Erik steps into the main hall, Luis unconscious but safely cradled in his arms. The harsh fluorescent lights flicker, casting eerie shadows across the room. As he takes a step forward, the sound of boots shuffling and weapons cocking fills the space.
Thirty guards line the room, guns pointed directly at him. Standing in the middle is the main villain, flanked by scientists and a smug Kyle, who smirks as Erik’s eyes land on him.
Villain (smirking): "Ah, Professor Wilson. Or should I say... Luis’s overprotective knight?"
Erik (calm but deadly): "Let me guess. You’re the one orchestrating all this?"
Villain (chuckling): "Orchestrating? That’s such a small word for what we’re doing here. Revolutionizing the future, perhaps?"
Kyle (mocking): "And Luis? He’s just a... key component of that future."
Erik’s jaw tightens, his grip on Luis’s body instinctively becoming more protective.
Erik (darkly): "Key component? You mean you’re using him as your guinea pig."
