(Rodeo's Containment Cell, Site-17 - 1:00 PM)
(Rodeo's Pov)
It's been hours since I've been here, my phone is with Dr. Buck, I can't sleep, I don't feel hunger and thirst as well. And I'm suffering from the worst thing that exists inside any human being and it is the most dangerous thing known to man. You want to know what it is? Well, it's called...

Boredom. Pure boredom.
"Oh.my.God. I am so booooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrredddddddd!" I said while lying on the floor face first.
You heard me, I am lying on the floor face first, suffering and dying of boredom. Mostly I would check my phone to cure my boredom, but it's not with me so yeah I'm like this.
And may I remind you, my face hasn't made any new expressions. It's still the same, because that's how Killer Queen's face works. No matter what emotion I bring out, my face stays stoic. And my mouth can't open and my eyes never blink, which is kinda creepy if you think about it.
I let out a sigh, "I wonder if Dr. Buck found the address I mentioned to her?"

(Not Far from Rodeo's Containment Cell)
(Third Person Pov)
Dr. Buck and Dr. Collingwood were heading for Rodeo's Containment cell. Dr. Buck was planning an experiment for Rodeo, which involved a certain young girl.
"Buck, are you sure about this? Experimenting with 053, can be... you know risky for him." Dr. Collinwood said feeling worried.
"He's shown immunity towards 049's touch. Maybe he might survive 053's anomalous powers as well."
"I saw the footage, Buck, and I was also surprised that he survived 049's touch but he's just a... boy."
"A boy with the power to literally blow up things into atoms... And leaving no trace. We have to do what's best, Collingwood, understand these anomalies and entities, so that we can prevent disasters from happening."
"I know but if we treat him like a monster, he might get affected mentally."
"Well, he will just have to prepare himself then."
Both doctors finally reach his containment cell and Dr. Buck opens the door with her level 3 key card and the door opens. And to the doctors' surprise they found Rodeo lying on the floor face first.
"Uhh, Rodeo are you alright?" Collingwood asked.
"...Hm? Yeah I'm fine." Rodeo said, lifting his face from the floor in extreme boredom.
"Then why are you on the floor?" Buck asked nonchalantly.
"I'm suffering from boredom, Dr.Buck that's why I'm lying on the floor face first."
Dr. Buck & Dr. Collingwood can only look at him with a deadpan face.
"Can you please get up from the floor?"
Rodeo gets up from the floor and looks at them. Then Rodeo says, "Ok I've been here for hours now, so can you explain to me where you two have been all this time?" He said a little bit frustrated.
"One, we were writing a report regarding today's incident, two we had to get 049 to the infirmary, three got you an scp designation number and four tried to find your address which we did but the names you gave don't exist."
Rodeo was shocked by this information. He then asked Buck.
"What do you mean don't exist?"
"We found the address yes, but the names and phone numbers you gave just aren't there. We even checked your photos, but we found nothing from that as well."
Rodeo was in complete and utter shock, he slowly sat on his bed and looked down with sadness even though his face didn't show that emotion.
"So... I'm stuck here right?"
Collingwood sat next to him and pats him on the back and says to him, "Rodeo, I know you had high hopes, but believe me there are good people here who will treat you nicely and who knows in time maybe you will see your parents. You just need to have patience."
Rodeo looked at her and saw she was smiling at him to reassure him that things will be alright.
"Thanks, Dr. Collingwood." He said with some of the sadness going away from his body.
"You're welcome. So did you get some rest?" She asked.
He shook his head in response, "Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep. Nor was I able to feel hungry or thirsty. So no, I didn't get any rest."
Dr. Buck and Dr. Collingwood were surprised by this.
"So you're saying you don't need any sustenance to keep yourself alive?" Dr. Buck asked.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Well this is an interesting development. Anyways," She pulls out Rodeo's phone from her lab coat pocket, "...here's your phone."
Rodeo then gets up and approaches Dr. Buck to take his phone from her, but then Dr. Buck says.
"We wish to conduct an experiment regarding your immunity."
Rodeo then stops and is about to take the phone but then Dr. Buck puts it back in her pocket, much to Rodeo's dismay.
"Did you even listen to what I said?"
"Look Dr. Buck, I'm bored and I don't care about your experiments. Since I know most of them end up... killing someone. So would you kindly give my phone back, so that I can at least kill some of my boredom."
"No." She said coldly.
Dr. Collingwood gets up and says, "Buck, just give him the phone."
"I will give him his phone back, unless he agrees with doing the experiment we planned for him."
"Ugghhh! Finnne, I'll do your stupid experiment but if things go south, I..."
Dr. Buck cuts him off and says, "Don't worry, this experiment involves a child scp."
"A child, you say?" Rodeo said, rubbing his chin with his right hand in curiosity as to who this might be.
"She goes by the name of SCP-053, also known as "The Young Girl"."

