I wake up. My head is spinning. I can't remember anything.
"Where am I? Did I have a hangover? Please tell me this is just a hangover." I say
"This is not a hangover." Says 0n1x0007. "We have taken you into our care."
"And you have done that because?" I say.
"We are studying your powers and how to control them." Replied 0n1x0007. "And we wish to keep you out of our hair."
"So is this basically a prison then?"
"It is a prison for powered beings. A lot of people here are going to try to kill you and we will not allow you your weapons."
"Well. A couple more can't hurt then." I say as I turn into a shadow and escape my cuffs.
Returning to human form I elbow the robot in it's core completely smashing it and turning off the robot.
I can't escape this prison so I may as well find my cell.
It's been 3 weeks. I have been tested everyday but the scientists have got nothing. I now know that Zachariah Stone, head of Stone Inc is in charge of what is going on. He will pay.
I dodge a blow directed for my head. The man is surprised. He has superhuman strength and good speed but not good enough.
He calls himself Crusher. Only a grade c criminal but he's had a grudge on me since I killed his brother. One of the men trying to rape that girl on the night of my capture.
I hit him with an elbow to his face. Then I make shadow chains which hang him upside down from a basketball net.
I'm done here.
I've done my morning exercise so I go to get breakfast. For a prison they serve some good bacon.
I've made a friend and ally here. Her name is Jessica Jade. When I escape I'm going to bring her with me.
"So. Um. H-h-h-how is your day?" She asked. She gets very nervous around me. I think she may have a crush on me. I won't bring it up though because I have no intentions like that.
"Good. How 'bout you?" I ask.
"Much better now that you're here hot stuff. OH MY GOD. DID I JUST SAY THAT?" She says just before she runs off. Yeah. She definitely has a crush on me.
I laugh as I walk off to my cell.
Two men wait as I walk in. I punch one in the face but the other uses his tazer on me. Great. I'm being taken for tests.
I wake up with a man sitting in front of me.
"My name is Zachariah Stone. But you will just call me sir." Said the man.
"You wish" I retorted.
"You have been invited to join my new team." He said. "If you do so in a month I will let you go. After you sign a contract to be part of my team of course."
"I'm not helping you in your wildest dreams." I said as a stood up and used my powers to clear a path out of the room.
