"Even children can save the world." ~~ Doctor Kaiko Ikuji
Chapter 1: Escapees
It was the same as always. Barely of the age of ten
years, the boy was running for his life through the alleyways of the decaying
section of the large city. He had hoped to find a place where someone like
him could stay, but he was found instead..
A bullet wizzed past one of his elf-like ears, and
he let out a cry as it drew blood, however slight it might be. He tried
to run faster, down on all fours, but for all he did, he just could not
shake the men chasing him. He felt as if they knew what he was going to
do next, and that scared him.
Lightning flashed across the sky, and the heavens
let loose their tears, as nature cried for the plight of her child..
He had been shot at before, cursed, and beaten up,
but none of those people could read his every thought.. He was sure that
the orange-haired one could.
*Give it up little boy, before we have to hurt you...*
The voice was in his head again, and he let out a shout of surprise at
its reappearance and tripped, his fear blinding him to what was ahead of
his footsteps.
He fell, slidding across the mud-strewn concrete,
the jagged, worn edges slicing open his already frail form. When was the
last time he had eaten? The hunger did not help the pain; it instead made
it ten-fold worse.
Blood seeped through some new, some reopened wounds,
staining the shredded rags around his body, the only things he possessed
in the world. He felt a wetness other than rain and blood make trails down
his fuzzy cheeks. The flowing of blood made his blue fur turn the dark
purple of a ghastly bruise.
This was all too much for him; he did not feel up
to life anymore. Why continue life when he had no reason to live? When
he had not a friend in the world, and he had been running since from when
he could remember?
-Just let me die.. Just kill me..- The boy pleaded
silently, and his sniffles dissolved into loud, heart wrenching sobs as
he curled up into a ball of wet fluff, making himself seem even smaller
than before. As he shook, he made no effort to get up.
*I'm afraid that would defeat the purpose of us
trying to capture you, Kurt Wagner..*
The mutant child jerked his head up, his eyes flashing
open to stare at that man again. He had known his name! How?!
Kurt suddenly found his feet, and scrambled up.
-H.. how..?-
The man laughed. *Yes, I know your name. Now surrender
or we won't have to hurt you.. Not as much as we'll have to hurt you if
you resist.*
He backed up, new fear bringing renewed energy to
his tired limbs. Kurt turned his back to them and fled.
But he had barely taken two steps before a rock-iron
grip enclosed around his wrist, and he found himself being jerked roughly
back, so that he fell onto the ground behind him into the center of the
group.
The man that had caught his arm closed the circle,
entrapping Kurt.
"Give it up. You're ours now." Another one, the
cold one with the glasses warned the boy in flawless German. His voice
was barely a whisper, but the ice in it easily projected the threat to
the boy's ears.
One minute it felt like Kurt's stomach was raging
with hunger. Now it seemed as if he had never had a stomach at all. Fear
could not define the feeling that was coursing through his body just then.
The feeling was beyond fear, beyond terror. No matter how hard he begged
his legs, they would not move.
A cruel smile crossed the man's face, and Kurt felt
his blood run could. "Good." He turned to the man that had grabbed the
boy's arm. "Farfarello..."
He continued to talk, but Kurt had no idea what
he had said to the 'Farfarello' man.
An insane grin spread across Farfarello's face,
and he quickly turned to the child, licking his blade happily like a child
would a lollipop. Before Kurt could react, the man had grabbed his arm,
and was staring at the child intently with a gaze that sent shivers down
the child's spine. For a moment, neither person moved. Then..
Kurt let out a howl of pain as he felt the knife
cut into his arm, the pressure slowly increasing with every second. He
struggled and shouted German pleas of mercy, but they were deaf to the
man's ears. Laughing gleefully, the patch-eyed lunatic cut off a sizable
chunk of flesh from Kurt's arm, causing him to scream harder. The blade
came flashing down again, and his scream of pain became a scream of terror.
"Matte." The man with the glasses spoke again, calm
like before, arms folded. He was not in the least bothered by the child's
torture.
"Demo.." Farfarello paused in his onslaught.
"Matte!" His voice told that his order was final.
Kurt fell to the ground as the man let go of his
arm, and he panickly watched the blood flow down it and mixing with the
rain, becoming a swirling, watery mass of clear and red liquid. He tried
to catch his breath, to calm his rapid breathing, but he was not given
a chance.
With a suddenly shouted war cry, Fararello turned
around and descended upon the hapless Kurt.
