Hans has been sleeping for a while now.

Well, technically, after he was the only tribute left, the hovercraft came for him. There he just kind felt into a deep sleep. And he had been sleeping since that day.

The doctors attended him while he was sleep. They gave him all the medicine they had to fix the small issues he had in his body. Like scars or something. It is unknown if it really had anything, all that can be known is that they looked over him as some kind of devilish guardian angels.

Then, he woke up. The victor had ascended from the ashes and then he was ready to do everything he needed to do to go home.

Or so he thought.

After finishing up cleaning himself up, he went to the talk with his mentor.

"Is it going to be as bad as the victors before… you know, the Second Dark Days?" He had heard stories about what happened to the victors before that. Getting sold as merchandise, as sexual merchandise for perverted Capitol citizens, it was something he didn´t want. It was something he might have deserved, but it was something he didn´t want.

"Myriad is bad president, but he is not that evil. Hell, he punished the guys who had enslaved me my whole life with death penalty, so there´s that." Ashmira said while playing with her while looking away from Hans.

"Cool, cool" If it was gonna happen, he was decided to go along with it, but if it didn´t he would cool with it.

What fate decided was fine by him.

Some days later the interview came by. And he didn´t know if he was prepared to be in it.

He was gonna be shown his friends dying again, which was well, not nice per se, but if it had to happen, it had to happen. But having that happen, while Lorenzo is doing his nasty remarks about his friends died.

Not cool, not cool at all.

Ashmira tells him everything will be just fine, but he isn´t sure about that.

And as he steps on the stage, he knows he should expect the worst.

"Oh, here it is! I present you, the victor from the fourth quarter quell, the shiny, user of dolphins, master of the waves, Hans Miner from District Twelve!"

Why is he complimenting me so much?

"Oh, thank you Lorenzo." He says as he takes the seat. "I must say I am glad to be here"

"Anyone would be glad to be alive my man, so don´t say dumb shit" The audience laughs and Hans gets a little upset about this, but moves on.

"What are you gonna question on me today?"

"Aha! Smart guy, who thinks will get to outsmart big Lorenzo. Don´t think so my man, don´t think so."

Lorenzo continues. "So, how does it feel to be able to control and be responsible for four deaths in the arena?"

Four deaths, what is he saying. Lilith, Cap, maybe he means he means and

No, he didn´t

Lorenzo continues with his charade. "I mean, we saw how you were the master of the dolphins back there, and you mind controlled them. It is obvious to one who dictated the death of Xander, right?" And he goes on "Does it feel good to have killed your bestie, huh?"

He is taunting you, don´t listen to him and stay calm

"I didn´t control them" Hans says but it all happens is that the audience laughs. One time and two time for a while that are really seconds but feel like hours to Hans

They are still trying to torture you don´t listen to them you are fine you are good be calm be safe and stay calm

"I didn´t do it" he says, but he gets in response is Lorenzo asking for the game footage to start rolling.

And it does. He sees himself, shockingly he almost doesn´t recognize himself as to when he is reaped and he has to choose Xander, poor Xander, to come with him. He sees himself and Xander in the chariots, dressed in dumb miner outfits, with no idea of what would come to happen for those little guys.

He sees himself in the interview, lining up to do something funny but falling at all time. He sees himself standing in his platform before the bloodbath happens, terrified and not willing to do anything serious to survive yet. He sees the countdown go down to zero and chaos ensues.

The District Four man kills the old man from seven, but he has hint of regret in his eyes. He sees Athos do what all peacekeepers do, and murder mindlessly the boy from eleven, in which that moment the boy from One attacks him, and then Logan murders his own brother.

In that moment, he knows he did the right thing stabbing his dick.

He sees Xander being rescued by them, and then he sees Panima getting killed by Athos and Logan.

I am so glad I killed him

Then, the days pass and he sees one of his fatal mistakes. Leaving Striga alone and her getting murdered by Lilith while protecting Mercy.

Again, I am glad I killed them

Death continue. The alliance more intact till that moment gets attacked by the careers, the man who had attacked Xander getting killed there, while he was just telling a story.

Death pass, and then he sees the career more people, Lilith killing an innocent girl, and then Xander dies, and Hans is about to cry, but no, he won´t let them see him down again.

And then the next second he sees Mercy die, and he is about to let it all go, but then he sees him killing Lilith, and anger fill his veins.

She shouldn´t have done that.

Then he sees Logan murdering even more people, and himself finishing off Cap.

And then the final battle and everyone gasps when they see him knifing´s dick.

Like they haven´t seen it before.

And the tape ends and he is so pissed, but for some reason, it doesn´t appear that way.

I should hold myself back

"What a death ride." Lorenzo says. "What death did you enjoy the most, the little ally of yours, or the therapist man?"

And before he could say anything to snipe back, someone in the audience shouts.

And then he sees the president coming in.

With a crown. Made out of animal flesh.

Dolphin´s to be exact.

Myriad walks over him and speaks up.

"Congratulations, victor of the Hunger Games" he says and he moves over him. Lorenzo is seemingly quiet, weird for him.

And as the president of Panem puts the crown over his head, he whispers in his ear.

"Go to my office next, boy. I need to speak to you in private"

And then after he leaves and the interview finishes (finally), and Ashmira tells him Lorenzo uses laughs tracks, he only has one thing in his mind.

What the hell does he want?!
