A/N Thanks to the two people who have reviewed me so far! You all are
great!!! I know, the first chapter was short, and this one is too. It's
hard trying to find good places to start and stop. Anyways, read on, and
enjoy!

When she woke, she was laying on something smooth and hard, a table, the lab. But no, this place smelt different, and felt different.
"Your awake. . . . " a man's voice said from in front of her. Her eyes snapped open. The room she was in was like nothing shed ever seen. It was a lab, in a different sort of way. There was no blood, no instruments of torture, no bubbling metal. She turned her head to the side, to see a man in a chair sitting gin front of her. He had no hair, and wore a fine suit.
"Where am I?" she breathed softly.
"The serum's worn off I see. Good. You're at my school for young mutants. But right now, we are in the medical lab." The young woman looked around nervously. "Not that type of lab. We help people here, not hurt them. You're free to stay here as long as you need to," he explained to her.
She closed her eyes again and sighed heavily.
"I do not know where else I would go," she whispered, her adrenalin induced strength giving out on her.
"Before you go to sleep again I'd like to ask you some questions." She slowly opened her eyes once more, struggling to stay awake.
"We don't yet know your mutation."
"Regenitive. . . . " her eyes were slowly closing.
"But, with the state that your body is in, how?"
"The rings . . . they stop it. somehow . . ." her eyes slid closed, and her body relaxed as her mind drifted into a not-so-peaceful slumber.
The Professor sighed, as he moved his chair closer to the exam table that would be her bed for a day. He gently pressed his finger tips to her temples and closed his eyes.
Memories of a whole life flashed in his mind. But it wasn't any normal life. No memories other than the sub-terrain hell from which they seized her. There was no other place in her mind but Alkilide Lake. Strange, for he could usually see everything in a persona mind, even if they didn't remember it.
