Everyday in that hospital was pure agony for Victor. In short he hated it so much that everyday he just wishes that he died and not end up where he is now. He was there for 5 months, coped up with his father, his blasted father that couldn't let him stay dead and used him like he was just another experiment that his father wouldn't share to the world, not yet and chances are not ever.

He spent most of the time re-learning everything that he already knew he could do, so for him it was also boring. His father wasn't really sympathetic for him and this made Victor more angry. He didn't belong anywhere anymore. As soon as Victor was done for the day he would go back to his room and leave his father alone once again. Silas really did feel sympathetic at/for Victor it's just that Victor didn't believe him. But that was not everything Victor knew about his father, his father had another secret that he was keeping from Victor, one that he was not planning on sharing... yet.

After many months just being there, with his father, doing nothing, not getting to see his girlfriend, Victor grew to understand that to do anything even remotely normal then he would have to escape from the lab, he just needed to know how to do it. 'That shouldn't be hard' he thought to himself, but boy was he wrong.

Victor's first thought on escaping was to ask his father if he was allowed to leave. Silas said that Victor was not allowed to leave yet and ordered him to go back to his room. Vic did as he was told and went back to his room and sat with his back away from the door. Crying to himself for ever being so dumb that he would actually try and do what he did. But life is about challenging yourself, isn't it? Victor just thought about what he did, due to his cybernetic enhancements the conversation was still fresh in his mind.

_Flashback_

Victor went up to his father after that day's 'workout'. Silas turned around to face Victor with a smile on his face for the fact that his son was finally speaking to him after all that time of managing to ignore him.

"Son is something wrong?" Silas said, obviously thinking that Victor was speaking to him for his own benefit. Not to ask how his dad was doing only to ask if he was allowed something, like the world evolved around him.

"Silas, I want to leave this blasted place." Victor answered. "I don't want anything to do with you or this place." Victor motions around him.

"Son, what would make you want to do that?" Silas asks, confused. "I saved your life. I gave you everything you wanted. I can't possibly tell what is wrong. What would make you want to leave."

"See that is where you are wrong! You didn't give me everything that I wanted. If you had we wouldn't be here right now. I wouldn't be a monster! I wouldn't have been at death's door. But no, you could give me the one thing that I wanted in my life. You said you wanted me to get a job, and I did. I kept my grades up to standard and yet you still did not do the one thing I wanted from you. One thing for god's sake and you couldn't do it."

"I do not know what you are talking about. I gave you everything. You could have done anything, you could have had an amazing life, you still can. You're everything a parent could ask for."

"See my point exactly. Everything a parent could ask for, nothing about the child or what they want, it's the parent. You never considered what I want you to do to you. Do you!"

"Son..."

"Do not call me your son. 'Cause you were never my father."

"Victor, you cannot go. We don't know that..."

"That you can keep me your lab rat. I mean that is all you ever saw of me. A lab rat nothing more. Goodbye. I hope I never have to see you again!"

"No it's not that..." Silas hesitated for a moment. "Doesn't matter. All that matters is that you don't leave, not yet."

'Not ever,' Victor thought to himself. Leaving Silas standing by himself wondering if his son will ever forgive him, ever listen to what he needs... what he needs to tell him... that he has cancer.
