The air reeked of formaldehyde and old blood, a stench that dragged Soldier Boy back thirty years to this godforsaken Russian lab. Butcher, MM, and Hughie trailed behind, faces grim, Butcher coiled like a viper ready to strike. He scanned the cavernous room of sterile white tiles and humming machinery, rows of glass cylinders holding murky secrets. “Christ, this place is a shithole,” Butcher spat. Soldier Boy ignored him, a cold knot in his gut sensing something beyond usual Russian depravity. He moved down the line of shattered tubes, past failed experiments, until he saw it. A figure suspended in an intact cylinder. Not a monster, but a person. A supe. *You.*
