The door swung open, and Edward and the two doctors stepped into a steel room, about ten feet by ten feet. (A/N: I'm Canadian, so 10 feet is really 3.05 m)
"This is our most high-tech spy training facility." said Dr. Mackenzie, his eyes gleaming. He looked around the room. "Built it myself."
Edward switched to high-def vision, and scanned the room. It was all steel, with a square cut into the floor near one corner. He thought it looked very plain.
"Ready, Edward?" said Dr. Vedelago, backing out of the room, and motioning for Dr. MacKenzie to follow him.
Edward was confused and unprepared and scared...he had no idea what to do. Suddenly, like a voice was speaking to him in his head, he could hear the kind voice of Dr. MacKenzie clear as a bell in his ear.
"This ear piece, Edward, is attached to your head. It's removable, don't worry." said the voice. Edward felt awkward in his new body, confused, and he felt like he was being pushed into something he didn't want to do. After all, he was majoring in Biology and planned to move out to Washington State in the US, to a town called Forks to study the temperate rainforests there. Being a spy, yeah it was cool, but Edward didn't feel ready for it. Spying...undercover work is for men, cool, strong men, not creepy half-robots.
And then it hit him.
Edward was hardly a human anymore. His reconstructed body didn't belong to him biologically, he was weird. He was a freak. He could never go out into public again.
He spoke to himself.
"Dr.-Dr. M-m-macKenz-ken-kenz-ie-ie?"
"Yes, Edward?" said the voice back.
"Why did you-you...do this to me...I can't-can't-can't take it...I'm-I'm-I'm a-a-a fre-freak!"
"It was for the better, boy." said the voice, harsher this time, than the voice of Dr. MacKenzie usually is.
Edward shut his eyes. He was terrified, and hated himself. It had never occurred to him before that no girl would ever love his metallic face, or hold his cold metal body close to them. He hated Dr. MacKenzie and Dr. Vedelago for what they did to him. He wanted to escape.
Edward ripped off the earpiece, and, infuriated, melted the door shut with his finger-laser. Now to get out of the steel room.
He suddenly realized that he had a pocketknife on the heel of his hand. Though the Doctors had ruined Edward's life, he silently thanked them for providing him with the necessary tools to escape.
He jumped to the side of the wall and clung on like a squirrel to a tree-trunk to the metal wall. Again, Edward realized that he was well equipped with necessary espionage tools.
He grinned a sour, fruitless grin.
The super sharp knife was thin and strong enough to create a thin tear down the side of the wall. Using a retractable hook on his middle finger, he tore open the steel lining to find a brick wall.
Edward leapt to the back of the room and fired a wrist rocket off of the metal cuff around his human hand. Metal coverings covered his eyes as debris shot everywhere, denting the metal walls.
There was a hole big enough for a raccoon to fit through in the bricks. Edward could feel cool night air blowing in through the hole, and his body yearned to be outside. After all, he had been over a month lying on a hospital bed, and had not felt fresh air for that long. He could hear Dr. MacKenzie and Dr. Vedelago pounding on the door.
Suddenly, Edward densed, and the coverings shot over his eyelids seconds before the metal door was blown open.
"CULLENNNNNNNN!!" screamed Dr. MacKenzie, his eyes burning and his face white. He lunged at Edward, who nimbly darted out of the way and shot the Doctor with his laser.
"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" the man screamed, clutching his shoulder, and jumped at Edward again.
Edward dove into the whole and managed to squeeze out of the hole.
The moon was shining bright as the half man, half robot sprinted into the night, darting through alleys, keeping in shadows and avoiding any humans on his way.
As Edward ran through the night, his eyes automatically flicked to night vision.
Though Edward was still a human, he didn't tire until dawn began to break and he was flying down country lanes, out in the middle of nowhere.
He was hungry and thirsty, but for now, he needed to sleep.
Or recharge my batteries, more like it. He thought.
Spotting a copse of trees near the road, he leapt easily the 8 feet to the lowest branch of the tallest tree, and curled into a ball.
Edward fell asleep, all thoughts of the days events erased from his mind.
