Geiger canāt really seem to catch a fucking break.Ā In the prison the first go around, it was hell.Ā But at least it was consistent.Ā When heād been with the villains, it was simultaneously worse and better- he felt sick all the time since they couldnāt adequately subdue his radiation levels, but at least he had the constant encouragement that the world was going to change.
But now, heās pretty much back where he started.
The two kids were released to UAās care, but Geiger was still being labeled as a threat, so he was being contained in a holding facility erected on UAās Campus.Ā Just another fucking prison.Ā Though, heād be lying if he didnāt think this was the best accommodation heād been given of the three.Ā It didnāt look like a prison cell on the inside, with a proper bed and full sized bathroom.Ā Food was still brought to him, but it was better than anything heād ever eaten before- even if he had no idea what any of it was.
And the treatments for his radiation were effective, but still pretty unpleasant.Ā But thatās probably not something that can be avoided, when you need to be submerged in freezing water.
But one thing is the same, and thatās the way people are treating him.Ā Keeping him at arms length, never staying around him too long, rarely saying anything more thanĀ āhereās your foodā
At least with the others he had company sometimes.Ā The kids or Spinner would visit him in his little concrete hell.Ā But lately, heās heard mumbles of people coming to talk to him.Ā Who exactly, he wasnāt sure.Ā He was expecting some sort of doctor or scientist but it was... A young woman.Ā A hero, apparently.Ā Sheād asked him a lot of questions, most of which he didnāt answer.Ā He finally told her that if he was trying to get him to tell her more about the villains plans that she should save her breath since they never told him anything.Ā And he went on to tell her that heād been broken out of prison only to be shoved into another one.Ā And he said she couldnāt understand that.
She isnāt contesting him.Ā Good move.Ā Heās heating up a bit, causing the sprinkler system on his side of the room (separated by lead infused glass), letting cold water drip down onto his body.Ā He wipes at his brow with the stub where he once had a hand.Ā Ā āWhy would you do that?ā He asks, voice rough and hoarse,Ā āWhy bother?Ā Nothingās going to change.ā
