Lockdown (Picture Day book 2; an II fanfic)

Glass and Wires

Fan felt the bandages on his face. Those were the only things holding him together at this point. Literally.

He was still under the bed. That was the only place he felt comfortable. Despite being slightly claustrophobic, he was more secure.

At least he had the free will to crawl out if he wanted to.

The last place he wanted to be was in this building. Cobs was here somewhere, along with multiple MePhones working for him.

If someone walked into the room while Test Tube was gone, his safest bet would be hiding under the bed.

Test Tube was in... whatever 'training' Cobs was putting her through.

Why did he even bring her back? Was it because she's smart? Maybe... Maybe he was planning on making her be the executor just to rub salt in the wound?

But that felt like too much effort for something like that.

He was planning on using her for something. Probably something cruel and twisted, what else would he do that for?

Fan accidentally pressed slightly too hard on the bandages and winced.

Careful Fan... Don't re-open the wounds...

He couldn't see out of one eye.

It was pretty self-explanatory, as his eye was covered by the bandages, but when Cobs cut his head open it seemed like it had torn through his eye.

Fan was just hoping that it was from the bandages that he couldn't see and that there was any chance that Cobs had just barely missed it.

It was hard for Fan to tell really, as closing one eye just doesn't look like anything, making it hard for him to tell.

The only way he would be able to tell was if the bandages were taken off, which right now wouldn't be a good idea.

After a while, the door to the room opened, then closed behind whoever had walked in.

Fan held his breath, just in case.

"Fan? You still under there?"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just Test Tube.

"Mhm-" Fan muttered.

Fan could see Test Tube kneel down to look under the bed.

"You know you can come out when I'm in here..." She stated.

Fan was silent.

Test Tube sighed and stood back up straight, sitting on the bed above Fan.

"I don't get why you're so worried about this place! It seems fine to me..."

"You don't remember what happened." Fan said quietly, a bit of frustration and sadness in his voice.

"You keep saying these things but I just don't get it," Test Tube replied, "you keep saying 'remember' as if there's something I should remember but..."

There was a long silence.

"I barely know you as far as I know, and you're trying to convince me that the person who created me-"

"He didn't create you." Fan interrupted with a stern tone.

He hated that.

Cobs didn't create Test Tube, he revived her. He took her parts and brought her back.

At least that's the theory he had.

Her glass looked tampered with.

It must've been her original glass, which is why she was still... well... herself, but with all these little details and artificial parts mixed in.
