The NeXt Weapon X

Close Calls and Operations

 Storm's P.O.V:

The man shrugged at Logan "sorry Logan, but you know how the director is when he wants someone."

He pressed a button on his armband and I felt the ground beneath me disappear. It felt like there was no oxygen in the air and after a few seconds later everything went black.

When I woke up I was in an all metal room. No windows. No chairs. Nothing.

Suddenly I wasn't in the room, I was 6 years old again in Cairo Egypt under a bunch of rubble. The stone was everywhere, it was pitch black. Rubble was crushing me.  My five year old self screamed for an hour, this feeling of panic and hopelessness took over. So this is how it ends I thought as I felt a rock stab at my sides.

"Whoa, fetal position Friday."

Instantly, I was back in the metal room looking up at my kidnapper. "What do you want?"

He shrugged "I have no idea! I'm just a secondary character in this book."

What is he talking about? "What?" I asked, extremely confused about what he was talking about.

My kidnapper waved me off. "Oh nothing," he said as he winked to no one in particular. "Just passing time until I can shoot you." He pointed what looked to be a tranquilizer gun at me and fired.

Before I could even react, I felt the dart pierce my neck and I fell to the floor.

When I woke up I was in a different room strapped to a chair. A person in a mask was facing me. "So Storm, how do you feel?"

It felt like someone had crushed my skull. "My head hurts."

The masked man nodded "that pain is very little compared to what most patients feel while going through the operation."

OPERATION?! "What operation? What did you do to me?"

The man laughed. "I have made you immortal. You will never age again, but don't worry, there's more to come. We must wait a week for you to recover then we can give you the ability to heal almost instantly. Because of the operation we just preformed you won't age, but you can still be injured or killed just as easily as before."

"No. You're crazy, you can't just transform someone like that, it's impossible."

He smiled "of course it is, the man who captured you is a product of our experiments as well."

No, it can't be true!

The man aimed another tranquilizer gun at me and pulled the trigger. I fell asleep instantly. Shocker right?  

Once again I was back in the room. I can't sleep, and can't look around without my claustrophobia going into hyper drive.

Then a few hours later I felt a tremor in the wall and after a few more tremors the wall caved in revealing Logan. "Logan! When did you get here? How did you find me?"

Logan smiled. "No time for explaining we've gotta get you out of here Storm."

I nodded and followed him down the endless white hallways. It was almost impossible to keep up with Logan so I tried flying but nothing happened.

While running Logan answered the looming question in my mind. "They made this underground and encased it in a certain element that blocks mutant powers. You might want to calm down though you've made quite a storm on the surface."

I took a few calming breaths and hoped that the storm had ceased. We ran for what seemed like hours but was most likely only minutes. When we turned a corner and a bunch of this facilities employees were standing there with guns aimed at us. I look to Logan knowing with his fighting skills we can get out of this. Instead of taking a fighting stance Logan looks at me and smirks. Suddenly Logan's face transforms and is replaced by an all to familiar blue face.
