Not the Same

The Experiment

When Lance woke up, he almost screamed when he saw his leg. His leg wasn't flesh anymore. Instead a metal prosthetic was in its place. What have the Alteans done this time? 

Lance rested his head against the cool metal walls, tears falling down his cheeks. Why him? 

Why did I have to be the one to go through all this torture?  Lance thought. 

Suddenly, the door to Lance's cell opened. Two Altean guards walked in and picked up Lance. Lance tried to stand on his leg, but he wasn't used to the prosthetic yet. 

They made several twists and turns, Lance tried to memorize each hallway as they walked. They stopped at a door with weird yellow markings on it. When the door opened, Lance was shoved into the room. 

The room had white walls and floors made out of the same material. In the middle of the room were two white tables. On one wall of the room, there was a window that only one side can see into the room. Another Altean scientist stood in the room preparing a machine that sat in the corner of the room. 

Lance was forced to lay down on one of the tables. He was then strapped down with a rope that glowed gold. Lance had seen the rope before, if you struggled against it, it will tighten and burn you. 

The Altean scientist walked over to Lance after the guards left. What was this torture room going to do to him this time? 

Lance had been in a room very similiar to this one. But instead it was a chair and the room was gray. They had eletrocuted him for whatever reason. Lance hated being a labrat. It was a miracle that he escaped. But now he was back.

After the scientist walked around the room making sure everything was in place, He walked out of the room. Lance could see a little movement behind the window. 

Suddenly, the machine in the corner burst to life. Gears in it started turning. And some of the cracks started glowing a deep red. What would they do to him this time?

Lance closed his eyes, not wanting to see what will happen. 

Lance was expecting lightning to come out and shock him, or a gas that would make him fall asleep, or the machine would cause Lance pain. But instead, nothing happened.

Lance dared himself to open his eyes a little. The machine had turned off. Everything was silent. Then the door to the room burst opened. The Altean scientist came in and went straight to the machine.

After what felt like hours, the scientist checked the room one more time then went back out. Again, the machine turned on. But this time it glowed blue and the lights in the room started to flicker.

Out of no where, Lance was eletrocuted. It reminded him when people were dieing and docters would use an AED on their patient.

After the third time of being eletrocuted, something and Lance clicked. Ice started to freeze over the table. The bands that strapped him down froze and broke like glass. Frost started to spread on the floor and walls. 

Lance sat up. The ice kept on spreading. Lance looked down at his hands, they were normal. And he wasn't cold. Lance knew that he had created the ice. But how? Was it the experiment?

The door burst opened and six guards marched in. Each one of them held a gun. One of them shouted something but Lance ignored them.

Maybe I could use my new powers get out of here. Lance wondered.

Lance raised his hand and imagined ice to shoot out of it. Suddenly, ice shot out of his hand and froze the guard. 

Lance smiled. Maybe he did have a chance of escape. Lance raised his hands and ice shot out of them freezing his apponents.

Lance ran out of the room. He had to find his team. But where are they?

Lance turned a corner trying to remember where they were held. Lance suddenly heard footsteps running after him. He had to hurry.

Red suddenly reached out to him. Red was giving him the cordinants of his team. Lance turned a hard left and followed Red's directions until he was standing infront of a cell door. 

Lance pressed his hand against the door and imagined ice forming around it. After the ice completly covered the door it shattered.

Lance peered into the cell. But no one was there. It was empty. Lance was suddenly hit behind on the head. And everything went black.
