[ MaryBlue Hospital, New York]

Inside a particular room located in a restricted part of the hospital, many incubators with babies dwelling inside filled the room.

Many doctors were making adjustments, checking for mistakes or ensuring that the equipments in the room were fully operational with no faults.

Du Wirst Keine 40 Sekunden Durchhalten

The strange thing about this room was the fact that, the babies were connected to IV drips that contained a deep Blue liquid. The fact that some of the babies had glowing eyes increased the strangeness of the situation.

After a while, a stout 5'7 young man in his early to mid thirties dressed in a white long sleeved shirt and black trousers with black shoes entered the room with two professional bodyguards.

All the doctors ceased what they were doing and paid respects to the man. He seemed like the average American, the only difference was the hard and serious expression plastered on his face making him seem unfriendly.

"Doctor Vogelbaum, to what do we owe this pleasure?"

A middle aged doctor with gray hair asked, as he was the one in charge of the institution.

They all knew he was busy as of this moment as they heard he is working on the replacement of Soldier Boy.

"I was passing around and I decided to come here to see if there are any subjects that look promising. The board is pushing for more promising quality 'products' that can replace the old generation."

He replied calmly. The doctor and his colleagues nodded with understanding after hearing his words. Since the disbandment of 'Payback', Vought needed more strong and capable superheroes.

"We will be more than happy to show you some of the promising subjects in this lab, please follow me."

The middle aged doctor said. The two doctors then moved from incubator to incubator, showcasing babies they classified as special.

" This is subject Mary, she has showcased levels of electromagnetic wave inference when crying or upset."

" This is subject Brian, we speculate that he possess the ability to project ultrasound waves from his mouth. We discovered this when we couldn't hear him when he was crying."

"This is …."

A total of three children were shown to Doctor Vogelbaum, they were the ones who were deemed to be special and they were going to be paid special attention.

Du Wirst Keine 40 Sekunden Durchhalten

Doctor Vogelbaum, after seeing the promising subjects got intrigued by one particular subject who was isolated from the other subjects.

He walked towards it and arrived in front of the incubator and saw a baby sleeping. It had a white pale skin, white hair and eye lashes.

"What about this subject?"

He asked with interest.

"This is Virgil, we brought him to test if albino patients will react differently when administered Compound V. So far he hasn't showed any superpower and he doesn't suffer from the typical problems people with OCA1-A face. He is the most quiet and sleeps most of the time."

The middle aged doctor explained. Doctor Vogelbaum continued to watch the subject, something within him was telling him that the child isn't normal and most of the time his instincts dont fail him.

The subject in question woke up due to the noise and glanced around. He has ruby colored eyes which briefly shined with understanding after noticing the small crowd gathered in front of his incubator.

This went unnoticed by everyone except Doctor Vogelbaum who became surprised as this wasn't normal. Noticing the intense gaze upon him, Virgil locked eyes with Doctor Vogelbaum and the two got into a staring contest.

Witnessing this strange scene, the middle aged doctor as well as his colleagues became dumbfounded as Virgil hasn't indicated such behavior before and thus were surprised.

After two minutes of staring, Doctor Vogelbaum smirked slightly and moved towards a table not far away from Virgil.

The doctors were perplexed as to why he was suddenly going there but this didn't take long since they saw him bringing a scalpel from the table.

"Sir please what are you going to do with that?"

The doctor in charge asked nervously. Vogelbaum ignored him and came right in front of Virgils incubator and removed the cover.

The other doctors wanted to stop him but the Head doctor stopped them with a look and gestured to the bodyguards standing at the back with their hands on their weapons, ready to draw when they get out of line.

Virgil who saw the scalpel approach his skin had a horrified expression not suiting his age

and before the instrument could touch him, he screamed loudly:

< WAAAAH!!!>

A large concussive force instantly got emitted from his body and swept across the room, destroying the equipments as well as making the doctors, bodyguards, Vogelbaum and the other subjects fly across the room.

Doctor Vogelbaum who got hit the hardest due to his proximity slowly got up from the floor. He coughed out blood while feeling immense pain internal as well as light headedness.

The others also got up but their condition was better than Vogelbaum's since they only felt lightheaded with little to no bruises.

They noticed that the room was filled with smoke with blue liquids and other paraphernalia on the floor. When they checked the condition of the other subjects, they realized that out of eight babies present, three were dead with twisted necks and bashed heads.

After seeing that, they immediately went to check up on the one who caused this and saw him passed out but alive after checking his pulse.

"Clean up here and transfer Virgil to the facility. Increase the dosage of the survivors and send me a report when you settle."

Doctor Vogelbaum commanded with a surprisingly calm tone laced with a bit of excitement.

The Head doctor and his colleagues nodded gravely, they wanted to complain but they knew the consequences will be dire if they do so, so they kept it to themselves.

Vogelbaum and his entourage left the room, and after a while entered an 'Oldsmodel Cutlass' and drove off.

Inside the car, Vogelbaum had a smile on his face as he thought of the potential and intelligence of subject Virgil.

'He hasn't been administered the drug for even a year but he has this much power and potential. It seems Vought got lucky this time with that person's son and this one. The future is already looking bright, I can't wait to test their limits'

He thought with an excited expression on his face as the car drove into the distance.
