Cal couldn't believe that he had been the first one to be done with his experiment. Out of all the others, he'd thought that his had lasted the longest.
As the others arrived, slowly but surely, Cal made sure to examine them. He was sure that they'd all probably have to get used to each other. The next person who arrived after him was a boy, younger than him. (@Tenma Tendo) He looked pale and tired, like him. The boy gave him a nod, and Cal returned the gesture as the boy sat across the room.
The next to arrive was one he hadn't noticed before. Another male, probably about his age, who sat in the corner of the room to himself. (@Lord of Evil)
After him was a girl. She hung in the doorway for a moment before sitting down next to the younger male and asking if he was 'okay'. Cal scoffed. Of course the boy wasn't 'okay'. None of them would be 'okay' after what had happened to them. (@EchoicChamber)
He heard the clicking before he saw the girl...spider...spidergirl? She had an abdomen with six more legs than a human was supposed to have, and six more eyes on her face than a human was supposed to have. A shiver ran over Cal. Not because he was afraid of spiders (he wasn't), but because he hadn't thought that a physical change was something that could have occurred to him. He watched as she struggled to sit in a chair, before muttering a curse and finally sitting on the floor. (@Tojin)
The next boy to walk in had a pale face, more so than the first boy, which looked a little terrifying to Calixto. He sat down, throwing out a joke about how the spidergirl must've had a fear of 'lawsuits'. Cal smiled, only a little. How could someone find light in this twisted reality? (@EchoicChamber)
The last subject to arrive terrified Cal. She didn't walk in but rather was brought in by one of the men who had probably overseen her experiment. She wasn't moving, was just limp. Was she...dead? Another shiver ran over Cal. (@Tenma Tendo)
Finally, the one overseeing all of this walked in with another girl. She looked wet, and Cal wondered what had happened to her. Was she to be his opposite? Maybe she could help him. He overheard the doctor lady talking to the youngest boy about the girl, who was apparently his sister and was still alive. Finally, she began to speak to all of them. (@Ktyhrea@Majoras End)
"Greetings everyone, My name is Dr. Ja-" She didn't get a chance to speak before another male was thrown into the wall beside him. On 'fight or flight reflexes' from his experiment, Cal gave a yell, jumped up, and put his hands up with palms facing the ceiling. Small flames erupted from his palms, which caused him to yell in shock again. He patted his hands quickly against his sides, and the flames went out.
"What the fuck," he stated, looking down at both his hands and the boy who had hit the wall. He talked about something being 'worth it', and another female walked in. He didn't pay attention to the next few words as he calmed down again, and sat back down on the floor. He stared at his hands. What the hell had just happened?
"Are you alright...?" the female who had walked in asked Cal after she had just sat down next to him. Cal scoffed.
"Considering I just went through a hell of a lot of pain and now have the ability to conjure flames, something that has haunted me from a young age, I'm gonna go ahead and say that I'm not alright," he shot out. He wasn't really rude to the girl, he was just expressing what he had been feeling.
"Greeting everyone, my name is Dr. Jane Williams. That's My nephew, James. And that's my daughter, Miriam. Nice to meet you all."
Shit. He should probably be nice to the girl, considering her mother was in charge.
"Sorry," he muttered under his breath. He looked up at Dr. Williams. "So, what now?" he posed the question. He was sure most, if not all, of them were wondering it.
