I really don't have much to say on these chapters at this point. I'll be writing more in the author's notes once everything is caught up.
Disclaimer and prompt are in chapter one.
Shizuo was bored. It had only been an hour since his mom had left him there. The lady, Namie, or something like that, had brought him to his "room" and told him to stay until they were ready for him. So, there he was, sitting on his bed, which really resembled a slab of metal attached to the wall more than it did a bed, swinging his legs over the side of it.
"This place seems more like a cell than anything else. Then again, I don't think all those people just sleep here. So it makes sense." Shizuo rambled on to himself, trying to appease his boredom with words.
"Heiwajima-kun, we're ready. Come along."
"Alright." Shizuo hopped off of his bed, and followed Namie without a second thought. After all, his mom knew the woman, and said that he'd be back home soon. After that, he wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone or getting angry or breaking any of his bones.
She led him to a room that looked much like a lab. Namie lead him through it and into a room attached to it. "Heiwajima-kun, I need you to sit on this table, alright?"
"Okay." Shizuo was "used" to this. After all, whenever he went to the hospital, they always examined him to make sure that he was healthy. Namie probably just need a few measurements.
Namie left, but returned a few minutes later with a small, plain, white pill in her hand. "I need you to take this pill."
Shizuo nodded, and reached for the pill. The seven year old boy was completely unsuspecting of anything that could happen. He popped the pill into his mouth, and took the cup of water Namie offered him.
Almost immediately after swallowing the pill, Shizuo felt himself grow stiff, and found it hard to move. Namie didn't hesitate to lay Shizuo down onto the table, and strap him down with the previously hidden straps.
"It's the cross between a date-rape drug, and a muscle relaxant. The company started to develop it as soon as they got the idea that you might be coming here. We know about your strength, and your temper. Frankly, it wouldn't do us very much good if you destroyed everything or if you start to act up when we start the experimenting. You won't have to worry, Heiwajima-kun. By the time that we finish with our research, everyone will presented with the chance to have strength such as yours. Therefore, you will only have a normal amount of strength. I'm unsure if we can do anything about your temper. I assume that it'll just vanish by the time we've done a few tests. Any questions?"
Though, the effects of the pill had gotten to Shizuo, he couldn't move a muscle. He couldn't even blink, which left the seven year old staring at the unyielding light above them.
"I suppose not. I forgot to mention, for your first few tests, it will be only me who resides over these tests. After the first few, we will have some other scientists join. Now, it seems as if you don't really respond to pain. This is an incredible thing."
Namie stopped talking in order to grab a few syringes. "We've also devolved a few new drugs. Of course, no one but the scientists who worked on them know about them. These drugs circulate in your blood stream, releasing chemicals similar to the ones that your brain releases when you get injured, thus telling you that you are in pain. I'm going to find out how much of this chemical it takes for you to actually feel the pain, and we'll work from there."
Shizuo, being only seven, didn't know much about what Namie was talking about. Though, one thing did register in his mind. 'She's going to give me shots until I feel pain.'
"Let's begin."
