Time For Testing

"What are you going to do with us?" Angelica asked.

"Now that the lab has been repaired we can continue with our testing. It's been decided that you will go first my dear," Dr. Phelps spoke.

"Forget it!" John put himself in front of Angelica. "Just try and get her!"

"John don't…" Scatty yelled.

"Don't tell me no! I'm an ex soldier," John snapped. "I'll be damned if I let these jerks take a kid off to be experimented on without a fight! You want a subject? Why don't you use a real man instead of a little girl?"

"Eventually," Dr. Gombell said. "But for now we want the girl. We want to see how her powers are developing over the drugs I gave her to counteract her mutation."

"The hell I will!" John snapped.

Several soldiers used tasers on him. He screamed but did not move. "You're gonna have to do more than that!" He shouted. "Don't let them take her!"

"Yeah you're gonna have to get through us first," Thornn shouted. She screamed as she was tasered. She dropped to the floor in agony.

"STOP IT! STOP THIS!" Angelica screamed. "STOP HURTING THEM! I'll GO IF YOU STOP IT!"

"A sensible decision my dear," Dr. Phelps remarked as the guards handcuffed her. "Don't be in such a rush. You'll all get your turn."

"I'm really sorry about this, Angelica," Dr. Gombell told her.

"I'll bet you are," Angelica glared at him before she was led away.

John gasped on the floor in agony. "No…"

"It was a good try man," Angelo said softly.

"Not good enough," John Proudstar growled. "But we are gonna bust out of this place. All of us or die trying!"

"Well that's reassuring," Caliban groaned.
