I Don't Belong (Warren Worthington iii Fanfic)

Chapter 16: Torture and PTSD

(Vivian's Pov)

I fluttered my eyes open with a pounding headache. I groaned and sighed feeling so heavy and exhausted. I panted and tried to move my muscles but I couldn't. I couldn't feel anything, even moving my head was too painful.

I heard talking which sounded like an echo through my ears. I breathed heavily and shook my head trying to shake it off. I blinked a few times letting my blurry eyes adjust to my surroundings, "well, well, well. It's great to have you back Vivian" I heard a familiar voice say.

I continued to blink my eyes and shake my head letting everything adjust to where I am, guess whatever they dosed me with had more affect then I realized. I looked to see a blurry silhouette of a man which made me growl and tilt my head a bit "My, my, you sure have grown since the last time I saw you Vivian" He said,

Once my eyes adjusted, I looked to see I was not only strapped to a bed in restraints to my hands, legs and torso, but also in a cage. My eyes widen as my heart began to race. I looked around trying to see where I am but it was hard to tell because I was in a cage and tied down like some filthy animal.

I struggled against my restraints which felt like hard metal chains scraping against my skin. I groaned and felt my anger rise and adrenaline course through my veins. I heard the man chuckle and walk towards me "well, well, well look who's finally awake. We thought you'd be awake sooner but I guess we'd hit ya more than we'd thought" The man said, I glared at him "who are you?" I asked, the man chuckled "William Stryker" he said, my eyes widen a bit...I swear that name sounds familiar and this place seems familiar but how? How?

*Flashback*

I was just a child when all of this went down but I couldn't seem to remember but now all of it is suddenly coming back. I remember the stories James told about what happened to our parents on how our mother was unfaithful and cheated on our father with the groundskeeper and on how our bio father killed our stepfather and James killed both him and our mother and we ran...

But there was pieces my brain missed after that...pieces that don't make sense or things I seemingly can't remember...After me and James ran, we were also with my somewhat half uncle Victor Creed...James also told me stories about him and how they went to war together...

I remember James told me that when he went to war, he always had me in a safe place during those times because James didn't trust anyone with me, but he always knew where I was and I always listened to him and never wandered off. But then I remember James and Victor being recruited for some other group of super people from the man named William Stryker...

But James soon walked away from it all because not only did he wanna work for people like Stryker but he couldn't put me in harm's way...so he ran; he ran as far as he could so he could raise me to be at least a normal kid and away from all the crime and violence.

But as soon as I turned 10, not only was my mutation beginning, but William Stryker came back...he found me and James, I'm not sure how but he did and he said he could make us stronger and wanted us to help defeat Victor Creed because he was going after everyone and killing them...

Knowing James, he'd do anything to hurt Victor, or at least teach him a lesson so he agreed...but he didn't exactly know all that he was in for. We had followed Stryker to this place up North in Canada...it looked like a bunker of some sort...I remember Stryker had all these scientists to help with whatever he had planned for me and James...

I remember being so confused and afraid and holding onto James for dear life...James held me tightly and promised he'd never let anyone hurt me and that he'd always keep me safe...We followed Stryker to this tank and he had told us he made a new metal compound known as Adamantium he said he'd infuse us with the indestructible metal to defeat Victor...
