Rio is pissed

Gwen has brought Reed, Johnny, and Ben to the power-dampening prison cells underneath Warden Incorporated, and put them all in their own cell

Gwen: I'm sorry, guys

Reed: What happens to us now

Gwen: not for me to say, though I'm sure Aiden will not be happy

Johnny: Shouldn't he be here to question us

Gwen: he'll be here soon, together with the mayor

Reed: The mayor?

?: Yes, the mayor

Gwen looks to her left and sees you and Rio approaching

Gwen: Welcome, mr Pearce and Mayor Rio

Aiden: Get back to work Gwen. We still have some missing people to find

Gwen: Would you mind if I stay here? They are good people, this was not their fault

Rio: You have your orders Gwen. Get lost

Gwen: I'm sorry, as you wish

Gwen leaves with a smile on her face, while Rio and you walk in front of the cells, so that all 3 members can see you two

Reed: Where's Sue

Aiden: Malice is in the lowest part of the cell block, it's the most guarded place in the entire building, we're gonna try to put Malice back to sleep and to wake Sue up

Rio: That is the least of your problems right now. Tell them Aiden

Aiden: 23 dead, 86 injured, and 13 missing

Rio: And 43 of those injured are currently fighting for their lives in the hospital, but that's not even the worst

You show them a family photo

Rio: Do they seem familiar to any of you

Reed and Johnny don't recognize them, but Ben does

Ben: oh god

Aiden: I would assume that you would recognize them Ben, since you flew threw them

Rio: They're still busy collecting their body parts

Ben: I'm so sorry

Reed: That wasn't on you. Malice threw you into the building with her telekinesis powers

Aiden: Well, I'm sure their 8-year-old son will appreciate knowing, that it wasn't on purpose

Ben: What

Rio: Their son was at a sleepover at a friend's house, so he wasn't there when the rest of his family was murdered. I had to sit him down and tell him that his entire family is dead, so congratulations, you just orphaned a kid

Johnny: Isn't that the job of the police

Aiden: The police are busy looking for survivors, so Rio went there personally

Rio: I promised the people of New York that I would look out for them, and I tend to keep my promises

Aiden: which leads to our next point, what am I gonna do with you three

Reed: Don't you mean us four? Sue's part of the team

Aiden: Sue is being taken care of right now. She's not going anywhere, I'll make sure Malice goes away

Reed: And what if you can't

Aiden: then I will have **** but to eliminate her

Reed: YOU CAN'T

Rio: WATCH YOUR TONE

Aiden: My job is to keep this city safe. If I have to put down a fallen hero to do it, I will

Johnny: What's gonna happen to us? Is the deal still on

Aiden: It's not, the deal was for you guys to become partners of Warden Incorporated, but that's off the table now, now you all belong to the company

Rio: as do all your assets

Reed: You can't

Rio: As the mayor, I can, the Baxter building is property of Warden Incorporated

Aiden: You three will go through rehabilitation to see if you can still be heroes as part of the company, just like Gwen and Black Cat, though that will take months

Johnny: It didn't take months for Black Cat

Aiden: You guys are a lot more powerful than her

Ben: Gwen said you were further along with the cure than we were.

Aiden: We are currently doing the animal trials, and we'll soon begin the human trials

Ben: test it on me

Aiden and Reed: WAHT?

Reed: Ben, don't do this

Aiden: I agree with Reed, you should reconsider. We have no idea what this could do to you without doing more tests, it could kill you

Ben: I'm no hero, I don't deserve to be

Rio: Then do it

Aiden: Rio, please, we don't know what will happen

Rio: We have a city full of powered super villains. He volunteers to test the cure, so I'm not letting this moment pass by, so either you go ahead with testing it on him, or I will fire you on the spot and replace you with someone who will

Aiden: as you wish, miss

Rio: Good, keep me updated

You unlock Ben's cell

Aiden: follow me to the lab, Ben

Reed: Ben, please don't do this

Ben: I'm sorry, but I have to, I can't do this anymore

You take Ben a couple of levels lower to the lab

Aiden: Alright then, get in that room

Ben goes into the room, and you put chains around his arm, feet, and neck

Ben: Is this necessary

Aiden: We don't know how your body is gonna react to the cure. This is just some extra security

Ben: I can break out of these chains with ease

Aiden: true, but it will give us a couple of seconds to fill this room with enough sleeping gas to knock out a herd of elephants

Ben: I hope it won't come to that

Aiden: Now, is there a place where we can inject the cure into you

Ben: My joints, the rock density is lower there, since I wouldn't be able to run otherwise

Aiden: Thank you, the nurse will be here soon to inject you

You leave the room and have a word with the nurse

Aiden: Is the serum ready, Nurse Natasha

Natasha: Do you even have to ask? Poor little Ben thinks he's about to get cured, instead, he'll become nothing more than an obedient puppet

Aiden: Just make sure he doesn't see you

Natasha: Don't worry, I won't

Natasha enters the room with Ben

Natasha: Don't worry sir, this will be over soon. Can you lift your arm

Ben does as Natasha asks

Natasha: This might hurt a bit. This is a special needle that is super hot, in order to inject you with the cure

Ben: I understand

Natasha injects the serum into Ben's joint

Natasha: It might take a few minutes to start working

Ben: Thank you

Natasha leaves the room, and you use the intercom to talk to Ben

Aiden: Can you hear me, Ben

Ben: I can

Aiden: then listen

Aiden: Longing--Rusted--Seventeen--Daybreak--Furnace--Nine--Benign--Homecoming--One--Freight Car

Ben: What are you talking about? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ben suddenly starts screaming in pain

Natasha: Looks like the serum is working

Aiden: I still don't understand why I had to say those words

Natasha: There were words to activate nanobots in the serum. This was H.Y.D.R.A's serum they used on the Winter Soldier

Aiden: and S.H.I.E.L.D had this just lying around

Natasha: S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't throw anything away that they can use themselves

Aiden: and they won't find out you took it

Natasha: I doubt it. They've left it in one of their vaults

Ben stops screaming, and you start talking again through the intercom

Aiden: Are you ready to serve

Ben lifts his head, and you can tell by his empty, cold eyes that the serum has taken over

Ben: Ready to comply
