A/N: Hiya!

So, you guys seemed pretty surprised reading the last chapter! Trust me, when the idea popped in my head, I was shocked as well. I just think it's a cool idea for Mike to also be an experiment and have powers! It's cool, right?! RIGHT?!

This chapter, we might learn about Mike and his past. Key word: might. Haha! You know that I'm one of those people who likes to tease people about things in stories. I'm weird, I know!

Here we go!

El couldn't stop staring at Mike's wrist where his own tattoo lay. She was always curious on why she was number eleven and not one. Now she knew why. There were more subjects before her and somehow her papa was involved in it. She finally tore her eyes away from the tattoo and looked up at Mike with wide eyes. He gave her a small smile as he covered up his wrist.

"Guess we aren't that different, huh?" Mike commented. El chuckled at him and then decided to finally speak up.

"You have powers like mine? Or do you have some other powers?" She asked him, curiously.

Mike nodded at her. "I have telekinesis like you. No other powers. Unfortunately, that was discovered when I was born by bad people," he said, looking down at the ground. El rubbed his back to comfort him. Mike looked up and smiled at her before continuing his story. "They took me away from my family and took me to the lab here in town. I was raised there for thirteen years. They gave me the tattoo, naming me Nine. They shaved my head and performed horrifying experiments on me, making me weak and if I disobeyed, I got locked away in a small, dark room. Similar to your basement, but it was much smaller. I was also barely fed too," he explained. El gave him a look of sympathy, feeling bad that he had to endure similar things to her.

"How did you escape? Or did they let you go?" She asked him.

"I escaped. One day, I was being removed from the bath, otherwise known as sensory deprivation, and it was a frightening experience. So I killed the people who were letting me out and I killed whoever tried to stop me. Then I escaped through some pipes and made it into the woods. I had no idea for how long I was in the woods until I was found. It was a man and a woman, who I later learned to be my real parents. They took me in, fed me more food, and they taught me everything I needed to know, including more words. I even learned that I had an older sister and a younger sister. Then they enrolled me into school and I haven't seen the bad men ever again," Mike said, finishing his story.

El smiled at him and hugged him. Now she wished that she was the only one who had to face what she had faced before. She felt really bad that Mike had to endure similar torture. To her, Mike was the sweetest, kindest, and most understanding person she had ever met. She could trust him with anything now that she knew that they weren't so different from each other.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You are so sweet and nice. What did you do to deserve that?" El said.

Mike smiled at her. "I can ask you the same thing," he said. "Lets go back to the school, shall we? And after school, you can come over to my house so we can work on the project?" He suggested.

El nodded at him. "Okay. I'd like that," she said. Mike offered her his hand and she took it as they walked back to the school together.

...

After school, El was waiting for Mike outside of the building by the bike racks. She was going over to his house to work on the project and she was really excited. It felt like a long while before Mike finally came outside and over to her. She smiled at him as they went on their bikes and went to Mike's house.

He unlocked the door and they both stepped inside. El took a quick look around before Mike spoke up. "Mom! I'm home!" He said. "I'm going to be upstairs working on a project with my partner!"

"Okay sweetie! Let me know if your partner is going to stay for dinner!" Mrs. Wheeler shouted back.

The two then went upstairs to Mike's room. El looked around in his room and was amazed. There was all sorts of action figures in it and posters for all kinds of movies. Mike chuckled as he closed the door in his room.

"I love your room. It's so cool," El complemented.

Mike gave her a smile. "Thanks. I may be a former experiment, but I am also a nerd too," he said. "So are my friends, but we enjoy it."

"I think it's cool. And I love Star Wars," El said, holding up a Yoda action figure she found. Then she did her best Yoda impression by saying, "Mine! Or I will help you not!"

Mike laughed and then did his Yoda impression, "Ready are you? What knows you of ready?" They both laughed and El put the Yoda figure down. "I love Star Wars too. It's my favorite movie saga ever. And those new movies they have out? The Force Awakens and Rogue One are amazing!" Mike said.

El smiled as she thought about those movies. "I know! I love them so much! I love every movie I've seen to be honest. Even the horror movies that scare me," she said. "So, shall we get to work?"

Mike nodded. "Lets get to work. My phone or yours?" He asked. El shrugged, not really caring which so they used Mike's. The girl then brought out an entire script out of her backpack for the video and they went through it to make sure it was good. Then they started the filming process.

"Lets do this!"

A/N: I know, I know! Short chapter! At least I gave you something!

So, yeah, school started for me now, great! But you know? Maybe it's actually a good thing because I write when I'm bored and I was never bored during a summer. So in this point of view, it's a good thing I guess? But school still sucks ass.

I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
