@houndw0lf liked for a plotted starter
Piers' eyes snapped open, gasping for air as he grabbed his throat. He expected water, but there was nothing. It was...air? Piers breathed heavily as his mind became aware of where he was. He was in what looked like a regular room, containing a bed, books, and a clock on a nightstand. In the corner stood a half-wall that rose to his waist, with a toilet, sink, and shower. Not much for privacy...
Suddenly, a voice came from a speaker in the corner of the room, above the door. They proceeded to explain how they had saved him from the ocean and how he had been in and out of consciousness for about a month. However, no one knew he was there. The world thought Piers was dead, including Chris. That was unsettling.
The fact that it would stay like that for another month bothered him even more. By this time, his whole right side was scarred from the infection, now having the ability to change his arm back to normal from the mutated state. But even so, that didn't mean he couldn't mutate again. They didn't allow him to leave the room the whole time while they kept testing different serums and cures and getting samples of his blood. It was painful. All while he was constantly watched by hidden cameras that no doubt had audio.
It had been two months since his rescue. Two months of Chris being left in the dark. Until word finally spread about a rumor that Lt Piers Nivans was still alive but was now a monster.
