WARNING: ANTHROPORMORPHISM DETECTED, BEWARE!
Andrew and Leroy: The Federation Conspiracy
-LEROY-
I sat in my cold cell, shackles on my wrist chained to the concrete wall. I sat in here ever since my childhood. They say they're gonna put me to sleep because my natural abilities are not awakening.
Every human who came here for an experiment wanting a bodyguard, pet or just a friend refused to take me just because my abilities has not yet bloomed, and I heard another is coming, if this one refuses to take me, then I'm good as dead…I don't wanna die…
-ANDREW-
I walked down the eerie concrete hallway, with a worker leading the way. I was very lonely at home, because my parents have jobs that took up most of their time, home only for dinner, holidays and breaks.
So I asked them if I can have an experiment friend, to ease my loneliness, and they agreed, as long I'm able to keep it from destroying the house.
"Ok kid, here we go, pick anyone you want" the worker said. He unlocked the metal door and opened it for me. I entered the, what they call, the holding room. I see many cells with barred doors. I walked down the corridor, deciding what to have.
I came across a red experiment, it was huddled in a corner, shackles on his wrists which were attached to the wall. He sensed my presence, because the moment I stopped, he looked at me. His cheeks have streaks, tears. If I am correct, he was here a long time, begging, no, praying for freedom.
"This one was here long, right?" I asked the worker.
"Yeah, but you don't want 'em, he doesn't have the abilities his experiment brethren has" the worker said.
-LEROY-
No, please god, don't take my only chance to live away…Please.
"He hasn't started blooming yet, he's weak as a human, smart as a sixth grader" the worker said.
The boy's face was in thought. "Are you kidding? Look at him, he's very muscular, like those guys on those work-out ads"
"Well, I guess you got a point there…" the worker said. I stood up, legs wobbly, and walked towards the door. The boy was a little shorter then me, probably 6'2, slightly underweight, and a bit pale. Short brown hair and calm, hazel eyes.
"Seriously, why does people want experiments who are better then a human in every way?" the boy asked.
"Beats me, but I heard it can come in handy" the worker said. The boy stared deeply into my eyes, as if seeing my emotions.
"This one has been in here too long, he deserves freedom" the boy said. I could just kiss him! Except, he's a guy…
"Wha-what? Are ya sure?" the worker checked, a bit shocked the boy would pick me.
"Yes, I prefer experiments that are kind, honest and considerate then strong, smart, stuck up, and self-centered ones" he said.
The worker scratched the back of his head. "Alrighty then, but it's your choice" He took out his keys and unlocked my door, then my shackles.
I stared into the boys eyes, searching for a reason. He seemed to understand how I felt, because he spread his arms out, as if he was expecting me to hold him. I wrapped him in a bear hug, and he returned the favor.
"I got a feeling this is gonna last a LONG time" the worker said.

JOHNSON PENTHOUSE, NEW YORK CITY
42ND FLOOR
-LEROY-
"Well, here we are" the boy said. I looked around in awe. The room was fancy, there was a huge window offering a spectacular view of the city.
There was painting portraits of different people, probably his ancestors.
"And here's you're room" he said. My jaw dropped, it was amazing! A large double bed was against the opposite wall, an awesome window for another view of the city, a full-sized bathroom, and best of all, A HUGE FREAKIN SONY HD WALL-MOUNTED PLASMA SCREEN!
I heard about those a lot during my time in that rundown shelter, but I've never seen one. The boy smiled, probably as wide as a watermelon. "Oh yeah, my name's Andrew Johnson, and since I got you outta there, mind if you're last name is Johnson too?"
"Y-yes" I said, still in awe. He chuckled. He took out the paper he received and looked them over. "Ok, you are now Leroy Johnson, now, it says here, that you can choose to be my brother, or bodyguard, or simply a friend" he said.
I thought it over. "Well, I wanna be a bodyguard"
Andrew cocked an eyebrow. "Most experiments choose to be a friend or brother/sister, why is that?"
"You saved my life Andrew, I wanna return the favor" I said.
"I… I did?" he said, a little confused.
"Yes, if you didn't take me, they were going to put me to sleep" I said sadly.
"Good god, don't they know that the usual ability blooming starts from 17 years of age to 23?" he said.
"Wait, I'm 19 by human standards, so there's still a chance?" I asked.
"Yes!" he boasted.
That was a confidence booster. "Alright, then there's still time!"
"Ok, so you chose bodyguard, ya sure?" he said.
"Yep" I said. He circled BODYGUARD under my signature and walked to a device on a wall.
"Sally, could you mail this for me?" he spoke into it.
"Yes, Master Andrew" a girl responded.
"So, you have parents?" I asked.
He sighed. "Yes, I do, but their job eats up most of their time, so I only see them during dinner, holidays and their breaks" he said.
"Oh" I said, my ears drooping. "Sorry, just wanted to know"
"That's ok, you were just curious" he said.
Then a girl, dressed in some frilly black and white dress, came in.
"The mail, Master Andrew?" she said.
"Ah, yes, here you go" he said, handing her the paper.
"So, how can you afford this place?" I asked.
"My dad is CEO of a major computer corporation while my mom is the Vice President" he said.
"Wow, you're really lucky" I said.
"Yeah, that's what they all say" he said.
"Aw jeez, I didn't hit the red button, did I?" I worried.
"No, no you didn't" he said.
"Well, we should get some sleep, got a big day ahead of us" I said.
"Yeah, probably bigger for me, I scheduled a meeting with someone over in Hong Kong tomorrow at 5:30 PM" he said.
My eyes shot wide open. "You can do that?"
"Hey, what my parents won't know won't hurt em" he shrugged.
"Ok, but don't get too wild at that" I said. Great, I'm already starting to act like a parent to him.
He laughed. "Hey, I did this all the time, I know what to do"
Oh boy, if this is the price to pay for freedom, I guess I can live with it.
I looked in the drawer and got some PJ's on, very comfy. I slid under the blankets of the even more comfortable bed and fell asleep in an instant…
