Ok so on to a new chapter, see I told y'all it would be up within the week :D.

so I really would love someone to draw Talise, since my art skills are lacking. I want to do some kind of contest where people can draw their favorite scene from the story so far. If anyone has any good ideas on what some good prizes would be, anything short of money cuz I am beyond broke, please let me know. Or if anyone wants to just wants to submit their favorite scene I would really appreciate it and would love to see what you come up with.

And back to the story, I hope you all enjoy.

The thin man emerged from the steel container with trembling fingers. He emerged slowly so he could see his captures as well as his new home. He noticed a woman, around his age, sitting along the wall. He recognized her from a few posters advertising a comedy club act. Apparently she was quit funny. He noticed the collar around her neck and instantly knew her power type. The young girl who rescued him however was a mystery. She was currently going threw the crates to see what treasures she could call her own. He heard rumors threw the compound of a girl and the deal the warden had made with her, perhaps this was the girl. He was pulled from his thoughts as he felt something warm surround him. The young girl had found a blanket and was attempting to wrap it around his shoulders, but the poor child was still to short to reach. He eyes were so innocent, it was a surprise that this hell had yet to break her spirits.

Here, you look like you're freezing.

Thank you, my lady. I am Alexander Nabeki.

The man took the young girl's hand and with the manners of old placed a light kiss on it's back. The young girl than smiled and bowed her head a little as she curtseyed.

Not a problem sir. My name is Talise Tolensky. And the woman over there is Olivia. Welcome to lucky cell number 357.

Alex took a moment to nod to Olivia, and she returned the gesture. Seeing as there was no immediate danger, she allowed herself to sit on the floor and regain her composure.

My father had a policy not to sugar coat anything, and unfortunately it is a practice that I have taken up.

The sweet child before them had changed drasticly in the blink of an eye. Where once stood a young child with an aura of innocence now possessed an aura of a ruthless business tycoon. Her very stance had stiffen and her tone became much cooler and smoother.

The Warden here has made a deal with me. I can bring in anyone here that I want, the only rules are that I must collect the extra food and supplies necessary. Also they will not just give me any mutants to add to our cell, I'll have to get them myself. In other words it could get quite crowded in here and rations may get small. Also the guards will have an instant hate for you because they despise me. They can't stand the fact that I'm helping mutants. In short you may and most likely will have little rations, in a cramped environment and will not find any of the little mercy the guards have. But there is a positive side. Here you are protected. It is regulation that experiments must be preformed by at least one mutant in each cell. It is agreed that no matter how many mutants reside here, I will be the one they will work on, and while I'm gone no harm will come to any of you.

WHAT?

Both Alex and Olivia gasped and asked at the same time. For a child to choose to take up such a burden was disturbing at best. Nothing about this child seems childish and yet she still maintained the innocents of one. At the age of six she had agreed to save the lives of others as well as carry the burden and fear of them as well.

How could we agree to let a child take on that pain!

The choice is yours however, if you wish to stay and help then you are welcomed here. But if you wish to leave and avoid the negativity that comes from staying with me, then I will call the guards and they will take you to a new cell.

But you're just a child!

Yes I believe we have established that. But now you simply need to ask yourselves one question.

Which is?

In the words of The Clash, "Should I stay or should I go?"

Talise then turned to the remaining crates to see what they held. It was a mere two minutes before the cell erupted with laughter. Alex was still trying to maintain his composure by covering his mouth, but was failing drasticly, Olivia herself was laughing so hard she was gripping her side.

Jesus kid how long have you been waiting to use that one?

Talise replied with a youthful grin, about the time The Warden and I made the deal.

Well I may have to steal that one day for my show.

And what other situation but this, would that work in?

I'm not sure but I will fine a way.

So aside from that much need comedic relief, what are your decisions?

Well I'm not sure about Alex, but there is no way I'm leaving a kid by herself.

A proper gentleman would never allow two young women to defend themselves.

And how pray-tell, to you aim to help us?

