Red Spyder
This should make things even more shocking then.
For Red, the choice was pretty easy to make. Despite Kizmat's continued arguing for Red to not trust Sincentius, to not let him do anything, Red moved towards Sin and Richard, nodding at them as he stopped just a couple feet in front of them.
"I want to know. I want to know my past. I want to know everything about it."
Sincentius and Richard grinned, seemingly delighted to hear Red's willingness and eagerness to join them, to help them see their plans through. Sincentius remaining with Kizmat by the front door of the manor to keep an eye on him, Richard led Red to a small room just off of the main hall. Inside the room was a machine unfamiliar to Red. It resembled some kind of torture device.
Noticing the questioning look on Red's face, Richard said, "Sorry for the crudity of this device. In this place, it can be difficult to obtain exactly what you need. It should be able to fully restore your memory though."
"Should be able to?" Red asked, stopping in his tracks, looking from the machine to Richard. "And what the fuck happens if it can't?"
Rubbing his chin, Richard thought for a moment before answering with, "Well, a lot of things could happen. You could lose the rest of your memory. You could end up with something like Alzheimer's. Or you could die." Smirking as Red's eyes widened in terror and anger, he quickly added, "I wouldn't worry about any of that though. Look Spyder, I know you and I have never seen eye to eye, but if you don't do this, none of us are getting out of here. So unless you have something else to say, sit in the chair."
Staring at Richard for a moment longer, Red then did take a seat in the wooden chair situated in front of the machine.
Securing a strap around Red's midsection and moving a hand to push his head back slightly, Richard then said, "Don't move. This is going to be painful enough for you as is."
Richard then used his free hand to begin turning a crank, a thin, long needle moving towards the back of Red's head, the sharp metal disappearing into his hair, piercing his flesh and then his skull, entering his brain!!! Red's body twitched as electricity then began to course through the needle, sending jolts deep into his brain!!!!!
At first, Red felt nothing but intense pain inside of his head, unable to help wondering if he'd made a mistake in trusting Sincentius and Richard. He couldn't do anything about it either, his body paralyzed due to the needle jammed into his brain. But then, he began to get flashes in his mind, almost like pictures in a photo album. Of his time before CWE and his early days in CWE. Of his time working with the NSA. Of his time spent planning the murder of Darkhag. It all came rushing back at once and now it all made sense! It was true that he was the guardian of the Gate of Wickedness!
As the machine's electrical jolts came to a stop, Richard retracted the needle from the back of Red's skull. Red's head slumped forward limply and at first, Richard wondered if he had inadvertently killed Red. Richard slowly reached out to touch Red, but before he could, Red slowly raised head, lifting his hands to rub at the sides of his head. He had a headache now. The machine had worked though and now he knew his true place!
Looking up at Richard, he stared for a moment before saying, "I remember everything."
