I know its been a real long time but heres the next chapter. Enjoy.


Chapter Two

My head was foggy when I came around. I couldn't make out anything around me. I could hear voices but that was all. Just very loud voices talking all around me.

"When will she wake up?" Asked a young man.

"When the drug wears off." The voice of William Stryker sent chills up my spines. He was the one who brought me down in one second. He knew my weakness.

"What did you shoot her with anyway?" Another voice asked. William sighed, too many questions.

"Enough!" He yelled and everything was silent except for my breathing. "Everyone out." He ordered and I could hear the shuffles of feet walking to the same spot. The room I was in was cool. My body no longer felt hot, therefor, I was no longer in need of cooling off. My body felt free of the strain. I didn't need to worry about using my powers each passing second. I could relax for the first time in years.

I was fuming inside, if he knew my weakness let that meant he knew who I was and what I truly was. The blue was liquid was literally water fused with other drugs that made me weak and unable to use my powers for a while. When he hit with the drug, my power of fire was gone and all the stress finally made me collapse. I knew of only one place that had that drug. The ones who took me all those years ago. How had he come in contact with them?

I moved my hands, feeling myself unbound. I slowly sat up, using the metal table as a help. My breathing slow and I inhaled deeply, cool air filling my lungs again. I moved my feet to the edge of the table, trying to find the strength I was forced to give up.

The door opened and I glanced at who came in. The one who was able to open the door of my old prison. Bradley.

"Stryker sent you food." He had a tray in his hands. My stomach rumbled and I flushed. I hadn't seen food in so long. He set the tray beside me on the metal table. I looked at the food suspiciously. I didn't know if I could trust any of them yet. Sure they got me out of my hell but that didn't mean I could trust them.

"Well eat. He didn't do anything to it." Bradley told me. I narrowed my eyes at him, how did he know? He sighed and gave me half of sandwich. I grabbed it, carefully biting into it. My mouth watered at the taste. I was deprived of all the good food for so long that anything tasted good. I bit into the sandwich, chewing quickly to take another bite.

"Calm it. He doesn't want you dead." Bradley said holding my hands still before I took another bite. He gave me a water bottle and I gulped half of it down. He sighed. "I give up. Just eat." He turned and walked from me, leaving me to alone to eat. I didn't mind. I liked being alone that with strangers.

I continued to eat, taking the other half and scarfing it down just as fast. I took a bite of the apple, my mouth once again watering. Anything I tried seemed to be like a first to me. The door opened again, in came William. I glanced at him while chewing. I wasn't going to stop because he was there. "Good. You have an appetite." I blinked once at him, taking another bite.

"Well I'll just get to the point then. I need you to rest up again so you'll be ready for training." I gulped down the huge lump of food in my mouth. I started to cough, the food was stuck in my throat. William hit my back twice and I finally coughed it back up. I leaned over the tray, grabbed the napkin and threw out the food in my mouth.

Once I settled myself, I glared at William. "Training? What the hell for?"

"You're forgetting that your apart of this team now. All of my men train. You'll be no exception." He spoke and turned to leave. "I got you some clothes. I'll send on of my men in here to give them to you. This is your room by the way. Enjoy it." He told me, opening the door and shutting it behind.

Anger flared through me. Was he trying to bribe me to get what he wanted? I grabbed the apple in my hand like a baseball and tossed it at the door. There was a black dent from where the apple hit. I winced when I realized I got too angry and made the apple burst into flames on the way to the door. I needed to control myself. The door opened, once again but this time the man who came in was the same person who carried me outside.

I scooted back, he scared me. He only smirked as he watched me. He was happy that he scared me. In his arms was a pile of clothing. He stepped closer to me, watching how I tensed up. He dropped them in an open space on the metal table. He stood right in front of me. He leaned closer to me and I inhaled sharply. He placed his palms on the metal table on either side of me.

He glanced at the door and whistled. "Nice aim." He smirked when my brows furrowed together. "Listen kid," I glared at the name. "William told me not to touch you so I won't. I can be a nice guy when I want to be. But if you get on my bad side, watch out."

I scoffed. "I doubt you have two sides." He laughed at my boldness. His finger traced my jaw line, his nail scraping my skin. I hissed slightly as he cut me but I did nothing. "Your already getting on my bad side."

I held in talking back. He already showed me he would hurt me, even if just a little. "Leave so I can change." I ordered him and he laughed in my face. "Won't be something I haven't seen before anyway." I glared hard at him and shoved him in the chest.

He grabbed my shirt and my hands grabbed his wrists. "Let go." I ordered, my palms heating up. He laughed again and let me go. He walked to the door. "I think I'm gonna like you. You got balls enough to stand up to me."

He opened the door and left, shutting it behind. I let out a shaky breath. He was crazy. I jumped off the table, grabbed the clothes off the table and walked to the bathroom. I quickly changed, the clothes fitting perfectly on me. I was given a white shirt and a pair of black pants. I could move so easily in those clothes. Almost like it was designed for me but the others wore the same thing. I even got a pair of socks. I left the bathroom, rushing out through the room.

William was standing outside waiting. "Let's go. You have practice in a few minutes." I nodded and he smiled, happy I was co-operating.

"Do as I say and you'll have fun here." Was all he said and I nodded again. I walked beside him down the long hall excited about training. I was going to be able to use my powers when I wanted. Hopefully everything would go well...