His scream died in his throat as the lightning flashed
off the blade that was about ready to pronounce his imminent fate. It arched
up, preparing to slice open the recesses of his heart, and still he was
frozen..
Then suddenly, there was a new energy inside of
Kurt that he had never felt before.. A warm, radiating energy within him,
that offered a means of escape. What that power was, and how it worked,
he did not know just then, but he had no choice. He grabbed the power in
his heart, and visualized being anywhere but in the alley, about ready
to die. And the power flashed, being set free for the first time, lighting
up the alley for a brief, a very brief moment. BAMF!
With cloud of smoke, and the smell of brimstone,
Kurt Wagner was gone.
And with a shout he woke up seconds later, shooting
up into a sitting position on his bed, sweat pouring down his furry face.
His breath came in short, ragged gasps as he fought to bring his sky-rocketed
pulse under control, eyes wide and scared.
It was that dream again.. He always had nightmares
about his childhood, but why was this certain experience coming back again
and again to haunt him within the past few weeks..? Why this one and not
the others? It surely was not one of the worst..
There had to be a reason for this certain dream..
Maybe the police report about how many mutant children were found dead
each year, most not even having any signs of being a mutant yet..? And
how there were many more missing, with their families brutally murdered..?
He ran his three-fingered hands through his hair, trying to calm himself
down with the thought that it was all in the past.. All those dreams. And
he never had to go through that again. He had friends now.. He was an X-Men.
Now he had someplace to turn to..
But his thoughts kept on drifting back to that dream,
the details far more sharper than usual. The site of his blood, the looks
on their faces.. The knife cutting into his arm..
It was then that Kitty phased through the floor
of his room, next to his bed. "Kurt, Professor Xavier told me that he wanted
to talk to u-"
"EAAHHHH~~~~!" Kurt, startled out of panicked thoughts,
shrieked in surprise, backing away from her, which caused himself to topple
off his bed and fall into a rather ungraceful heap on the ground.
Kitty blinked and then began to giggle. "Sorry,
I didn't mean to-"
Kurt felt the heat in his cheeks as he scrambled
to stand up. "I-It's okay.. Y.. You just startled me, v-vhat's all!"
She grinned widely, and offered a hand to help him
up. "That's obvious."
Kurt flushed more as Kitty helped him up. "S...
So uhm.. Kitty.. Vhat vhere you saying..?"
"Oh! Professor Xavier wants to talk to all of us
during breakfast.. Something about a trip where taking.."
Kurt blinked. "A trip..?"
She shrugged. "That's all I know about it.. Anyways,
be down in ten minutes!" She phased back through the floor.
Kurt sighed. So much for his Saturday of video games
and movies. He probably would have been doing training simulations anyways.
Screw them.
He threw on some clothes and teleported downstairs
a few minutes later, falling comfortably into his normal seat at the dining
room table. He immediately began to wolf down pancakes.
"Ah Kurt, I'm glad you could join us," Professor
Xavier tried to ignore the random giggles and chuckles from the other young
mutants, as they watched Kurt's antics.
Kurt finally noticed the silence and looked up,
realizing all us were upon him. He swallowed the peice of bacon he was
eating. "S-sorry Professor Xavier.. I.. I vas late getting up.."
"I noticed, but that's not important now. I wanted
to talk to about a trip that's coming up. Usually I might take Logan or
Ororo, but there are different.. circumstances for this trip."
"Circumstances?" Scott questioned.
Xavier nodded. "Yes. I'm visiting an old collegue
who happens to run a mutant school as well.."
"Ser gut!"
He chose to ignore Kurt, pretending that he was
annoyed at being interrupted again, which he was. ".. In Tokyo. He's asked
me to bring some of my students with me as to form better connections between
youngsters of both our cultures. So during your two week break that starts
this weekend, we arranged to meet. We don't leave until Wednesday, so you
will have plently of time to think over it. Understand that you have no
obligation to go if you do not choose to. The final decision is up to you.
I will give you more details on the trip later, but now I have to meet
with the Headmaster over video teleconferencing network."
As he left with Ororo and Logan, both Evan and Kurt
sat there blinking.
".. Video teleconferencing..?" Evan repeated.
Kitty rolled her eyes. "Two-way video conferencing."
Their faces still remained puzzled and confused.
Kitty sighed in exasperation.
"...Think Star Wars. Message holograms? Except in
real-time?"
Comprehension dawned immediately on both of their
faces.
"Oh.. Why didn't you say that in the first place??"
