AN- Me: Oh look! A pretty flower!

Interlude
The screams through the lab that Flowey thought would be never ending had been silent for the past couple of days. The flower that used to be Prince Asriel simply shrugged and turned back to blankly staring at the wall in front of him. It wasn't like it had anything to do with him, and Gaster had long since conducted all of the experiments he could for a soulless being, leaving him here to rot. He had nothing to fear.
The door opened, and Flowey didn't react, his eyes never even blinking.
"Subject A," the detached voice said, and Flowey turned towards him, Non-compliance was punished after all. He resisted the urge to shiver at the look in the doctor's eyes, and he idly wondered how high a level of LOVE the doctor had accumulated after all these years. "You claimed to be Prince Asriel."
He nodded. The doctor hadn't been able to disprove it for all that he didn't believe it, so by the laws of science he had to treat it as true. Flowey knew all about the man's twisted version of science now.
"Then you would be familiar with Subject C's thought process."
Flowly stared at him blankly. He would have to know who Subject C was before he would be able to say anything on that front.
"Subject C," the doctor continued, "Previously identified as Chara Dreemur."
Flowey's eyes widened at the name of his best friend and sibling, feeling something for the first time in a long time. According to the doctor things without souls couldn't feel anything. So either Flowey still had some semblance of a soul or the only feeling he lost was love, because he definitely could feel fear during the experiments, and hatred for the man in front of him.
He looked Gaster in the eye and, for Chara, for his best friend, for his sibling, of the one person he could still cobble together some version of positive emotion, he defied his tormentor for the first time in decades. He said the words that would anger the doctor the most, hopefully keeping him off of Chara's tail for as long as possible while Gaster focused on Flowey.
"You. Can't. Make. Me." he challenged, ignoring the shaking of his body. The doctor's usually detached expression twisted, and Flowey mentally gave a triumphant grin. For Chara, it was all worth it.
The doctor reached out, and Flowey screamed as his world was filled with pain.
