Too much blabbering, sorry about that….
Beep, beep
Beeping sound filled the laboratory, computers, and ten test tubes. The chamber was dark, the only lights in the room was lights from computer screens. Though being very faint the room was really dark. Typical scenery you would see at movies with mad scientists having experiments on weird subjects.
On the tubes there were small child inside each of them, wearing an air mask, due to the fact that the tube was filled with neon green colored liquid keeping them alive. But it seemed that they were asleep since they all had their eyes closed. On the first tube was a boy with purple hair, wearing white shirt and short pants of the same color and was in bare feet.
The second tube had a boy wearing same outfit but the boy had green hair.
The third tube had a girl with brown hair, same white shirt and pants went for the girls as well.
The forth tube had a raven haired boy who was smacking his lips as if he was dreaming about eating something.
The fifth one contained a girl with long blue hair, floating in the water. She seemed to be the youngest of them all because she was the smallest.
The sixth one had red haired girl, she didn't have a mask on.
The seventh was another brunette girl this time her hair long as the blunette's.
The eighth one held a brunette boy who was more high up than the other children.
The ninth one contained a girl with midnight black hair who had her blue eyes open unlike the others who had theirs closed. The girl blinked but didn't seem to realize the situation she was in.
The last one had a blonde hair boy his body flicking, changing frequently from a bird to the boy, then to a dog, etc.
"Is #8 fine?" The man in a lab coat asked.
"Yes sir, do you want me to take him out?" A woman answered and the man nodded. The woman hit a button draining the liquid out and taking the small boy out. She pulled the mask off of the boy's face causing him to whimper. "Shh…" The woman shushed him. The boy was around age of 6. The woman carefully handed the boy to the man who placed him on a counter.
"The weight is moderate, the liquid must be effecting him. Take him to the room #8." The man told the woman who nodded as she picked up the sleeping boy, walking out of the chamber. The man sighed and looked at the first tube. The plum haired boy had his eyes opened, staring at the eyes of the scientist. The scientist walked up to the boy whose eyes followed him.
"Is everything alright in there?" The scientist asked. The boy glanced down at the bottom of the tube, which had controlling button.
"No, I'm not letting you out." The man said as he shook his head. The boy blinked few times and looked away from the man and stared at the other children in the tube.
"Son…." The man said but the boy ignored.
"Professor Shinji, please come quick, we have a problem." A researcher shouted and Professor Shinji ran out. The boy stared at the man's back as he ran out. He tugged at the wires strapping his arms but he went back to sleep soon.
Professor Shinji opened the door and saw the boy, awaken, floating in the air.
"What's the problem here?" He asked the other researchers.
"He can't move around while floating." A female researcher answered the brown haired man's question.
"Give me his gene." Shinji said as a researcher plucked the boy's hair out. He winced and rubbed the part. The professor took the gene and walked out of the room with a grey haired researcher.
Few days passed and the boy started to move around while floating in the air.
"It's working perfectly sir!" Researchers cheered in happiness and the six-year-old clapped just because the others cheered.
"Put the boy back to the tube, we will work on number 9 now." Professor Shinji said and the boy scowled. He wailed as if he didn't want them to go away but Professor Shinji ignored the poor boy and walked out of the hall. Other researcher picked the boy up and walked to the chamber with tubes.
Professor Shinji waited until the researchers returned with number 9. Small girl glared up at the professor. Shinji smirked as he ran his fingers through his brown hair. This girl was the hardest to design. Her genes were too perfect, her looks, her brain, everything was too perfect that the researchers did their best to prevent genes from changing much. The only thing that changed was her personality, it got sharper. He wondered where had this child come from.
He watched 10 children playing peacefully in the playground made inside the lab. It was small but it was the only place for them to relax and communicate with each other.
The only ones that were lonely were number 1 and 9. Others, especially 10 got along fairly well.
"Can I play with that?" number 5 asked. Number 3 smiled and handed the younger girl the toy. The blunette smiled and played with the ragged rabbit doll. In the eyes of the scientist that was the ugliest toy in the room yet it was the blunette's favorite thing to play with. Well despite its hideous look, it did look the friendliest.
Shinji walked away from the window, "Aren't you going to watch more?" A researcher asked.
"No. Let them play and get them into the tube after an hour." He said and the researchers nodded.
