Jason laughed outright at the display, finally turning his full attention to Heat. "I said everyone wanted answers didn't I? How we got here is something everyone'd like to know. Why they want us? That's another one no one knows for sure but it's pretty clear if you pay attention."

"They do weird-ass experiments on the patients - and most of 'em are metahumans just like you - and test our ability to survive while letting us know just how much they enjoy watching us fight. Put the pieces together. It's not hard."

Or maybe not. Some of these assholes really couldn't think beyond the most basic plans to make a quick buck.
