Alex looked around the class, in every desk their was a young teen. The ages ran around eleven to fifteen, their was twenty three kids in the room. Fifteen of them wore boys, and eight girls, the reason that their wore more boys then girls, wasn't because their was more red room boys then girls. It was because for boys at such and age they tended to cripple the opponent more, and girls tended to kill their opponent and cripple the one they hated.
The competition in the training of the red room installed nothing but a cold hearts, any signed of warm was crushed or killed. Usually by the two friends fighting each other to the death, it was left to the instructor to decided who and how it would go down. The result was that one would die or be cripple, and the other would continue their training in the red room. This wasn't use all the time, it was only implemented when and if they found two kids forming more than a team relationship.
In the end, those that came out of this would be super spies. Man made machines, program and train to complete their mission no matter the cost. Also at the end of the training they where given a serum, that was a down grade version of the super serum from Captain America. And lets not forget the surgery they receive before, the were made sterile, so that they couldn't have children. It was a counter measure so that they form no attachment to anything but the mission.
Luckily, Alex mannage to gather all the kids in the room, and it was all thanks to the girl in the cell. He finaly learn her name after going trought half the group, she didn't tell him, he heard it from another girl who seem to know her. Her name was Raiza, for the girls she seem to be in position of power, either that or it was because she was the oldest among them. Just like in the boys their was only one boy that was fifteen, and he also seem to be in a position of power.
For the past ten minutes Alex didn't speak a word, all he did was reveal the food and serve each one. If one of the kids seem to want a second he past by and serve them a second plate. The room was filled with the sound of hungry kids eating. Some of the kids had trouble since some had missing fingers, hand or arm. Other had eyes gone or blinded, just one was paralyze from the wast down, and he also was missing his right hand.
Looking at each, Alex tried to imagine the horrible stories that went with each one of them. He wouldn't be surprise to learn that some had been push to far and broke, or others had done something that the instructor didn't like and had been punish. The moment these kids we're brought to the red room, they lost any freedom. Their only way out, was killing their way out and escaping, following the training by resisting the brainwashing over the years, then make a break for it during a outside mission, or being killed off as a waste once they become to much of a cripple.
"Hi everyone, I have gather all of you today to lets you have some choices. I know that none of you trust me, I sure as hell don't trust you either. But I've heard rumours of where you all have come from, the red room." Alex said, as he spoke the words he could see a tremble in each of them. That place had become a nigthmare for all.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The reason he spoke in english, was because he wanted to see if their was any brain damage to any of them. Sure this methods wasn't full proof, but at the very least it showed that each of them was able to understand him in a language that wasn't their native tong. And if one was heavily damage they might not be abole to responde, oh course to be sure they would need to do a full body check up. But considering that, he and them hadn't establish any kind of trust, it would not go over well if he did that right now.
"I want to show all of you something." Alex said, as he move to the back of the class, he turn on the projector.
He started to place the paper he wanted them to read. "As you can see, this is a direct order from your superior, to bring you all in the best health minius the crippling ones. So that next week you all can become test subject to various drugs or cybernetic experiment." Alex said as he watch from the back the reaction all of them had.
Some of the kids had their shoulder hunch down, some look pist off and a few rare one looked like the didn't believe him. He could see that their was at the very least three, that seem to have been further along in their brainwashing programe. But they keep quiet as they had promise until the end of the presentation. Before going in the cells to talk to the kids, Alex had ask Raiza to make sure she delivered a message. He ask that all of them promise to keep quiet until the end, after they could ask all they wanted and event deny anything he said.
After that paper, he showed more, his whole presentation was on how to anyone else, they all had become irrevelent to the red room. During all this time, Alex keep explaining certain document and their meaning to the teens. He didn't hold back nor did he hide anything from them, he even showed the parts of their files that had the approval for experimentation in a bold red stap.
"That was the last one, if any of you wish to have any of these in your hands, il leave them right here. Now I'm going to give you all my professional opinion on your choices. If you choses to stay, and wait for the team that will come here in a week. Either of two things will happen, once they are here they will either kill you after you tell them what happen, or after you give them all the info on me they will send you to the labs. Their is no way that they will be lenient toward you, just because you remain loyal to them." Alex said as he looked arround, he could see that those that had some hope, seem to be lost.
"All that said, I want to offer you all some option. One such option is that I help you get out of the country, it sad to say but none of you should stay here. If you do it will be the same as if you just stay here, it will only take longer. And they will be looking for all of you, as damage as you are, they aren't willing to let any of you go. Another option is that you come with me to America, their if you want I can help you find a loving familly to get adopted in, and medical assistance to heal your wound as much as possible. The last consist of some risk but also reward beyond anything you all can imagine. Come with me and swear your loyalty to me, I will give you back all that you have lost, I will use the skills that they have thought you and use them against them. I will offer you a new purpose a mission beyond all that you can imagine, and I will give you the power you need to achieve new highest higher then ever." Alex said as he looked at each of the kids in theirs eyes.
"Thats is what I offer, now the choice of were you go, is completely in your hands." Alex said, to a class room filled in silence, you could see every teen thinking about what they wanted. And some of them seem realise, that for the first in a very long time, they where given a choice on what to do.
