"I am going to prove how much braver I am, with science!"
"Yeah, sure, okay, you do that."
"Aw, you know you're going to lose."
"Where did you find these pain simulators anyway?"
"My mum knows a guy who works here," came the reply from a petite young girl sat slouching on a hospital bed. As in any hospital, everything in the room was white but the large window covering the entire expanse of one wall gave it a more modern look. Kara looked out across her shoulder to the peaceful scene outside, the sun had just begun to set, throwing flecks of gold at the clouds that reflected off the glass skyscrapers below. She was sat on the bed closest to the window and flicked her head around as she heard a chuckle from the bed beside her.
"I swear your mum knows everyone!" These words came from an equally young boy, he was moderately good looking with short, flowing chestnut hair and glowing green eyes. He always had girls chasing after him yet Kara saw Luke more as a brother than as a possible love interest. The two would always be seen together, bickering playfully at one thing or another. Today's topic of interest was bravery. More specifically who could stand the most pain. So that was what had brought them to a local hospital to try out the pain simulators.
They were sat waiting patiently, snuggled into the sheets, when the nurse walked through the large double doors. She quickly checked their vitals were healthy before proceeding to pull out two large arm bands from one of the cupboards on the far wall.
"These are what create the pain. Are you both still certain you want to go ahead?" She waited for them to nod, "They are strapped onto the arm, like so, and send fake electrical signals to the brain which mimic pain. If you wish to stop just say and I will come over to take it off. Ready?"
"Of course!" Luke smirked at seeing Kara's raised eyebrow in response to this sudden enthusiasm.
The nurse flicked a switch on both sets of controls then sat down on a comfy chair to read a book. Immediately a small tingling sensation spread across Kara's body and her ice blue eyes widened in slight shock.
"Well, I didn't expect it to feel so...unnatural." She stated while furrowing her brows.
"What DID you exp-" he was interrupted by a sharp gasp, "What?"
"I-I thought I just...it felt like a needle stuck into my arm."
"Impossible, I disabled them." The nurse calmly stated, clearly wanting to continue reading. "There might be an electrical fault though, I should probably-"
The second interruption was Kara slumping back in the sheets, having been knocked unconscious.
"What the f-"
He never managed to finish the sentence as a dozen men in SWAT uniforms and clutching guns came smashing through the large window with a few rushing to each person in the room , whilst the rest stood guard and pulled the ropes back in. One man who seemed to be the leader took out a mobile phone from inside his pocket and held it to his ear.
"We have the girl," came a dark, foreboding voice that pierced the air like a knife.
The nurse and Luke were quickly knocked out with blows to the head, as one team unhooked Kara from the machines and turned the bed so it faced the windows. A large, black jet lumbered into sight while the loading deck was lined up to the room.
"Move out!" Came the loud bark.
The room immediately sprang into action once again as the men poured into the jet, pushing the bed that enclosed Kara with them. She was still in a deep sleep, and would be for several hours, blissfully unaware of the danger swallowing her innocent world.
