Chapter 10
Scott regained his senses in a large white room. He was strapped to a table with bright lights above him. Two young women were standing at a table nearby. One was taller and dressed in scrubs, the other was wearing a military uniform.
“Well, someone is awake…” The one in uniform said, walking over and examining him
“I’m Dr. Darcy Lewis, this is my assistant and wife, Jane.” She continued. Scott recognized the second woman from some files…
Files on the Avengers…
“Hi there, I’m Scott. Please untie me…” Scott said.
“Not until I find out what makes you tick. I’ve been in touch with the folks out in Jefferson. They told you are very special.”
“Oh, you have no idea.” Scott said.
“Before you try anything, I’d like to inform you that we have your two traveling companions in the other room. Unless you want them vivisected, you’ll do what we want.”
“OK… fine…” Scott said begrudgingly.
“So, Mutant or Inhuman.”
“Alien.” Scott said, trying to see what that would get him.
“Really?” Dr Lewis asked, tilting her heard “That is interesting. Inhumans usually go out of their way to prove they’re not aliens.”
“Well, I am, in fact, an alien. Take my contact lenses off.”
She did so, revealing the bright purple hue of his irises.
“Doesn’t go to prove much. Now I just want to take you apart anyway.” Dr. Lewis continued “Darling, get my tools.” Snapping her fingers as she did so.
“Yes, dear.” Jane said quietly.
She walked over towards a wall and came back with a tray. Lewis picked up a battery powered handsaw.
“So, are your organs in the same places?” She asked with a smile “Let’s find out…”
“I wouldn’t recommend that…”
“Is this where you say some cliché about how dangerous you are?”
“Not me… Him.” Scott closed his eyes. Lewis turned and looked behind her and saw nothing.
She turned back to Scott and saw his eyes open with a sadistic looking smile of his own.
“I really don’t have time for your nonsense.” Evolt said, ripping his arms free of the restrains. He grabbed Dr. Lewis by the throat and tossed her across the room.
He undid the straps on his legs and walked towards the young woman. He held out his hand and the saw flew to him. He reached down and grabbed her throat.
“Let’s see how you like it?”
“Please… no… please stop…” She said.
“What was that? I’m not sure I can hear you.” He taunted, holding the spinning blade closer.
“No, please… stop.”
“Did you ever stop? When someone begged for their lives? How many people have you killed? I’ve ended billions of lives, what makes you so special? Why should I let you live?’
“Because I said so…” Scott said, forcing Evolt to drop the saw.
“Seems I’ve been outvoted…” Evolt said. “One of the women I was with is pregnant? It would be in you best interest to tell me they haven’t done anything to the baby yet…”
“No, we haven’t done anything yet.” She gasped through his grip.
“You swear?”
“Yes” she choked out.
He shoved her to the ground and turned towards the door. He held up his hands and the door flew off its hinges. He exited out into the hall and saw the doors to the room across the way. Through the window he could see Daisy and Skye. He forced the door open and launched himself at the soldier standing guard.
“Come on.” He said, undoing the straps. “We need to find what we came for.”
The trio ran down the hallway, Evolt using Scott’s telekinesis to disarm anyone who was in their way. He was actually showing better skill at it than Scott normally did.
Eventully, they reached a large door. Evolt smashed the lock and opened it, before returning control to Scott. On the other side of the door was a small room with a bed and a chair.
Sitting there was a man with a scraggly beard and long hair.
“Greetings…” Scott said to him “Odinson…”