Kurt demanded.
Kitty groaned, holding a hand to her temple. "Men..
Why do I even try..?" And she walked out, making Kurt and Evan confused
once again.
Finally, they just gave up on trying to figure out
what Kitty meant and went back to stuffing their faces.
A couple hours and a few battle simulations later,
the young X-Men were gathered in the rec room watching the TV, except for
Kitty, who was reading a large, hardbound book.
"Scott, stop flipping the damn channels!"
"There's nothing TV, Evan, I'll stop when I find
a good show!"
"Excuse me, but that vas a good show!"
"Yeah, turn it back dammit!"
Jean sighed, following Kitty's example and found
a book to read. Not only did the book serve the purpose of giving her something
to do, but it also gave her the option of being able to beam the men over
the head with it if they got too loud.
Finally, Scott stopped flipping the channels, and
his eyes bulged. "Woah."
"Hey, hey! C-change the channel! Auntie O'll kill
me if she sees us watching Playboy!"
".. Ve have Playboy? Ser gut!"
"KURT!" Both Jean and Kitty had affixed killing
looks on the blue fuzzball of a mutant, who cringed at his name.
"I vas joking.. Joking..!" He waved his hands out
in front of him defensively.
Kitty spoke, still glaring daggers of death and
doom at Kurt. "You'd better be, or we'll make you eat your own tail."
"... That vould hurt.."
Jean rolled her eyes. "That's the point!" She then
glared at Scott, who was still wide-mouthed with bulging eyes. "What are
you doing Scott?! CHANGE THE CHANNEL!"
He snapped out of his stupor and quickly flipped
to a different channel, fearful for his life. Jean only had that look when
she was really, really made, and when he would have been really, really
dead if he did not listen to her.
And so began the endless cycle of flipping through
the channels once more.
It took perhaps five more minutes of channel-surfing
before Jean finally lost it.
"Give me that!" Using her telekinesis, she quickly
jerked the controller out of Scott's hand and caught it in her own. "Thank
you."
He muttered darkly, but he did not try to retrieve
the remote control. Perhaps it was the best for the both if she had the
controller. That way, she would have no reason to kill him. And he preferred
it that way.
Jean changed the channel to CNN. No one protested
either, although Evan did try and open his mouth to do so, but Kurt quickly
covered it before he got them all killed. Jean was just in one of those...
Moods.
However, the news almost immediately changed that.
"... In other news, the Senate passed the bill proposed
earlier this month approving the cloning of mutants. There has been another
bill proposed yesterday to consider mutants as a seperate species from
non-mutants, and therefore could be freely experimented on, and end all
rights they currently have. The is some opposition to the bill, but many
humans are in favor for it. If it passes, then any discovered mutant would
instantly be captured and sent to a laboratory, where they would undergo
complex experiments and obvservations. Any mutant of any age would be taken
to one of these laboratories, even if their parents are not of mutant-kind.
There were some more bills intro-*BOOM!*"
Scott removed his hand from his shades. "That's
better."
The others shifted nervously, looking at the smoking
TV. All but Kurt, who was looking morosely at his lap.
Kitty blinked at him. ".. Kurt..?"
Kurt looked up at her with wet eyes. "If they pass
that bill.. I'll.. I'll have have to go back to Germany... Vithout any
of you.. And I vould never see you guys again.."
"Man... That would really suck.." Evan frowned.
"Ja... At least you vould still have friends vith
you.. I vould be back to having nobody again.."
"Kurt.." Kitty sighed, looking at him sadly. "All
we can do now is just hope that it doesn't pass.."
"I vish ve could do more.. I don't vant to loose
you all.."
"Same here man, same here." Scott agreed.
Doctor Naiko Ikuji woke to the sound of the alarm
clock next to her bed ringing loudly in her ear, blasting her into the
realm of awareness for yet another day. If it was not for the fact that
she loved her job, she would have slept in. Even if she had not loved her
job, she knew its importance, and knew what would happen to her charges
if she neglected her duties.
And she couldn't let that happen. Too many had already
died. And she wasn't going to loose those two as well. She was going to
make sure of it.
Sighing, the woman in her early twenties got up
and took her long, black hair out of its overnight bun. Like all of the
Japanese, her skin was dark, and her eyes a brownish-black. Her face was
slender, as was her general body frame. It was from all the exercise she
received from taking care of her charges.
