Introduction
the rumours that have been circulating for years are finally confirmed. people with superpowers of all kinds do exist. these people quickly rise to fame and begin taking a more active part in society. it's seen as a good thing; freedom.
April 2nd, 2015
research begins into finding out exactly why people are born with powers. are they born with them? a genetic mutation, perhaps? the research is harmless. observations, screenings, demonstrations of just how far they can push themselves. more and more knowledge is being gained, with no cost or harm to those taking part.
April 27th, 2015
one company, infrai corp, is reported as being a little too aggressive with the 'test subjects', as they were labelled, in an attempt to replicate powers in ordinary people. the company was quickly brought down for inhumane treatment. but that wasn't going to stop them.
December 15th, 2015
infrai corp managed to fly completely under the radar, using the profits they had already gained to relocate to an island the infrai family already owned. in the new year, their work would begin again.
January 13th, 2016
people start going missing. not in huge numbers, and with seemingly no link between them other than the fact they were young people. children, teenagers, occasionally young adults. some were recorded as having powers, others not.
these people are being taken and tested on by infrai corp. since moving out of the public eye they're able to push these people to their limit and beyond to try and replicate and develop powers. early attempts do not go well. nearly all die.
March 3rd, 2016
the second wave of trials goes better, but it's far from perfect. a person could be given enhanced vision, only to go blind in the next few days. some merely go insane, clawing at the walls of their underground cells. eventually, all are dead.
July 16th, 2016
finally, success. wave six possess nearly perfect replicas of the powers. maybe a few new side effects, but so far, nothing fatal. wave six are put through an intense testing schedule. those that do well are treated better than those who don't. anyone that rebels is punished, but never killed. the head of infrai corp doesn't want to destroy his best work. he's taken a liking to them, and the testing.
September 3rd, 2019
wave six are still suffering on infrai corp's island, with measures put in place to make sure they can't use their powers against the staff. they dream of breaking free and escaping back to the mainland where people will treat them better, rather than the pain they feel daily at the hands of the sadistic testers who have taken a liking to this job.
you are part of wave six.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 12 authors
The teenager twisted in Nick's arms at his words - whether it was due to pain or trying to be free, he couldn't tell. Probably both. It seemed logical after what had just happened. A suggestion had been put forward to test the healing abilities she seemed to have been cultivating recently, and Nick had happily taken that on board by firing two bullets straight into her stomach. Fairly tame, in his opinion. Now it was just a matter of waiting. The whole action seemed gentle, almost caring - the male comforting the female, carefully dropping to the floor in her cell and putting her down. But every action was tainted. The comforting words tinged with a smirk, the slight height at which Nick dropped the girl from so she bounced off the hard floor, the way he abruptly left and slammed the door of her cell shut. She was rather harmless, the poor fragile thing, so a thick heavy door wasn't needed. Merely bars; a standard cage. Not like in the cases of some of the people they had here on the island.
Nick still had the gun he'd used only a few minutes ago, and he quietly pulled it out of his pocket and held it ready. He still had a few bullets left. Might as well put them to use. For a moment Nick paused, spinning around and looking at the cells in the corridor he was in the middle of as if deciding who to pick on, before doubling back and heading for Vivid's. Why not test her unique skin a little more?
A smirk spread onto his face once again as he tugged the door of her cell open, before all of a sudden firing a bullet straight at her right arm in the same movement along with a blunt order of "Force it out."
Setting
0.00 INK
He probably would have said more, had he not been distracted by something behind him. And he had a fairly good idea as to what it was, or rather, who. "Oh, Andras..." He sighed, giving Vivid a quick wave before slamming the door shut behind him and leaving. Humming to himself Nick crossed the corridor, not breaking in the tune as he paused for a moment before deciding to at least put the face shield on before entering the cell. Sure, the power resistance his oh so lovely father had granted him helped, but he preferred to keep that care close to his chest. Sighing heavily he tugged open the door to Andras' cell, quickly crossing the small room. "You really should stop doing this, Andras." Nick fiddled with the restraints, undoing a latch and pulling out a drip cord. Inside, the means to sedate this particular subject. "They've got you slated for death and all of this showing off doesn't help your case." He punctuated his last words by stabbing the drip into Andras' arm, probably a little harder than necessary.
Setting
0.00 INK
The footsteps of well-polished Nordstrom shoes sounded in the hall, accompanied by the sound of prisoners flinching away as Tony Griffin passed by their cell. Today the man wore a crisp, expensive Italian suit, perfectly matching his shoes. His hair was neatly combed back. He was the picture of perfection. Except for the blood stains splattering the neatly folded white lab coat he held over his arm.
