[It was a fairly quiet day in the halls. Nothing was stirring really. The water had drained and everything was back to normal. We couldn't have that last, could we? As if in response to the quiet that had set in over the area, one of the cots in the Nurse's office could be seen flying through a wall. Through the wreckage stomped what seemed to be the angriest old man to ever be angry. Heihachi was not pleased with being here.]

Is this another one of your tricks!? Kazuya! Jin! Whichever one of you is behind this, I will find you and I will kill you with my bare hands!

[Heihachi throws a glare at Lee that would have made lesser men tremble. But not Lee. Heihachi knows full well that Lee stopped reacting to that glare years ago. Just as it should be. Still, he growls a bit before actually speaking.]

You. No wonder this place reeked of failure.

[Oh, he had to say that. Well, at least he knows better than to give in to petty insults. He still keeps his grin and doesn't flinch. Not this time. He's not the scared little boy he once was and failure, that's his path to success and he knows just how to use it.]

Ah, at least I know what I can do to correct my mistakes and I certainly won't repeat yours.

[He doesn't bother taking those steps forward. He knows better than to lend a hand. It's not one of those times. It's a subtle jab to the reveal of Lars and a few others that remain unsaid.]

As foul as this place is, you may want to consider the alternative. And I might add, you're trapped. Have fun~.

[He grins and waves his fingers.]

[Heihachi just rolls his eyes.]

Typical. You ungrateful brat. I taught you how to survive in this world, gave you the skills to make you great. And how do you repay me? Insults and betrayal. That's one thing you have in common with Kazuya, even if you are grossly inferior.

When Death itself cannot keep me caged, this mockery of a place won't fare much better.

[His inhale sounds like a soft hiss while keeping everything bottled up to the point that he just wants to tell this man to go off somewhere else. Still, he had a point but that didn't mean that Lee has to listen to it. Instead, he turns his attention from the past issues to the present.]

I never said I was ungrateful. I learned my lesson. Seeing that we're here for a while, if you see fit, why don't you break it down?

[He wanted to add 'just like everything else you touch', but he knows better. He knows he'll be bested by his father and seeing that Heihachi saw fit not to train him like his brother, Lee reserves his opinions.]

A word of caution, if I may. After a day, the walls repair themselves. I know. I broke it down too.

You didn't need to say it. You've done enough to disappoint me already.

[He scoffs.]

I will find where you, Kazuya, or Jin is running this place and I will get my freedom back. Mark my words.

[Lee has to laugh, then waves it off dismissively.]

Oh, I have no doubt you will, although you'll be very disappointed. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not working with either of them. For once, I wish I could claim this as my idea, [sighs] alas it's not.

Of course.

[He starts to survey the rest of his surroundings.]

This is far too sophisticated for you to orchestrate.

[There's a moment where Lee starts to think that an insult then smirks. He's enjoying the banter too much.]

Oh-ho! So you do have a sense of humor after all. Seriously, I hadn't seen either Kazyua or Jin around. There really is no telling, unfortunately.

[Which, seriously makes him think that Kazuya is here too. Oh, boy has he seen Anna. It's a good thing he knows not to bring up certain things.]

[Heihachi is sure trying to insult. He takes a moment though before saying anything, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes in thought for a moment.]

Kazuya is here, somewhere. I can feel it in the air. ...My father is as well.

[Why can't people just stay dead when he tries to kill them?]

[His smile drops. This isn't something he wants to hear and Lee knows just how powerful Heihachi's connection is to his family. Lee could never have that. His connection to the family is only to be used as a tool and nothing more.]

Tch. It would stand the reason you're here.

[While Lee might not like his father, he at least has to remain civil.]

So, what's stopping you from getting to them?
