Doctor's Story

Echo

A haunting hum can be heard from the cell, scraping of bare fingers against the dusty concrete floor as the voice grows softer.

Softly the voice whispers, "Shh... They can hear you..."

Footsteps bound across, shadows forming past the small crack between the door and floor. Echo stares blankly at the crack, letting in poor florescent lighting from the outside hall. A sigh escapes her tiny body frame and her dark, milky white eyes look around, nails scraping against her arm where they had placed a chip inside

"Itchy..." She mutters, vigorously scratching at the long scar up the middle of her arm.

Muffled voices are heard from the outside and Echo resides in the corner as they stop in front of her cell and she pauses her scratching to stare down the crack as two different set of feet shuffle from the outside hall. Lips pull back into an inhumane growl as she listens closely, she lets out a short shriek and the people outside her door fall over.

A smirk cracks onto Echo's face as she waits for a response, and in no time, she received it. Echo's small hands grasp the teddy bear as she turns her head slowly to the left, then to the right. She lets out a sharp giggle and chews on her lower lip.


Doctor

"Send him down." Doctor swiveled in his chair, hands clasped, thumbs twirling. A boy with bright red hair and aviators covering his face stumbles in, two guards holding him down.

"And what is he called?" Doctor asks, examining him, clearly displeased.

The red haired kid leans back in the chair and lights a cigarette, "Blaze." He says, taking in a long drag. Doctor stands up, and walks over, taking his index finger and his thumb, putting out the cigarette.

"I don't allow smoking in my office... Blaze..." He spat out the name, staring him down for a moment and then snaps his fingers, "Guards, take him into Room 301...."

The red head kid was dragged out and Doctor goes to his coat rack, putting on his white lab coat and grabbing his clipboard and a set of keys . With much haste Doctor begins to walk towards 301.

Room 301 is much like an interrogation room with a separate room with one way glass. Doctor watches Blaze for a moment as he sits in the white padded room.

"Remove your glasses, son." Doctor presses down on the intercom button, his voice bounces off the white pads of the walls and Blaze looks around for a moment.

"But.."

"Remove." Doctors voice pounds into the intercom and a chuckle is heard throughout the room and Blaze, with much discomfort takes off the glasses, revealing bright, electric eyes.

"Clear..." The Doctor turns off the lights, and presses another button, gasses begin to fill the room and Blaze suddenly whips around, red lazers shoot out of his eyes, but bounce off the white pad walls and go right back towards Blaze, a scream is heard, then silence.

"Music to my ears." Doctor chuckles and jingles his keys, "My work here is done, boys."

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.
