Voodoo Child (Max Mayfield X Male OC)

ZERO: Enigma's Snap

Voodoo Child

"You can call me...Enigma"

A boy sat by his lonesome in a dimly lit room, the room had only one locked door, all light unable to escape or enter out of it, the only light available was a dim one one the high ceiling. A one way mirror was the only other thing in the room, where scientists observed the boy, who was now in the fetal position on the floor, silently crying to himself.

The only other thing in the room other than the boy was a shadow, a silhouette with hauntingly white eyes and figure of an adult man. It stood at well over 8 feet tall and observed the boy as he lie on the floor. 

While the other kids in the lab had abilities like being able to move things with their mind or being able to create illusions, the large shadow was this boys, he didn't know it yet but this shadow, this Enigma was his.

"Silent treatment huh?" The shadow spoke casually with a haunting voice. The boy said nothing and turned around, facing the wall.

"If you spoke to me...they'd let you out, they don't know I'm here...nobody does...so speak to me, or your life here will be hell" The Shadow remarked, now crouching over the boy, who covered his ears in fear.

"You see all these people...these kids...their powerful sure...but were so much MORE" The shadow pleaded, but received nothing back from the boy.

"If you wanna wait here forever...that's on you...but I'm bound to you...I'm supposed to be helping you...so let me" The shadow said a final time, the boy slowly removed his hands from his ears and stood up, but only reached about half the height of the shadow. 

The shadow stood up to its full height, being so high it blocked the light coming from the ceiling light, he looked down at the boy with a white grin, his mouth closed, leaving only his eyes and rough shape visible. He had claw like fingernails, a thin build, long arms and a ghost like aura. 

"Their taking control of you...your a puppet to them...a slave...I haven't been controlled like them...I'm much too powerful for that" The shadow grinned. 

"Wh-who are you" The boy muttered. The scientists on the other side of the mirror frantically scribbled down notes of the boy talking to a unseen figure, the boy was the only one who could see the shadow.

"You can call me...Enigma"  The shadow muttered ominously, but his eyes suddenly turned to one of worry. "Is that too edgy, I don't want to seem like I'm trying to hard to be cool, but I mean I am cool...but I just want you to like me since we'll be spending the rest of our lives together and all..."

The boy was left incredibly confused in the sudden change of tone from the shadow, how he went to foreboding and scary to nervous and overthinking. The shadow cleared his throat and reaches his cold hand to the boys wrist.

"To these people...these...monsters..." He said as he grabbed the boys wrist, rolling up his sleeve, revealing a number.

"But to me...your more...much more...I need you to unlock your potential" The shadow asked.

"Wh-what if I don't want t-to" The boy meekly asked. The shadow seemed genuinely taken aback he didn't instantly agree with him.

"Then I'll annoy you until you do" He said with his haunting voice, a contradiction that confused the boy.

"F-fine...I accept" The boy said nervously.