The man sighed, glancing at his Rolex watch. "Nick?" he called, strolling down to the cell he needed and rapping on the bars. He lifted his eyebrow at the sight of fellow tester Nick Grieves standing over the motionless body of the cell's inhabitant, Andras. Tony had tested on Andras many times before.
"Nick!" he cried, stepping into the cell and nudging the boy's unconscious body distastefully with the tip of his toe. "Dear God. Tell me you didn't kill another; we're going to run out of test subjects if you keep--" He took a deep breath and massaged his forehead. "Cell 25. Vivian "Vivid", the girl with the chameleon skin. Why is there blood all over her cell?" He gave a stern look. "I heard those gunshots, you know. Why aren't you filing a report right now? We've had this conversation, you can't just go shooting subjects willy-nilly, this is for the purpose of testing. We need those reports."
Tony tended to look down on Nick for his violent tendencies. Sure, Tony could be just as sadistic at times, but his intention was always the furthering of science. These poor, disgusting, unfortunate souls were different from human beings. He was always searching for a "cure". And sure, if a few test subjects had to go through some pain for it-- well, the end justified the means. It was for their own betterment.
For this reason, Tony was always nagging Nick. Despite the two of them being of equal position here at Infrai Island.
"The shots were for the purpose of testing." Rolling his eyes Nick prompted Tony to leave the cell and followed behind him, tugging the door shut. "I wanted to see if she could force the bullet out. She could, with no problems other than nausea." Then he folded his arms, smirking at the older co-worker. "I was going to file a report, but I stayed down here for a more benevolent reason. You did bring their food down for today, didn't you? It's all I've heard these people talking about for several days now."
Continuing through the corridors until he had reached where he had been meaning to go it he took one look at Nick and then at the Cell in which Vived resided in. The whole thing had passed by the time he had got their but he still knew what had went on, tilting his head slightly he turned towards Nick, His Smirk covered by the black material covering the bottom half of his face.
โ You sure do like causing them pain, but remember we still need them for testing, so it would be quite a shame if one of them got damaged..โ
"COME AND GET ME YOU BASTARDS! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE NERVE TO DO ANYTHING TO ME BECAUSE YOU'RE TERRIFIED!" She loved to taunt them. It was rewarding, even with the pain. They had tried to break the fight out of her, but she was just too stubborn.
She was hurting her arm, but she continued to throw herself against the wall. They wouldn't allow her to do too much damage to herself, since that would harm their research. No, it was only okay if that sicko inflicted the pain. She thought his name was Nick, but she really just called him sick bastard. She hadn't been tested on today, and she knew it was going to come, so she was going to fight it as much as she could.
"COME TRY TO TEST ON ME, I DARE YOU! YOU WON'T LAST FIVE SECONDS!" She let the empty threat hang in the air as she yelled through the window.
With a sigh, she took the book that one of the scientists have kindly lend to her, "It's better to be alone than having someone hurt you in the end."
Suddenly Jak heard Andras acting up, resulting in Nick knocking him out, only to be scolded harshly by Tony. Instead of listening to the two argue like he normally would however, Jak decided more sleep was required. Silently he phased back into the shadows of the small bed, feeling comfortable within the darkness as he soon fell asleep. He only hoped that he wouldnโt be woken to get tested on.
The door suddenly opened, revealing a minor scientist by her door, "We know you've just ended your last test run but we forgot some tests that you must do." he said while reading the clip board he was holding then looked at her, "Come with me, Hawkins."
Skylar stood up quietly and placed the book on her bed. She then followed the scientist our of her room and into the test room. Her dark eyes stared dully at the screen waiting for what exactly they what her to do, "So troublesome."
โI will take it from here..โ
The lower ranking scientist took one look at him before nodding slightly; handing Yohance the clipboard, though his facial expression showed that he wasnโt happy that Yohance had decided to take this one over, though he had no choice considering Yohance was of a higher authority then him. Watching him walk away Yohance scanned the clipboard before looking back towards Hawkins, the smile on his face covered by the fabric over the lower half of his face. Though anyone could tell he wasnโt exactly normal, then again he wasnโt he did have the power of illusions.
โAh Hawkins, youโre the one with electrical ability no, able to absorb it and use it no..?โ
He knew about her power completely and he was almost definitely intrigued about, though there was loads of test subjects in the facility there was only a few which actually interested Yohance. Those with usual or useless powers didnโt intrigue him one bit, he was more interested in the deadly powers, the ones that caused destruction. Letting out a faint chuckle he looked towards Hawkin once more.
