Chapter II
A man with brown hair stood in front of a large glass bubble and looked up to see a girl curled up. She had long brown hair and had reddish tips at the end, a sign of aging from when she had the red streaks at the top of her scalp. The entire lab room was dark and only seemed to glow green due to the liquid that kept the girl alive. The male scientist sighed and rubbed his head and walked toward one of the woman scientists.
"So- Renee... Want to go out for coffee sometime?" The man rubbed the back of his head smiling nervously.
"I'd much rather stay here and study N.001." Renee looked up at the male brushing her orange red hair out of her eyes. "Just in case something was-" she was cut short.
"Don't worry Ren, the probability of that happening again is very slim." The man reassured her. The blond then glanced over at the wall on the far other side of the room, claw marks and dents in the wall was a sign of N.001's struggle. The man blinked and chuckled nervously and shrugged putting his hands up in defense. Renee gave him a dirty glare then spun back around toward her computer.
"Dr. Burgundy! She's awake." A short man jutted up from his chair astounded. Everyone soon turned around to look at the large glass bubble. The girl stirred slightly, she lifted her head very slowly and opened her eyes, everything was a blur to her rarely opened eyes. The mixture in the fluids was like a sedative keeping her calm for now. Her mouth was still snapped shut as she glanced around the room.
"I hate this job..." A boy in his late teens mumbled mopping up the floors then heard the commotion. His name tag read Rikki on it. His hair was gelled slightly and the color was almost jet black, the length was rather short, probably because he had to cut it for his job. He pushed his bucket across the floor where the laboratory door was and he mopped up the doorway. The boy looked up at the giant glass bubble and held his jaw open. "What is that?" He whispered under his breath.
The brunette girl in the liquid looked up at the doorway and spotted the janitor. Her eyes widened, their deep brownish wine color locked onto the boy's hazel eyes. Rikki's eyes locked onto the girl's and he gasped slightly at her beauty. The girl opened her mouth slowly as to smile but all that came out were bubbles. The brown haired scientist walked up to the glass about to place his hand on the surface. He tilted his head slightly and followed the experiment's gaze to the janitor.
"Hey! Get outta here!" He shouted and motioned the guards to shoo him out. The boy yipped and pushed his bucket down the hall and chased after it to get out of sight.
N.001 frowned and glanced at the scientist, her lips then parted above her teeth and she snarled, bubbles floating to the top. The girl pulled at the wires that held her from sinking to the bottom or floating to the top. Red lights flashed through the entire building and sirens went off.
"Shut everything down and focus on keeping her in there!" Dr. Burgundy shouted and started to point to others. "Guards get in here! Close the perimeter around the containment center!" He was interrupted by a large cracking noise, like someone had stepped on thin ice. The glass sphere was cracking and the liquid started to pour out of the crack.
Rikki sighed brushing his hair back ontop of his head. He heard the commotion then jumped hearing the sirens. "That's not good..." He turned around to see the room where he ran from and saw the hallway started to flood. The boy dropped his stuff and ran towards the laboratory. The liquid reached past his ankles. Suddenly the sphere shattered and glass shot into some of the guards straight into their chests, they fell backwards into the water. The girl fell gracefully from the sphere and landed on one of the dead guards, her eyes fierce. Backup guards came in and started to shoot at her, one struck her on the shoulder and she snarled. One then shot a net at her and it draped over her trapping her to the floor. She looked up at Rikki and lost all her fierceness and cried in pain. Two guards pushed him out of the lab and she screeched louder. The boy felt pain in his heart and tried to get past the guards. "Let go of me you're hurting her!" Rikki shouted but the guards won and shut him out. He slammed his fists against the metal door and his feet fell underneath him and he slid to the floor slowly, eventually he sat on the floor and waited.