She was glad, very glad that she worked with children,
instead of in one of the other departments. Violence and death made her
feel.. Dirty. That was the word. She did not like idea of watching her
former charges dying in bloody conflict.
Dr. Ikuji made her thoughts busy with mentally reciting
the schedule she had with her two children today as she prepared . Most
of the caretakers only had one child, but she had two. They were one of
the rare cases of twins.
Each surrogate mother was emplanted with multiple
embryos, being of different variations of basically the same mutation,
but usually only one survived to birth. However, in the case of the twins,
both had survived, and so, as one of the top caretakers, she was employed
to work with them. Naiko was glad about this.
Pulling on a fresh sweater-labcoat, she heard the
bell to her quarters ring, and opened the door to see one of her collegues,
with the weekly newsletter. Although they were allowed to import newspapers
from the outside, the newsletter reported findings by all of the scientists
of The Facility.
"Newsletter came out today! Thought you might want
a copy." He grinned, speaking their native language of Japanese.
"Of course I would. It is a day late however...
Why is that?"
"Oh, there was some new research added just before
deadline, and it was pretty major. Hey, you work with one of the few sets
of twins, right?"
She nodded. "Yes.. Two lovely little ones.. But
continue."
"Well, the last article would interest you then,
it has to do with twins. I already read it and it's pretty interesting.
I suggest you check it out. Might be of some use to you."
"Thanks, I will." Naiko smiled and took the bounded
paperback, and prepared to say goodbye when he stuck a tray of food in
her way. "You might want this too.. The children got up extra early today
and have already eaten breakfast. They're waiting impatiently for you,
so I wouldn't take too long.."
She laughed. "Those two.. They do that at least
once a week. They're too eager to learn and play so they get so little
sleep.. But they've been sleeping in lately due to the growth spurt they're
currently having."
"It's good to know that your kids do something else
besides learn.. They're already reading, aren't they..?"
"Yep, and they also know how to speak, read, and
write in English as well.." She grinned. "They don't know any math yet,
but I plan on teaching them that next."
"Amazing.." He just stood there in awe for a second,
before a thought crossed his mind and he frowned. "I also heard that you
have a low setting on those collars of theirs.. That's not good, because
one of them could teleport out."
"It's not that low, they can only teleport within
The Facility. They can't go very far anyways.. About three or four meters
at most. And even if one of them were strong enough to teleport out of
here, they would never leave the other. They're only three, and so they've
never experienced anything to make them want to leave yet."
"Yes but still.. Whenever they teleport, they disrupt
the cameras and sensors for about a few minutes at a time.. And they take
even more time to recover if both teleport within two seconds of one another..
The committee doesn't appreciate the cameras going offline all time in
your children's room.. And not to mention-"
"I'll be late to see the children if we keep on
arguing about this. The committee has approved of this, and sees no trouble
in it. Don't worry, their collars are equipped with a self-detonating device
that'll activate when they go to the other realm for too long.."
He sighed. "If you say so.. But watch those children.
We never know what they might be up to, as smart as they are.."
They exchanged a few more words and he left, leaving
her to her copy of the weekly newsletter as she ate her breakfast.
As she was insisted to do, she flipped to the back
article and skimmed it. At first, her eyes widened and then a small smile
creased her lips. Keeping the newsletter open to the page it was on, she
walked out her door, her breakfast only half finished as she made her way
to the children's area.
She loved children, but the walk to their room was
another deal. She had to pass the experimentational area, which had always
scared her beyond measure. Maybe it was the blood or perhaps the death-screams
that got to her. She was one of the few scientists that considered mutants
to be essentially human, just.. Different than the rest. Because of this
mental standpoint, she considered making mutants fight against each other
inhumane and cruel. Especially since only the innocent ones died, and only
the cut-throat ones survived. Many of her students became those innocent
dead.
In the morning she was lucky because she did notave
to experience the sight of begging and pleading eyes, blood splattering
against the glass encloser.. Instead, the lights and computers were off,
and the combatants were still asleep.
Dr. Ikuji walked through the halls, only her light
steps on the catwalk breaking the silence.
Fifteen minutes later, she punched in the access
code to her destination. She walked in as the door opened, and prepared
for the onslaught as it closed behind her.
"Naiko-sama~~!" Two young voices called simultaneously.
A dark green furball jumped up from where it was
sitting on the floor, and wrapped its arm and pointed tail around the scientist.
Followed by a *BAMF* and the sound of giggling as another furball, this
one a dark, dark blue, teleported onto her shoulders and hugged her around
the neck, its tail wagging.
