Lucius didn't really get mad, but now he was pretty mad. The only thing he really believed in was that all humans should receive the rights that they were promised by the United Nations. Now this scientist was denying them human rights. Everyone here was a human, no matter what abilities they had been given or what their appearance was. Everyone deserved them. Lucius went into a rant."How dare you deny us human rights! We are all human, no matter what abilities have been given to us by you. We exist, you do realize that this operation could be shut down by the government for this abuse!" Lucius's tail shot out of the back of his waist, so he had three things pointing as Vlad during his rant, his two hands and the tail. "A lot of us had families before we were taken by you! A lot of us were completely innocent. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time! People do care about us, that's where you are wrong Vlad.""So you do not care if we die, you will just throw out bodies out, claiming it's all for the growth of science! You only need a few to live?! You need all of us to live. If regular people find out about this abuse, they will riot against you and this laboratory!".

Lee tried hard not to laugh as he heard the burst of outrage come from one of his peers, Lucius. Lee was insulted by the Professor's comments but he did not show it. As he followed the Professor he walked up behind Lucus and said, "Well well well, soldier. How can you be surprised by this? Any of this. Well besides from the demonic powers we have been given. Humans have had a long history of making groups and individuals less than human. Take Germany under the control of the Nazis. They brought the poorest nation in the world to being within two steps of conquering the world. And they advanced technology and science by several generation in the process. all they had to do was turn their enemies into something less. Also, what people are going to riot if they found out about us? I know i am a criminal and that is all the outside will care about. It does not matter the reasons behind my crime. What makes you think you are special enough to make them care? We are all freaks now anyways."

Cassandra stayed silent, watching Vlad toy and mess with Roxy. She shifted slightly, silent and thoughtful. As everyone else exploded, Cassandra kept silent. Her eyes darted around the place, clearly looking for a way out that wouldn't be obvious, but also looking for anything that might help them all. Getting a collar off that could explode would be hard, but...given enough time, Cassandra was sure she could figure out a way. She bit her lip, pondering this, until they were told what they were going to do. She followed, and then spoke her first words in a while.

"the human race is a resilient race. They do not like to be controlled, anymore then we do. History has shown how different races and cultures have risen up above abuse and intolerance, such as with the indigenous populations of the whole world-the Indians, the Aboriginal, etc etc etc. The fact is, people have rose out of hardship, and become what they are today. Treat us like scum, and like we are trash to be thrown away, and eventually, we will rise up. And we will thwart him, them, whoever is keeping us here" And then she fell silent as if she hadn't spoken a word, as if she hadn't said a speech that could very well be taken for treason.

She was prepared for any retaliation, power coursing through her as it had since they had experimented on her, ready to use in ways she had no idea how, her body tense, and she glanced about wearily, her gray eyes reflective and alight. She swallowed, but otherwise gave no sign of nervousness and fright.

He took the cat from his hands and put it back into a drawing. "I can draw anything and then take it out of the drawing and make it real." he explained to the boy, who's obivous power was his tail. "Including this cat." he erased the cat and drew a life-sized Lucius. Due to how complicated the human brain was, it was not able to create the complete personality of Lucius, and made a bit of a emotionless neutral-thinking ditto-like version of Lucius when he made it real. All it did was follow him around, but wasn't able to do anything, really. "I can make pretty powerful things, not limited to you, more or less." He got up, retracting the Lucius drawing and then erasing it, then following Vlad and the security guards to the gym. He drew rollar skates and made them real, putting them on his feet and sliding around towards the gym.

Roxy leaned against the wall of the gym waiting for the others to arrive. She hated waiting. But it was better then being with the others. She had never been much of a people person. Unfortunately being a loner was what had gotten her into this situation. If she had had someone to go to when her father had decided to use her like a coin. Unfortunately she had never had anyone she could trust. Now she was stuck underground with a mad scientist and his experiments.

"Follow me children. We will start your training with gym class." Vlad released Roxy's arm. He headed to the gym expecting them to follow.Roxy was alittle surprised when the others stood up for her. Maybe it was more for the injustice of the collar. Either way she was surprise. They were all criminals. Shouldn't they all be cold and self involved. Shook her head it didn't matter. She knew that she could never trust them not completely. Vlad had made it clear that she was the low person on the totem pole. She breathed a sigh of relief when he released her and walked out of the room.

Alastair turned towards vlad, "Alright you have us all her now what do you want us to do." Alastair said putting his hands out, he was curious why Vlad had everyone taken to the gym he knew it was for development of the "Gift." He had given them but he why Alastair wondered.

"Welcome to gym. He we will work on your physical abilities. Now each of you had a skill that you will teach the other students. These skills can be used in future missions. But first we have to establish where you are. Since you have all been locked in a room for the past few weeks or longer you need exercise. Plus you need to get to know each other. So your going to work as a team accomplish a goal. Today we're going to start simple. I want you to shoot hoops. Take turns and help one another."

"What's your gain by all this vlad? You've seen me do all sorts of exercise in my room you know I'm in great physical shape. But what did you mean by mission?" Alastair
Wanted answers he was starting to get upset with the fact that Vlad was keeping secrets he knew they were a experiment and that he had a thesis but mission? were they made like this for the government to be a special covert ops force. Alastair just stared at Vlad and waited for answers.

"You know the answers Alastiar. The government as approved my research and you are all the results. I will prove that my formula will make our soldiers better and string. You are the forest in a special group of special ops soldiers that I will build. But first I have to turn criminals into soldiers." Vlad answered. "The president had several missions that are too risky for ordinary soldiers. Ounces you're all trained you will take these mission."

