I.. I could’ve sworn I saw Hera off the corner of my eye.

I thought it was only just the old S.T.A.R.s team members who were supposed to be coming back as simulacra… Nobody said anything about anyone who died recently..

I… I suppose I don’t entirely blame Hera for “haunting” me specifically. She does have every right to be angry with me.

I did end up having to fight her since I gave the last post exposure vaccine to Pax instead of her… which.. resulted in her death.

… I wish it didn’t have to come to that.

Why is there a picture of Hera Osborn on my blog?

Confrontation Part 2

[Part 1]

It took a bit of puzzle cracking but the moment the locks were bypassed with a click, October’s group had access to the Osborn suite. The group enters in cautiously, with everyone readying their available weapons as they began to explore the area.

The suite was just about as luxurious as they could’ve imagined: high ceilings, minimalist color palette, marble floors, strange historical masks displayed on the walls like trophies, expensive furniture that looks way too geometric to be comfortable, skyline view of the city below… a place suited for a CEO and her family. It would’ve been photogenic had the furniture not been knocked over and one of the windows shattered, leaving an opening for a chilling drop below.

“Jesus..” MJ mutters as she looks over the mess.

October takes out his flashlight and shines it on the broken glass scattered on the floor. “Looks like something burst in rather than was thrown out.” he observes.

“Hm,” Sonya mutters. “Whatever it was, it had to be strong enough to do so. Surely Nora didn’t install sugar glass in her penthouse.”

“Right,” Caryl says, gripping her gun tightly.

They all silently agreed to avoid that area altogether as they maneuvered over the ravaged living room. On both sides, the main living room branched off into smaller hallways that lead to more areas of the penthouse.

Even without the presence of the Infected roaming around on the other floors, they couldn’t help but flinch a bit at every little noise. Living this way for months on end certain didn’t do them many favors.

They all froze when they heard strained, raspy breathing coming from the end of the left hallway. Though it was distant and muffled, it was obvious they weren’t alone. MJ’s blood went cold as she recognized where it was coming from.

“… It’s coming from Hera’s room,” she murmured.

October turned to the direction of the breathing noise before he looks back the rest of the group. “Should we..?”

“Careful, Doc.” Carly says.

October sighs, slowly leading the others down the hallway. Upon reaching Hera’s bedroom, October hesitated for a moment. Something deep within him had his hands take pause as he reached out for the door handle. But now wasn’t the time for this.

With a gentle turning of the knob, he opens the door a crack. Peeking inside, the what would’ve been a regular bedroom seemed to have been turned into a makeshift hospital room. Strange OsCorp branded monitors October didn’t recognize were quietly beeping, a curtain was obscuring where the bed was, spare hospital robes were seen tossed onto the floor haphazardly… the setup was clearly rushed and yet…

He opened the door further to let the others in. Despite them entering into the frigid room, there doesn’t seem to be much rustling from the bed.

“Hera..?” MJ said, cautiously approaching the bed. Her voice seemed to be getting choked by her own tears. “Are you there? It’s me, MJ..”

“Wait,” Sonya directed, placing her hand on MJ’s shoulder, “We don’t know if it’s safe to get close, Ms. Watson. Let me go ahead.”

MJ wanted to object, but ultimately she stood down and let Sonya go ahead of her. “Ok.. just. Can you please keep the gun down for now?”

Sonya nods, complying with MJ’s request. She steps forward, her gun pointed to the floor.

Tugging the curtain away, the group found a decrepit looking Hera. Her stringy, dull, unkempt red hair seemed to be growing out of control. Her body was too deathly thin for her hospital gown and her eyes looked sunken in... and her darkened limbs looked far too long for her body. Hera is asleep, though seeing that medical bed restraints were attached to her, Sonya couldn’t help but keep her guard up as she held on tighter to her magnum.

Sonya steps aside for October, Caryl, and MJ to look at Hera Osborn. She seemed to be unresponsive but still breathing.

[What will you do now, Doctor?]

- [Give her the vaccine]

If Hera is the only recent Simulacra that’s showing up… do you think OsCorp may have had something to do with their existence? (Or, at least, maybe they’ve done research on them before?)

… Hm. I don’t think so? Unless Nora had some sort of interaction with the Out of Bounds that she never discussed in the files we found in her offices. Though.. maybe she took those with her? Assuming if she did have them in the first place.

See, my current thoughts on these entities are that they’re not exactly… natural… to our world. They were created by some sort of method involving the very “coding” of our dimension.

Now, while it would be VERY easy to blame Mihai for this… I’m not sure if he was directly responsible for them. Not yet at least.

I’m not sure why Hera appeared to us. Maybe it was a glitch? Something is wrong with the programming of our dimension?

Maybe Hera knows something…

[ask-octoberotto]

I’m.. starting to feel sick. But it’s more like a general feeling of malaise?

That, on top of fatigue and falling asleep too easily. It’s getting increasingly harder to get out of bed.

Still feel like I’m being watched.

I think I need to talk to Hera today…
