The Flow of Energy ~ Cyro
When everything you loved disappears and you remember every detail you tend to feel confused, betrayed, hurt and lost.
Movement woke me from my deep sleep. Cyro.
I was never a scientist or in the army or a marine. Only family connections brought me here and away from the shit hole they called home.
A bright light blinded my grey eyes as I moved out of the slot. I let my eyes adjust to the bright light before looking to my left to see other Cyro capsules opening like morgue drawers.
A tech in medical scrubs floats weightless towards me. "Are we there?" My voice sounded hoarse from the lack of speech.
"We're there, Beautiful" The med tech says patting my shoulder and floating off somewhere.
I pull off the Velcro that held me down and I now floated in zero-g.
Holding onto the side I pushed myself to some lockers across from me.
I never wanted to be here but I had no choice. The only thing I had left from my so called family was a book with a note stuck to it.
"People, you have been in Cyro for five years, nine months and twenty-two days. You will be hungry, you will be weak. If you feel nausea, please use the sacks provided for your convenience. The staff thanks you in advance" The med tech announced.
Like I said I'm no scientist, no marine or in the army I'm just a miserable girl whose parents happened to be best friends with the chief of security who plans to destroy the most beautiful planet for money. Yeah they're that fucked up.
I felt a pull downwards as we entered Pandora's atmosphere. The crew chief stomps down the aisle yelling but I couldn't hear him due to the ear buds in my ears blasting; Knives and Pens by Black veil brides.
I pulled one ear phone out hearing the last of his lecture "-Let's nobody be dead today, it looks bad on my report"
The crew chief, an African/American man with a one piece dark ivory green uniform, stopped in front of me long enough to yell "Exopack on, let's go!"
Everyone hurried to get their exopack on while I took my time I glanced at the guy next to me to see him trying to get into a wheelchair.
Wonder how he got here.
They all stood lining up into queues in the aisles, with their duffels ready and masks on. Everyone's face looked tense and expectant while I smirked at them, placing my earphones firmly into my ears I waited for everyone to leave.
I stood not before glancing back at the wheelchair guy. I was debating.
Should I help him or not.
The crew chief slipped on his own mask before motioning everyone out while yelling at them, most likely to get out.
They jog across the exposed apron towards a walkway covered in chain link which leads to the complex. I sighed, pulling out my left ear bud "Hurry it up twinkle toes" I said to the wheelchair guy.
He looked up at me and stared before glaring at me most likely registering what I had said. A smirk lifted onto my lips.

Fike and I stood inside the chain-link tunnel looking at the new recruits that passed by "Look at all that new meat." I laughed.

"And who are you?" Wheelchair asked, his glare still in place. "Mavis".
"What about you twinkle toes?" I smirked his glare turning harder "Jake Sully" I nodded in return my face turning blank as I glared out into the outside of the craft.
"Let's go" I said walking off down the ramp not bothering to get his bag I knew his type they never want help because they want to prove themselves. I could tell that when he spoke those first 4 words to me.
"Hey! Hey wait up!" Jake yelled I stopped looking behind me seeing him haul his duffel onto his legs before quickly rolling after me.
When he was about a few centimetres behind me I started walking "Why did you stay behind?" He asked coming up next to me.
My only response to him was a shrug "Because" He didn't push and this made me start to think we'd be good friends. Truth is I feel comfortable around him and I somewhat understand him.

