Over the next two months I got to know the group well. The first girl was named Zera. Green hair that kinda looked like a bush, with a long bang that covered the side of her white skinned face and blue eyes. She wore a leather jacket and a white shirt with the words 'punk' on it. She wore black shorts with red highlights, and brown boots. She had a piercing in her nose and earrings in both ears that had an upside down cross.
The second girl was african-american, or at least that's what I overheard. Her skin did, not too be racist, look apart. She wore a white shirt with blue jeans, having a black hoodie on top. She wore a gold necklace and wrist rings. She also had on sunglasses, and most of the time I came out of my room (barely/rarely) she was outside smoking. It should be important to note we're all under 18. I think her name was Felecia...I think. Her hair was also down to her thigh.
The first two male's were twins. Blonde hair with green eyes, tan skin, and a lot taller than me. I'm around their shoulders, and last I checked I was 5'6. They both wore brown beanies, and also blue jeans. However they wore different shirts. The first brother wore a black shirt, and left his hair out of his beanie to the left. The brother was the opposite wearing a blue shirt. One red was Chad, and the other Charlie. Honestly they were really annoying, they got drunk a lot. Funny now that I think about it, we were all adopted by the company owner and yet we all
The last male was quiet. His name was Quinz. He had pale skin. Very skinny. He had a red-head bull-cut, not like my hair color which was a crimson red, it's more like ginger. He looked to be 4'6 and had a scar going from the side of his eye, down his cheek, adn to the base of his neck. He doesn't talk too much. His eyes were always covered up by some bandages. There were gaps so he could see through it, but you couldn't' look into it unless you were in a distance he didn't like. Even if you were too close to him, you can't see his eyes well enough to get details.
We were a rag-tag group of siblings, but we were close enough to know we could trust each other. Mostly.
"They're totally bangi'n." Zera said, chewing gum, and staring at Felcia and the twins hanging out on the balcony. I looked toher.
"You think so?" I asked.
"Totally. There's alway's stains on someone's sheets." She said. She drank some orange juice. "By the way, we got apple juice."
"Ballin." I replied, going to pour a glass. Quinz was sitting on the couch, watching some kind of cartoon with furry shit. I poured my glass before sitting next to Zera, who laid her back on my arm and kicked her feet back. She yawned as she watched the screen. Seh then turned her attention to the three outside. I pulled out my phone, doing research. Zara looked over. "I'm researching Oz-Corp."
"I never asked." Zera replied.
"You were though." I responded. She shrugged. I scrolled through an article. I then saw something. Oz-Corp was working on cross genetics with animals and people...interesting. Suspected people are: The Rhino, The Vulture, The Scorpion, The Lizard, and possibly the notorious Electro, Sandman, and the new hero Spider-Man. All of the following have been defeated and captured by Spider-Man, with the exception of himself and The Vulture who had been seen most recently here in Los Angelos. "Interesting…"
The elevator rung. Everyone inside looked over, seeing a large man black male with a white suit, and large white male in a black suit. Racist. The last suited man came up, the one who picked us all up.
"LAdies and gentlemen…" He said. He saw the others outback. "Please go grab them."
The bulky people went over, and grabbed the other three.
"Yo what's the deal yo!?" Chad asked.
"Yeah Dawg!" Charlie responded.
"It's time you all fulfill your end of the deal. This way please." He said, walking into the elevator. The rest of us followed suit, some more begrudgingly than others. The floor kept going down till we hit the first floor. But then it kept going.
"I think it's broken." I commented. Then a new set of numbers appeared. B1-10. And we went down to B-4. "Well me and my big mouth."
We walked into a new room. The room was a lab of some sort. Filled with high-tech computers and screens. One side of the room was showing research on the human body, and showed a picture of Spider-Man standing tall. The next had spiders, and a picture of Spider-Man web swinging and climbing walls. We walked to the back wall, where there were two doors. One saiying 'live testing' and another saying 'spider live testing'.
"If you would please?" The suited man asked, going into the room with spider's in it.
"Aww, hell no!" Felecia said. "Your old little-"
Before Felecia could finish she was dragged in, and thrown into some kind of pod, strapped down into it, where it closed. The rest of us took a step back.
"Now then. Here's how this will work. YOur going to go into those pod's and sleep. And if you wake up...you will be rewarded." He said. Zera shrugged and got in. A mist started filling Felecia's pod, and shortly after Zera's. And they fell asleep. One by one the other's slowly got in, but I stood there and starred. But after a nudge from the bulky white male, I went into the sixth pod. It wasn't very comfy, but eventually I went in and fell asleep to the cold mist.
And then burning. Pain. Like millions of tiny knives striking through every cell in my body, nothing but hurt and the color of red! I could feel myself changing, my body shifting, and my mind felt like it was going to explode! Then the numbness came in...followed by the cold….and the loneliness. Before the voice, filled my mind. The voice of the hive. To adapt or die. I had to relax...embrace...and sleep.
