"Alright you two, you have been assigned SCP-5034, AKA The Purple Monster."
Matt and Edd looked at each other nervously. Purple Monster didn't sound very good. This was their second day at the Foundation and was already going horrible. Edd was scheduled for three assignments and Matt had two more after this one.
"Your job is to provoke the man in the chamber until he shows certain signs of-" Dr.L was cut of by a thundering sound. The three men turned their heads to witness a large beast ramming it's horns into the protective glass.
Matt and Edd both jumped back at the sight.
What if the glass broke? Well, they would all be screwed, that's for sure.
The beast behind the window let out a roar and paused. It lifted it's massive head for a few seconds, it's nostrils flaring. Then it whipped around and dove into a corner.
The trio watched in horrified silence as the beast ate something, spewing whatever it was all over the walls. Then they watched as it turned around to find any chunk it may have missed. When it found all the meat lumps, it turned to the walls, licking off all the gore.
Finally, when the cell looked clean and perfect, the beast slumped down.
Edd and Matt were both surprised when it turned into a man, laying spread out on the floor. Groans were heard coming from inside the cell. When they subsided, the man stood up, walked over to a corner and curled up in a ball. Dr. L turned to the pair of men in orange suits. "W-Well then. It looks like you two are dismissed until further notice." With wide eyes, the pair both glanced back at the man, who was shaking slightly in the corner and left the viewing room. The pair walked back to the Cafeteria, silent until Edd spoke up.
"Well then," he sighed "That was a quick assignment!" They both chuckled at the thought, a quick assignment.
They were never fast.
Always long and boring and painful.
When they reached the Cafeteria, Matt sat down while Edd got two colas from the vending machine. Edd sat back down and slid the can across to Matt. Edd cracked his can open and took a swig. He wiped his chin and sighed.
"Matt," Edd asked "Why didn't you tell me?"
Edd was referring to Matt's strange healing powers. All he had to do was touch an injured person and Pop! there they were, good as new.
Matt and Edd had been caught in a park.
A kid fell out of a tree and Matt really couldn't leave him. Some lady had seen the kid stand up after Matt healed him and climb right back into the tree. She had remembered a commercial she had seen with a number attached.
Seen something strange? Are you scared for your safety? The Foundation can help! Call this number and Foundation employees will be there in a jiff to help!
With shaky hands she dialed the number and instantaneously a helicopter swooped down and grabbed Matt and Edd, the flew off.
What really scared the lady then was how fast the helicopter arrived and left. Matt had vowed to never do anything nice for strangers again. Edd had vowed to always check up on Matt.
Now they were here. Stuck in this prison. For the rest of eternity. Something told Edd he would be seeing that man again soon.
