you were kidnapped around the age of 12 and brought to this huge sector. it was a giant facility, and the whole ordeal of the place was that there were these scientists and engineers that create Augmented Humans-- pretty much just experiment mechanical implants on humans. with their limited budget, these test subjects were typically kids. sometimes they were brought in civily, other times kidnapped. you were the latter.

Now you're fifteen, and you've had some serious health issues. you were born with a ton of nerve issues, including spina bifida and dyspraxia, but boy oh boy did these scientists think they had the solution for you...

pretty much what they did was connect "artificial nerves"--which were just itty bitty wires-- into your body which connected with your weakened ones, and we're powered by a microscopic chip somewhere in your arm. Though the real issue is how these got the power, and it was from this insanley painful and grueling process...you'd sit and have an infusion with this insanley uncomfortable gasoline type liquid for an hour or two every week. it burned so bad once it was in your body and just made everything on fire... yet you had to do it or your muscles would fail you.

a few days ago, you were told you were gonna be transported to this special wing for "specialized care", which really just meant the main doctors were tired of you and were kicking you out to the babysitters, if you will.

and with that, the guards stepped and and shut and locked the big steel door behind you, and then it was just the three of you in the cold room.

both men shared a glance before one bent down and the other followed until they were sitting down at your level on the opposite wall. one with long hair and hoop earrings and these glasses waved his hand slowly, as if a cautious hello without making any sudden movements. her eyes were the softest you'd ever seen in a long while... the second man looked a bit more gruff, but he was calm nonetheless. his eyes like ice but not in a bad way. like he could ground you with just a glance. the long haired one spoke.

"I'm Joey." he said slowly and cautiously. he pointed to his partner "This is Vince. we're here to take you somewhere safe." he said slowly, to which Vince only nodded and blinked slowly, his hard eyes softening
