picnic with Eve, plus, you seed to enjoy swimming in the shit water since you subrged yourself about four tis, so I didn't want to ruin your fun."
Mark started sweating, his eyes bloodshot with anger. He had been suffering for half an hour while Allen flirted with Eve.
"Okay, go to the right, then straight ahead, then left, right, and keep going to the end, there's a place that might be quite large."
After replying, Allen paid no more attention to Mark and went back to flirting with Eve.
...
Ruby – I've never seen soone change colors so quickly...
Nikky – Haha, purple, blue, pale, and red, this Invincible guy is so much fun!
Rick – I love it! You keep the girl and send the protagonist to swim in shit! Hahahaha!
...
Sinclair knew Mark was looking for him, but decided not to escape when he saw through his drone that Allen wasn't coming.
"Your body will be the perfect material to create the ultimate ReAnin!" Sinclair walked towards another ReAnin and placed his hand on its chest. "Humanity is terribly weak, it's absurd that we have to rely on a few aliens to protect us... I'll change that. I'll make humanity abandon weakness!"
"SINCLAIR!"
Mark broke through a wall, appearing as his veins bulged with anger.
On the screen, Sinclair's appearance appeared. He was a slender young man of dium height with pale skin. His long black hair reached his neck, styled backward, with a noticeable widow's peak. He had gray-blue eyes, a hooked nose, and a sharp chin. He wore a grayish lavender business suit with a lavender tie, pants, and lace-up shoes. He had a white shirt under the jacket.
"Invincible... I didn't expect to see you here..." Sinclair covered his nose, "You stink."
Mark was about to reply, but Allen's voice interrupted him first.
– "You have no right to criticize his taste; If Invincible wants to swim in shit, that's his freedom." –
Sinclair's eyes widened when he heard Allen coming from that little golden creature, and then he smiled.
"Mr. Walker, you're right. I don't have that right. Invincible is free to swim in shit and waste if he wants."
– "Good for you, Mark, you found soone who understands you." –
"SHUT UP!!"
Mark reached his limit and got furious, but soon realized his mistake when he had forgotten about the ReAnin's existence. One of them jumped out from the shadows and hit him, the other ca from behind to hold him down while the other beat him up.
– "Invincible, do you need help?" –
"No, I can handle them!"
At this point, Mark was just being stubborn. After all he had sacrificed to get here, he wouldn't let them steal it from him.
– "Ehh... ok ..." – Allen stayed silent while Invincible was tossed around by the ReAnin. They were strong enough to hurt him, but not too much, so the beating Mark was taking, instead of being brutal, was almost comical.
"Ahhh!"
In a fit of rage, Mark hit one, breaking its chanical arm, but it no longer felt pain, so it kept attacking.
"Who do you think will win?"
...
Starfire – The ReAnin hehe~
Kimiko – I think Invincible will win.
Rick – The kid is strong but barely knows how to fight. I'm going with the power of science.
Hulk – HULK BETS ON THE FLYBOY!
Thor – I'm betting on the kid with fly eyes too!
Tony – I think I'm backing the ReAnin. Just by looking at their strength, they should have twenty tons of strength. They're an abomination, but a very strong one.
Angelica (Gilgash) – I always support warriors in tough tis, so I'm with Invincible.
Yoruichi – Haha, I'm going with the kid. He's the protagonist after all.
MJ – Originally, he didn't win without the help of his friend William, who helped one of them regain consciousness. But in this case, there are only two, not three... I'm not sure...
Allen laughed, he had asked casually, but a betting house had been set up in his Chat.
===
A/N: At this point Mark seems only a ans of entertainnt for the Chat 🍷🗿
