His vision swirling again twisted the cultured tormentor into an unrecognizable spin of colors and shapes ending with a vision of a white ceiling and a steady beeping noise. With the cold baritone being the only remaining constant in Wufei's mind.
"Good the Para-psychotropic solution should begin its effect soon. We will be the first to be successful in creating controllable Psychics." A muttered voice interrupts the Vyschrick's baritone. "Yes, yes of course we need someone with a natural tendency toward it and you should well know our records of the Dragon Clan. You should also know that we could not use them when they had the support of the elders. At least we had blood sample of the strongest and we knew that this one had the genetics to support it. Boirnell has been most successful with his work with genes we should soon be able to create a gene that can be inserted into the chain during normal cell reproduction and differentiation." His affectless laughter bounded in response to another muffled voice, "Splendid!"
Sudden pain filled Wufei's body, he screamed again and again but to no avail the pain continued. His mind felt as if it were being physically pried apart with a thousand tiny crowbars each pounding to its own rhythm. Sharp jagged colors painfully ripped across his vision and the laughter built in the background becoming a jarring counterpoint to the agony.
"Ahh. It looks as if the drug is having some effect then isn't it. At the very least this formula would make an effective tool in forcing stubborn prisoners into talking. Oh, how amusing it's whimpering in pain. Hrm. I wonder what an agony it must be to have your psychic abilities torn open in a single sitting. I shall have to ask it later, shall I?" Amused and appreciative chuckles filled the blindingly white room.
The white lights spun into the acute colors assaulting his mind, building into an unbearable pressure. Wufei screamed again as his sight blurred into something he couldn't recognize.
A young girl carried a doll, singing and spinning in the sun. A dog yapped about playfully. An idyllic setting, her joy was infectious but he couldn't seem to understand what joy meant. At the sight of the tender child, confusion filled him as he attempted to understand these strange new emotions. A flash and the idyllic setting disappeared in a booming crash of light. A collapsed building, a broken doll and an oh so still begrimed puppy. Pain, confusion, fear. A white room, a blurry figure of a man with a strange face, something shining from it. Re-education. Fear. Confusion disappears as emptiness and duty fill the void it leaves behind. Lost, something so terribly important is lost. Never again. He'll never know again, I tell no one. I can't lose it again, whatever it was it was important. Pain. A broken doll disappears into the smoke and fires of a destruction he created. The reflection in a broken window reveals a small grave with a bright yellow flower and a broken doll. As well as the retreating image of a young man, shock of chocolate hair fluttering in the heat, green clothed shoulders flexing as he makes his exit.
As Wufei's agonized scream fades he recalled himself and frantically tried to get away from the strange foreign images that invaded his mind. The crashing breaking sound of a collapsing building resonated in his mind, a roar pierced by screams. Never again.. What does it mean I don't understand... What is happening to me… I can't tell what's real… I.. Damnit! Get a grip Chang!
"Chang!?" Heero called out to the struggling teen. "What happened? Report!"
"I.. I don't know it's like I keep having these memories or dreams or… I don't know…"
"Okay, Wufei. Tell us what makes you think they are dreams and not memories. Focus okay Fei-Chang. Just try and think this through."
"I.. okay. Well there are a lot of strange colors and the images aren't clear sometimes." Wufei calmed his breathing and scrunched his brow as he began concentrating on the details.
"That could have been the drugs. Is there anything else to make you think that they were memories or dreams?"
"Yeah Wufei. What happened in these uh visions?"
"I some feel like memories because I well Feel like I've been there before, it was familiar… I could sort of remember it happening and well at a bet I'd say I have the corresponding bruises and scars to prove it. And the other, well I… they felt like memories too, older but I've never been to any of the places… It's strange…"
"Do you recognize anything about them?"
"Uhh.. yeah Heero was in one. At least I think he was… it was strange. It almost felt as if it were me but I saw the reflection… I just don't understand… I.. I feel kind of dizzy.. I can't …"
"Wufei! Hey stay with us bud! None of this dozing off or having weird vision dream things! We need you to keep talking. The thing you saw Heero in, what happened?"
"It was confusing but I.. there uh there was a girl… She was laughing and she had a puppy and she was having fun.. but is was strange it was like I couldn't understand why she was laughing or what it meant to be happy. Then things got blurry I think I.. err Heero or I don't know something happened and there was a room… and a man.. I was afraid but again I didn't really know what I was feeling at the time. I.. it became very strange and confusing… Never again.. That's all I can really remember.. I don't know.."
As Wufei told of the dream Heero's eyes widened slightly and he looked down at the floor a contemplative look on his face. Duo looked at him in askance but Heero didn't say anything.
"Heero. What is it do you know something we don't?"
Wufei looked over at them and saw how Heero was steadfastly staring down at the floor. "What is it?"
"You saw a little girl playing with her dog?" When Wufei nodded his affirmative Heero continued, "And did she… was she picking flowers? And singing…" Wufei's eyes widened and he nodded. "She's dead. The girl. She died."
"Heero how do you know this? What do you mean she died, I don't understand?" Duo asked in a puzzled tone.
Heero whispered, "I know because I killed her. …. I'll never forget the..the doll and the dog. I.. I buried them. And left. I never turned back. I just left. Never again."
"I heard that… it was like I was thinking it but I know it wasn't me." Wufei looked confused but sat up and asked quickly, "Something happed later didn't it? Something to you, in that… that room… I … it was honestly terrifying… I felt like I was dying inside or something."
"I.. oh.. Re-education. I had stepped out of my mission parameters, I failed. I will not fail again. I will not let that happen again."
"I.. Heero… that's horrible. But how in hell does Wufei know this? More importantly how did he well see it?"
Heero retorted harshly, "Maxwell, how should I know. I've never told anyone before. Hell, I've put in the back of my mind for a long time. Listen I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the drugs they gave him, at this point anything is possible."
"I.. think Yui is on to something. There is somebody. I think he is in charge, I keep seeing or remembering him… he said something about Para-psychotropic solution or something.. I don't remember it all. I don't know.. I just can't think…" Wufei fell back to the floor and breathed heavily. I won't let them see how much this hurts… I won't…
A loud crash resounded hollowly through the cells. Heero and Duo swiftly went back to their places and feigned indifference. Wufei's breath quickened. Footsteps rung echoingly as shadowed figures approached. The door to Wufei's cell swung open, revealing an inky form shrouded in silence.
Then a harsh voice croaked out, "Time for your treatment Dragon Heir. Mr. Vyschrick would like to begin the practical tests soon." Gravel Voice stepped into the small cell and took an small device and fixed it to Wufei's neck. No matter how Wufei struggled he couldn't avoid nor injure the guard. A whooshing sound of air and Wufei's struggles slowed and quickly ceased. When his form was finally still Gravel Voice and his crony undid Wufei's chains and pulled his form out. Heero and Duo couldn't see what they did outside the cell but they heard the door close with a loud clang.
"Shit. What the fuck are we supposed to do now?"
"Wait."
The light swung forlornly above, spraying shadows about arbitrarily.
