"You stupid girl, get up and do it again!"
Amazonia groaned as she felt every muscle in her body burn like an inferno. Why couldn't they leave her alone, yet still she dragged herself to her feet. She couldn't understand why she was still going, she shook unmercifully but reached down and gripped the metal bar in front of her.
She closed her eyes and focused her energy onto the bar in her hand; she felt it change as she manipulated the molecules of the metal. She opened her eyes and gazed at the sword she produced, a smile graced her lips. The men in white coats rushed around making notes and gazing over her like perverted hunters. But she was so focused on trying to keep the shape of her weapon she had no time to see the greed filled eyes.
"That is much better Amazonia, next time try not to waste our time and try to actually produce some decent results" the man scowled at her looking down at her, making sure she knew about it.
Amazonia looked away, growling a little "Yeah, cause I am totally doing this on purpose" she grunted
"What was that?" At that Amazonia bit her tongue and looked up at the eyes that tried to bore holes in her body with his stare. The man tsked in disapproval and then batted his hand dismissing her. The girl pushed her hair behind her ear and bowed before leaving at a run. But it didn't stop her from hearing the cruel man's words as he mocked her and her appearance. She breathed heavily to stop her eyes from forming tears and when she arrived in the main hall she quickly set herself away from everyone so that she could mope in peace. Although she was interrupted
"Kesesesese, hey Amazonia what's wrong? Sad because you know you'll never be like the Awesome Me?" he emphasised the last two words and made them sound like a name whilst he hovered over her. She growled and flicked his nose to which he whimpered like a dog.
"Get lost Beast you uncivilised piece of –"
"Whoa totally unawesome, you can't call me that!"
"I can call you what I want and you caught me when I am not in the best of moods so just bug off, or better yet turn into a fly and let me squash you!"
"You sure you haven't got similar powers to me because you're really good at being a bitch!"
Amazonia stood up and brought her foot down into the chair snapping it in a satisfying way, she grabbed one of the broken pieces and it turned into a flail
"Oh you wanna fight, wild boy?" she growled. And he responded
"If you want it!"
The two suddenly went silent as both were hit with Sedation darts. Beast looked over at the soldier and even though his words were slurred he spoke
"You…bastards…"
Mam was once again in the room grinning with malicious ideas. She uncrossed her arms and clapped her hands
"Alright everyone, it's time to go outside" she announced watching them all get up and make their way over. Her heels clicked against the tiled floor and she laced her claws through Solaris' hair, who froze for a moment "You however are needed elsewhere…" she smiled leaning over the boy getting so close that he was blushing
"Err…ok…" he stuttered not quite sure how to handle the situation. She grasped his hand and pulled him away, Mirror watched and growled. He was growling because the idiot was letting himself get walked all over and was completely not because he was jealous. He turned and stormed outside leaving his brother to follow completely confused.
The head slowly walked down the corridor listening to the sound of his shoes as he moved lonely through the laboratory. He looked up to see Mam awaiting outside a room, saluting him she had a smile of satisfaction on her face
"Hello my dear, how goes the treatment?"
"It is going well" she replied straightening up "As expected he resisted at first, but he has gone under and we are ready to continue"
He nodded and entered the room, there were two large armchairs in the room, in one sat a large man in a suit and the other, the sleeping form of Solaris
"Hello sir…we're about to begin the step into his subconscious"
"All we want to know is if anything strange has occurred, something out of the ordinary"
Nodding the man in the suit turned his attention to the sleeping boy
"Solaris… we're about to take a trip down memory lane"
"Ah huh…"
"I want you to tell me about a time when something unexplained happened, perhaps something that you shouldn't have been able to do"
Solaris eyelids flickered as he began to think back to his past
"There….there was this one time…" he mumbled "We were…driving…somewhere…"
"Oh? And what happened?"
"There was a crash…my father was bleeding…I gave him…I gave him my coat, it was really snowy…my father said…not to, it'd be too cold….I'd risk my health…" Solaris stopped then breathed "I didn't listen, I had barely anything on, and yet he was the one succumbing to the cold…I didn't know what to do…I held him…begged for it to warm even a little…"
This was when the head became intrigued; the boy had access to his power long before it was truly activated.
"The air felt warmer…even the snow around us melted…" he smiled at the memory
"Was there any other time?"
"My mother….told me…when I was a baby…she could have sworn I held fire…and I was always playing with the fire in….the hearth and yet I never got burned…"
The head felt himself get excited, this could prove very useful. The suit looked over to him and he gave a nod, the man got up and stood at the boy's side leading him back into the realm of consciousness. Taking his leave he stole a glance back at the boy as he woke up, smiling though his brain was still half asleep
"That was a good siesta…" he purred as he was hoisted from the chair. Then the head closed the door and made his way back to his office.
