2: The Experiments

As Allen was escorted to the lab, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The military men who were with him did not speak a single word to him throughout the journey, and the silence was suffocating. As they reached their destination, Allen could see the building that loomed in front of him, with its concrete walls and high security measures. The military men led Allen through the entrance, which was guarded by several heavily armed soldiers.

Once inside the lab, Allen was taken to a big white room, which had no windows and was sparsely furnished. The only items in the room were a bed, a table and a chair. The military men instructed him to sit on the chair and wait for further instructions. As they left the room, Allen could hear the sound of heavy metal doors being locked behind him.

Allen sat in the chair for what seemed like an eternity, unsure of what was happening and what was expected of him. He tried to calm himself down and rationalize the situation, but the fear and uncertainty continued to gnaw at him. Suddenly, the door opened, and the scientist walked in. He was tall, with long green hair and piercing yellow eyes. Allen recognized him it was Evan.

He was the lead researcher at the lab, he came in with a small smile on his face. "Ah, Allen, are you glad to see me again, don't worry I'll be taking care of you from now on."

Allen felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at the scientist's cold, calculating gaze.

"What's going on? Why am I here?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

Evan's smile widened slightly. "You're here to help us. You have a very special gift, Allen. You're the only one who can save the world from the monsters."

"What gift?" Alan asked, feeling increasingly confused.

Evan gestured towards a nearby screen that showed a graph of energy fluctuations. "Your gift is your incredible power, You emit energy that is unlike anything we've ever seen before, With your power, I will make you a weapon that can defeat the monsters once and for all."

Allen felt a sense of dread wash over him. "But...I don't want to be a weapon. I just want to go home."

Evan's smile disappeared. "I'm sorry, Allen, but you don't have a choice. The world is at stake, and we need your help. You can either cooperate with us willingly, or we can make you cooperate. It's up to you."

Allen felt his stomach twist into knots. He had no idea what was happening or what to do. "I...I'll help, I guess. But what do I have to do?"

Evan's eyes lit up with excitement. "Wonderful! We'll start with some basic tests to measure your power levels. Then, we'll move on to more intensive training and experiments. You'll be working with me personally, and I promise to take good care of you."

Allen nodded weakly, feeling more and more like he was in a nightmare. He couldn't believe this was happening to him, and he had no idea how he was going to get out of it. But for now, he had no choice but to cooperate.

And so began Allen's long and painful journey as a lab rat. He was subjected to tests, injections, and experiments day in and day out, all aimed at understanding the extent of his powers. He was subjected to intense physical and mental training, which left him exhausted and drained. Despite the grueling nature of the experiments, Allen was determined to learn more about his powers and control them. Evan was always there, pushing him harder and harder, never showing any compassion or empathy.

Allen felt like he was losing himself. He was no longer the carefree kid he used to be. He was a being treated as a weapon, a tool to be used by the military to fight their battles. And worst of all, he had been deceived into thinking he was helping to save the world.

But little did he know, there were darker forces at play, and his fate was far from certain. For the first few months, nothing seemed to be working. The military was growing impatient, and the Sargent Major overseeing the project was putting pressure on Evan. "Evan, I need results," the Sargent major said. "I don't care if you break him. We need to know what he's capable of." Evan was taken aback by the Sargent major's words. He didn't want to hurt the boy even more, but he knew he had no choice. The military was using his family as leverage, and if he didn't comply, they would suffer the consequences.

"I understand," Evan said reluctantly. "I'll intensify the experiments."Evan was taken aback by the order. He knew that pushing Allen any further could have severe consequences.

He approached Allen, who was strapped to the table, looking exhausted and defeated. "I'm sorry, Allen," Evan said softly, "We have to keep going."

Allen glared at him, his eyes filled with anger and frustration. "Why are you doing this to me?" he spat.

Evan hesitated for a moment before responding, "We need to find a way to fight these monsters, and your powers could be the key. We just need to figure out how to control them."

Allen shook his head in disbelief, "You're hurting me for your own gain," he said.

Evan's expression softened, "I know it seems that way, but please understand that I have no choice."

Allen closed his eyes, trying to focus on controlling his powers. But no matter how hard he tried, he still could not fully control them

As Evan intensified the experiments, Allen's powers became harder to control. He would sometimes lose control and go berserk, causing chaos in the lab. It was a dangerous situation, and Evan was constantly on edge.

One day, Allen lost control again, and this time he was more powerful than ever. He was destroying everything in his path, and Evan knew he had to stop him before he could hurt anyone.

Evan injected Allen with a sedative, causing him to lose consciousness. He then placed him in a stasis pod, where he would remain for several months.

One day, Evan was analyzing the blood samples he had taken from Allen when he noticed something peculiar. "This is remarkable," he muttered to himself. "There are trace amounts of a unique energy in Allen's blood."

Intrigued, Evan ran more tests on the blood samples and found that the energy was unlike anything he had ever seen before. He became excited at the prospect of harnessing this energy to create new technology and weaponry.

But Evan didn't stop there. He decided to take things further and see if he could extract the energy and transfer it to other individuals. He began experimenting on mice, injecting them with Allen's blood and waiting to see if they would exhibit any changes. To his amazement, the mice began to develop increased agility and strength.

The more Evan studied Allen's blood, the more he realized that it held the key to unlocking a new era of human evolution. He hypothesized that if he could extract the energy and implant it into humans with complete control over their powers, they would become even more powerful and have longer lifespans.

Excited by this discovery, Evan ramped up the experiments on Allen, taking even more blood samples, Evan even began experimenting on Allen's spinal fluid, believing that it was the key to unlocking even more power. He began extracting the fluid and injecting it into other subjects, but the results were inconsistent. Some subjects died, while others exhibited strange mutations.

Evan continued experimenting, determined to find a way to harness the power within Allen's body. He spent countless hours in the lab, analyzing and testing Allen's bodily fluids.

Finally, after years of experimentation, Evan made a breakthrough. He discovered that by isolating specific proteins in Allen's blood, he could create a serum that would not only enhance an individual's powers but also increase their lifespan even giving powers and abilities,

Evan was ecstatic. He realized that he had discovered the key to unlocking humanity's full potential. He immediately reported his findings to the military, who were thrilled with the results.

But as Evan basked in his success, he couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that gnawed at him. He had deceived and used Allen for his own gain, and he knew that he could never make amends for what he had done.