With a slight grin Alex walked over to the gate, and placed his right hand on the wall. As he closed his eyes, the gate wall began to merge with the gate. At first they were simply binding together as they were before the gate was torn off, but the the material itself began to change. It turned into a silver and smooth type material with what appeared to be a key pad.

Before I came here people called me Reform, because I can change anything I touch into something else.

Anything?

As long as its similar. I can't turn a rock into bread, but I can turn it into gold. I used the earth materials to strengthen the gate and moved some of the cords to make a palm pad. Its not as high tech as others but it will allow you to leave faster than using a key.

That's good, so all I do is put my hand on it and it will open?

Yes but only from the inside, I thought that would help with the guards.

Great, well I'm gonna run next door then.

Next door?

Yes there is a pregnant lady in the cell next to our cell. I figure these blankets would help.

I'm sure it will, we'll get the door for you. Just let us know when you're close or if you need help.

As Talise exited her cell, Olivia turned her attention to Alex. How could someone act so proper and yet look so shabby. He had now turned his attention to some shabby materials and began morphing them into brighter colors.

Alex, what are you doing?

I thought she may like the brighter colors, what child would not?

So what's your story? How did you end up here?

I'm sure what you're really asking is how is someone with my upbringing bearing a resemblance to the homeless community.

I thought I was being more tactful, but yes.

Well I was raised in a high society family but once my powers emerged, my family disowned me and I end found myself on the streets. I've been there for about seven years, I'm surprised it took them this long to get a hold of me.

So you're like Talise then.

Excuse me?

Well apparently she came from a high class family but once her powers came in and she transformed, her dad killed her mother and tried to kill her. He then sent her here, she's been here since she was four.

Alex gripped the material tightly, fighting back apparent tears. He was watching someone else go threw the same pain he did.

She knows nothing about us and yet she took us in, and gave us her food and shelter. And yet she has not asked us for anything but our names. From the time I was on the streets I don't think I was ever as kind.

Kind about what?

Talise had returned to the gate and was waiting for them to let her back in. Alex placed his hand on the keypad and let her back into their cell.

I heard what you said Alex, but I'm afraid I have to ask you for a small favor.

Name it and its yours.

Could you bring down this wall here?

The wall she motioned to, was the barrier to the cell she had just visited.

What for, may I ask?

Well I've never seen the people over there, only passing them food around the corner. There's a couple with some kids and the mother's about to have a baby. That place is in no condition to have a baby in!

I see. Well I don't have the energy to convert the material.

What about if you loosen the cement keeping the blocks together, then we can just move the blocks and find something to do with them later.

That could work, who knows we could stack them and turn it into a couch.

Talise's eyes lit up at the sound of his words. Perhaps it was that they were about to help a new baby, or that she was adding more people to her strange cause. Alex then placed his hands on the wall and closed his eyes to concentrate. The wall began to shake as the blocks were loosen from each other. After a few moments Alex turned to Talise, a slight sweat was dripping from his brow but a smile graced his face. He then took his right index finger and with a slight flick, knocked a block from the wall. Talise was over joyed and ran to the small hole. She had to stand on her tip toes to see into the next the next room. Alex made his way over to sit next to Olivia.

Spent for the day?

Mmmm.

Alex was so tired he couldn't even form a reply to Olivia, or a thank you as she passed him the cup of water. Talise then ran over and jumped in between them and placed her hands over her ears. Before the two adults could ask a large crash could be heard as the cell was filled with dust. The the dust a large mutant walked in. he was nearly seven feet tall, with large toned muscles. He was a beast mutant, with a large tail trailing behind him and large cat ears adorning the top of his head. His body was covered with tiger fur and his yellow eyes pierced the dust. He was the perfect blend of best and man, but was it the beast or the man in control?

and there is chapter 14. don't worry there will be one more, two at the most chapter of them in this flash back and then we will join back up with out girl and see what she's up to.

Please leave reviews and I'll be back hopefully next week.