"Ohayo~~!" Both chirped again, and Naiko laughed.
"Ohayo, Alicia-chan... Ohayo to you too Alec-chan, but do you mind getting
off my shoulders..?"
The mutant twin named Alec nodded happily and teleported
next to his sister with a *BAMF*. "That better Naiko-sama..?"
Sighing, she ruffled his white hair causing him
to giggle once more, his light purple eyes shining with delight. His sister
too shared his hair and eye color, except in the fact that her hair was
down to the middle of her back.
"So, how do you want to start off your day?"
"Reading!" Alec chimed.
"Drawing!" Alicia chirped.
"No! Reading!" Alec agrued.
"Nuh-uh! Drawing!" Alicia countered.
"Reading!"
"Drawing!"
"READING!"
"DRAWING~!!"
"Children! Please no arguing this early in the morning!"
Dr. Ikuji scolded. "You can both do your own thing.. Just, don't argue
about it or we shall do neither.."
"Oh.." Both cublings blinked, and then Alicia yelled.
"Race you to the table!"
"You're on!" And both teleported with twin *BAMFS*.
Sighing, Kaiko stuck a small mechanism under the
top space of a bookshelf next to her, pressing a button as she attached
it. It began to countdown as she walked towards the children, with their
desired items.
As the children became immersed into their activities,
Dr. Ikuji heard the sensors and cameras reactivate.
Then, a few minutes later, all hell broke loose.
A manual override was punched into the door of Alec's and Alicia's room,
and a guard ran in. "Doctor Ikuji!!"
She stood up quickly at being addressed, seemingly
alarmed by the actions of the guard, which protrayed fear and terror. Kaiko
was able to however keep her calm. "What is it?"
"A bomb! You and the children have to get out of
here! The sensors just picked them up! The children knocked out the sensors
for a good half-hour with all their teleporting, and we only now discovered
it! Hurry, it's going to explode!"
Doctor Ikuji's eyes widened and she scooped up both
of the little mutants, and rushed out of the room quickly, the guard following
at their heels.
And it seemed, not a second too soon, because the
resulting explosion a momen later knocked Kaoki and the guard onto the
hard metal, as a fireball engulfed the room they had just left. She got
up into a sitting position and then began to calm down the twins, since
both had started to cry in fear and clinged close to her.
Alec, through his tear-filled eyes, looked at what
remained of the room. "... Why did our playroom blow up..?"
The woman holding him close looked sadly at him
as her eyes softened, but only responded with more verbal reassurances.
"So everyone's coming then..?" Professor Xavier asked,
after all of the mutants had seated and served themselves.
Jean nodded. "Yes, after that one report.. We're
going to need all the help we can get. And we'd benefit from knowing other
mutants our age, besides our small group.."
"Yeah man, besides, this is our chance to be somevhere
ve have never been to before!" Kurt added, between large mouthfuls of potatoes.
"Kurt, how many times do I need to remind you..?"
He swallowed his food before speaking again. "Sorry
Ororo.."
"We're all in agreement that this trip will at least
give us some experience in situations with mutants from other countries.."
"Cyc, have you forgotten already? I'm from Germany!"
"But hell, you act as if you've been an American
all your life!" Evan exclaimed, and then suddenly cringed under Ororo's
gaze.
"Oops.. Sorry Auntie O.."
Logan sighed and shook his head. He felt a headache
coming on about now.
"Well.. If you're all decided.."
All the young members of the X-Men team nodded their
heads in mutual agreement.
".. Then I'll give my reply to the school's Headmaster."
The Professor smiled and resumed eating with the others.
".. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, letting the
children sleep in your room.."
"Administrator, they're scared! They won't sleep
otherwise! They'll be scared to death!"
"I'm quite aware of that.."
"- I don't care how aware you are of it, but the
children need to stay with me, at least for tonight..! They could have
much more permanent psycological damage otherwise!"
"Doctor Ikuji.."
"Onegai, Administrator..?"
He sighed. "Alright, but only for tonight. I'm only
doing this because you're the best caretaker we have."
She bowed deeply to him. "Arigatou."
"So there's another way to the children's area other
than by the experimentation area..?" Kaiko asked the other scientist next
to her, as she held both of the sleepy twins in her arms. "Why was I never
informed of this..?"
"Well... It's kinda suppose to be a secret, and
you're only allowed to use it this once because the Administrator doesn't
want the children to see the experimentation area.."
