After sleeping for what felt like minutes, a shock to Hannah, Keiko, and Leo's bracelets woke them up. She was not sleeping more than 4 hours a night, and not being fed more than a small chunk of moldy bread and some curdled milk since her arrival at the facility, Hannah tried to put on the "I'm fine" face that most teens, sadly, know and use on a daily basis. Keiko, Leo, and Hannah were escorted by the guards, who forcefully held their cuffed hands behind their back. In the darkness, Hannah knew it was the guards because their skin felt human, while Keiko's skin felt like water, and Leo's like warm leather. Hannah 's skin felt like crumbled stone, so they knew who she was by touch.

They were, more accurately, Dragged, into a dimly-lit room, with the same lights you would find in a hospital, showing The mutants' baggy eyes, and scraps of skin and bone that were their bodies, from being malnourished and exhausted. In the large, Army-Aircraft-Landing-Dock-sized room, stood 1000 soldiers, and someone who looked like a general standing a few yards away from the guards holding the mutants.
The Soldiers looked up at the sprinklers in the ceiling, opened their mouths and closed their eyes. An alarm sounded, and a strange purple liquid started dripping rapidly from the sprinklers. Most of the soldiers started screaming in agony, falling to the floor, and dying. Hannah made a floating roof above her and her friends, shielding them from the strange liquid.
The 100 or so soldiers that remained were growing in size, their eyes changing color, pupils dilated, and their teeth sharpened to fangs. They looked horrifying. There was something familiar about the way that their eyes changed colors, and their new powers that it was then that Hannah realized why they were here. They were government experiments. Weapons.
Being trained to win wars with their unfair and unnatural advantage.
She almost fainted, but Keiko and Leo sensed her eyes fade from the
pink/purple to more of a grey color, and caught her.