Later that night the teens were all gathered in the sleeping area. As soon as the doors were locked, Solaris yelled in delight and dragged a cursing tomato to sit by him at the container forcing the boy onto his lap. Slowly they all surrounded the area questioning Solaris on why he was taken away
"Oh I don't know…I kinda fell asleep"
"You fell asleep?" Summon asked swallowing hard. Summon nodded.
"You fell asleep during a test and you're fine? Lucky bastard…" Mirror cursed batting the Spaniard's hand away when he felt him get too close to his curl.
"That is pretty unusual…" Glacier added yawning. Atomic crawled closer and hugged his brother protectively
"Actually, has anyone noticed we're less rebellious lately?" Harmonic asked as Reflect hung off his arm blinking at the thought
"Ve~ Come to think about it, I seem a lot happier with doing what they tell me to…"
"And being more respectful toward 'em…" Mirror blinked "I haven't sworn at em once"
"And I don't run away as much…" Atomic seemed puzzled over this. Glacier seemed worried
"When did our view on them change?"
Solaris seemed to be hard in thought when his gaze slipped to the British teen who, feeling the eyes on him, tried to turn away. He went wide eyed and shot up to stand, somehow keeping his grip on Mirror, with one arm he pointed accusingly at Summon, a memory spurring him on to question the boy's behaviour and the connection it had.
"You've been helping them!" the others blinked confused, Summon seemed to tear up but he shook the tears away
"What are you talking about?" Beast asked, raising an eyebrow
"Oui mon ami, he hasn't that kind of power"
"He can enter dreams…" Solaris narrowed his eyes voice bitter "And he isn't defending himself!"
"I'm sorry…" he hiccupped a little, subduing his tears "It's my fault…"
There was a hushed silence. Then uproar as questions, insults and hatred filled the room. Summon shied away, knowing full well he deserved every insult and hurtful word. Flora tugged at her brother and whispered to him.
"SILENCE!" the outburst caught them off-guard and they stared up to see Brother practically growling at then. Quickly they bit their tongues and sat up expectantly
"Summon?" the boy looked up to see Flora hanging of Brother as he stared at him "Did they hurt you?"
He nodded and hugged himself "I didn't want to do it but…they know how to make me do things…it's the reason why I've been so distant…"
"How did they find out?" Solaris asked. At this Summon went bright red and twiddled with his fingers
"W-well…it kinda happened when I w-went into…" he gazed up to meet Briar's gaze. It took a few seconds but then Briar realised what he was referring to and went red too
"You…you mean that dream…where you…you and I…" seeing the boy nod in approval "Oh mon Dieu…" he paled and cupped his cheek then smiled happily "Well, it's nice to see you feel the same way" he winked seductively. Summon rolled his eyes and Beast started laughing
"Mein Gott, the dream that made you deliriously happy? This is awesome"
"But don't you see!" Harmonic yelled, bringing their attention back "We're done for, even if we know our minds are being educated to their way of thinking."
"Ve~ H-Harmonic, does this mean we're going to lose our minds?"
"They will turn us into robots…" Amazonia growled
Solaris sighed then thought hard, he held Mirror close then looked over to Summon, releasing the boy in his arms he crawled over. Summon looked at him terrified, thinking he was about to be beaten black and blue, he never expected the boy to start whispering in his ear.
He went silent and mulled over what he was being told "Oh yeah, I can do that…" he eyed Solaris up suspiciously. The boy had a plan it appeared.
"Right, who here has successfully escaped?" Solaris asked smiling. Summon rose his hand as did Beast
"I got close…" Mirror pointed out, Reflect veh-ed and then bounced onto his brother
"Ah si si, and I got to see the control room once…"
Noting down the people who knew how to escape, he fished some paper out of the container and a pencil case and began to write things down, he turned again
"How did they discover and bring you back?"
"The gas…" they all chorused and Flora blushed, hiding in her brother's embrace.
"Ok… Flora…I need to know, can you control the gas completely?"
She nodded timidly. Harmonic looked over the plan Solaris appeared to be sketching
"May I have the pencil?" he asked and Solaris smiled and passed it over. He watched as the German called over his brother "Bruder…you've been to most places, help me map…"
Beast kesese-d and, sitting next to Harmonic, began pointing out and explaining areas. The group huddled closer, watching as the vast scale of the building was revealed. Beast liked to run around the lab and give the guards a run for their money so he had been practically all over the place including the air vents so the map came out more detailed then they could hope for
"So bastard…you got a plan?" Mirror asked
"You bet I do. We are going to escape, any objections?" he beamed happily
They all looked at one another with shifty glances and uncertainty, but they were willing to try anything.
"Then its settled" Solaris jumped up and looked over at the door "By this time tomorrow…we'll be long gone"

The Ability to transform inanimate objects into weapons- this seems to only be restricted to hand held melee weapons and cooking equipment strangely
Believed she can mend weaponry however it is still a theory
Has to be separated from Subject Beast on numerous occasions, the two seem to be forever fighting and only through sedative will they actually get along. Considering re education.
Is generally polite and well mannered around staff
