Chapter 65. Choose: Death or Obedience
----
The hallway lights buzzed faintly as Nolan descended into the lower chambers the quiet, sterilized depths of OsCorp where failed experiments waited for their next purpose.
Only two subjects remained: Logan and Jessica Jones.
The former sat in the corner, half-feral and hollow-eyed. His lower body had finally regenerated, but the man looked older. Worn down.
The latter Jessica sat motionless. Eyes blank. A shell of the woman she once was.
Nolan stepped into the chamber.
Logan snarled, pressing against the reinforced glass. "Back to watch your lab rats squirm?"
Nolan didn't respond.
Logan had become background noise valuable only as long as his regeneration remained uncracked. Until then, he could rot.
He turned to Jessica.
"You have a choice," he said calmly, coldly. "Swear loyalty or be discarded like broken hardware."
