Alexis Valentine's Story

Doctor/Echo

Doctor strolled down the dimly lit hallway and spotted two scientists who had fallen over, ears bleeding, blank expressions.

His eyes flicker up towards the barred door and opens the door.

"You..." He says, Echo's blank eyes stare straight ahead and a smirk cracks on her face.

"Me..." She says, Doctor takes a step back, mouth agape.

She had never spoken to anyone before. She sat there, crossing her legs and putting the teddy bear in her lap, staring in his general direction.

"Listen, I will not have you make a fool of me like you have. I brought you in, you should respect me."

Echo snorts a bit and then was violently grabbed by the arm, she opens her mouth to scream but Doctor slapped a rag around her mouth, tying it and injecting her with a needle and Echo suddenly went limp in his arms.

"Let's just see how tough you are, missy." He says and drags her down the hall.

Echo struggled against the drug, her eyes were fluttering open but Doctor was in a fit of rage and didn't notice. Echo grabbed his wrist with her other hand and her grip became fierce, almost a dead mans grip and Doctor let out a yelp as she pulled his hand back, hearing a snap in his wrist. She breaks away from Doctor and stumbles down the hallway, feeling her way through and opens a door.

She suddenly feels the presence of many other mutants, like herself and freezes up.

The perfect kid catching plan. Yates put an ad in the paper for a babysitting job. A young girl, Alexis, agreed to watch her 2 year old daughter for a few hours. WHen she was showing her around, Yates had slipped a fast acting sleeping drug into a drink she had offered her. Once asleep, Yates took the young child, along with her own daughter since she no longer had a babysitter, to the facility. "Here's the girl. Now where's my pay?" The clerk handed her 300 dollars cash, as a doctor came to take the girl away. "Sleeping drug should wear off in an hour. You can do whatever sick things you plan on doing then." She walked out, her baby on her hip. "Who wants ice cream?" The girl giggled as they walked out the door.

My hair burned in the dim darkness of the room and cast mysterious shadows across my face. I glared at anyone and everyone who dared make eye contact or even look at me, I was in a bad mood. Nobody I knew was in the room except for the pale, translucent girl. Part of me looked for the electric boy for I had grown to like him (ha, I'm not civil though so I doubt he knows) and also the little winged girl. She was so sweet and innocent.
Shut up. I tell myself. They are going to die, don't make friends.
I shifted against the wall and my vision rested upon a small girl about a year or two younger than me. She was crying softly and shivering with either fear or cold. Probably cold. I groan, walk over and sit down. I put a reassuring arm around her and share the heat of my fire with her. Her petite face looks up at me and I see her mutation. It's actually pretty terrifying.
Her skin is translucent but not like the other girl. Her eyes are a beady red but filled with fear, she has tangled snow-white hair accompanied by fangs and claws. The claws are like slender nails tapered to terrifying points.
The information comes to my mind that they split her genes using Anitecid Florent (whatever that is-no brain please don't tell me...) combined with the DNA-
I stop myself and manage a weak smile to the girl, but then turn my head to stare at the wall.
Should I be worried that the girl could attack me any moment? Nah, I could do that too.

"At ease" said Roland to the saluting guard as he stepped into the ward, most prisons even those running such delicate experimentations did not pay a lot of attention to rank and discipline but if any one of Roland's guards dared mess up on this posting there would be hell to pay. Roland was fully aware of the situation; a good number of guards both well equipped and trained, top rate tech and anti riot gear not to mention the very design of the prison that permitted total lockdown of every damn ward in the prison whenever Roland wanted to do so… unless some one took over the computer system or the ward gates nether of which had any real chance of ever happening.

However the cargo of this prison was unlike the usual; this prison was one great laboratory with the intent of creating the prototypes of super solders. With such unknown power who knows what could happen? That was the reason why Roland wanted his men to be fit, disciplined and impressive; by creating both the element of fear to the test subjects and an environment in the prison in which the chances of a mistake by one of the guards were minimal Roland could lower the chances of an attempt at revolt considerably. Three more guards stood up at attention and saluted as Roland passed into the ward, as he walked by the cells Roland called to the guards and said the action word "inspection!" as he said the word the three guards formed ranks and began the process of opening a cell at a time and searching it for contraband; there was little chance of finding any but the unscheduled searches put the test subjects on their toes and reminded them that they were never alone.