โLooks like you need to get a few blood and bone samples taken again and then it seems they want to do the same as the previous test once more, see if it has a different outcome..โ
Charles paced through the small dark room. A thousand thoughts were going through his head.
How long has it been 4 days, a week? Those Bastards, I show them something new and they lock me in here. But I know what they are going. โI know what you are doingโ Charles yelled while looking at the Camera in his cell.
It was a small cell; there was a single small and dim light on the ceiling and no windows. A small bed and chair where his only companions. The only source of daylight came from a small hole in the door that only opened once a day to give him his lunch. In other words it was nothing special, except that it was especially damp. After last test where Charles showed them his ability to collect and absorb liquid out of thin air they decided to change his cell. They hermitically closed the cell and started humidifying the air hoping to see how much Charles could last without directly drinking water.
I could kill them, I know I could. I just need to touch them, drain a little moisture out of a vein and โpopโ, instant internal bleeding. But no, itโs too early, I could probably kill one maybe too but Iโm not strong enough. I need to be able to this without touching them.
They thought they could get rid of me before, but I surprised them with this new ability. This demonstration should give me a couple of months before they decide Iโm not useful anymore.
Charles played with the idea. He will have to find something else to give them in a couple of months, but for now he will train and get stronger.
He turned his head toward Vivid, hearing the girl call out to him. Shooting Nick one last scathing look, he walked down to her cell, even as he heard Brooklyn scolding her for speaking out. "Nice to see you're doing well, Vivid," he said emotionlessly. Tony always tried not to show any emotion one way or another when he spoke to the subjects. He didn't want them to think he was their friend, but he didn't want them to hate him either... those poor unfortunate souls, he thought, slightly nauseated at the thought of how... different they were.
He glanced down his clipboard and flipped through the pages. Who hadn't been tested yet? He looked up and saw Hawkins being led away by Yohance. Let's see...
Making a decision, Tony pulled out his keys and shoved them into the cell of Brooklyn Jones. "Jones. Out." He glanced over his shoulder and snapped, "You too, Charles." The boy had been yelling at his camera again. He wondered whether Charles knew that the cameras were only turned on when there was some kind of commotion.
Then, he made a quick, and probably unwise, decision. Unlocking Vivid's cell as well, he told the three subjects, "Time for testing, kittens."
They were only supposed to hurt subjects once a day. But hey-- Nick hadn't filled out any paperwork. Nobody would know if Vivid got a little extra attention. She fascinated him so.
She knew they hated it when she hurt herself; they thought they would loose research. She had tried to kill them in their dreams, but their defenses only made it possible for her to be present in them. It gave her satisfaction knowing that she could find their darkest fears and play them like a movie. It was a great feeling. Unfortunately, they were working on a defense for that.
"YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF PUSSYS! YOU'RE JUST SCARED THAT I'LL HAUNT YOUR NIGHTMARES AGAIN!" She wanted them to open her door, she had a plan.
Before Brooklyn knew it, Tony had made his way toward her cell and shoved the keys into the keyhole, unlocking it with a bit of a jingle. She hated being told what to do, as if she was some sort of child or animal, she wasn't either of those nor was anyone else there. A soft growl could be heard escape from her lips as she let herself slowly touch down onto the floor, softly.
Brooklyn Hesitantly followed behind him, watching as he let out both Vivid and Charles as well. There wasn't very much a doubt in her mind that Tony would be sick minded enough to want to give out pain to more than one subject.
"I'm not a cat," she said under her breath, keeping her distance enough away from Tony to feel safe within herself. It wasn't very often that feeling safe came along, even if trying to feel that way.
Tabitha
Tabitha walked down the long corridor of the facility, clipboard in hand as she wrote down onto her. The woman's shoes made quite a loud 'click' and 'clack' on the hard floor beneath her feet. It seemed as another typical day within the place, subjects screaming due to the pain most testers placed on them, others cooped up in their cells after said events, all the same. As she continued her way down the hall she noticed a couple of her colleagues standing around, one of them was taking three of the test subjects for most likely a dose of pain. The other she wasn't very sure about at the moment, no likely no good though.
When she had gotten close enough to them she stopped, looking towards the two than at the subjects with the one. "Good evening Tony, Nick," she greeted them both kindly, "to you as well Brooklyn, Vivid, and Charles."
She'd always liked greeting the subjects as friendly as she could, it kept her in a sense of mind that she was only doing this for scientific purposes, though it never really felt like it. "Going off to do some work?" she questioned curiously, knowing the answer already of course.
