Thanks for the awesome reviews and yes this story will probably be more OC/fanon than canon for those who pointed it out, and I wish this stupid CXDXG love triangle never exsisted...its really annoying...
I took out a handercheif and swiftly cleaned her spit off of my shiney black lab shoes. Bronc whispered something in her ear and she hugged him. I was confused by this and I desperatley wanted to know what he said, but I decided to let it go. I watched happily as Bronc handcuffed 122 and took her back inside. I was completely satisfied with myself as I saw her squirm and beg Bronc to let her go. She stopped looking pleadingly at Bronc and turned her glance toward me. Her lips were creased into a stiff straight line and her eyebrows furrowed. That didn't bother me, but my smug look vanished when I saw the complete hatred in her eyes.
Wow, way to piss her off. But why should I care that she doesnt like me, shes a test rat. T-E-S-T R-A-T. Simple as that. But she is a pretty test rat...Gah! Why do I have these annoying conflicted feelings!
I deal with complicated forumlas and measurements EVERY day and those activities have never once hurt my brain. This on the other hand causes my head and heart a lot of trauma. I sat down on the garden bench and rubbed my temples. I heard foot steps but I didnt look up. Someone sat next to me and I could tell from the over-powering scent of Axe deoderant that it was Cody.
"God, Cody, using that much Axe isn't going to attract women." I pointed out.
"Well, testing on a bunch of people, isnt going to attract women either."
"Touché, so what do you want?" I said finally looking at him.
"I know you like Court-I mean 122."
Great, I've made my liking for her so obvious that even Lutenitent Oblivious knows it. "What! Why would you think that?" Cody is afraid of me, so me pretending to be mad will hopefully get him off my back.
"I just-you were-" He stuttered. My plan was working.
"Exactly, you don't have a legitiment reason to think I like her, so don't bring it up again or you'll be in serious trouble." Cody got up to leave but he stopped and faced me.
"I saw the way you looked at her and how you didn't have the heart to inject her." Damn, I hate when nerds get a backbone.
I looked in his eyes, he was saying this genuinley, he wasn't saying this as blackmail, he said it because he cares about me. I sighed, "Sit back down you doof." I said as I patted the seat next to me. He happily skipped back to the seat, proud that I'm actually acknowledging him on a personal level.
"You must really like her, if you're talking to me about it." I laughed, I don't think this guy could be anymore likeable.
"Well, you're the closest thing I have to a friend, plus I know you'll always be honest." He glowed with happiness, I really should stay away from him, he's too happy, and its worse that it's contagious.
"You do know she hates you." He pointed out.
I laughed again, "Yeah, I know, now get back to work, your happiness is spreading to me and its annoying."
He got up and before he left he told me, "You can never be too happy and no one ever said being happy is a bad thing."
I pondered on that for a moment, he was right, why am I so against happiness? I'm just a cold robot with no regard for peoples feelings, or other people in general. I don't know how to fix myself but I have a feeling that Cody will be a helpful person in my life.
I got up off the bench and headed back to the lab and saw 122's short brown hair resting on the testing table. Cody left me in a good mood, I think today I'll pity her and send her back to her cell, I was going to let her go anyway.
I walked over to the front of the table and I expected to see 122's lush onyx eyes but I met the eyes that were a faded green. I looked in anger as I saw not 122, but instead a young girl, probably 12 years of age. She started shaking and crying.
"Please dont hurt me, please dont." She had the the same hairstyle as 122 but otherwise she was completely differece in appearence.
"Please, just be quiet, I'm not going to inject you." She sighed a sigh of relief, "Well at least not today." I said the last part more to myslef so as to not freak her out again.
I went over to the phone and called Steve, one of my security gaurds, to take the little girl back to her cell. When I find Bronc, he's so going down. I got in the elevator and headed up to my room.
"Bot, coffee, make it black." I commanded.
"Would you like anything else?" A voice replied.
I looked around the room in confusin and I saw 122 standing in the kitchen. We stayed silent, just staring the other down. My coffee popped up from the counter, interrupting the stare down. 122 grabbed the coffee without taking her glance away from me.
"You had the chance to escape, why didn't you?" I asked trying to break the silence.
She didnt answer but instead chucked the coffee at my head. I ducked and watched as the glass shattered and brown liquid splashed all over the white room.
"There. Now the rooms not as freakishly perfect." She said bitterly.
"Are you going to answer my first question?"
"I thought a snooty scientist like you would already know, this stupid place is full of security gaurds, they wouldnt even let Bronc leave."
"Speaking of the neanderthal, where is Bronc?"
"Im not telling you." She snapped. "He knows you're going to punish him, and you have no heart. A ruthless scientific tyrant is what they all call you."
"Who's they?"
"All of us people- or as you would say test rats down in the place that never sees the sun."
She's rather fiesty, it both angers me and turns me on. "Fine! I'll add in skylights!" I said saracastically.
"You really dont have a heart."
"You dont think I dont know that? Its something I feel like Im stuck with, so you dont have to give me heat about somethig I dont think I can change." I said as I plopped onto the couch.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw her studying me. Trying to decide if I was being fake or genuine. She watched suspiciously at first but then took a seat next to me and held my hand.
"I kind of get how your feeling, when I was younger I was really competitve, I got so bad that all of my friends left me. The only supporters I had were my parents, they were the ones that pushed me to be even more competitive, but eventually I even drove them away. I didnt think I could change, no matter how hard I tried I always ended up wanting and needing to be number one. But one day, I met this one girl, Bridgette, she was the exact opposite of me, she was calm, relaxed and knew how to have fun. She was my best friend and she helped me through a lot."
"One question was she blonde?" I asked nervously.
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh nothing, she just sounded familiar." I said as I shifted uncomfortably.
"Dude, please dont do this." The surfer boy begged as my security guards were taking his girlfriend up stairs to be tested. "Take me instead!"
"Geoff, stop, I'll be fine. I love you." The blonde girl sighed.
"I love you too, Bridge"
"You can stop the mush fest, theres a 40% chance that she'll come back in one piece." I said casually as I took a bite of my apple.
"What about the other 60%?" The blonde girl asked nervously. I looked at her and then at her boyfriend, and I felt a small tinge in my heart. I saw the fear and sorrow in their eyes and I almost felt bad for them. But I shook it off and headed toward the elevator.
"You become a beast." I said as I the elvetor shot up to my lab. I put on my lab gloves, filled up the needle with liquid, and this time I truly hoped she would end up okay.
Of course she turned into a beast, but that was the only time I felt bad about testing on someone and now I feel even worse now that 122 has told me how this girl literally changed her life.
"You okay?" She asked sweetly.
"Yeah fine, so how are you possibly going to be able to change me?"
"Anythings possible as long as you have a friend."
Well, I hoped you liked it, my mom was annoying me to get off the computer when I wrote this so sorry for any mistakes! Review!
