Snippet #1649154

"Don't misunderstand me." Subject 19 stated bluntly whilst looking straight at 12, who merely rolled his eyes, crossing both of his arms and huffing aloud in an irritated tone. It was the sort of thing you'd expect from a stressed out teen, being told off by their parents. "I am not trying to get rid of you... I am only trying to help you." Subject 19 spoke as he walked over to the monitors. "Yeah, yeah, I get it." 12 replied in an almost incoherent mumble. He merely watched as Subject 19 did something, he laughed and spoke to the computerized mutant named Subject 20. He sighed slightly, unfolding his arms and slumping his shoulders, cautiously walking over to the other mutant when he was finished. "Hey, um... Subject 19..." he put a hand over his mouth as he coughed to get the attention of the other, as his tone was probably too quiet to be heard. "I'm sorry." he swallowed hard as the words caught in his throat. "I know you're only trying to help, it's just... I doubt anyone can." he paused for a second, putting on a half-hearted smile. "Well then...What's the plan?"

Subject 16-B had just started the tour of the base, leading the three other mutants around Shield's hallways with perfect knowledge of the layout of it. He smiled and nodded in greeting to other mutants who addressed him as they passed, whether they were doing anything important or just randomly roaming around, they still greeted their commander with respect. "And this..." Subject 16-B said whilst he walked, stopping just outside a door and putting his hand around the handle. "...is the training room." With a turn of the handle he pushed the door open revealing a plain room, coloured completely in white with a blacked out glass window at the other side. "I need to talk to you personally a new interesting development has arrived." The voice of 21 was heard in a low tone, so that only Subject 16-B would have heard it. The commanding mutant looked towards the others for a brief moment. "I have to go do something else for a minute or two, Subject 20-B if you could continue the tour for them." He stated with a calming and reassuring smile before turning and walking briskly down the hallways to Subject 21's room.

He knocked on the door, pausing for a moment before calling out. "Master 21?" he waited for no reply before turning the handle and pushing the door in slightly, squeezing through the gap he created and slowly and silently closing the door behind him. He turned back around once the door was closed and greeted his Master with a low bow. "You wanted to see me Master 21?" Subject 16-B said in a formal tone, keeping himself bowed and facing the floor until instructed otherwise by Subject 21.
