Before this they had taken anyone they could get their hands on: a bum on the street corner,  a girl walking home at night by herself.  The experiments always left them dead. However, this time they were confident  it was going to work, they were going to turn ordinary people extraordinary. They would take a world where powers didn't exist beyond the imagination and show them it could be done. 

There was a group of scientists working around the clock testing their serum on different people. Sometimes the person would die immediately, and sometimes the person would become stronger than any average person could be or they would turn invisible right before their eyes, but it always ended in death. This group were visionaries, and it was time to show the world what they were capable of. 

The leader, and funder, Eric, enters the room and says "It is finally time that we choose the people that will make history, we choose who gets to be great. After we give these  individuals the serum, no one will dare go against us. Everyone will see how powerful we are. They will all bow before us. 

However, before that happens we have to choose, we need people that the public would notice if they go missing, people the public will mourn. Our serum works best with those under twenty-five. Who will it be?"

------------------

The tall man with black hair and eyes just as dark turned towards Eric 

"Are you serious!? We have spent years  perfecting the serum! we could turn anybody into an incredible being, and you chose One Direction and the girls they're dating? I have not spent the last decade of my life on this project to give a boy band superpowers! What makes you even think they're worthy?" 

Eric glares at Darius. He is tall and slim but underneath his expensive suit he is toned. His dark eyes were burning with anger, and Eric could see the killer within him.  He decided  keeps his voice neutral because everyone was watching, or he would've killed him Darius right where he stood. 

"Darius, they are the perfect ages, everyone in the world knows who they are, and they will be easy enough to capture. I have thought this through. You say you spent the past ten years of your life working on this project. Well,  I have spent my entire life thinking about it and the past ten years and funding it. I have the ultimate say, and I think they are perfect."

"It's the last concert of our tour, after this all I plan to do is go home and sleep." 

"Yeah Harry, I'm sure you won't want to spend time with Paige or anything," replies Louis.

 Harry rolled his eyes at his best friend, "Yeah, well, I guess you have a point." 

Before Louis could respond someone knocks on the dressing room door and yells "ten minutes!" Louis, Liam, Harry, Zayn, and Niall all look at each other. Even after all this time they still get nervous before every concert. They absolutely  loved what they do, and sometimes they still couldn't believe that they were here.  

There was another knock on the door,  and Niall went to go open it "we're coming!" he yells.

 Niall opens the door and he finds a  tall dark man with black hair and black eyes. Just looking at this man made Niall uncomfortable 

"Uh, can I help you?" he asks. 

"Of course," replies the man, picking a piece of lent off his suit "Eric is very interested in you, even though I don't think you're worth it. But who knows maybe I'll get lucky and you'll die." 

With that he pulled out a taser and tazed Niall. 

As he fell to the ground Liam jumped up and demanded "What is going on?" 

He did not get an answer as their own  security team turned against them. They held them down, put bags over their heads, and knocked them unconscious. 

Darius pulls out an envelope and hands it to the security team. He let out a sigh. "It's ridiculous, really, how anyone could be bought for the right amount of money. Now get them to the van. Make sure no one sees you."
