1 Awakening

Its been 3 days since ive awoken in this cell. I dont know how i got here or where here is. I just know one thing. These freaks in suits kept coming after me talking about some X-gene. So im aware im in some sort of Marvel universe. Fuck you Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for creating such a dangerous world.

"Yo Damien wake yo ass up, it's almost your turn." A ball comes flying in my cell and hitting me in the face.

"Goddammit Domino how do you keep hitting me in the face every time?" Thats right im talking to the dark skinned beauty Domino.

"I guess im just lucky" she snorts. Yea right after i awoke i pointed out that she cant be that lucky if she's here. She just replied who knows maybe shes bound to run into someone worth all the bad luck. "Laura is almost back so be ready you know they love you two the most."

I looked at the empty cell across from me that usually houses the forever cranky Laura Kinney. She and i have started real weird relationship due to being the ones that recieved the most of the abuse.

"Oh lover boy is awake? I expected a few more minutes of peace." teased the girl down the cell block that ive learned to be Amara Aquilla.

I was about to rebuttle when the doors buzzed and were slammed open. They dragged in an unconscious Laura and threw her in her cell before pointing there weapons at me. "Easy guys, i know the procedures." I raise my hands and get on my knees as the soldiers run in the cell and put their guns trained on my face. One of them cuffs me before dragging me out the cell. I go past Laura's cell passing Amara and Domino looking at me with worried gazes, further down i pass Warren sitting in the corner wingless and bandaged and Ellie Phimister throwing a rubber ball on the wall.

Im led outside the cages to be dragged into the standard research room. Im met by a team of doctors but only two peak my curiosity. One of which is Stryker, this man is well connected and very well established in America and the other is the mad scientist

"Nathaniel Essex. Its a pleasure to meet you again Doc."

"Ahh young Nyxxus, a pleasure as always. Tell me Damien, how is it you're X genes are the most powerful we've seen yet you have no abilities. No enhanced strength, no wings, no firepower, no super...luck. Youre all the more interesting you anomaly."

He snaps his fingers as his goons go to work on beating the shit out of me and proceeding to strap me to a table. Essex walks over with a pair of goggles on his eyes. He slowly takes out a remote and starts his monologue.

"Ive seen hundreds of thousands of genetic variants but yours truly fascinates me. Nuclear, Solar, Electrical any and all forms of energy completely useless for altering your dna. As if its saying its already superior yet youre so weak." His guard punches me in the stomach as Essex backs away and leaves the room with Stryker.

After the quick punching bag demonstration the guard too leaves the room and a red light and buzzing sound echoes through.

*WARNING RADIATION LEVELS HIGH, WARNING RADIATION LEVELS HIGH*

Damn these fuckers are trying to radiate me. I start struggling on the straps trying to break out. I feel my skin starting burning as the radiation seeps into the room. I start screaming as every cell in my body starts getting excited over the radiation.

My body jerks and seizures uncontrollably jerking around the table im strapped too. I can hear the buzzers going on in the back ground but its useless to my current predicament. I thrash around as my muscles tighten and my skin starts cooling down.

The lights are still blaring but i tune it out as i flex my arm and this time my arm comes right through the strap holding me and its free. The scientists behind the glass panic and start to evacuate the site except for Essex who floods the room with even more of the radiation.

My eyes widen and redden at the sudden increase of pain as i collapse on the ground convulsing. I feel my body numb as i start getting flashes.

A race of beings capable of moving through space freely. With technology far beyond anything ive ever experienced. Stronger and sturdier than anyone ive seen. Capable of surviving in a vacuum by holding their breath. Then i black out.

The next time i come through im facing the ceiling of my familiar cell. I try to get up and i hear a rattling sound stopping me from moving. I strain my head to see chains strapped around my body from neck to ankles.

I struggle for a second before hearing a familiar voice "Its adamantium, congratulations you were exciting to them before now youre irresistible." I calm down hearing Laura's words. Adamantium chains? Damn it all, how do i get out of this?

"How long was i out?" i ask. I know a radiation blackout isnt something i can hope to just sleep off in a day. Laura confirms my suspicions by saying i was out for 6 days. The doctors have tried waking me up, taking my blood, and trying to radiate me again but it all failed. So they threw me back in my cell without any chance of movement to escape.

"Oh sleeing beauty youre awake?" teased Domino.

"Damien's up? Yo sleepy head rise and shine!" yelled Amara from down the way while Warren just stayed silent in a further cell.

"Hey Nyxxus, we got two new prisoners. Blonde girl over there just came in and shadow dude is about half dead by now." I tried to listen to Domino but i couldnt as my new senses were overloading me. I could hear the scientists and Essex upstairs speaking about moving me and Laura to a more secure facility and just taking the others samples and disposing the original.

I start to freak out as Laura gets up from her posture. Im thinking she heard them as well. She tries slashing her bars again but the adamantium cell shocks her to the point she almost passes out.

"Oye what happened? Laura usually never attempts to attack the bars." - asks Domino in concern.

I ignore her and start straining my muscles to break the chains. I keep on straining as the chains dig into my skin. I bite my lip to hold in the pain when it happened. SNAP.

The chains fall from my body as i stand up from the bed i was chained to. My body has changed a bit since the radiation. Whereas before i was small and scrawny, not my body stood at an astonishing 6'6 packed with muscles i didnt even know existed.

Laura looks at me in amazement as l walk over to the bars and bend them out of place. I stand there in the hall watching everyones shocked gazes. I go over to Laura's cell and rip the bars off.

They fall to the ground with a clank and Laura steps out before flashing her claws and giving a very evil grin.

"Well its about damn time." muttered Domino.
