Being mutant wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't locked in a cell Lauren thought. Lauren was not an average girl, and for reason that she had been taken away from her parents
and taken to a lab.
"For the safety of others," the people had said as they had locked her away. So what if I can set myself on fire, other mutants didn't have to go through this. So here she was in
a cell with four other people. There was a short thin girl with black hair that went down to her shoulders and a lone lock of hair hung in her face. She wore the same lab gowns
as the rest of the girls locked in the cell, but on her wrist she had a bracelet. It beeped every now and then, but Lauren knew it was for something else than show. The girl's eyes
were green and had a crazed look to them. Blood lust shone in her eyes.
One girl had blank eyes which stared straight ahead and never moved, she was attached to some machine that was on the wall. That girl had light brown hair and brown eyes.
The final girl had silver eyes and silver hair. She had bracelet on too and her eyes were cold and hard. She looked at everything with hate and spite.
Lauren had been forced to wear a bracelet too and when she had put it on she couldn't conjure up fire anymore. The devices had something to with stopping the mutants'
abilities. So here she was just sitting.
"Hi, I'm Lauren." They just starred at her, except the brown haired girl attached to the wall, who did not even flinch.
"Um, don't you talk?" Lauren asked.
"Yes," the black haired one answered, her voice had a mischievous ring to it.
"Err, what's your names?" Lauren asked hesitantly after a moment.
"And you care because?" the silver girl spat venomously.
"Because I'm bored," Lauren answered instantly disliking the silver girl.
"My name is Jasmine, but everyone just calls me Virus. The quiet kid is Marissa and don't bother talking to her she's in a coma. The ugly one is Amanda and don't bother
talking to her either she hates everything and everyone," Jasmine offered.
"Virus? What's that for?" Lauren asked.
"Her powers of course, moron," Amanda answered angrily.
"Yep, that's it, what's your name?" added Jasmine.
"What are your powers?" asked Lauren curiously.
"How rude of you, I asked you your name. You're not that polite are you?" said Jasmine with a fake pout.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm Lauren."
"Okay so le powers de moi are, how do I explain this? Well I'm a human virus. I can infect things," Jasmine said.
"Huh?" Lauren asked, completely clueless.
"I can infect people bodies by merging with them and then I can take control of them. I can infect people by just touching them. I can infect the ground and earth too, and after I
can move the objects I've infected. I can also infect people with deadly viruses. Little miss chatterbox over there controls the weather through her emotions, oh and natural
disasters. Miss sunshine here has some sort of liquid metal for blood and can pop spikes from her body, as well as other things, like her and a metal overcoat," said Jasmine
naming off all the powers.
"I can set myself on fire without burning my skin and fly with it. I can also control fire. The fire I make and control is also waterproof," said Lauren.
"Whatever," said Amanda.
"So how long have you been here Jasmine?" asked Lauren.
"Don't call me Jasmine, I gave up that name when my parents ditched me. I've been here for 8 years," answered Virus/Jasmine. Right then Lauren decided not to let her hopes
life about leaving.
