The Special Ones (MiniCat)

Chapter 1- The Escape

Craig's/MiniLadd's POV

I sit in the corner of the bloodied room, my knees pulled tightly to my chest. I stare at the locked door with hatered. Soon, two men in lab coats are going to come in and do more painful experiments. This experiment is supposed to let them take full control of my body. It'll make me an emotionless weapon of mass destruction. That's all we are. Destruction. At least that's what the scientists say. They say we're special, yet they treat us poorly and call us every name under the sun.

       I growl when I hear the door to my room unlock. It slowly creeps open, leaving me in suspense even though I know what's coming. I stand up from my spot on the floor and raise my fists in defense. I'm not going to let them take me without a fight. If they want to take control of my body and my powers they're going to have to earn it. I head pokes out from behind the door with a smug grin plastered on their face. "Hello Mr.Thompson." The scientist greets me evilly before fully opening the door and walking in, his lab partner following closely behind him.

       I stare at the two with disgust, but an idea come to my mind as I stare at the door standing wide open behind them. I can speed passed those fucks and shut the door before they can even blink! One of the scientists pull a syringe out from their pocket. "Now Craig, are you ready to become one of the most powerful beings in the world?" The one without the syringe asks me as they both approach me at a painfully slow pace.

       "Nope!" I exclaim before I use my super speed to zip passed them and shut the door. "Hey! Let us out of here, Thompson!" They demand from the other side of the steel door. I need to get out of here before they call security! If I want to be free than I need to go, but there's still one problem... The others. If I leave the other Special Ones here, they be under the labs control and they can easily track me down. I need to free the others!

       I smile before zooming through the hallways, searching for a steel door similar to my own. I stop when I see one and catch my breath. Once I free this one I won't be able to use my speed to get the others because this person will never be able to keep up with me. I unlock and open the door, staring at the person inside with admiration. The person in the cell is a tall man that looks to be around my age. He has sparkling green eyes with a beautiful tint of blue to them.

       The man stands in a fighting stance until I hold my hands up in surrender. "Easy buddy, I'm busting you out of this shit hole. I'm not going to hurt yo-AHHH!" I start, but I'm cut off by a body crashing into mine. "Hurry up and shut the door! I've got the escapee!" A mans voice booms as he pins me to the ground. "Run!" I yell to the Special One that's in the room. I watch as the man bolts out of the room and into the action.

       He hold his hand out in the direction of the second guard and the man goes flying down the hall, his back slamming against the wall on the other end of the hallway. Telekinesis... The remaining guard stares at the man in horror as he pins him to the wall and knock him out with his mind, saving me. The man extends his hand for me to grab, so I do. He yanks me up with incredible strength, making me fall into him. The man doesn't even budge at the sudden weight being thrown at him. Damn, does this guy have telekinesis or super strength?! Jeez! He let's go of my hand and smiles at me. "Thank you." He says. "I should be thanking you for not completely ditching my ass." I reply, returning his smile.

       "Well, you're welcome, I guess." He chuckles. "Um, I know this is probably a bad time, but what's your name?" I ask neevously. "Oh! I'm Tyler! What's your name?" He responds. "Craig." I answer before grabbing his hand and dragging him down the hallway. "What are you doing?" He questions with an eyebrow raised. "We have to save the others before the scientists take them over and use them to hunt our asses." I explain to him, stopping at yet another steel door, but this time it's wide open. "No! Get away from me!" A mans voice pleads from inside the room. Tyler and I look in the room to see two scientists cornering a tall, mortified man.

       Before anyone can react, I speed into the room and take out the two unsuspecting scientists. Once they're taken care of, I run to a wall and lean on it, panting like a dog. My blood sugar is getting dangerously low... I can't use my speed anymore until I get some food. (Mini is now the new Flash xP) "Damn Craig, you have super speed?! That's fucking bad ass!" Tyler praises me from the doorframe. "T-Thanks." I say in between ragged breaths. "So, what's your name, bud?" Tyler asks the man we just saved. "David..." He answers, dumbfounded.

       With that, Tyler, David, and I move on to the next Special One. We open the door to see a man in the same situation David was in. Since I'm too tired, Tyler decides save him. He simultaneously slams both of the scientists into the wall. "Go! Hurry!" He tells the man. The man nods and runs to our side before Tyler releases the men and runs out of the room, shutting the door and locking it. "Thanks! The other Special One isn't too far from here." The man says. "Wait, how do you know that?" Tyler's asks. "He has X-Ray vision." David answers for him, confusing all of us. "And how do you know that?" The man asks. "Well, you see Brian, I have telepathy, so I can read your dirty Irish mind." David grins, leaving all of our mouthes agape. "Alright, let's just avoid where this conversation is going and just move on with our lives, shall we?" I say before walking off, the guys following my actions.

Just as Brian said, the next door wasn't too far from his. We open the door, but we're greeted with something we weren't expecting. The two scientists are already unconscious and the Special One is flying above them with a pride-covered face. "Uh, we were coming here to save you, but I don't guess you really need saving..." David laughs, catching the man off guard. The man has Raven black hair that's styled in a Fohawk with chocolate brown eyes. He raises an eyebrow at us before flying over. "Well, I guess it's the thought that counts." The man giggles before we move on.

       As we move on, we collect two more Special Ones. We get Brock who can heal others and Lui who can change his voice to sound like anyone he chooses. This leaves us with one more Special One and we're right at their door. We open it to see that the scientists already have the man pinned down, the syringe coming down on the Special One's arm. We're too late...... Unless... I use what's left of my energy to speed over to the three and take out the two scientists. As soon as I finish off the last scientist, I collapse onto the floor. I feel all of my strength being sucked out of me as my vision blurs. "Craig!" I hear Tyler's voice call, but I lose consciousness before I can hear anything else.

(There you go. I hope I've done better with this book than I have with my past ones...)
