I woke up with a sharp pain in my chest and a yell. I looked down to see what appeared to be my own heart beating and my sternum trying to regrow but that could be a few hours at the rate it was going. "Wow talk about lethal force," I thought back on the four guys who fell just so they could get me here, "well when you put that way." It was then when I looked around my surroundings that I saw that I saw in a cell.
Suddenly I was back in the labs, watching as they sliced open my chest, sawed my ribs and tore out my liver, kidneys, and right lung. My head retracted from the pain as one of the doctors came up to me looking through his surgical mask. "Hey blame yourself freak, if I were you I would be glad that take only this much out of you." I stared at him with anger but soon my vision went black from blood-loss and pain.
As the flashback receded my screaming didn't, I ran up to the closed and pounded against it. "Please someone let me out of here, please I am begging you just open the door!"

Liliana woke up slowly to hear screaming coming from down the corridor. She waited till the guards had passed her cell door and she then opened it. The cell doors were all different, she wasn't sure how but they were. For hers she had to swipe the dogtags that she had around her neck. The seventeen and a half year old tip toed down the hallway to the door that held the screaming person behind it. "Please someone let me out of here, please I am begging you just open the door!" The scream came and Lily tied her long black hair into a ponytail. She took a deep breath and slammed her fist into the door once, trying to get the other person's attention. "Hey...HEY!" She yelled through the door and banged her fist on the door again. "I'm gonna help you but you've got to be quiet." She added before glancing from side to side down the hallway. "Do you have a chain with dogtags around your neck? If you do look for a key-pad panel grab the larger of the two dog tags and um...you know how people put their credit cards in the efpost machines? Do that." She said at first before thinking of something else. "If you have no dog tags look around your room and tell me what you see." She said after thinking of the possibility of this mutant having no dog tags. |

I heard what the girl had said to me and looked around my neck sure enough there was a pair of dog-tags hanging there. The larger one said "Rag-doll" on it, and when I slid it through a device next to the wall the door opened. I jumped through it as though it was going to close at any moment on my and trap me back inside. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said to the girl who had gotten me out of that cell, "you have no idea how bad the experiences cells bring me." I was far to over enjoyed to be out and I was probably still a little screwed from the gaping hole in my chest be cause the next thing I know I am kissing my freer rather passionately on the mouth.

She jumped a little as the door infront of her slid open and a man rushed through it. It looked like he was scared of being trapped in the cell again.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He said to Liliana and she nodded gently, noticing the gaping hole in his chest. "You have no idea how bad the experiences cells bring me." She was about to nod again but he was kissing her. She gave a squeak of surprise and froze up. Her dark green eyes were wide open and the seventeen and a half year old's eyebrows shot up towards her hairline.
She squeaked again, a little more urgently this time oce she'd realised that she needed to breathe. She poked him sharply beside the ribs on his right side.
"Wret go..." She said in a muffled voice and then she grabbed his shoulders and pushed him away gently.
"You're happy...I get it, but right now we need to get you to the infirmary. Oh this is bad..." She whispered hurriedly before noticing a black armoured guard coming down the hallway. She quickly grabbed the older mutant's hand and ran away from the guard, earning shouts of alarm.
"He's been freed! I repeat, Mutant Icicle has freed Rag-Doll!" The guard yelled and she panicked slightly. She grabbed her dog-tags and reached her room, sliding her name tag through the panel. The door opened and she looked back at the man.
"Sorry about this sir, but my cell is a bit more normal looking. Quick! Inside before they shoot us!" She hissed before pulling him inside and locking them in.
She had pictures of her family all around near her bed. A couple of them had black frames, others had red or blue. She turned on the lights and tapped a few keys just as the guard tried to slide his access card through her door panel. She tapped a few more keys and the panel beeped.
'Access code accepted, Icicle's cell is now in complete lock down. Only Icicle can undo these functions. Have a nice day.'
"It's alright, you can look at some of the pictures if you like." She said softly before opening the door a fraction.
"Could you give me some privacy? I just came back from the infirmary with a killer headache. I'll make it up to you..." She said in a quiet voice to the guard and he shook his head. He showed him the discoloured buising on her temple from her trip to Freakopolis then he nodded reluctantly.
"Whatever, as long as he's back in his cell by dinner." The guard sighed and she nodded.

Gerg looked around the room briefly, he noticed the pictures but had no idea what they were or why they were important. As he looked around the room he saw that it had a few touches of freedom with is what made it a "room" in his head. Gerg decided to make sure his chest was still healing and sure enough the bones were back which meant that skin would be back within a hour or so. Gerg heard the altercation between what sounded to be a guard and the person who had freed him, when the guard had left he looked at the girl who had saved him from mostly his own memories. "How do you plan to make it up to guard?" He asked with a child's curiosity, "and what exactly do you need to make up for?"