"Check it out man. Meals on wheels." Fike nudged me motioning me towards a guy in a wheelchair and a chick.
"That is just wrong. But who is that?" I asked eyeing her up.
"No way could he pick up that!" Fike said gesturing towards wheels.
"Wouldn't I like to tap that" I said licking my lips, my eye lingering.
XXX Mavis's POV XXX
I focus on my media-nano player as Jake looked around when suddenly I was pulled back to him. "Wha-" but I didn't finish my question as a huge tractor, taller than a house, roars passed on muddy wheels. We notice something sticking out of the tires..arrows. I smirk at the sight.
Still fighting.
Once the things out of our way we start off again "What're you two limp dicks starin' at?" Jake snarled at two guys that were standing there hairy eyeing his wheelchair.
"Seen a lot of guys leave this place in wheelchairs. Never seen anybody show up in one. How you going sexy" Jake glared at them but I continued to walk on "Leave me alone dickface" I snared glancing at him.
The guy next to him looked like he was trying to retain his laughter. I could tell they were Sec-Ops because they didn't act like them.
"You are not in Kansas anymore..." I knew whose voice that was from thousands of light years away. Miles Quaritch. Chief of Security. My 'parents' best friend.
"...You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second of everyday." Jake roles in while I follow regretting ever being here. I watch as Quaritch raises his hand and points out the window, towards the dark tree line.
"Out beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubees." The room is quiet and that nerves me. I finally walk in avoiding his gaze as I could very well feel it on me. I walk over to a metal table that was empty and pulled myself up staring at the floor the whole time.
"We have an indigenous population humanoids here called the Na'vi. They're fond of arrows dipped in neurotoxin which can stop your heart in one minute. We operate, we live, at a constant threat condition yellow" His gaze was burning and very irritating but I restrained myself.
"As head of security, it's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed." He pauses finally pulling his gaze away from me making me breath with relief "Not with all of you. If you wish to survive, you need a strong metal attitude, you need to follow procedure..." He rambles on but my mind turns to the Na'vi. I glance at Jake seeing him watching intensely to the lecture or dazed at least.
Nothing like an old-school safety brief to put your mind at ease.
People are roaming in both directions, looking for rooms, lugging duffels and cases. Jake had offered to take mine and with the look on his face I didn't want to argue.
I was watching everyone that came into close range to me not including Jake who was also looking at everyone when suddenly someone came up to Jake and instantly I could tell he was an Xenoanthropologist by his eagerness.
"Hey, you're Jake right? Tom's brother? You look just like him." I watched the guy curiously as Jake gave him a weary look.
"Sorry, I'm Norm Spellman, I went through avatar training with him." Norm offers his hand to Jake which he accepts "Uh Norm this is Mavis" Jake mentioned motioning his hand to me.
"Hi as you probably already know my name is, I'm Norm Spellman, I'm an Xenoa-" "Xenoanthropologist" I cut him off he stared at me for a bit before blurting out "Do I know you?".
"Apparently so, Jake just told you my name" Norm rolled his eyes but continued to stare.
I blinked at him pulling Norm out of whatever trance he was in before turning to Jake.
I put my ear buds in blocking them out as I scanned everyone's face and eyes. They were all so easy to read some were miners, some cat-machine drivers, engineers, geologists and so on as they rush around.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt Jake grab my sleeve he looked up at me something in his eyes said follow and don't leave that made me smirk but I followed anyways.
We walked into what looked like the Bio-lab. I pulled out one of my ear buds to listen to the scientists that I'm suspecting is one of the many creators of our avatars.
Me, Jake and Norm were here to drive these remotely controlled bodies called avatars. They're grown from human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives here.
I looked around spotting three ceiling-height acrylic tanks. Entreated it was like an unknown force pulling me to an amino tank.
Inside was a petite but strong figure floating languidly inside, which looks like a women. A very large, Very blue, Women. The petite figure turned revealing a beautiful face of what looks like my avatar. Her nerves flinched as she floated in the blue liquid. Her long tail wraps around her leg like a vine, Her legs were long, slender and I bet any guy would want to touch her.
Her torso was long, strong and petite and looked like a supermodels body, her shoulders were broad but delicate and feminine. Her arms flexed showing her muscle tone. Her hair was a jet black but what was different was that she had like a sort of fringe that swept over her right eye with honey blonde tips that touched her cheek.
The flecks or 'freckles' shone brightly on her face like everything wouldn't live if she didn't.
"-This is your avatar now Jake" I heard Norm's voice, I looked over my shoulder to see a scientist, Norm and Jake all looking at his avatar.
Reluctantly moving away from mine I walked over to Jake's placing my hand on the glass. Strangely enough the large blue figure slightly gravitated towards my hand. Strange.
"Your Mavis right?" I looked to my right to see the scientist I nodded my expression not changing. "Yours we had some trouble with. As you can see the fringe but your eyes is the real trouble...they're a fluorescent violet, now normally the Na'vi eyes are yellow or amber but your abilities is what caught us most." He explained, I looked at him confused.
"Over here" He said motioning for me to follow him.
He brought up a split picture one side was my brain the other my DNA but it was red and blue with hints of purple as the two colours fused together. "When we were fusing your DNA with the Na'vi it reacted dramatically to a point that we thought we wouldn't be able to create your avatar. You see some of the DNA fused into crystals with your blood, which is not normal. Not knowing what to do we tried defusing it but was unsuccessful. The next day we came back and well it was 'fixed' you could say but it had turned a bright yellow." He said pointing to things and fragments of my brain and DNA.
"So..." I trailed off "So you have faster abilities, quieter movements, Stronger than a regular female Na'vi and unbelievably she responds to music very well. Not to mention your increase of hearing things better than the Na'vi. She's Graces favourite. But the real thing that shocked us was when a plant we had been growing nearby had grown rapidly over night and had cocooned itself around your Na'vi's tank." I nodded not really getting any of it only little bits I smiled a little than looked back at Jake and Norm, they were both now staring at my avatar.
I rolled my eyes "Boys" The guy laughed holding his hand out to me "Max Cullimore." He smiled, I grabbed it giving it a slight shake "Mavis".
