Then, he found himself staring into a pair of eyes, brimming with venom and spite.

It might've been since Wayne regained his lost memories, but the other him seemed altered, a skeletal figure clad in a mere sheath of skin.

Penn had just returned to his office from the lab, ready to pen down his observations of Wayne for the day. But then, his phone and computer simultaneously pinged with alerts of Wayne's abnormal heart rate.

"You think that now because we haven't fully merged yet, but soon..." The withered hand reached out towards Wayne.

"Get away!" Quickly, Wayne dodged, tumbling off the hospital bed.
