Distractions

Oddly enough, none of the other people around the place seemed all that concerned that I’d escaped my bonds. I stared in disbelief. Assholes in white lab coats were doing things with the other cloned versions of me that I could’ve gone my whole life without seeing.

They didn’t seem to care that the clones they were digging those scalpels into were living beings screaming at the top of their lungs in agonizing pain. Screaming so loudly that it echoed in my head and filled me with a white-hot rage.

That rage bothered me just a little. I wasn't used to it. No, I’d always been a live and let live kind of girl.

Even when I was working. Which was saying something considering some of the bullshit I'd had to put up with since starting the whole hero thing. Only now I was furious, and that was new. It was like there was a completely different person inside my mind. Though I figured if ever there was a situation that called for a little bit of rage, it was this one. I stared at all these assholes vivisecting various versions of me now that I was up and could look at more than my immediate surroundings.

Sure they were cloned versions of me, but still. They didn't deserve that. No one deserved that, and I was going to rescue them, damn it.

Only before I could do any of that rescuing, or even catch up to the prick who’d been running from me, a bunch of jackbooted military types wearing body armor of the variety you usually only saw in a war zone, we’re not talking civilian SWAT stuff here, appeared in front of me holding up guns with laser sights.

I rolled my eyes. "Can you get any more clichéd?"

They hesitated. They looked at one another, then back to me. Then the asshole who was clearly in charge lifted his fist up in something that looked like it’d been lifted straight out of the movies.

"Fire!"

I didn’t even bother to duck out of the way. For one it was sort of impossible to duck out of the way in close quarters like this. There were beds with clones of me in various states of unconsciousness or death to either side, and knocking one of them over might be enough to push them over that edge into death. For another I didn’t think they could hurt me with whatever they were shooting.

They were firing darts. Darts with glowing pink liquid in them that had glowing pink tips that were no doubt custom designed to prick Fialux flesh.

I floated there, naked as the day I was born, and looked down at where those darts had impacted. Huh. So this was how they were dealing with copies of me. I snatched one of the darts out of the air as it dropped and gave it a closer inspection.

Sure enough it was filled with some sort of bright pink liquid. It pulsed with the same light as everything else around here they were using to control me.
