I'll keep your secret if you keep mine ... [AkiBlue/Somewittyname]

Slipping through the rusting factory doors Hawk looked around. No lights were on and his small flashlight gave him enough vision to see everything in front of him. Removing his helmet and fixing the black mask that hid his eyes he started inward into the factory. It had taken hours just to find it and now he had to look for a chemical, for now called Chemical X.2.0. There was a whole room filled with it and Hawk was supposed to just destroy them all to make sure no one ever found the room.
Taking off his black leather the teen shivered, it was pretty cold. His black t-shirt and jeans stuck to his body as he went further into the factory. He slipped between some fallen support beams and sighed seeing he was still nowhere close to the inner part of the factory.
“Wonderful, he gets to go out fighting and I get to look around a crumbling factory. Thanks a lot.” He muttered under his breath. Hawk was much different from the usual Hero’s side kick, he never wore tights, he mostly thought out plans himself, he used weapons and if he wanted to could go out as a hero himself since he could be known with or without his mentor. Only turning sixteen last month through, Hawk knew he couldn’t do much until he did find a stable job and a balance between his normal life and hero life. Between fighting in alley ways and roof tops and getting good grades Hawk wouldn’t be able to find a job anytime soon and not to mention he was still on the rocks with his girlfriend. Soon to be ex.

The white hear lad jumped over the railing and grinned to himself as deep jade green eyes found the secret entrance way. Walking over he tried pushing opening the jarred doors but found something in the way. Grabbing his zip line he wrapped one end to the fallen files cabinet before shooting off the gun to the other side of the room. It was controlled by a remote and just pressing one button the cabinet was pulled away and Hawk was able to open up the door with ease. Walking in he looked around, oh yeah, he did find the place.

“Deeper into the rabbit-hole, find wonderland through the smallest door.” Hawk whispered to himself as he went to the small door that was now in plain view. It was 4’0” high. No doubt this was to go directly into the factory itself without having to make a long walk. The 5’9.5” teen opened the door and ducked as he entered. Lights flashed on and everything started to go, he was looking through the glass and into the factory. Through, it looked more like a training ground. There was more to this than he thought.

Maybe he got the better end of the bargain. Pulling his leather jacket back onto his shoulder he smirked, he wasn't going to be bored today.

"Don't play around, he says. Do your job he says." Z thought, grumbling a little. He was sent of to find a stupid Chemical X.2.0- or Chemical X. Z dusted his charcoal black hair from the dirt in the air vents he had been climbing in. His eyes glowed a bright yellow a he crawled through the dark of the factory. "Where is that stupid room?"

Z was crawling blindly, going off of instinct, and the electric currents coursing through him. This was not how he wanted to spend his Saturday. Being a villain, yeah. But doing the easy tasks, while his 'Boss' did all the fun stuff? The guy had minions as well, yet Z was stuck with the job. Suddenly, there was a loud creaking sound and the air shafts rocked. "Damnit..." He called out as the entire thing collapsed.

In the chaos, Z ended up hovering over the ground, engulfed in an electric forcefield. "That was close." His eyes changed back into their light brown color. "Didn't mean to make such a commotion." Somehow, he managed to be in the right place. Lucky him.

(Bleh, first posts)

Hawk was half way down the stairs when he heard the commotion. Oh great, now look who decides to come. No time for sight seeing I guess. shaking his head Hawk quickly made his way down the steps until he was in a hall. There were doors on each side of the walls and looking on them he knew what the numbers were. Codes. He had been warn this factory used different methods to keep intruders confused, this must be one of them.

"Two test subjects have been detected. Ready for capture." a robotic female voice rang over speakers. For a moment Hawk was thrown off before hearing the voice. What did she mean by two test subjects? Guess he was right to be questioning this factory. Looking forward Hawk seemed back seeing doors open on their own and mechanical arms being the first things to poke out. Grabbing his pistol Hawk aimed, he had armor pricing bullets, so metal shouldn't be a huge problem.

"Fuck! Dumbass had to set something off I bet." he grunted as he started to retreat. Only to have the welcoming sight of more arms coming out. Wasn't it his lucky day?

[AkiBlue]

Z looked around at the destruction he caused, and then around the room. No Chemical X. But he was sure it was the right place....? He groaned and shook his head. "Next room." Quickly, he ran out the door to the room beside it. There was another commotion outside, but he only heard it after a lady spoke out on the intercom.

"Test subjects? Please say they're in the opposite side of the building." Z jogged out the door, not only to see mechanical arms awaiting to capture him, but also someone he utterly despised. Hawk. 'Well. I guess that makes us the test subjects.' Wasn't this his lucky day. Lacking the spandex suit didn't make him slower, in fact his dark jeans were fine. Even his shirt was a simple black color with a lightning bolt on the front. Why the lightning bolt? Because his Boss had thought it was just the best idea ever.

The bullet sounds indicated that Hawk had his weapon, which meant they'd probably be fighting as usual. That was if the robotic arms would stop. Z was nearly grabbed by one, until he electrocuted it and made the arms go limb. Yet every time he zapped one, two more would appear. "Damn it all! It's like a hydra!" How many arms could one factory- a broken down one at that- need?! Z's eyes changed into the bright yellow again as he fought.

[Somewittyname]

Hawk was reloading his gun when he heard the arms behind him. Quickly dropping to the floor onto his back he shook his head as he grabbed his expanding rod, no joke intended, and hit the arms away. Standing up he saw Z and groaned softly, Had to be him. For a moment Hawk watched and noticed the trend that was going on, each time Z electrocuted one that two would pop out, it didn't make sense until Hawk saw a thin white line on the side of the arms. They were collecting Z's energy each time he took one down.