"Why..?" Asked a confused Alec.
Kaiko sighed. "... Alec-chan, you don't want to
know.."
"I don't..?"
"Hai.. You don't.."
"Demo.. Demo.. Awww poo.." He found himself being
carried away from the entrance to the experimental facility and towards
the restricted hall. He never was never allowed to have any fun.
"Ooh! Look at the bed! It's huge!"
"Alec-chan, that's nothing compared to the tub,
look at the tub!"
"Yatta! It's huge!"
"Hai!"
The scientist laughed quietly as she watched her
charges inspect every aspect and object of her quarters. From their reactions,
they obviously did not have this much.. Finness. She didn't know exact
what their quarters were like, because she had never been there, even though
it was next to the room in which she always met them. It too had been destroyed
by the bomb.
It was almost their bedtime now, since she had spent
nearly the entire day with them out in the greenhouses, teaching them about
various plants and their qualities. And they were too wired for bed.
-Good,- Kaiko thought. -It'll make it all the easier.-
She then called to the children. "Alec-chan, Alicia-chan,
bedtime!"
Both let out moans, which blended in perfectly with
each other. "Do we have to go to bed..?" Alec whined.
"Alicia-cha' isn't tired.." His sister joined in
the whining.
"You are both going to bed, this very instant."
"Demo..."
"No Alec-chan. It's bedtime. You had a long day,
and you need your rest.. Remember, you and Alicia-chan are having a growth
spurt right now, and you don't want to end up short because of inadequate
sleep, do you..?"
"No.. Demo.."
"Bedtime."
It took more poking and prying, but she finally
got them to stay in her soft bed, before retiring herself in the room in
which her computers were stored.
But naughty and hyper little children don't stay
in bed for very long. They never do.
"Alicia-chan.. Let's explore!"
"Hai!"
And so, in the darkness of which their eyes had
quickly adjusted to, the twins began to sneak around quietly. They looked
at books in the shelves (most in languages they had yet to learn), some
magazines, and some letters before something caught their eyes at the same
time.
Looking at the kitchen table in a certain angle,
caused something on top of it to catch the light and reflect it into their
eyes..
"Ooh! What's that?!"
"Alicia-cha' doesn't know, but she wants to!"
Now their naughtiness and hyperness had be joined
by lovely curiousity, which any small child would quickly sucumb to if
given the right incentive. And a strange reflection from the table was
enough incentive for the twins.
Alec was the first there, teleporting to the table
with the smell of brimstone and sulfur, Alicia teleporting close behind
him. The reflection was sadly only caused by a silver bookmarker on a bounded
bunch of papers..
"Aw... It's just a stupid old bookmark.." Alicia
pouted, but her brother wasn't listening, as he began to read article that
the bookmark was lying on..
"Alicia-chan, look, Alicia-chan! Look at this!"
He pointed eagerly to the article. "Look, we can probably do this!"
"Ooh! You're probably right!" Alicia agreed upon
skimming the article. "Let's try it!"
Grinning widely the two children clasped hands and
concentrated.
About a minute later, a loud, single *BAMF* announced
the disappearance of the twins. The only things that remained behind was
the smell of sulfur and brimstone, and their two control-collars. With
a hollow, metallic clank each, the collars fell onto the ground, not able
to follow their children to where ever they had gone.
Alone in the darkness, Kaiko Ikuji smiled. The children
were free.. Probably in Tokyo by now too. Perhaps they could provide the
end to the nightmare. After all, they were the impossibilities. They had
done what had before been impossible to do. As did the boy they
were cloned from.. The only to escape from that group of kidnappers..
She sat down at the table, waiting to be arrested.
Surely they must have figured it out by now. One of the mind readers would
have read her intentions by now. And they would not be pleased in what
thoughts and ideas had been floating around in her head. She would probably
be killed.
Kaiko smiled still, even after those sobering thoughts.
Finally, two of her charges had managed to escape the nightmare before
it had begun for them. Her life was unimportant; the children could alone
escape and bring down The Facility. That was why she was happy when she
was chosen as their caretaker.
Everything was up to them now: the fate of every
mutant, scientist, and guard in The Facility. They were going to break
free from this hell-hole, she hoped.
All because of a headline that read, "Twin Mutants
Can Combine Powers: Combination Increases Output More than Ten-Fold."
End of Chapter 1
Chapter 2 will be up when it's done! And it's sadly going to be longer
than this one. So be prepared. And please Read and Review! ^^