"You're right I do know the answers they're what I expected but alright also why make us okay basket ball we have more pressing matters to attended to like training them physically before we work on team skills training will also help people bond. But it's your test so do as you wish." Alastair replied.

He walked into the gym and where the baketballs were, picking up one and taking it over to one of the hoops. The only 'physical abilties' he had was that he was fast. He aimed at the hoop and threw the ball, but it bounced off the rim and bounced along the gym floor. He went back for the ball and repeatedly kept trying, getting 2/5 shots so far.

Cassandra snorted in amusement. Locked up without exercise? She had maintained some physical activity locked up. It was easy. Lunges, push ups, planks squats...there were lots of things you could do and she had to fill the nights somehow. She wasn't too sure how she'd show her 'skill'. All she had to do with it was stand and will the lunar energy to form how she wanted it. So she simply stood where she was and watched the others

Lucy followed closely behind the guards, paying no attention to the way they kept a distance from her, obviously still wary of her break out. She was to busy mentally berating herself for her failure. If she had just kept walking, had gone further away, if she just hadn't given into her weakness and hadn't stayed in that stupid abandoned house for the night. But she hadn't. She had stayed in that house, and Vlads men had found her. She had and still was facing the consequences.

Lucy dragged her bare feet, still tired from using her abilities. She, just like everyone else that Vlad had caged up in here was still new to her power, and hadn't exactly gotten full grip of it yet. Lucy looked up, noticing how the soft buzz of noise was getting progressively louder. As they walked closer, she found the origin of the noise. People. Other supposed criminals were all in a room resembling a gym, and most of them were shooting basketballs at the hoops placed around the gym. Lucy quickly looked down, not bothering to look closely at the people. It didn't matter. Whether or not they were innocent, who they were, what their powers were, she didn't care. Following the guards over to Vlad she stood next to him, not bothering to even greet him or the person next to him. She knew what was coming. Vlad would most likely use her to make it crystal clear.
There's no way out of this place.

Roxy rolled her eyes at Vlad's orders. She tilted her head curiously when a new experiment walked into the room. She knew how it was Lucy. Vlad had told her about her. The girl had actually succeeded in escaping. The fact that she had been caught shortly after her attempt didn't make Roxy feel any better about her own failure. She noticed that Lucy didn't have a collar. What was Vlad up to.

Lucius walked into the large gym. It was a nice room, in a kind of comparison to the diner. It was quite simple, there were a few basketballs strewn on the floor and a couple of hoops for shooting, but it seemed quite plain apart from that. Lucius walked over to one of the basketballs, and sized up the distance from him and the hoop, then he shot with his hands. The ball teetered on the edge of the ring for a few seconds, then tumbled into the net. Lucius did an internal celebration, and then shot his tail out of him again. He curled his tail round the basketball, the flicked his tail forward.

It landed on the side of the ring, then slipped into the net. Lucius felt pretty proud of himself, and he walked away from the basketballs looking quite smug.

"there you are my pretty." Vlad smiled when Lucy entered the room. "What you think of the others? Do you see the pretty collar my pet is wearing? I have one like it one order for you in the others. But my pet doesnt bend as easily as the others do. Shall we show them what happens to those that anger me or should we save it for when we are alone?"

Lucy glared at the ground, not answer the question, before glancing around the room in search of the girl Vlad told her of. Lucy guessed it was the girl currently staring at her, since she was the only one in the room wearing the aforementioned collar. Lucy caught the girls eyes for a second, before looking down at the collar. Lucy wondered about what it does, guessing that whatever it did was not likely a good outcome for the wearer. The girl had most likely tried to escape, much like herself, and either failed or was rounded back up and the collar was punishment. Looking back up to the girls face, Lucy gave her a curt nod, hoping it got the message that she understood what had happened to get her in such a predicament.
Turning her attention back to Vlad, she gave him a half hearted glare. "What are we doing here?" She asked in a low murmur.

"We are exercising. Although the hour is almost up. I want them to work together. But they are mostly working around each other." Vlad told her. He caressed her arm as he slid closer to him. "the collar will explode if she tries to escape. My pretty pet is stubborn. She won't take such an easy route. Everyone has a different punishment. I will use whatever works to get them to become soldiers."

Alastair got bored with watching what everyone was doing he went and sat against the wall. For now he was just going to listen.

Flippy was late to the gym since he took so long to get up. When he entered he saw all the other experiments playing basketball. "I had to get out of bed just for basketball..." he said to himself before letting out a long sigh. Flippy ignored Vlad and whoever he was talking to, and picked up a basketball. He did five shots and made four of them feeling mildly bored with this he dropped the ball, and walked over to where Roxy was "So what's with the collar?" he asked.

Lucy flinched away from Vlads touch, tensing as he rubbed her arm. Looking back at the gym, she saw that Vlad was correct. Most of the children weren't even communicating with each other. Lucy sighed, knowing she wasn't one to judge. Another girl with white hair was standing off to the side watching the others, a boy with what appeared to be a tail was tossing balls into the hoop with ease, quite smug looking, while another boy was shooting the basket ball towards the hoop, sometimes actually getting it in and sometimes not.

"Yes, I can see that. You think that I of all people would do any better? These people barely know each other,and they are all criminals. Do you expect them to be best friends?" She retorted. She may not care wether or not Vlad punished her, that didn't mean she couldn't hate him and his program, and she was going to express that. She didn't even believe there was such a thing as best friends, only liars.
