((OOC: Sorry, had to get off for a little bit. I've caught up now, so I should get cracking!))
Crimson was stepping out of the weapon room when he saw someone he didn't recognize shooting people with darts. Not good. Before he could nock an arrow, a guard siezed his bow and quiver. Then, two scientists grabbed his arms. He struggled, but it was no use. He shut his eyes and waited for whatever punishment to await him. He heard the man's footsteps echoing on the concrete floor. Suddenly, he felt a small pain in his arm, then it was all over his body. He shut his eyes and his throat, trying not to scream. He didn't make it past five seconds. He was thrown back into his original cage, the door locking as it normally did. His body still felt on fire, but not as bad as before. He stopped howling and began to regain his thought process. Angel escaped...his smile broke through, despite the fact that he was in a load of pain. If he'd have reacted faster, he might've escaped with her. Instead, he focused on Shadow Man's gun and it costed him. He watched sadly as the other aides were writhing in the same pain he was in, some more than him with the extra shots. Goner had two and Cat Girl got four shots! That would be too much for me to bear...he thought. They took Goner to experiment on again. He stared bitterly as they noticed that "Subject 17" hasn't been tested on recently. They injected him with something and he was out like a light.
When he awoke, he was on the experiment table again. The pain from the shot was gone now. "Just relax..." the scientist said, smirking,"We're only going to test on you a lot more." He closed his eyes, not even wanting to know what they would do to him. A familiar pain shot up his arm. He knew it was a shot. He opened his eyes. Everything was dark, fuzzy, and painful. Every time he moved his eyes, a sharp pain entered his mind. This was the worst one yet, he thought. He closed his eyes once more until they were done. When they were, they led him to a training room, a gun on him the entire time. They wanted no funny business from Crimson. Once they got there, they tied him to a chair, his arms, legs, and head. He couldn't move anything except his eyes. Across the room, there was a fan. They turned it on and a blast of icy cold air hit his head at top speed. This was torture, he thought as he began chattering. A few minutes passed and the fan was still on full blast, the freezing air penetrating through his head. Stop it! STOP IT! he screamed in his head and wished desperately for the cold air to stop. As if on command, it stopped. "Why'd you stop it?" he asked quietly. The scientists were talking rapidly amongst themselves. They seemed excited and pleased. He turned to the fan to find it still on. "What the hell?" he cried out. One of the scientists untied him and pushed him towards his cage again, the gun still pointed to his back. What did I do? He knew this test was successful and he had another power, but what was it? He was thrown into his cage and he hit the floor. But something was different this time. Instead of the cold floor he experienced every time before, this time, the floor was warm, almost comfortable. He stood up, still puzzled. He began pacing yet again. I now have some power that makes everything warm to my touch, he thought. It was the only reasonabe explanation he could come up with. But why? How would that be useful in combat? Whatever, he thought and went to sleep. He had enough planning for tonight...meanwhile, a scientist was talking to another scientist about their success. "It's official. We've tapped into his skin and now he's able to withstand any weather imaginable. Freezing cold, blazing hot. The only side effect is that his skin changes color to whatever he's radiating. Crimson for heat, cyan for cold, et cetera."

"Yes sir," Jerome replied, no emotion detectable. Inside he knew that the result didn't go as planned. He had watched, mouth open in awe, as he saw the creatures escaping once again, not even an hour passing between the last one. This was supposed to be a more successful day, a day where he explained all of the breakthroughs they had and how many of their projects were safe for army members to use against their opponents.
But no, the subjects got in the way of that because they chose to try and escape again. Brown had to resolve that problem. As the result, he was now furious at them and he had to take charge. Jerome had to handle these cretins better. He turned to Theresa. "Our previous conversation can wait. You bring your two troops and Brenda to go find the winged girl. I'll take care of the subjects, the scientists, and the hunters. They need to be better trained in situations like these. Now go." He left the room and entered the containment room. No scientists was to go alone and he approached three scientists tossing subject 17 into his cage. "The results?" he questioned. "Successful," was the reply. "Excellent," he replied back, then a thought hit him. "This was the one who destroyed my sniper rifle, right?" he asked them. Two didn't know since they weren't there, but the third one did. "Yes sir," he replied. "Once he's awake, take Subject 17, Crimson, Subject 3, Alex, and Subject 2, Sari to my private containment cell." Another "Yes sir" was heard before they left. He turned to each of the subjects he previously listed. He was going to get his revenge.
