Reunion

William didn't remember how he got to the facility, but he knew he needed to get out. His last memory was of the pain in his neck and his mother, also in pain, reaching for him.

Next thing he knew, he was waking up tied to a hospital bed. He had sensors stuck all over his head that were attached to a machine next to him that he could hear, but not see. His head was being held in place and he was unable to see anything but the ceiling.

He opened his mouth, but nothing came out but a gurgle. It felt like he had not used his voice in weeks.

How long have I been asleep?

He thought to himself warily.

He opened his mouth again, "Help…" it was all that he could manage before his throat closed up again.

William closed his eyes and tried to think of how he got there.

The image of his mom came before his eyes. She had seldom left his mind in the weeks after her death and for the first few moments of awareness, he had forgotten, but now it came crashing back.

Not only was his mom gone, but so were his biological parents. At least he was pretty sure they were. Maybe not dead, but they were gone.

For now.

The sound of a door opening made him jump and Will tried to move his head again; forgetting his limitations.

"William, how are you feeling?" The voice was familiar but he could not place it, "I am sorry for all of the restraints. We did not want you to wake up and panic or hurt yourself."

The woman's footsteps came near him and William tensed up.

"Let me get these…" He felt the restraints on his ankles being loosened and then the ones on his wrist.

He still could not see the mysterious woman until she leaned over him to remove the restraints that held his head in place.

"Miss. Lewis?" This old friend of his mother's was the last person he had expected to see. It had, in fact, never entered his mind.

He had never spent much time with her, but she was around for much of his childhood.

"Hello William. I am so sorry for all of this confusion. When my people and I found you, you were in so much pain and we needed to get you to a safe place right away. You are safe now."

William began to sit up, "Where are my parents?" He was not sure if he should have been angry or not, he was mostly confused.

"They are safe."

"That's not really an answer," William's suspicion began to rise. Something was not right.

"William… you are gifted. I am sure you have known that for most of your life, but I am not sure that you fully understand how special you are. I know that your parents didn't. The truth is that you need to be with people who understand and appreciate your gifts, people who can foster your special abilities, and your parents are just not equipped for that."

"Where are they?" He was beginning to get angry and it was showing in his voice. She tried to touch his shoulder and he jerked away.

"We have given them new lives, happy lives."

"You are full of shit! Where are they?" William finally broke and yelled at her. She didn't react or seem surprised at his outburst.

"So much like your father. Such a righteous anger."
"You know my father?"

Her smile brought a small shiver down his spine, "I know your father very well. There is no need to worry about him. I will take care of him."

"I want to see them."

"Eventually you can see your father, but I want to make sure that you are calmed down before you can leave the room."

"What about Dana?" His voice sounded more desperate than he intended.

"She has a new life. A simple life which is what she has wanted for some time."

"No, she wanted a life with us, she said so."

"Well, yes she did, but she wanted a life without all of the craziness that comes with you and your father. There was no way for her to have that life, we have given it to her."

"You're a liar! You don't care about her or what she wants! Where are they?"

Diana brushed her hand over his hair and he pulled away, "William I would like for you to get some rest before we start your training. Once you have calmed down and have a clear head you can see them."

She waved in a doctor and William began to panic. Two more men dressed in suits came in and held him down while the doctor injected something into his IV.

"No!" William continued to struggle.

"I'm sorry, William. Soon, you will understand." Diana looked at him sadly and left the room.

William's mind spun as blackness overtook him.
