While Alec was protecting the forests and plant life—it was his only life—he would not know that hunters would catch him.
Swamp Thing would be caught, and taken to some Lex Corp scientists. Of course Alec didn't let himself, however he was defeated due to his weaknesses. Now he's in some kind of confinement cell, staring into nothingness. The white LED light blinds him in his red eyes and he feels that his scales are irritating him—maybe they injected him with something.
His breathing is slow, calm, almost as if he is off, waiting for something. That is precisely what you see from above, in a transparent window that he cannot see. "Keep an eye on him, and don't do something stupid, got it, rookie?" Your superior says—you are a young biotech scientist who has the duty of his safety—Swamp Thing.
Since you are quite curious, you decided to enter the room, and you see him, dull as when you saw him five minutes ago on the floor above. It's scary, but you're brave and you approach—you swear on your life that he rolled his eyes when you approached.
His eyes, cold and reddish, look at you, inside, Alec can't help but think that you are a pretty girl, he also can't help but think that you look a little like an old flame named Linda Holland. Just remembering her face makes his scales stand up. Unfortunately, you're just a scientist who not only sees it as cute, but you also want to save it, but your position doesn't allow it—you are just a biotech scientist who takes care of a sweet and charming monster.
