2. Chapter 1

Chapter One-

It has been 3 weeks since Tye and Jaime, along with the three other people (who they found out were Eduardo, Virgil and Asami), awoke and were put through tests and pain. Eduardo and Virgil were the first ones to get powers, Eduardo got the power of teleportation and Virgil got the power of controlling electricity, while Asami got her power of Chi Manipulation 3 days after them and Tye got his power, Astral Form Projection, 2 days after her. The only one who hasn't got his powers yet was Jaime and that was starting to worry the teens. They all knew that the experiments would start getting worse until you get your power, but if you don't after the worst experiment than the Reach take you and no one see's you again. Ever.

Anyway, the five, now, friends were talking softly to each other after Jaimes latest experiment when the door slid open revealing Black Beetle (as Asami calls him) (I know she speaks Japanese but she also speaks some English so deal). The children instantly went quiet and stared at him with wide, fearful eyes. Black Beetle stalked into the room and made his to the 16-year-old. The muscular man opened the pods door and grabbed the fearful boy, once his hand touched him the child instantly reacted. Jaime screeched and started to struggle. The other four began to pound on their pods glass and shout.

Black Beetle grabbed him harshly and made sure Jaime couldn't get out of his grasp before taking him to a different room. In the room was a monitor, a metal bed and a dozen pods, Black Beetle carried the struggling boy to the metal bed and slammed him down on his stomach first. Jaime layed there stunned long enough for the humanoid bug to strap him down. Jaime recovered and fought against the restraints causing them to dig into his skin.

"Ple-please let me-me go" the 16-year-old cried as he slowly gave up fighting, "no mor-more plea-eas-please."

"I can't do that Meat" Black Beetle purred as he rummaged through a cabinet, "we still got one thing to do before we declare you a failure."

Jaime winced at this and closed his eyes, 'no please no.'

Black grabbed what he was looking for before turning and heading back to the strapped down boy, he placed something cold on the center of Jaimes' back. Jaime screamed as a jolt of pain ran through his back than the rest of his body. The scream escalated into something more, something worse. Soon the pain disappeared and it left a dull throb, Jaime felt his mind begin to get forced into the back of his head and fought against it. Tears built up in his eyes and ran down his face as his mind felt like it was splitting.

"ARG!" Jaime screamed and tried to curl up but the restraints didn't allow him to, "STOP!"

Suddenly all the pain disappeared. Like it was never there. Jaime panted and slowly opened his chocolate colored eyes and saw nothing. He gasped and blinked rapidly but still nothing.

"No" Jaime whispered in absolute horror, "no. No no nonononono."

Panic wrapped around the boy and a strangled scream left his mouth.
