The sound of machines whirring stirred me from the drug induced sleep. Before I opened my eyes, I felt a seating pain in my wrists. Through the haziness in my eyes, I see two blades cutting my wrists open, and I silently thank God I can't see everything, because even through the haze it looked really bad.

Then I hear her scream and I force myself to look away from the scene and over to my sister. Her situation was no better. "What are you doing to us?!", I shouted beginning to struggle.

This proved to be a mistake as the pain got ten times worse. A big burly guy who reeked of alcohol pushed me back down. "Calm down kid, you don't want to move too much. The blade almost cut the wrong thing and you don't want that. Here, this'll help", he nodded, holding out a flask to me. As I opened my mouth to start cursing him out, he poured the liquid into my mouth until I coughed.

"The name's David by the way. And trust me, it's nothing personal, I just have a job to do."

"Feraclaw! How many times do we have to tell you to stop talking to the test subjects?", a new voice asked from the darkness. It had a thick German accent.

"Aw c'mon Boss, they're just kids. I think they deserve to know why they're here."

The one called Boss seemed to agree, because a second later, he grunted. "You are here because you're DNA makes you prime subjects for our project."

"And what makes our DNA so special?", my sister asked.

David laughed, he was the only one who seemed to think this was funny. "Think about it, sweetie. You're being cut open like a fruit and you're still alive. And conscious. You don't think that's special?", he asked with a shrug.

He seemed to sense that we were putting it together. "See? Now you're getting it!", he clapped.

"Who are you people?", I whispered.

The Boss stepped forward into the light. He was a large man, with wide shoulders and large muscles. But what truly demanded my attention was his head. It was a bright red color, but the strangest part was that it looked like a skull. "You may call us HYDRA."

The character David belongs to my buddy, Bastard_Of_Fenrir! Be on the lookout for more cameos from my friends!
