Location Cauldron Cells
Time 7:00 PM
I was standing in front of the hundreds of cells that are currently holding the Deviants or as people know them Case 53.
Some of them looked somewhat normal like Weld but they still looked very odd. But compared to the the most extreme of cases they looked normal.
It was… horrible what's these people had to go through just because some of them wanted to be heroes.
I then felt a hand on my shoulder that made turn around and looked at who put their hand on my shoulder.
As I turned around I saw Fortuna looking at me with a calm look on her face.
She was wearing her signature suit and fedora all while standing perfectly still almost like a machine.
I frowned as I looked at her and said. "I still don't understand you why wear the fedora all the time." I said as I rolled my eyes. "Honestly it looks like you're trying so hard to look cool and shit."
She looked amused and said. "You have no right to say that mister generic looking guy." She shook her head and continued talking in a sarcastic tone of voice. "Have you looked at a mirror once in your life? At the least I try unlike you."
I wanted to rebuke that… but she was right I did give up pretty fast when I tried to make my own costume and sticked to my normal clothes as my 'costume'.
Fortuna shook her head before her calm expression came back in full and asked me.
"Are you ready? They are waiting."
I didn't say anything at first as I turned around and looked at the rest of the Case 53's in the cells.
For a few seconds I didn't say anything before I turned around and looked at Fortuna and said.
"I'm ready."
She nodded her head and started walking towards one of the cells.
I followed her and looked inside of the cell that she was looking inside.
As I looked I found a pile of molten rocks stuck together that vaguely resembles a human body.
She turned her head towards me and started explaining. "This is Michael Lincolns. He was on death row before he bought vial from us that turned him to a molten rock man." She turned her head back looking at him with a cold stare. "He was on death row from multiple acts of rape and murder."
The frown on my face deepened as I looked at him with disgust as remembered what David had said to me a while ago.

Location Cauldron (Tinker workshop)
Time 1:30 PM (flashback)
I was using many different types of powers as I working making the tinker tech nuke.
I wasn't alone as I looked at David who was using two of his slots for tinker powers and changing their specializations constantly and the third slot having a telekinesis to help him build as I generated material for to use.
We were quiet as we worked focusing solely on finishing the nuke before I had to go confront the Machine Army.
After a while were finally able to get everything done.
I let out a loud sigh as I finished my work and made a couch for me relax a little before I went to go destroy the Machine Army.
David flew next me using his telekinesis sat on the couch beside and let out a sigh of his own.
He looked tried probably because he didn't sleep well last night because he worried that something would go wrong.
Or at the least that was I think after I looked at him using tattletale's power that I forgot to turn off when I finished building the nuke with him.
I made two cups of hot tea and gave him one as I drank from my cup.
He took it and said. "Thanks." He drank from his cup as he looked at the nuke we made.
He looked at the nuke for a few seconds before he turned his head and looked at the rest of the tinker workshop.
I turned my head and looked around the workshop and it looked to be very well maintained and organized so I asked him.
"Hey never knew you guys had a tinker workshop."
David didn't say anything for a while before he answered my question.
"… It was Hero's workshop."
That shut me up fast before I could say anything else.
David looked at the ground for a second and said.
"Once we deal with the Machine Army and you start working on fixing the Deviants I want you to know something about them."
He turned his head and looked at me for a second before continuing talking.
"Some of them were people who wanted to be heros and others wanted to use their powers to become a rogues." He then closed his eyes for a second before he continued speaking. "And some of them… they wanted to be villains… heck some of them were on the way to death row."
He looked at his hands for a moment before he turned his head toward me.
"I never could forgive myself for the many things we did… but I only hope we can fix what we can now."
I looked at him for a second before I smirked and said.
"Ay man don't worry we got alot of time to fix everything and now that you have me here nothing is impossible."
He at me for a second before smiling back at me.
He then looked up and laughed as some tears ran down his face. "…Hero would be so proud." He said as he wiped away the tears on his face.
I put my hand on his shoulder and said with a small smile on my face.
"I'm sure he is proud."

(End of the flashback)
She didn't say anything for a moment turning her head towards me.
She looked at me for a few seconds before I let out a sigh.
"I know… you can help me if I let you path me through [Blank]." I said as I scratched my head.
She didn't say anything at first before shaking her head which confused me.
She looked at me for a second before saying.
"You take it and fix everyone here."
That stopped me for a moment before I recovered and looked at her with a surprised expression on my face.
She looked at me for a second before saying.
"I know you don't trust us enough to let me path entirely so you can take my power and help everyone here."
I stood stunned there for a second before I turned my head back towards the cells near me.
I looked all around me before I looked back at Fortuna.
She was looking back at me with a serious expression on her face before I smiled and said.
"No."
She looked at me confused for a moment and before she could say anything I started messing with the powers I have stored.
I struck a pose as being started manifesting from behind me.
"BEAR WITNESS! MY STANDO POWEA!"
And behind me stood the main stand of part four JOJOs.
"KUREIJI! DAIYAMONDO!"
Fortuna looked completely baffled at what I was doing.
It was honestly worth it considering I only used ten charges and many time based powers and few projection master powers.
I then pointed my finger at the cell near me that had the molten rock guy and Crazy Diamond went towards him.
Fortuna finally regained her composure and asked." What are you doi—!" But I pointed my finger at stopping her from speaking and smirked at her.
"Ay don't worry about it big dawg I don't need whatever powers these guys got because I can always just wait for a few days and I will be able to do whatever power they have and better!"
She looked at me for a second with her mouth wide open before shaking her head and saying. "Your so unbelievable…"
I posed for secondand then said. "Oh and before I forget." And then I pointed my finger at her and said. "DORA!"
She looked half amused half completely confused before she realized what I did.
"You…"
Her mouth was wide open as I looked at her with a smile.
"Yup." I said as I looked at her shocked face. "And just so you know. It wasn't that I didn't trust you to path me completely it was just that I didn't like precognition powers at all."
And yeah I let her path me. Yeah I was being a whinny little shit because I thought precognition to be a annoying power.
I then looked at Crazy Diamond as he reached the molten rock guy.
He then started hitting while yelling his signature stand cry.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!!!"
After Crazy Diamond hit him for over minute what was left of the molten rock guy was just a guy.
He also looked to be pretty ugly too.
He slowly started waking up and said.
"Huh…? Where am I?"
I smiled as I looked at him.
"Welcome to hell Michael!"
He then looked at with a angry expression on his face and said.
"Who the hell do you think you are talking to—!"
But before he can Crazy Diamond bitch slapped him across the face.
"Who am I?" I said with a smirk on my face. "Your worst nightmare! Hahaha!"
Beside me was Fortuna who looked really amused.
"You're such a weird guy…"
She said while looking me with a amused face.
"Ouch." I said pretending to be hurt.