Shinji walked down the corridor, thinking about the 10 innocent life's that were being the subjects of this project. He sighed more at the thought of number 1, he ruffled his brown hair, his habit, and went to his office to get ready to leave for his home. He took his lab coat off and grabbed his suitcase and was about leave when he felt slight vibration under his feet.
He looked up as the vibration got stronger and he heard loud sound
BOOM CRASH CLASH
*Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah*
He ran out the door as soon as he heard painful and piercing scream that echoed through the walls of the lab and saw flames exploding from the direction where the playground was. He dropped his case and ran as fast as he could. He couldn't let them get hurt, any of them. Yes they are his test subjects but no, all the efforts…. It will be lost. When he reached the lab in control of the playground, the flame was too strong for a man to enter. But with loud coughing, he entered the room. There were few bodies lying on the floor, he stopped to look at the familiar people now dead.
He felt like his skin was going to melt but he kept walking toward the area where he could see through glasses. He reached the part and picked up the nearest chair to break the glass. After about 10 beats the glass got smashed and with very annoying sound it shattered to pieces. He jumped over and looked around through thick smokes.
He walked toward the exit, fanning his hand hard to avoid the smokes that were burning his eyes. He coughed hard and ran as he found a figure lying on the ground. He picked the figure up, number 1.
"Son, wake up." He said, shaking him hard. The boy groaned as he opened his eyes slightly. Shinji looked around but couldn't find more. He was desperate to save the kids but part of him knew that they were gone.
"Where are they?" Shinji asked, carefully carrying the boy back to the window. He pushed the kid over the cracked window and climbed over to get out. As soon as he got on the floor he picked the boy up and ran out as fast as he could.
"Professor!" a researcher ran toward him, coughing hard. He held up the boy and helped Shinji to get to safe place. All the researchers were there, at the room far from the burnt building, the main lab.
"Are you okay?" Another one asked.
Shinji then felt all the pain he didn't feel while rescuing the boy. He fell down to his knees and groaned in pain.
"Alive." Shinji looked at the boy, now sitting against a wall, shaking hard and getting treatment like Shinji was.
"What?" Shinji asked, suddenly feeling okay. He looked at the boy, he was looking down, staring at his hand. Suddenly Shinji was in the room where he found the boy. But, not burnt. He was standing in the middle of the room but no one seemed to notice he was there.
"Come on!" The brunette girl groaned as she played with the brunette boy. Soon the room shook hard and the familiar sound of explosion filled the room. The children were screaming hard and the room vanished and Shinji was back in the lounge.
"I can't remember more…. I was out. But I know they are alive." The boy managed to say. The illusion he just created made him use a lot of energy that he didn't even have. The boy panted hard, he looked like he was about to faint.
"Son, do you know how it happened?" Shinji asked. The researchers' eyes were all on him. The boy blinked and shook his head.
"No. I don't know." The boy looked blank. Shinji stared at the boy and sighed.
"Rest now, it had been a long day." The boy blinked more, closed his eyes and he fell asleep.
Shinji looked around, "Where's Oak?" Shinji growled, the researchers looked around but couldn't find the old man.
"Where's he?" Shinji stood up from his seat, the researcher treating him pulled him down but it was no use. "Where is he?" Shinji asked in fierce voice. The others shook their heads, indicating that they don't know anything about Oak's whereabouts.
Shinji walked to the door, he glanced behind to the boy and stormed out, followed by two male researchers.
Even after two hours of searching they couldn't find him. "Oak…." Shinji growled, punching the wall next to him.
"Sir, what should we do?" a researcher asked. They were back at the lounge. Shinji looked at the small boy, being fed by blonde female researcher. He was smiling innocently. Shinji looked down and with determined look he faced the ceiling.
-10 years later-
Paul was sitting in his usual seat. His wrists were cuffed, and so were his feet. Usual. Nothing too unusual or extraordinary. He was used to this. Paul looked around, Professor Shinji, his foster father, was right next to him. He was standing in front of him, about 1 meter away from him. The rest of the researchers were standing behind Professor Shinji, about 4 meters away from Paul. Paul glared at them. They flinched.
"Paul." Professor Shinji said and Paul lowered his head, still glaring at the red haired man in the middle of the researchers.