"Damnit." Hawk muttered under his breath as he rolled and dodged the arms. "Hey! Mind stopping that?! You're kinda making them multiply!" Hawk shouted. A arm flew out from under the floor and grabbed his shooting arm. Trying to pull free Hawk felt another grab his neck, then his other arm until his whole body was caught. Struggling he looked back to Z, didn't look like he had heard him.

When the arms collected enough energy there was a soft buzzing sound, it wasn't a good sound for Hawk. There was a sudden jolt of electric from the arms, with a silent scream Hawk felt his body stiffen, then grow limp. Soon he was on the floor looking up weakly. "S-stop it ... already...ah!" there was another jolt that did knock the young man out. The floor lowered Hawk down and arms started to undress and insert a chip.

"Subject:2-4-6-0-1 captured. Second test subject: prepared to be gas. All exits closing, air filters shut off." the voice rang again. Soon a thick blue gas started to fill the hall way Z was in. It was powerful enough to put anyone asleep and once it worked the same thing would happen to the young villain.

[AkiBlue]

Frustration grew in Z, and the more he got frustrated, the more he would electrocute the arms. Hawk's voice made him stop and look at him. "Is it really the time to be playing the blame game!?" Z manage to crush one of the arms with his foot. "Sheesh! I'm not the one doing any if this-" Suddenly Hawk was being grabbed. Well, it saved him the trouble. He turned back to electrocuting the arms, still not working.

The cry of pain made him stop once more to see Hawk being electrocuted. It gave Z a sadistic smile, until an arm knocked him to the ground. "Damnit!" He growled and started to fight again, but Hawk cried out again. This time he was out like a light. "Sucks for him." Z scoffed and returned to his battle. "Whoever you are, controlling these things- I will shut down this entire-"

That robotic voice called out again. "Gas? Shit.." He frowned and looked for an escape. He ran to doors, but they would lock and shut before he could make it. Z's eyes widened a bit, but he held his breath. The boy could only hold his breath for so long. He gasped for air, and fell to his knees. "I...will not..." He was fighting the sleepy feeling that continued to slap him. "I..." Z took another breath and fell to his side. And he was asleep.

"I'm not playing the blame game you ass! But if you don't stop they'll keep coming!" he shouted back. None of this would work of course. The computer was smart enough to know what to do and with everything happening she was only collecting more data to make the courses for the two boys difficult.

The arms undressed and inserted a chip into Z, he was now subject 24602. Addition to his new jumpsuit, Z was also outfitted with two cuffs that would suspended his powers well they were on. EVE, the computer, reviewed the tapes of the boys and found they didn't get along. The boys were put into the same rooms, unmasked and now mostly defenselessness. They were chained to one another by a strong link cable.

Groaning Hawk slowly sat up, he ran his fingers through his white hair and looked around the room. Everything was fuzzy and spinning around. Standing up he felt a wait on his left hand and followed the link to the person beside him. He recognized the hair and face, it was a student from school. But the last person there had been Z ... yeah the puzzle was put together pretty fast. Hawk, or now as Daniel as his real name was, looked at himself in the four mirrored walls. He was wearing a white jump suit, had no shoes or anything on his feet, and his number was set on his suit.

"Great..."

[AkiBlue]

Z gasped as though he had lost all oxygen from his body. Everything was blurry and he felt dizzy, and weak. He groaned as he reached to rub his eyes, but was stoppe when he couldn't pull them apart. He sat up quickly, though he regretted it soon after. Z looked down an noticed his new attire and chains. "The hell?" He managed as he touched his face. His mask was gone. He wasn't Z anymore...just Austin.

After all that, he still didn't realize the person chained to him- that is, until he moved his leg. Z- or Austin's eyes followed the line until he was face to face with a familiar face. Someone from school? But Hawk was the only- oh damn... Secret identities revealed.

"My arm.." He frowned and rubbed it. There was a searing pain in his left arm, but he focused on the guy in front of him. Well, he didn't make much eye contact, but he stayed vigilant.

"How wonderful."

[Somewittyname]

Daniel heard Z and just ignored him as he looked over the glass walls. Touching them he sighed softly to see there was no shown door. His eyes stood on the walls as he looked for any sign of an exit. Looking back to Austin he sighed walking over and checked his handcuffs. "Looks like you won't be able to use your powers. Can you stand up?" he asked, he didn't look concern or even any emotion at all. Stepping back to the walls he rubbed his neck with his free hand.

"Good morning subjects 24601 and 24602. Testing will begin after your meal." looking up Daniel didn't see any speakers. Probably just echo from outside. Sitting back down he watched as their food was brought up from the floor on two trays. Grabbing his tray Daniel shrugged, at least it was actually food. Bacon, eggs, toast, and even hash browns.

"Looks like we're stuck."

[AkiBlue]

Austin frowns and yanks at the handcuffs with no results. "Dammit..." He growled and stood, answering Daniel's question. Austin stared at the glass walls, and then at the chain on his leg. He yanked it a little an frowned. "If I don't die here, he is going to kill me." Austin mumbled and then listened to the intercom.

"Tests? That doesn't sound too good." Austin stepped back seeing the trays lift from the ground. "It looks edible." He sat and eyed the food. After a few seconds, he decided to eat. And hoped that it didn't kill him.

"I don't know about you...but I'm going to find a way out." He stayed, but never looked at Daniel. First, he needed to get out of the cuffs...
