James POV
I wake up and find myself strapped to the chair. I look around confused and scared. I didn't know what was going to happen. I notice my mom strapped to a chair. I stare at her with a scared look on my face. The look on her face was something I will never forget. Suddenly Dr. Drake enters the room holding some sort of dome mechanical contraption. He approaches me.
"Be happy for today is a momentous one. You are about to become our protector against terrorism. We are about to take a big leap in our Project: Wraith. I just wish that others appreciated my vision," he says, glaring over to Amanda.
"Is that what you're going to use to brainwash me?"
"Yes."
I struggle, attempting to remove the cuffs from my wrists. However, I feel very weak.
"Why do I feel so weak?"
"We blasted you with a special type of energy that we discovered could weaken your kind. Do not worry though. We will bring your power back to full capacity after the experiment is done."
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"To save the world and if you don't cooperate, I will kill the only person that you love."
I look back at Amanda and then back at Dr. Drake.
"I will do it."
Amanda's POV
I couldn't believe they were doing this to my child. Even though he isn't really mine, I have come to consider him to be my own.
"I am sorry James," I think to myself.
Suddenly I hear James' voice in my head.
"It's not your fault," James' voice says.
"You can read minds?"
"It's not that powerful yet but I can communicate."
James' POV
Dr. Drake puts the cap on my head. There is a wire attached to the cap. Dr. Drake pulls out a remote and presses a button which causes the floor beneath to move, revealing a water tank.
"Now let's begin!" Dr. Drake says.
He nods to another scientist sitting at a computer. The scientist pulls a lever which lowers my seat into the tank. It wasn't hard for me to breathe underwater. Suddenly I feel a surge of electricity going to my brain.
"Arrrrrgh!" I scream in pain.
It feels like several minutes but the electricity finally stops. My brain feels scrambled like eggs. I could barely think.
Amanda's POV
I knew I had to keep watching but I couldn't bear anymore. This tore my heart. I already lost my children to a school shooter and now I was about to lose another one. Dr. Drake brings out several bottles of chemicals. He pours them into several injection machines which submerge underwater.
"Oh no. It's almost finished," I think to myself.
James' POV
Suddenly I feel needles injecting into my brain. My brain felt fizzy and I blacked out.
