Sorry it took me so long here… anyway, next one comin at ya'll!
We walked into "our" rooms. I grabbed a chair and sat down heavily. The actuality of the situation grew huge and overwhelmed me. I was sitting in a mutant's room, as a mutant, after being shocked for not being able to shoot. This was nuts! I had to get this over with. Sighing, I turned to Ryan, who had sat on the bed. Adrian was sitting in another chair. He was being unusually quiet.
"Okay. I have a lot to tell you guys, and it'll take a while." Ryan looked at me. "And you're probably not going to like most of it. Don't just break down crying though, just trust me. Okay?" I nodded. This would be the least of the problems we had. I could make it through this at least.
"See, I actually have a memory." I opened my mouth to call him a liar, but he just held up his hand. "Let me finish. You can't interrupt me. I have a good reason for everything, alright?" I just nodded again. I didn't think I'd be able too, but still…
"Well, the second thing I have to say is that I was originally human. I was born as a person, and didn't have the defect that you both had." I was confused and turned to Adrian.
"Wait. You had a defect?" He just nodded.
"Yeah, I didn't think it was important. I was missing my spine or something." He shrugged. "I dunno."
"I was missing mine too! And apparently, VICE fixed it!" This was crazy. How could Adrian not think that was important? Heck, this whole day was nuts. I was turning into a nervous wreck. What else would be messed up?
"See, my dad worked for VICE at the time. He was the primary scientist in the project that saved your life." He shot a look in my direction. I was stunned, more than I had been already. His dad had been operating on me? Had he added the spine? Had he added the wings or tail? "Before you ask, no, he was not responsible for the mutation." He smiled a bit. "That was my mom."
"Whoa. Both your parents worked on us?" Adrian leaned forward, suddenly interested.
"Yeah." Ryan nodded. "The additions you guys got were actually not supposed to happen." I shot up in my chair.
"Wait. We were mistakes!" He nodded sadly.
"Yeah, both of you were only supposed to survive. But they made a mistake, and you guys were put on The Program."
"What? 'The program?' What is that?" Both Adrian and I asked at the same time. At that moment, I felt a tingling in my head. "Oh no." The tingling transformed into a lance of pain, removing my consciousness from the world around me.
BWAHAHAHA! I feel so evil. REVIEW! Peace, H45
