Hey, I'm at it again. Another Watchmen story. I got to thinking, what if Rorschach had to go through a series of test to prove he deserves to live. Well, here's what I got. There will be a huge twist. Hope you enjoy.

"If only you've cared from start, none of this would have happened." Rorschach informs Manhattan. His body shock for the cold air of the frozen waste-land.

"I can change almost anything." Dr. Manhattan explains, "But I can not change human nature."

"Of course." Rorschach replies, "Must protect Veidt's new utopia. One more body amongst fodations makes little difference." Rorschach removes his hat and mask, revealing his true face. He looked at Manhattan's emotionless face. "What are you waiting for?" he questions, "Do it." Manhattan stood motionless. Anger grows within Rorschach's body, he then let's it all out in an order, "DO IIIIIT!" Manhattan raises his hand a few inches, to which Rorschach vanishes into a blue flash.

Something was wrong. Rorschach felt warm again. He was still breathing. The he opened his eyes to find himself in a dark room. He couldn't see well enough to figure his location. It felt damp. He was without his mask, coat, gloves, and hat. "This must be Hell." Rorschach thought. He tries to move, only to find a sharp pain in his chest. He also found that he was cuffed to some kind of chair. He leans his head forward, only to feel some kind of wire around his neck. He jerks forward, pull the wire. All of a sudden, the lights come on to reveal the room. The walls were covered in rust. He also finds that he is in some kind of large tank. The glass was dirty, and the metal that held the sheets together were rusted like the walls. He then noticed a small TV that was in the middle of the room. It turns on, revealing a strange puppet. Its head was white, with reds, black hair, and a red swirl pattern on each of its cheeks. It was dressed in a suit. It turned it's head towards Rorschach.

"Hello, Rorschach." the puppet greeted in a raspy voice, "You do not know me, but I know you. I wanna play a game. You've served the city of New York as a viglante from the ealier 70s and late 80s. You claimed to have punish the evil that infected the city. You killed many rapists and murderers. I for one approve of your ways of justice. But this is not why you are here. People are so ungreatful to be alive. Which one are you is what I want to know. You will go through three test in order to prove yourself worthy of live. You my not care about your... but do you care for the lives of innocent people?" Rorschach's full attention was on the puppet. "You're challenges involve compassion and judgement." the puppet continues, "You've judged people in your past. But now, your judgement truely matters. And to assure you are very aware, you've been given toxic chemical." Rorschach looks down at his arms, finding his right arm bandaged. "You have a limit of an hour to complete you tests." the puppet continues, "You will find the cure on you fourth and final test. But for now, you may be wondering about the tank you are in. Your first challenge is to judge this man." A spot-light flips on, revealing another tank next to the TV. A man was inside of it.

"Where am I?" the man questions in shock. He looks at Rorschach. "WHERE THE FUCK AM I?" the man yells.

"This man has raped a total of ten women." the puppet explains, "Three of the women he raped became pregnant. And one killed herself, not wanting her child to one day learn of their life. The tanks you two are in will be filled with water temperatures around twenty below. In order to complete this test, you must survive longer than your counter part. When he is dead, your chamber will shatter, releasing you."

"WHAT THE FUCK!" the man shouts in shock, "SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

"Will you give your life for this man?" the puppet questions, "The choice is your's. Let the game begin." The TV shuts off. Water begins to rush into the tanks.

"Hey!" the man yells, "You gotta help me, man! Don't you know a way out?"

"I do." Rorschach replies, "Just gotta hold my breathe. You should do the same." The man stuggles to get free from the chair. The freezing water reaches the chests of both men. Rorschach doesn't appear to be bothered by the water.

"SOMEBODY!" the man yells agian, "HEEEEEELP!"

"Scum like you doesn't deserve to walk away." Rorschach states. The water reachs his neck. The man takes a deep breathe and holds it. The water reaches Rorschach's mouth. Then takes a deep breathe, as the water covers his head. Rorschach watched calmly as the man continued to struggle under the surface of the water. "Retarded." Rorschach thought, "He's wasting his last breathe. I'll be out soon." The man struggles hard. Bubbles start to flow from the man's nose. The man noticed that he was losing air quickly. He stop stuggling and looked at Rorschach. Rorschach was calm, making no movement. The need for air starts to get to the man. He releases the air from from his mouth. Rorschach shakes his head. THe man starts to struggle again. His moement become more violent. Blood starts to leak from the his cuffed hands.

"HHHUUUGGPPP!" the man tries to scream help. Water starts to fill his lungs. The man chokes on the water, He starts to fade. He inhails a large amount of water. The man's head falls forward, dead. Rorschach's tank shatters, releasing the water from the tank. The cuffs that help Rorschach's hands and feet unlock. Rorschach stands to his feet and leaves the tank. He sees a small table that had his name carved into it. There was a tape recorder sitting on it. He picks it up and presses the play button.

"You've completed your first test." states the same raspy voice of the puppet, "You may still have questions about why you're here and not dead. The answers will be revealed once you've completed the tests I have given you. For each test, your reward will be an article of clothing you are missing." Rorschach looks down to see his coat on the table. "You still have three challenges." the voice informs, "The cold water has slowed the chemical down, giving you more time. You best hurry, before it takes your life." The tape ends, and a door open. Rorschach places the coat on his body and leaves through the door.

Please Review. Thanks.
