To say that he was anxious was nowhere near enough what he was feeling. He had been alone, trapped in a room with menacing white walls without a single friend for ten years. Not even the guards or doctors would provide any kind of social interaction.
Now, K-10 was about to meet eleven other people who had been through what he had.
Who knows, maybe even worse.

—————

At this point, K-12 was trembling with fear and overwhelming anxiety. He felt lightheaded, his knees wobbled, unable to support the weight of his nerves and shaking bones. He was hyperventilating now, standing before a towering door that seemed to be the only thing separating him from whatever the hell 'Phase 2' was.
The lack of knowledge he was provided with made his pessimistic mind automatically calculate the worst possible outcomes.
The most terrifying thought? Ten more years of pain and suffering.

Time seemed to not exist anymore after the two locked eyes after not seeing eachother since they were about fourteen. The dark-haired bedhead stared at the reserved boy with so many thoughts and feelings swirling through his mind that he could not focus on what the guard was saying; not until the cat-like gaze he had been craving to see for so long was lowered, and their connection evaporated, leaving only tension hanging around them, passing through their brains and whispering into their ears.
At long last, N-01 could finally see N-05 again.

—————

"We're getting them together, aren't we?" A-02 asked. A-03 only smirked devilishly and snickered to himself. His former roommate took that as a 'yes' and the two began plotting.
By the end of the week, they were going to get A-01 and A-04 together. Let the world know it, because damn, they're determined.

"NO! Stay away from me!" The shorter one screamed at the lanky, silver-haired male looming over him.

"11, what did you do?" The shortest of N-block, N-03, accused.

"I didn't do anything! I just shook his hand and..." his voice trailed off as he watched how N-12 held his throat, slowly regaining the breath that had been forcefully taken from him in an instant. Guilt and horror washed over him, tears began to form in his emerald-green eyes and he slowly backed away from the terrified figure on the floor.

What he didn't understand is that everyone in this room was already tense, untrusting and uneasy. He also failed to recognise that his own, poisonous powers may have just almost killed someone within the first hour of Phase 2.

—————

The two walked back to their room, side by side. They didn't try to race eachother, they didn't talk or poke fun, they simply slow-walked in a comfortable silence, tired limbs dragging. The day had been amazing; they had gotten to know their fellow classmates better, learned more about their abilities and mutations. They shared many bonding moments, that of which were created by the simple toss of a ball. Sure, K-10 was hit in the face by the other team's powerful spikes but he enjoyed himself nonetheless.

Once they had returned to their room K-10 flopped on his bed like a star fish, then curled up into a comfier position. K-09 went straight to his bathroom on the left side of their room and started a shower for himself. He then cane back into the room and retrieved his pyjamas from his wardrobe and turned to his roommate, "You should shower too, you're all sweaty." He stated bluntly. The ginger didn't argue, he was exhausted. He went to his own bathroom and ran a warm shower, later copying K-09's actions and fished out a loose pair of pj's.

As the warm water ran down his back, he couldn't help but smile to himself.

Today had been wonderful.

—————

Finally, it all made sense to him: the suspicious way they were acting, walking around weirdly, whispering, odd glances. This is what they had been planning all along. Flames roared even louder, drawing closer to the huddled group. A-06 wasn't back yet, he panicked. Where are you?!

The heat of the orange and yellow flames surrounded them, making him sweat, making him suffocate, making him want to run. Even if he did, he had to be brave and protect his classmates, the few there was with him.
