Steve knew that there had been a lot of rumours that surrounded his absence from school and his physical changes, everything from the sublime to the grotesque. Nothing even came close to reality. It was like some sort of Muggle movie.
"I..."
Steve struggled with where to start, and how to not overwhelm Meru.
"I didn't do this voluntarily," he said in one quick breath, motioning to his body.
"The people who took me and Bu..."
The name stuck in his throat.
"They also took my father's notebooks. They did the same thing as you did, but with far more information. They experimented on us."
Steve pressed his leg up against Vincent, centering himself as much as he could. This was a conversation he needed to have and he needed to be able to get through it.
