Your POV

Stepping through the doors I see a group of people gathered together at the side of the front desk. I guessed it was the other interns so I joined the group. After a couple minutes a man in a black suit and red bow tie approached us. I think he's our guide.

T.G.: Welcome to Hex Incorporated. If you're here that means you've either passed the exam given to you or have been handpicked thanks to your education record. Either way congrats you're now part of the family. I'll be your guide today showing you the many floors of our building so you can find the environment most appropriate for you. If you have any questions please do ask them. Now follow me.

Timeskip

We eventually hit floor ten for genetics. Passing by there was a closed off lab. Room 88.

T.G.: Please don't mind the room to the right. One of our scientists had a little flip out of sorts last night. But they're research will be admired and cared for. Let's continue on.

The group continued on as I stayed behind and stared at the door. One look couldn't hurt anyone right? Stepping backwards I looked under the number of the room seeing a name. Professor Jessica. I wonder what happened to her? Looking around to see if anyone was looking I slipped into the room closing the door behind me as I turned the lights on. There where books everywhere scattered. Pages everywhere as well. Mostly on Arachnids and a little bit about reptiles. Picking up a couple pages I kept walking around as I eventually stepped on... Glass? My eyes then looked to the window seeing that it was shattered. Did she jump?... No something busted in. Otherwise the glass would be in the streets. Maybe it had something to do with the fight between Malice and Snake last night. Stepping away from the window I then inspected the counter. There was a dead snake that looks like it was bitten into by two fangs. Whatever happened here is definitely connected to last night. Crouching I noticed a tube with webs all over it. Black webs... Wait I get it...

Me: Professor Jessica is the Snake?

?: You're rather observant.

I jumped dropping the tube and tried to catch it only to kick it under the cabinets. I sighed before turning around seeing a woman at the door. Not just any woman, but the head of the company.

Me: Miss B-Brew.

Brew: I believe this room was closed off. But yet you came in.

Me: I-I'm sorry. I'll leave I'm supposed to be with the tour anyway.

Brew: No no hold on young man. You're not in any trouble as long as you keep what you found between us.

Me: Yes ma'am. Definitely.

Brew: Glad we found an agreement, but I'm a little surprised you found out what happened in here on your own. You're quite observant aren't you?

Me: I guess I am. It's a habit.

Brew: Not a habit. Think of it more as a skill. One that Jessica had as well. But the path she took was ill fortune. But you... You seem different.

Me: I do? I just feel like your everyday... Guy I guess.

She simply shook her head and came towards putting arm around my backside and putting her hand on my shoulder as she turned me to look at the window.

Brew: I can tell you're not your average guy. You are special I can feel it. Especially since it was simply curiosity that brought you here. That's what we need here. The more we have of that the larger the company can grow and expand bringing so much to the world.

Me: But what about curiosity killed the cat?

Brew: Nonsense. If anything it killed the Snake. Now what is your name?

Me: Oh (Y/N) ma'am.

Brew: Well (Y/N) welcome to your first day to Hex Corp. I'll have this lab fixed up for you as soon I can.

She smiled patting me on the back as she removed her hand from my shoulder. She then started to make her way out of the room as I stood there shocked.

Brew: I'm looking forward to what you bring to Hex (Y/N).

She said leaving and closing the door behind her. I just stood there astonished. Miss Brew just personally gave me my own lab. Best. Day. Ever.

Me: The gals are gonna flip. Holy crap!

I felt the need to squeal until I remembered the tune under the cabinets. Swiping away any rubble near it with my shoe. I got on my knees and reached under grabbing it with my finger tips. It was a tube with black liquid. Curiosity getting at me again I took it over to the microscope and poured it under the scope as I zoomed in. It was an element that I never saw before. After a couple seconds it started shake and change shape. I looked from the side as it turned into a Spider.

Me: Fascinating.

It then crawled slowly away from the scope as I let it crawl onto my hand. It was kind of tiny but it tickled a bit as well. Then suddenly it bit me. I didn't feel it but it kind of took me off guard. It then deformed itself and went back into the tube. I picked it up slowly and put the cap back on before

Me: That's kind of weird... I don't think anyone would notice if I took it home right?

I put the tube in my inside jacket pocket. I was about to leave until I heard glass crunch behind as I nearly had a heart attack. It was Mist.

Me: Holy crap baskets how did you get in here!?

Mist: Sorry sorry didn't mean to freak you out. Is everything okay here?

Me: You should ask Malice. I bet she took a hell of a beating.

Mist: Right... Have you seen anything suspicious around here?

Me: Suspicious? Nah everything is pretty normal here. No suspicious things going on here.

Mist: Great... Okay...

The room suddenly had an weird aura about it. Ot looked like she wanted to say something else, but couldn't manage to come out with the words. So, we both just stood there awkwardly as I slowly put my thumb up and pointed it towards the door.

Me: I'm just gonna... You know.

Mist: Oh yeah yeah. Go. I need to go as well. Uh so good day.

She said backing up slowly before disappearing right before my eyes. I stepped forward and looked around not seeing her in sight.

Me: Wicked.

Lisanna POV

I evaporated my body and moved to the top of the roof of Hex wanting to strangle myself. What was I thinking? I can't just talk to him! Lords Almighty what is wrong with me? It's like I'm trying to screw us over! I fell onto my back frustrated as I pulled on my hair wanting to tear it out. I stopped as I took a moment to clear my head.

Me: Stay on task Lisanna... Stay on task. Still need find whatever split off from Mandy. Everything will be fine.

Getting back up I inspected the vent where Amanda mentioned it went down. Trying to see if it left any if itself behind I came up empty handed. I then got a call on my phone as I pulled it out of my pocket and answered.

Me: You better be at that meeting.

Amanda: Well we are and I'm pretending I'm going to the bathroom.

Lisanna: Why?

Mandy: Because you know... Slight problem. There may or may not be a hold up on the first floor the Hex building.

Me: Of course there is.

Amanda: And (Y/N) may or may not be one of the hostages that where caught on camera.

I slapped my hand on my forehead before dragging it down my face. I'm about to join Amanda in her class because I'm not gonna lie. I'm a little ticked off right now.

Me: The Gods must enjoy my state of torment...