Paul closed his eyes and then when he opened it they were at ocean. Standing on top of the ocean water, the researchers, amazed by the improvement over 2 months. Shinji nodded and suddenly they sunk underwater. There were actually bubbles coming out as they talked. Shinji was satisfied with the improvement.
The surrounding, colorful school of fishes were swimming by. The sunlight shimmered underwater, it was beautiful.
Suddenly a researcher fell down and the others reached out to grab him. "Paul, stop!" With that they were back at the lab. Paul glared at the fallen man. He was choking out water. How pathetic, to believe this was real. Just another lousy work by the purple haired boy, an illusion to deceive people.
"How can he actually drown from illusion?" A researcher, Chloe asked, cleaning the water from his mouth. She wondered where the water actually came out but was silenced.
"For a moment he believed that it was real. That's the power of believing." Professor Shinji said. Paul closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was now 16, not that six-year-old who 'survived' the explosion.
"Can I go now?" Paul asked with annoyed tone.
"Actually there is something to assign you, you don't mind, right?" Shinji asked. Paul growled but what could he do? He nodded.
"I want you to find rest of your friends."
"I don't have friends, except for that annoying grasshead." Paul replied.
"You know what I mean." Shinji narrowed his eyes.
"You want me to find the rest of them who managed to run away from here? I am sure they are living their own happy lives and you want me to just go and destroy their life?" Paul yelled.
"They don't belong out there, they belong here like you do. They are test subjects and they belong inside the lab. Just like you do." Paul flinched, let out a low, frustrated growl and walked out of the lab.
"Paul!" A researcher, Chloe ran after him. She caught up and was now walking right beside him.
"Professor has a point you know. They can't live out there, not with that power." Paul didn't reply.
"This is the way to help them Paul. Please." Chloe said, looking up at the taller man. Paul stopped walking, closed his eyes and sighed.
"What should I do then?" Paul asked, Chloe smiled.
"I wasn't there when there was an explosion but here is the list of the abilities they have. You will have to go around the whole country to search for them. Do you have any memories about them?" Paul shook his head but grabbed the piece of paper.
"Maybe, faintly. I don't know if I could recognize them though." He said. Chloe nodded, understanding that he was so young back then.
"Change your cloth while I pack your bag." Chloe said as she patted his shoulder. Paul nodded and he went into the bathroom with a pair of black jeans, purple T-shirt, a khaki cargo jacket and black sneakers. He stuffed the paper into the pocket and looked at himself in the mirror. He blinked and looked down, he wasn't really comfortable in these clothes, he was more used to white loose T-shirt and white shorts that reached up to his knees that he wore in the lab. He didn't even wear shoes, he was more used to bare feet. But wearing like that would really grab unnecessary attention from people outside.
He walked out of the bathroom and saw a brown leather satchel. He opened it and saw a leather wallet-with 500$ on cash and few credit card-possibly made by professor Shinji for Paul, a water bottle, fresh clothes-two boxers, two T-shirts and one pair of black jeans, a gun, and a pair of black sunglasses. In the small pocket inside there were boxes of bullets. He put the satchel around his shoulder after closing the zipper and turned around to see Chloe along with her boyfriend, Robbie, another researcher in the lab.
"Here's the phone you are going to use." Robbie handed him black iPhone 5 with black jelly case.
"Call us when you need help." Chloe said, Paul didn't answer. He lowered his head to thank the two for their help and walked out of his room. He stopped when he saw Professor Shinji standing right in front of him.
"Son, I…."
"Don't say anything. I know whatever you are going to say you aren't meaning it." The old man looked hurt but hung his head while Paul brushed past him and walked out of the building then slowly heading to the gate. A black bird about a size of baguette bread flew right above him. Paul raised his arm and the bird landed on it.
"Ready, Bam?" Paul asked and the raven squawked. He smirked and lifted the arm higher and the bird flew up as the gate opened. He slowly moved toward it, and heard the gate close right behind him. He was free, well at least he felt free. He was out of that building for the first time in 4 years. He haven't seen that stupid Grasshead for that long time. The raven glided down close and flapped his wings.
"Go to Drew, we will need to talk to him." The raven immediately obeyed and was out of the owner's sight soon. Paul took a deep breath and started to walk down the road.
