Experiment 76B(Sam), sat in his cage feeling nothing but despair, the angels, Max, Iggy, Angel, The Gasman and his favourite, Fang had finally arrived to rescue them. He had been told by the various other experiments who had passed in and out of his life that these winged mutants, similar to him, had escaped and would one day return to free their brothers.
However, they were being pursued and hadn't had time to open his cage and he was left behind, feeling meaningless and forgotten. His only company now was Tania, or as Jeb and the white coats had so fondly named it, experiment 49X, but she had been sick for days now and they both knew her time on this earth was coming to a halt.
He held her inside his tawny wing as she shivered:
"Please… don't let me go"
Came a small weak voice that even Tania could barely recognise as her own. Sam could feel his love for her burning inside him, she was his baby sister, he had spent a few lonely years in his cage before she had been made. But now she was fading away, dying, right in front of his eyes, the pain was unbearable and he felt his heart being torn up, as if by the erasers themselves.
Tania, his Tania was to die the same heartlessly quiet way she had come into this world. Made in a test-tube, treated, not as a human being but as an object of science, a creature in a lab, never destined for anything greater than to feed the minds of greedy scientists. Now she would fade, disappear as if her existence had meant nothing.
Tania clenched her powerful claws in pain, her black nose dry, she was a failed experiment with a very short life span of just 8 years. Sam was enfuriated by the sheer injustice of the situation and could feel his rage building by the second, more and more until he could barely control it:
"I will save you"
He whispered in her ear. She muttered weakly in response. At last, Sam could no longer control himself, in an effort to calm himself down he grasped the bars of his cage tightly in his talons.
"Click"
And the door simply swung open freely. For a split second, Sam simply stared in awe,
"this is new"
He heard himself say, at last coming to his senses he grabbed Tania and held her securely, which was easy as, even at 8 years old, she was only about the size of a Tabby Cat. Sam then let his powerful legs carry him swiftly to the door through which he had seen the angels depart. As soon as they were through the door and in the sewers, he leapt high into the air and snapped open his wings, pushed down hard and, to his disbelief, he was flying. And as Angel heard Sam's voice, she regained some strength:
" We are free"