(Rodeo's Pov)
Of all the child scps, she could have thought of her.
Why Abby? Why the girl that has the power to literally make people go insane and die of heart attacks was the only one she could think of. I'm not mad it's just that I'm not sure if I will survive her anomalous powers once I go near her. But wait, Dr. Buck said this experiment was to check my immunity right? Of course you idiot, she said it right in front of you.
Ok back to the point, since I survived 049's touch who knows maybe I might survive her anomalous powers.
"Alright, I'm ready." I said, nodded in agreement.
"Rodeo, are you sure about this? Once you go in we're not sure whether you will survive." Collingwood said worried.
"I know but don't worry, I'll be fine. I survived 049's touch so who knows maybe I might survive 053's powers as well."
"That's what we want to know. Come on, let's go."

(Inside an elevator)
(Third Person Pov)
Rodeo, Dr. Buck and Dr. Collingwood were inside an elevator, heading for the floor where 053's containment cell is and Rodeo was singing Old town Road.
"🎶Can't nobody tell me nothing. You can't tell me nothing. Can't nobody tell me nothing. You can't tell me nothing.🎶"
Dr. Collingwood found it quite nice that he was trying to keep himself, as calm as possible but deep down she knew, he was worried since he knows or might know about 053's powers, since in the interview he mentioned that he knew about 049's abilities.
This made her curious as to how he knew about the foundation and the multiple horrors that exist in it.
The elevator stops and the doors open and Rodeo stops singing.
"Well that was fun while it lasted."
"I didn't know you could sing." Says Collingwood.
"I mostly don't, I just sing when I feel like it. It's a nice way to keep yourself energized and active, if you know what I mean."
Dr. Buck on the other hand just got off the elevator and walked down the hallway, Rodeo and Dr. Collingwood got off the elevator as well and started following Dr. Buck.

