Reno sighed looking at the clock. He had 3 more hours of work left, then he could go home and relax for the weekend. He leaned back in the chair looking at the ceiling. Today was uneventful. No missions and barely any paper work. He had spent the majority of the day coming up with new pranks for Tseng and Rufus. Tseng was a lot harder because his darker hair didn't allow the hair dye to work so a lot of his pranks were focused on Rufus.

Tsengs face suddenly appeared over his he jumped up slamming their heads together.

"Ow!" Tseng glared at Reno who was holding his head.

"Mission, its urgent and must be taken care of now Rude will explain...or Rude will give you the file on the way there go he's waiting outside."

Reno sighed standing. So much for a quiet day. He grabbed his jacket before heading down stairs and into the company car. Like said Rude gave him the folder.

"Old Shinra labs have been found? Seriously?" Rude nodded. "Dude that's crazy, yo"

Rude sighed as he read the folder over before giving it back. "So we just have to look around see what Hojo did see if there's files the same old right?"

"Seems so, shouldn't take that long, the lab doesn't seem that large from the pictures" Rude explained knowing if Reno was worried about anything it would be getting home on time.

"Good, how far away is it?"

"About 10 minutes away."

XxXxXx

Reno clicked the flash light on looking around the room. It wasn't large but then it wasnt small. It was a decent size lab. Like every lab Hojo had test tubes surrounded the walls along with computers. The difference was the large circular glass thing in the middle of the room. The door to it was open curious he looked at Rude who was looking at some data in books on the floor. He stepped up into it looking at the ceiling. He stopped walking once he reached the center of it looking around.

"Erie..." he said Rude dropped the book he had been holding causing Reno to jump back stepping on something.

"System on" the door suddenly slammed closed trapping Reno. Rude looked up running over the minute he saw the problem.

"The doors stuck!" Reno said slamming his fist against it.

"Program K-7 activated" Reno blinked. Shit that didn't sound good he moved back to the center. The floor and ceiling light up a bright blue .

"Scanning subject"

"Reno! What the hell?!" rude yelled pulling out his gun annoyed he fired at the door.

And nothing happened.

"Well...shit" He muttered. Then noticed the blue circle lasers scanning his body.

"Rude! Find some info on this thing! What the hell is it doing!" he yelled annoyed.

"Subject 077-2 program ready and activated"

Rude stood watching Reno look around to room confused. Attempting to find out what was going on he flipped though the door confused. He looked up when the room began to flash.

Shit.

Reno was standing straight arms at his sides legs off the ground. His head was back looking at the ceiling but his eyes were closed. Which meant whatever the program was. It was doing something. Reno's body began to glow and pale blue which became brighter and brighter. He looked down at the book finally finding the page reading it over he froze.

Once activated impossible to stop.

He looked away when the tube was a complete bright white. Then glass shattered metal crashed and he flew back not sure what happened. He slammed into one of the computers groaning. Soon the room became dark again.

Rude groaned rubbing the back of his head. Slowly opening his eyes he looked around the dark room. The tube Reno had been in not moments ago nothing. He pulled out his cell phone which survived the fall dialing Tseng.

"Rude done already"

"No" he groaned "Something happened I don't remember Reno something hit my head"

"Ok me and Elena are on our way, Rude don't move too much, and don't fall asleep" He nodded leaning against the cool metal of the computer. He wasn't sure how much time had passed or when his eyes fell closed. But he felt a painful slap against his face and groaned.

"Sorry Rude I had to...where's Reno?" She asked he noticed Tseng behind her. He waved over to the broken glass thing.

"The thing activated I couldn't get him out" he said Tseng walked over kicking over a large piece of glass. Looking around at the remains he tried to put together what it was when a cry took his attention away from everything.

It wasn't Reno that was for sure. The voice was to high pitched and child like, he looked around listening closely. It was for sure a child crying.

"Rude...was there a kid here?"

"No just me and Reno" he said Elena helped him stand then went over to help Tseng. Who was walking on the other side of the room the cry getting louder. Elena ran over to help him hearing the cries also. They found a large piece of metal lifting it Elena gasped.

A 6 year old child laid there crying and cut up. It wasn't that. The child was Reno.

A lot younger the tattoos gone his hair way shorter and more bright red. The suit was to large but covered him enough.

"Shit..." Tseng cursed "Elena take him ill take care of Rude" he said not really wanting to deal with a young Reno. She glared at his back as he walked away kneeling down she petted Reno's hair.

"Hey little one don't cry" she said softly, like she hoped his cries slowed as he looked once realizing he was no longer trapped he giggled. "What's your name?"

"Rweno!" he said giggling again.

"Well Reno I'm Elena, how bout we get out of this scary place and get you into warm clothes" he nodded carefully she lifted him up surprised by how light he was, she barely felt like she was lifting someone. Holding him carefully he hid his face in the crook of her neck and shoulder seeing Tseng and Rude.

"Let's go..." Tseng nodded looking at the room once more.

"Clouds going to be pissed" Rude muttered softly.
