Sebastian had never truly hated hospitals until his adventures within the world Ruvik created with the help of the STEM device. Now Sebastian despised hospitals with a passion.
"If this is even a real hospital," Sebastian muttered.
It didn't make things easier when the doctors were viewing him as if he was some sort of experiment. His brain activity had changed since his last MRI. It took a moment to remember why it was done in the first place.
"Oh yeah some asshole nearly caved in my skull," Sebastian chuckled wearily.
Thinking back, it was during one of his more dangerous cases when he was nearly bludgeoned to death, which led to the MRI due to Joseph's insistence.
Sebastian grumbled, "I'm dying for a smoke."
"You really should consider quitting. It's bad for your health you know," A smooth voice practically purred from the doorway.
It was a doctor, one Sebastian did not recognize from the others he'd seen. The doctor was tall male, around a similar age to his own, and appeared as a mild-featured man. He had brown hair swept back with a single long strand hanging down his face, wearing wired square glasses that did nothing to hide his vivid green eyes.
Sebastian sighed, "He kind of reminds me a bit of Joseph…"
Taking another look at the doctor Sebastian felt a sudden unease around the man. The eyes behind those glasses looked calculating and almost menacing. The easygoing smile plastered on his face may have fooled others, but not Sebastian especially with all that has happened recently.
The detective also noticed the doctor's build was more in line of a fighter, a person who delivers pain not one who heals it. Sebastian could clearly see the thick biceps underneath the lab jacket.
"Mr. Castellanos my name is Dr. Maxwell Bloodworth. Yes I know a terrible name for a doctor, but it was the one I was given," Maxwell smiled disarmingly.
Sebastian raised a brow at the name, "Yeah I can see how a name like that would get a few stares. So Dr. Bloodworth why are you here?"
"The straightforward type, very well… I am a specialist sent in to handle your unique case. Your encounter with the STEM device had caused some side effects," Maxwell stated firmly quickly losing his smile, knowing he wasn't fooling the detective.
Sebastian grunted, "You mean besides the headaches and hallucinations." He folded his arms defensively, sizing up the other man waiting to see his response. He knows he could not leave. The guards by his room were not for his protection. "I'm a prisoner here," Sebastian frowned.
"The headaches are the result of your direct connection with Ruvik. You are one of the two who managed to survive such a feat, but you are the only one who did so with your mind intact. Don't worry the headaches will pass," Maxwell explained.
"And the hallucinations?" Sebastian probed.
Maxwell grinned wickedly, "Are not hallucinations at all, well not like you believed them to be. You are experiencing visions. From the reports you are having post-cognition or retro-cognition visions. You see when you were inside the STEM device you were somehow able to access untapped parts of your mind. This caused you to enhance abilities you already possess."
"As a detective haven't you ever wanted to be able to know what happened at a crime scene without having to go through the process of an investigation as if you could literally press rewind in time to see what happened? Well now you can, there is also your perception augmentation," Maxwell left his statement hang in the air.
Sebastian sighed, "Clairvoyance, huh."
Maxwell smile deepened, "Yes the ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through means other than the known senses, extrasensory perception. I couldn't help, but notice you seem wary of me."
"You may have a Ph.D., but you're no ordinary doctor so just who are you?" Sebastian hissed.
"Very good, your suspicions aren't unfounded. I work for the organization responsible for all that took place concerning the STEM device and Ruvik. You see the late Dr. Jimenez published Ruvik's research and the organization became very interested, but there was a little snag," Maxwell smirked.
Sebastian growled, "Yes Ruvik had yet to complete the machine so you waited like a pack of vultures and swooped in once he was done then used his brain like a battery for that fucking machine."
"Crude, but correct however to our shock and curiosity Ruvik was not quite out of the picture as you'd imagine. So after a few test subjects were placed in the machine we saw Ruvik had near complete control over the world inside the STEM device, in addition to creating outside effects. We later developed a drug to administer to our agents so they could not be affected by Ruvik's influence," Maxwell stated.
Sebastian's eye twitched in anger, "That explains why Kidman was not affected."
"Yes and Dr. Jimenez though it did not help him in the end. There is not much one can do when one's consciousness kill while inside," Maxwell sighed.
"Don't try to bullshit me. The doc's number was up the moment you guys got what you wanted and you were tying up loose ends. Besides it was all Ruvik's work, Jimenez only knew the basics. If he was so smart he could have built his own version of STEM instead he stole it!" Sebastian sneered.
Maxwell smiled a bit too happily for the subject matter, "You are smarter than you appear. However back to your miraculous survival, what is so special about you? Why didn't you die like the others, not only with your mind unharmed, but heightened?"
Maxwell continued on without letting Sebastian respond, "Could it be Ruvik wanted something from you? Perhaps he was hoping for a backup host because let's be honest you would make the better body to possess. Handsome, physically fit despite the years of smoking and alcohol, and an established reputation that would allow him to climb up the ranks into a position of power. Being in law enforcement you have access to information and resources he didn't have before so he could get his revenge much easier."
Maxwell's eyes raked across Sebastian's body in a hungry manner that inwardly made him squirm. "I'd be damn if I'll let his arrogant fucker have the satisfaction of seeing me sweat," Sebastian kept his face blank and his body still.
"So is this the reason you've kept me here? In case Ruvik comes to finish me off or try to possess me like he did Leslie?" Sebastian asked.
"Maybe, but I think he has other plans for you. You are an anomaly and Ruvik is a man of science, he'll want to study you thoroughly," Maxwell smirked before making his way out the door. "Do get some rest, you have a busy day tomorrow," He added with a false pleasant smile then left out the room, the door closing ominously behind.
Sebastian looked down at his lap, hand tightening into fists before slowing unclenching them. An almost crazed smile crossed his lips as hysterical laughter escaped passed them.
Then exhaustion set in, Sebastian sighed, slumping back into his bed. He smiled resignedly staring up at the ceiling, "After all that I'm in the same position as Ruvik and Leslie… made into a prisoner and science experiment. I wonder if they'll tear out my brain and put it in the machine."

Author's Note: Had the sudden urge to write for this fandom. I kind of found myself in it before I knew it and it all started from one simple line: Who do you think you are? I know who you are, Seb. I know what you crave, what you fear... Will you be able to live with yourself knowing what I'm gonna make you do? Poor little Joseph couldn't... Too bad they dragged you into this. But either way, you're mine to do with as I please.
Yeah… that did it for me so it was off to the internet to find Ruvik x Sebastian fanfiction and fanart. Glad to see the internet didn't disappoint me so here's my contribution. No Ruvik x Sebastian scenes/interactions yet, but there will be.
Thanks for reading! Until next time…