(Few minutes later)
They finally reached 053's containment chamber, and in front of them was a steel door.
"Alright, your job is simple. Go inside 053's chamber and interact with her and if you do survive, I will give back your phone. Now remember, don't use her as an escape goat otherwise you might face consequences."
"Are you always like this, Dr. Buck?"
"It's my job. Now, are you ready?"
"Yes I am!" Rodeo said while doing the Avdol's 'Yes I am' pose.
"Oook. Good luck." She said being a little bit weirded out by his bizarre pose.
Rodeo looks at the door and then Dr. Buck opens it with her keycard. And then Rodeo goes through the door and then the door closes behind him.
There was another door in front him which had a button to open it. He presses the button and the door opens to reveal quite a big room. It had a bed, the walls had flower patterns painted on it, there was a table which had some books on it and there was a box with toys in it. He looked around but found 053 nowhere to be seen.
"Where is she?"
"Hello there." Said a cute girl's voice.
Rodeo looked down and saw none other than Scp-053, standing in front of him. Since she was small, he did not notice her standing in front of him due to him being taller than her and also he was busy looking at the room.
She was wearing a flower type dress and had brown hair and brown eyes and looked like she was 3 or 4 years old.
[IMAGES]
Rodeo wanted to smile because of how cute she was, but since he is Killer Queen so his face stayed stoic.
"Uhhh, who are you? O.O "
"My name is Rodeo. Otherwise known as "Killer Queen."
053 laughs and then says, "That's a very funny name. My name's 053 but my real name is actually Abby."
———
(Rodeo's POV)
I was all too familiar with her powers , but deep down she's a nice person no matter how dangerous her powers were. And I already knew her name was Abby since I'm a lore buff.
Then I said to her, "So this is your room, huh? It's quite nice."
"Hm? O.O "
I looked at her and noticed she was looking at me and thinking about something.
"Something on your mind, Abby?"
"I was wondering why are you pink? Do you like pink?"
"Uhhh no, my dear Abby. I don't like pink and I'm pink because I was born like this."
Nice save, me. Let's hope she doesn't ask more questions.
"Why do you look like a cat? Why isn't your mouth moving? Why aren't your eyes blinking? Where did you come from?"
Let's just say she bombarded me with more questions, but hey she's a child so, of course she will be asking me.
"Abby, slow down. I can't answer all of your questions."
"Ok." She said with a frown.
I kneeled down to her level and looked at her. I patted her on the head and then I said, "To make it easy for you, you can call me big bro, if you're ok with it."
"Ok, big bro :D " She said with a cute smile.
My God, she's so cute. I decided to sit on the bed and look at her, and she then took out a piece of paper and started drawing something on it using crayons.
She then asked me something, "Hey, big bro."
"Yeah, Abby?"
"Do you ever wonder why we're here?"
"That my friend, is one of life's greatest mysteries. Why are we here exactly? Do you know why you're here?"
Abby continued drawing, but then she looked at me and said, "I think the reason I'm here is because I'm special. Did they tell you about what I do to people?"
"You make them angry for some reason."
"Yeah, that's what they told me. But because of that I lost my mom, dad and... Cory. I keep blaming myself for them being *sniff* gone." She said with visible tears in her eyes.
I quickly lifted her up and hugged her and saied, "Abby, never ever think that it's your fault. If you keep blaming yourself, you will never feel peace. I know you lost some people, because of those powers and I'm pretty sure they were good people but never ever blame yourself. Ok, Abby?"
"Ok, big bro. *sniff* I won't." She hugged me tightly.
I put her down and wiped away her tears and then I asked her, "Ok, what are you drawing exactly on that paper?"
"Oh, I forgot big bro. Please can you give me some time, it's not ready yet."
"Ok, I will be sitting on the bed then."
I sat on the bed, and kept looking at her. I wasn't sure what she was drawing, but I'm pretty sure it was something that she wanted to show to me only.
It broke my heart to see her in tears. Those who are born with powers that can save or destroy mankind, don't live an easy life. Abby was one of those who didn't have an easy life, she lost her Mom and Dad all because she was born with powers.
But I wonder, who is this Cory? I wanted to ask her, but it would only make her feel more bad if I asked her.

(15 minutes later)
"Ok it's done."
I looked at her and she was smiling at her drawing. But I wonder what she made. She then looked at me and sayed.
"Big bro, come take a look."
I got up and kneeled next to her and she showed me her drawing. It was a crayon drawing of me and her. Even though it was a rough childish drawing, I liked it nonetheless.
"Nice drawing."
"Thank you, big bro." She said happily.
I looked at the drawing and it reminded me , when I was in kindergarten and used to just make scribbles and what not and it used to be fun back at... home.
(Emotional Music Starts)
Home. My Mom, my Dad, my Brother, my Uncle and Aunt, and my Grandparents and My cousins. All of them. It's funny you know, I just arrived here today and I'm already starting to remember about the old days, knowing I could never go back.
It was a good and awful feeling. Your happy that you remember the good times, but are feeling awful since you know you can never leave and... see the one's who loved you and cherished you, ever again.
(Abby's Pov)
I saw big bro just looking at the picture, not saying anything. But then he started gripping his fingers on the drawing I made tightly and I saw his face didn't change, he had the same face when he showed up. But then I saw... tears coming out of his eyes and falling down his cheeks.
Big bro was alright some minutes ago. But what worried me was that while he was crying, his eyes didn't blink and his mouth didn't move.
I then asked him, "Big bro, are you ok?" I asked, worrying about him.
But he then gets up and looks at the drawing and keeps it inside his— Whoa! He just opened his stomach and kept my drawing inside of it, then he looked at me and sayed.
"Thanks *sobs* for the drawing *sobs* Abby. I'll...*sobs* cherish it *sobs* forever."
He then opened the door and left the room.
"You're welcome. Big bro, Rodeo."
I just hope he stays ok.
