Mark of the Mutants

Chapter 2

I squeezed my eyes shut, ready for impact when I heard a zoom and opened my eyes and looked into the sea green ones of my team mate Conner Berk.

"Need a hand?" Conner smirked. I just rolled my eyes, and shook my head. Conner's golden blonde hair was sticking up like he just got out of bead and I noticed he was still wearing his PJ's.

"Thanks, speedy, but I think I got this." I said as I flipped out of his arms and my feet landed on the now white tiled floor. The scene had changed to the blinding white walls that it usually is. I started walking to the door when a blur stopped right in front of me.

"Hey! That's the thanks I get for practically saving your life?" Conner pouted at me.

"I didn't need saving in the first place. I was fine."

"That's not how it sounded to me..." Conner smirked at me once again and sped away to the cafeteria. I laughed and started to follow. This is how Conner is, cocky, yet likeable. He's one of my best friends and honestly I couldn't imagine the team without him. I began to walk to the cafeteria when I stopped and saw the clock, 5:30. Hm I feel like I'm forgetting something, but I can't pin point what it is. I shrugged it off and continued walking.

I walked into the cafeteria which is basically like going into a time machine and going back to the 50's. The flowered wallpapered walls and blue and white checkered floor made it the most welcoming room in the whole Training center. I saw Conner with a mountain of food in front of him and I couldn't help but laugh as I walked over.

"Need any more food there?" I laughed as I sat down in front of him, but I could barely see him because of the massive pile of food.

"Hmm? Oh nah, I'm think I'm good" Conner mumbled mouth full of food, "So why are here so early in the morning?" he asked.

"Oh umm... couldn't sleep" I said.

"It's that flashback you keep having, isn't it?" Conner replied.

I nodded, "Yeah, it's more frequent then usual." Conner nodded his head knowingly because he knew exactly what I was talking about. He had escaped from the facility with me.
