This chapter contains: Kidnapping of one of the main characters. His name is James. Other charcaters include Toad and unnamd guards
I whimpered behind a cloth gag the guard had tied around my face. My hands were tied behind me preventing me from pulling the disgusting rag off. Despite my full awareness of how the ropes dug into my skin I pulled them in each direction trying to get them loose. Sore and rubbed raw, my wrists went numb and I went limp from the exhausting struggle. I looked around the Armored car that I'd been thrown in. Another super-powered mutant had been caught with me and he now sat across from me, not at all afraid of the men on either side of us. The other mutant had green skin and didn't look interested in talking or doing anything. I scrunched my nose at what was most likely his scent; molding gym sock. He caught my stare and gave me a quick wink, like a reassurance that he knew what was coming next. We both flinched and looked up as a thud sounded on top of the Car.
The car kept moving at it's steady pace as the guards in the back with us went on defence. Two gunshots sounded and the car swerved before righting its course. One guard in the cab was yelling at someone. Another shot sounded and the car swerved again.
"Bloody Hell! Whats going on!" The green mutant yelled, smug look on his face from before wiped clean.
"Shut up." One guard snapped at green mutant stuck his tongue out. Suddenly he fell out of his seat as the car flipped. I screamed as I was thrown out of my own seat and crashed into one of the guards, hitting my head against his gun. The car stopped moving after several rolls.
The doors creaked and groaned in protest to opening. I squinted against the light that started to trickle in and blinked stars from my eyes. The green mutant grumbled as he got to his feet.
I looked at the shadow of the person pushing open the doors. The green mutant let out a hefty laugh, "About time, Camen. I thought you forgot about me." He stated with an amused smirk.
The person scoffed "Damn it wrong armored car." She said sarcastically "Let me get that off ya."
I slowly got to my feet, I could feel something warm and sticky running down my forehead. The green mutant jumped out and held his arms up as the woman, Camen, shot the power inhibitors off.
"Ya Comin' Kid?" She looked at me. I nodded and limped out careful not to trip on the guards. I glanced up at the woman who towered over me.
"Ooh that's going to scar." She hissed and pulled my gag off. I nodded again, unable to speak somehow, as she undid my bindings. Reaching up, I touched my forehead and looked at my fingers seeing the thick red liquid on them. Just the feel of it made me dizzy and I stumbled before the ground came swirling up to meet me.
The woman scoffed, as she picked me up and hefted me over one shoulder "Welcome to DC kid."
I groaned as I started to come too, the fluorescent lights above me not helping the pounding headache in my skull. I gave myself some time for my eyes to adjust then took a look around. I had to pull my bangs out of my eyes to get a clear view, and I found a set of IV's taped to my arm making them feel a little heavy. I was alone in what looked like a hospital room. My head throbbed as I touched it's bandage. What happened…? I sat in confusion for what seemed like half a second before the events of last night came flooding back right to the moment I fainted. The memory of the blood on my face and hands was enough to make my stomach churn until I heard a loud shout from outside of the room.
"What do you mean you won't release the kid!" A brit yelled.
Sitting up I glanced out of the open hospital door. Deciding that it would be best to get out of this place as quickly as possible I tried to get to the exit. Tentatively I pulled back the thin sheet that covered me and set my feet on the freezing linoleum floor. I attempted a first step and my knee buckled. I caught myself on the bed rail and a piercing wail sounded beside me. I glared at the machine that started an alarm. The machine silenced and I pulled the IV out of my arm, wincing from the slight pinch.
I glanced around once more and saw that my regular clothes had been replaced by a hospital gown. Great- new mission: first find cloths, then break out. I crept towards the door and looked through it into a long hallway.
The man from earlier was standing by the wall opposite me. Goggles hung around his neck. He wore a loose shirt, jeans, and a troubled frown. A shadow caught my attention; the woman who saved us.
"Sir, you will let us leave with him. Or you'll become one of your own patients." The woman said. She got threateningly close to the doctor, enough to make him back up into a food cart. I saw the doctor gulp and stammer.
"Y-You can't leave with a John Doe." The doctor tried to explain. "Look, I do not have any information on this young man, or even any proof he has a connection to you. You cannot leave with him just because it conveniences you. I'm sorry." Two guards came up behind the doctor.
"Is there a problem?"
"Yes they're trying to leave with a patient who has no identity."
The woman shared a look with the man who had moved back to her side and nodded. She dipped her head and backed away. Following, he slipped closer to the wall and stuck to the wall. The woman smirked and waited for the guards to follow. One got close and she whipped out a gun. She shot him non fatally and the guard went down. The other pulled his gun out when a green object wrapped around his neck.
I looked over and saw it was the green man's tongue
The green man turned his head and the guard's neck snapped. The tongue returned to its owner and the man crawled up the wall.
"Now, You're going to let us take the kid and no one else dies." The woman said as she walked over to the guard.
"No." The doctor said in a moment of courage.
The woman stepped on the guard shoulder. He screamed out in pain. "I'll shoot him again." She loosely held the gun in her hand, pointing it at the guards head, a teasing smile on her lips.
"Y-You're bluffing." The doctor stammered.
I flinch hearing the gunshot and the blood splatter the window. Through the whole exchange I had watched in a silent horror, holding my hand to my mouth to keep me from calling out. The woman smirked and walked past the doctor and up to my door.
I backed away as she entered "C'mon kid. Toad! Let's get outta here 'fore MRD show." I went to talk but found my voice gone. she grabbed my shoulder in a death grip and Toad, (what kind of name is Toad), placed a hand on my other. I blink and suddenly were in a warehouse.
