It Wasn't Real

Chapter 5

A/N: Thank you to everyone who Faved, Followed, and Reviwed! Your continued support is greatly appreciated!

After hours of driving, they finally made it to the base. Arthur got out first then motioned for the others to follow. Once everyone was out of the bus and in a group in front of the base, Arthur led them in.

It was a rather small building compared to the facility. The building itself was well kept and had quite a few windows, making it look larger on the inside. The walls were a cream color, the ceilings high, and furniture cozy. It looked less like a base and more like a home for an extremely large family.

They were led into a giant living room with enough space to fit about three times the amout of people in their gorup. Arthur clapped twice, gaining the attention of the awestruck Gladers.

"I would like to quickly catch you up on what is going on. To start, we are on your side. We came to rescue you from facility A. This facility is run by a group of scientists working for the goverment. It was created to test the gifted to find out why they have the abilities they have. They kidnapped a bunch a kids to test on. You were all taken from your families and forced to undergo these tests. For that I am sorry, we were unable to attack until we had enough men and equipment."

A Glader raised his hand. "Yes?" Arthur asked.

"What are our abilities exactly?"

"That I don't know. You will just have to find out yourselves."

"Wait." Newt spoke up. "I have a key card with a list of our abilities." He held it out.

Arthur looked shocked. "How did you get that?"

Newt blushed. "I might have stolen it and broke into the information room."

"It was you." Gally said shocked.

Newt ignored him and handed the key card to Arthur. He took it and turned it on, opening the files. He began calling out the abilities everyone had.

"Winston has Psychic Constructs, Alby has Psychic Shadow, Chuck has Psionic Shield, Newt has Precognitive Dreams, Minho has Illusion Manipulation, and Thomas has Telepathy." He finished.

Another Glader raised their hand. "Why haven't we been able to use our abilities?"

"Because," Newt cut in, "the simulation put a lot of strain on our brains, so our abilities won't work until our minds have rested."

"Well, not all of us." Gally said. "You said you knew Chuck's ability because you dreamt it. Why does it seem like you are the only one who can use your ability?"

Newt shrugged. "It could be because you have to put conscious effort into your bloody powers. I just have to fall asleep."

Arthur nodded. "Now that everything is settled, let's head to the dining room."

They all sat down at the table and began eating. "Do you have anymore secrets you wish to tell us?" Gally asked.

Newt shrugged. "No, not really. I'm pretty much an open book now."

After dinner, they were all back in the living room. "I would like to ask for your help." Arthur began. "My team and I are planning a revolution. Our government has over stepped its boundaries by kidnapping and experimenting on kids, all we ask for is your help. You don't have to say yes, but I would like you to know the government won't stop hunting you and other gifted kids down, unless we take them down. For those of you who are willing to help, training starts tomorrow. For those who aren't, you may stay. We won't treat you any different, this is a safe house. That being said, there will be a guard posted outside your rooms at night to make sure you're protected. You will, however, have free reign of the entire mansion at any time." He finished his speech, and left.
