Element Lab and Testing Facility

---

“Sup, guys? Check it out, we got a new friend! Peeps, this is Wicca Hawthorne!”

Saeword smiled towards the new girl, the unfamiliar female seeming nervous and uneasy around the others. She was new after all so it was to be expected, and Saeword didn't think much else of it.

“Nice to meet you Wicca.” Saeword said softly as she watched Wicca, Blake and Adie converse between themselves. Ordinarily she would’ve joined in with the small group, but the girl felt best to leave the trio at that moment and simply turn to her brother who was otherwise busy amusing himself. The siblings merely looked to one another before poking and nudging each other in a playful manner.

”Seems to be quite a few new people at this place lately.” Abbo muttered absentmindedly as he took note of the increasing number of new recruits. Turning to his sister he sighed at that moment.”I guess it’s a good thing.”

Saeword nodded before running a hand calmly through Abbo’s ponytail. “The more the merrier, I say. Cheer up sour puss.” She encouraged the boy and nudged him again teasingly.

"You're from Germany!" she said exitedly, "I'm from Scottland."
"Ja I am from Germany " Wicca smiled at the thought that she wasn't alone but quickly shook the thought away. "Y-Yep! Anywhoooo....Adie's a cool dudette and all she heard Blake said making her look from him and back to Adie " I hope w-we can be g-good friends" she whispered looking down at the ground not meeting anyone's gaze. “Nice to meet you Wicca.” Saeword said softly Wicca froze from the sound of another voice and quickly nodded her head "N-nice to meet you too I hope we can all b-be friends"

Haytham spent the next few hours sitting around, and doing nothing in his dorm. It seemed everyone around him were all meeting each other. They'd be in here for a while, until they loose their humanity, he thought to himself. Haytham grew up in a different world. He had long since lost his humanity, his morals, and pretty much anything else that keeps your average everyday person sane. He planned, once he was powerful enough, to massacre every scientist, doctor, nurse, and government representative that resided here, in this, fucking rat maze. Haytham made his way out of his room, by picking the small lock to the left of the door handle. He made his way to where he heard some voices talking, and put on a smile and decided to try and be social. After all, these kids didn't need to know he wasn't human by most people's standards.

"Hey" He said, from halfway across the room that everyone had seemed to gather in.

"Hey"

Adie turned around and saw another teen standing in the door. "Hello." she eyed the newbie curiously, "I'm Adie. What's your name?" she asked. 'Why so many new recruits lately...?' she wondered to herself. She kinda liked the looks of this one, tough and not afraid to get stuff done. She made sure Saeword was occupied with something else before walking over to this guy. "So, you a tough guy?" she asked, slightly threatning, but amused at the same time. She new exactly what she was about to do. Her pale brown eyes looked up at him, waiting to see his reaction.

Haytham felt the room eyeing him. He spoke to the young girl in front of him with a mimicry of happiness.

"Names Haytham. What's yours?" He said in a bland tone, trying to mimic the happy, go-lucky demeanor that most of the experiments seemed to have. He looked around, at the other people trapped inside this facility. They all seemed, too young to be a part of this world.

"I guess we'll see in the practice hall" Haytham thought to himself, as he greeted them all with a classic fake smile and some encouraging words. There was no need for them to know what he was really like, not yet. He questioned each about their element, wondering what kind of tricks they could come up with.

“I say, my good boy, cheer up, you sour puss indeed!”

Abbo looked to the blonde haired boy before forced a smile on his features. A second or two after, he even chuckled a little in an amusing tone. “Look, I am cheered up. Happy?”

“Yes. Much happier.” Saeword smiled along with her brother.

“Hey”

At that moment the siblings heard another unfamiliar voice. Turning round on their seats they saw another figure enter the room, an older boy by the looks of it, who quickly caught everyone’s attention. It wasn’t long before the brother and sister watched as Addie and Blake greeted the male. The siblings eyed the strange figure curiously from where they sat at the table. He didn’t seem like the average person they came across in the facility and there was something about him that didn’t settle too well with them. Saeword decided to remain beside Abbo, though offered a friendly wave in the direction of the newcomer with an equally warming smile.

“Finish up. Your schedule for the Practice Hall is nearing.”
Wicca jumped in surprise Are we going to practice using our powers? she thought to herself I wonder what kind of powers I got. She watched everyone getting ready to leave before wiping dirt off her peasant dress

"eh? Can't wait to try them out"
Wicca looked up and him and smiled "Indeed I do, They never told me what power I have I guess i just have to find out" grinning and not realizing she took his hand "Can you show me the way to the lab?". She glanced down and noticed she held his hand, embarrassed she blushed and let go. "Oh I'm s-sorry that was um how do you say, Silly of me?".

Though the pain bothered him very much, given he had such a terrible limit on how much damage could there be for it to start to hurt, he threw the problem off his shoulders for a short while to witness Adie pulling off a wonderful pyro display. Flames that emitted from her hands danced and flickered all around, burning whatever's in its way. But what caught his attention the most, okay! Scratch that. What caught his ears' attention the most was the sound of an explosion.

Oopsie dasies.

Please, duck for cover.

With another scream of his, the voice of fear pierced through the now smoky area. In truth, once the clouds of 'something-went-wrong' wavered in the air, disappearing into nothing, you can find him crouching in the ground like Sonic would do before doing his spin dash, hands over head too. "H-Hey! Are you sure with what you're doing h-here...!?" He asked, trembling just a tiny bit. He stopped his blathering sooner when he noticed the funny sight of her hair being burnt slightly.

"Haha.....jackpot!"

With a silent evil smile, he crept over to Adie, her back facing him. He took off his soaking jacket and.......

"Extinguish!"

He yelled in glee, slapping the dripping jacket over her head, letting the water flow down to her face. He believed that some steam was actually present on contact.....Ooh. In a second, he dashed over behind the twins wide a wide grin.
