Chapter 2 - Ch2

Will's PoV

William was walking to school with his sister and brother when he noticed a piece of paper flying with the wind.

"Come on Will, we're going to be late to school!" His sister exclaimed.

"In a moment, Maggie." he raced towards the drifting piece of paper, past the coaches that were going by. He threw his bag onto the sidewalk, invested in the piece of paper and what was written on it.

He ran past the rickety wooden houses and towards the beech trees. The paper started flying like a bird, Will quickly on his trail.

The piece of paper started tumbling towards the sea.

"Got you!" Will leaped towards the paper, then noticing that he just jumped off a cliff.

3rd PoV

Alex looked around, meeting the eyes of 6 more people sitting near the corners of the white room. All of them wore the same uniform as Will, with different collar, wristband, and shoe colors. He looked down and saw that his collar and wristbands were a light cream color.

"How do you know what it says?" Alex questioned.

"So you got the translators, but not the eye enhancers? I thought you must have gotten them, based on your eye colors," Will mused.

"I guess I was blessed by the gods," Alex replied.

"Sure. Anyways, the two girls over there are Diana and Marie. Next to them are the nerds, Leo and Isaac. On that corner is the one who seems to have weird powers, he's Gregory or something. Then there's the muscle-brain Achilles over there." Will said.

"Got it. So what's this place about?" Alex asked.

"This is apparently a human testing facility. They replaced my spleen with something, Diana's chest got a surgery, and Marie had some of her veins replaced." Will replied. He walked towards the door, placed his hand on the scanner, and walked in. "Also, here's the restroom. Beds are on the right, and food is given in 30 minutes. A table will form in a few minutes."

Alex's PoV

It's been a long time since I came here. There's no clock, so I can't really tell. What I can tell is that there are certain intervals between the different events that happen. Food comes every day when we the lights turn on and 4 hours before the lights go out. Every other week, other than on the last day of the week, at least one of us are gone for the entire day. We come back right after the second meal. When we come back, there are visible changes in our bodies. For example, we're still eight or nine, but we all look and act 13 or 14. The clothing changes sizes automatically, is waterproof, and dirtproof.

"Today's meal is curry meatloaf with dinner rolls. Please hydrate well." The speaker's robotic voice resonates around the empty room.

The days are getting repetitive as we don't have any entertainment or work, so we test out the abilities that were given to us by the lab.

William's abilities are deception, mind control, and enhanced speed.

Isaac's powers are Telekinesis and Gravity Manipulation.

Marie's powers are Analyzation, an ability to analyze and examine evidence, and make predictions based on the evidence, as well as enhanced eyesight.

Leo's power is "Jack of All Trades". He can copy all abilities, but only use them half the efficiency of the original user's.

Diana's powers are adaptability, charisma, an ability that makes people friendly towards you, and deception.

As for me, I have enhanced physique and enhanced senses.

Us six start attacking one of the shining walls when the wall starts glitching out. The white paint goes away, revealing a blueish green barrier. behind the barrier is a huge amount of people dressed in white, writing on devices. The white paint comes back, and the room returns to normal.

The door opens, and in comes a girl who seems to have been through the same procedures as we did. She's wearing a gold collar with gold wristbands and sports shoes.

"Hi, my name's Cleo! Nice to meet ya!"