Lily saw him looking at the pictures and nodded to them nonchalantly.
"The ones with black frames are the people who are dead, blue are brothers, red is my mum." She explained fleetingly and then smiled gently. He had heard the conversation between herself and the guard...this was going to be a fun thing to explain.
"How do you plan to make it up to guard?" He asked in a curious voice and then continued to ask something else. "And what exactly do you need to make up for?"
"I'm going to make it up to the guard by not causing trouble. I need to make it up to him because if anyone else finds out that he's letting me hide you...he dies." She said in a casual manner and smiled slightly.
"So, you're mutant name is Rag-Doll right? Nice to free you...I'm Liliana Ripley." She said, sitting down beside the picture frames. Her fingers brushed over one black framed picture in particular. It was of a little girl, she looked to be only four or five years old. This girl, was Julie.

Out of all of what she had just said about the pictures the only part Gerg understood was dead. He looked at the picture of the girl in the frame, black=dead so whoever she was, she was dead. "Nice to be freed Liliana my name is Gerg." Gerg smiled a little at the girl who had just gotten him out of a memory nightmare, and helped him escape the guards, and he had... "Oh, oh wow" Gerg muttered "sorry about the whole kissing thing I got a little over excited there."

She laughed softly as she noticed him spacing out again.
"Nice to be freed Liliana my name is Gerg." He said and she nodded.
"No worries, you sounded like you needed a breath of fresh air." She joked and shrugged one shoulder absentmindedly.
"Oh, oh wow." He muttered and she turned to look at him expectantly. "Sorry about the whole kissing thing I got a little over excited there." He added and she nodded, struggling not to smile in amusement.
"It's okay, really...you were excited and probably did it without realising it. So, why do you have a hole in your chest?" She said in a slightly amused tone until she gestured to the part of his chest that had the bones regrowing over the hole.

Gerg let out a sigh of relief when Liliana gave him a free pass for his moment of stupidity. "I am glad to here that I would hate to upset the person who freed me." "So, why do you have a hole in your chest?" Gerg looked down at his chest chuckling which made the whole thing seem a little weirder than it already was. "As I recall it was a shotgun at point blank range. Which reminds me, Do I have any bullets still sticking out of me?"

Gerg let out a sigh and then she smiled as he began to talk again.
"I am glad to here that I would hate to upset the person who freed me." He said and she laughed gently.
"As I said, it wasn't a problem." She stated before listening to him again.
"As I recall it was a shotgun at point blank range. Which reminds me, Do I have any bullets still sticking out of me?" He asked and she walked around him in a circle, looking for bullets or bruising. She stepped back from him and shook her head.
"Not that I can see Gerg." She said before looking again, just to be sure.
"None that I can see." She confirmed before smiling at him.

"None that I can see." Liliana said with a smile, Gerg smiled a bit too. "Glad to hear that, it would be a pain to have to pull one out." Gerg jumped onto the bed and took a closer look at the pictures "huh, if you don't mind me saying these people look like you."

"Glad to hear that, it would be a pain to have to pull one out." Gerg said and Lily nodded. Gerg jumped up onto her bed and looked at the pictures.
"Hmm, it would hurt wouldn't it?" She stated in a thoughtful voice.
"Huh, if you don't mind me saying these people look like you." He said and she nodded again.
"Yes, these people are my family. The woman in the red frame is my mother. The two young men in the blue frames are my brothers. The man in the black frame was my father, the girl in the black frame was my half-sister." She said and pointed to each one.

"Hmm, it would hurt wouldn't it?" "Not as much as you might think, I still fell pain I'm just used to having my organs torn out without anesthetic." Gerg wondered just how many times he had watched the very things that were supposed to keep him living forcibly removed just to regrow again. To whatever sick, twisted, person made me, I hate you!
"Yes, these people are my family. The woman in the red frame is my mother. The two young men in the blue frames are my brothers. The man in the black frame was my father, the girl in the black frame was my half-sister." Gerg looked at Liliana with complete bewilderment, he had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. His first memories were in a cell and those were nothing but pain and suffering. "Ok could you please say that again except in a way that I might understand."

She had explained it to him, but Gerg hadn't seemed to have understood.
"Ok could you please say that again except in a way that I might understand." He said and she nodded. She laid the pictures flat on the floor, so he would have a birds-eye view of them. She arranged them like a family tree.
"This is my dad, he had children. One of which is me, this boy is the son of him and another woman. He is my half-brother. The same with the little girl here. This is my mum, she had children too. She had me and this boy here. This boy is my older brother. You get it?" She explained slowly, pointing to each picture as she said thing about them.

She had me and this boy here. This boy is my older brother. You get it?" Liliana explained it all very slowly so that Gerg could understand. "I think I understand but I'm never quite sure since all I remember is in a cell, kind like the one I was in." But at least back there I had Aylia. Gerg thought back to when he was still at the organization, Aylia had the first person he knew and the first person he loved. Tears began to roll down Gerg's face along with all too familiar pain, Gerg looked at the leg that had been shot when he was taken to Freakopolis and broke it at the knee. The pain shot through his body as crumpled to the floor but the sadness went away, Gerg put the knee back into place and already felt the bones fuse together.
