*KNOCK * X3
"Wake up Maximoff #3."
Azrael Maximoff View
I opened my eyes after the knocking of the guard invaded my ears. I looked towards the metal door and saw the guard through the bars.
I stood up off the bed and stretched. Only now did I acknowledge the clothes I was resurrected with. I was dawned in a black T-Shirt and black shorts. Next to the bed were black socks and combat boots.
'When did those get there? I did sense something in my sleep last night, but it wasn't significant so I continued sleeping…'
I put that in the back of my head for now and put on the items. The guard then opened the door as I walked out.
"Follow me to the experiment room." I nodded and followed the guard aimlessly. I wasn't fully familiar with the experiment room, since I was only ever there one time and that was yesterday.
'Well from now on, I'm sure I'll get more situated with the room.'
After a few minutes of walking, we entered the room that I was in just yesterday, I did notice the lack of the metal table, it seems it was only there for that singular occasion.
The guard exited the room, leaving me in it. I thoroughly examined the room for the first time. I couldn't before because of my interactions with Wanda and Pietro.
Now that im actually acknowledging what's in the room, it didn't look like the typical experiment room of an evil man in an organization that was originally constructed around a racist.
In the room were capsules, small machines, and cameras in every corner. I assumed there was another room for training and what not. I learned from Wanda that that room is usually used after experiments are conducted.
I also learned that there aren't actually that many people here. It's only us three, two girls, and one guy. Six in total.
The only times we are allowed to communicate with eachother is during lunch period, since Strucker believes that socializing will keep us from going insane. Only one of the girls and that one guy were willing to make acquaintances with Wanda and Pietro.
There was one girl who sat alone by herself. Wanda said that she always tries to escape any chance she gets, she is usually isolated during experiments and Strucker has occasionally removed her from eating lunch with everyone else.
Wanda nor Pietro had enough time to give me any names, but I'll get to meet them after the experiments.
Strucker finally arrived in the secluded experiment room area with his trusty scepter in hand.
"Alright Mr. Maximoff, since there are three of you, we will address you three by your ages. Pietro is the oldest so he is Maximoff #1, Wanda is #2, and you are #3, got it?" I nodded.
I couldn't really care less what they called me, I'm just ready to get these experiments over so I can socialize with other human beings. I'd rather not talk to the monster in front of me.
"Step into the capsule." I wasted no time and entered the one he pointed at. These capsules were different from the one he used to identify the abilities that were unlocked upon my resurrection. These ones were specifically built to see the natural reactions of our bodies and powers when exposed to a certain amount of energy being projected from the Mind Stone.
After this, he takes you to the training room to test your capabilities after experimentation. I expect in the near future for him to start grouping Wanda, Pietro, and I for combined results of his research. He'll probably also deploy the three of us on missions due to the high-levels of chemistry between us.
Wanda and Pietro have already been on a few missions but they're far from hard, only assassination and stealing stuff. The harder stuff comes down the line, but I've already decided that they won't spend more than a year here.
I'm going to implement doubts in their heads whenever Strucker does something questionable, they'll deny me at first because they're still on a high from him giving them superpowers, but once they start to believe it themselves, they'll start to realize the evils of Strucker's work and that's when I'll initiate my plans.
'Of course, this is hypothetical, there is no way for me to assure in anyway that this works.'
Strucker points the scepter a couple inches away from my chest as the stone began to brightly glow. I felt a warmth in my core as more of the light washed through my body.
It was almost as if I was getting stronger by just a little every second when exposed to this energy.
'This is addicting, I can see why Thanos wants all six of them, this power is almost unbelievable.' Although I am a bit power hungry, I will wait my turn for all my universally gifted buffs as a protagonist.
Just kidding, anyway, the light was stopped after 30 minutes. I got out and sat down in a chair where he proceeded to give me all sorts of blood tests and different shots that I didn't even know what were in them.
"What's in these shots?"
"That doesn't matter. They'll help you get stronger." I had no idea what that meant. I doubt he'd be giving me steroids, because out of all of the technology that he has within his reach to give people supernatural means of strength, steroids should be near the bottom of the list.
He then took me to the training room where there were dummies, targets, and various objects on a table. These objects varied from thick sticks, concrete slabs, metal poles, and minerals.
"Everyone's training room are specific to what their abilities are. Your ability is to create blue flames, these objects are to test the extent of your flames, try to burn every object as fast as you can. After that, test the accuracy of your fire on the targets and then work on some hand-to-hand combat on the dummies. You have one hour before lunch."
With that, Strucker exited the room and left me to my devices.
