7. My room, My wings, My team

7. My room, My wings, My team

I was walking in a large black room made of darkness. The floor was covered in some liquid in which I could see my reflection. And it wasn’t a regular reflection. It was showing me with tree pair of wings. The first pair was dragon-like wings with a base bone structure made from golden energy. Its membrane was made from darkness full of stars and galaxies. This whole wing was emitting black smoke while burning with red, black, and white flames. Then there was a second pair in the shape of batwings without membrane. It was made from black liquid-looking matter. But it wasn’t normal black color, it wasn’t just the absence of light. It was the absence of everything even the time and space. The third pair was made of pure light in shape similar to the phoenix wing. They were emitting strong white light. These three wings were caressing each other and at the same time, fighting each other for dominance.

Then I woke up. I was in a big and comfortable bed. The room I was in was big. There was a huge television. As furniture, there was a sizeable wardrobe made from dark wood, a writing desk from the same dark wood with a chair which you might see in some castle. The floor was made from stone, probably marble. Walls were covered in light blue tapestry with the decoration of golden color.

I got out of my bed and started to look around ‘This looks, like a room where some princess may live. But I guess I am a princess. Anyway, how did they managed to set up this room so fast?’

I looked at what was I wearing and sighed in relief ‘Nice no one changed my clothes while I was sleeping. But wow that drugs were pretty strong and that weird dream… There are no windows and this whole place is pretty deep underground as my ability shows.’

I could feel something on my wrist, it was an ornamental bracelet. I had no idea about what was the purpose of it. ’Whatever, it looks good on me.’

I walked towards doors and tried to open them ‘Locked, that means this probably go out of my room. So I guess second doors are to the bathroom?’

Then I spotted my reflection in a small mirror on the writing desk. ‘From when I have these wings? Maybe the drugs triggered some weird dream which unlocked some hidden aspect of me?’

I tried to move them, and I could move them the same way as my limbs. Even though they were big, they simply passed through any object as they were immaterial, so they were not in my way. I instinctively focused on them and they become material. With the same focus, I was ably to turn them back to immaterial or even hide them entirely.

Voice came in through the intercom “Good, moring I am professor Berger, head researcher of this facility, may I come in?”

‘I wanted to take a bath, such a shame’

I sat on a chair behind a table and said “Come in”

At that exact moment, doors banged open and an old man with wrinkles, with short white hair, glasses, and lab coat rushed in with an excited look on his face “I couldn’t wait to talk with you. I have so many questions.”

Following him was a woman with blonde hair in her late twenties, she was dressed in a stereotypical magic robe “Excuse him, he is fool just for breaking a protocol with just walking here without any preparation”

“Take a seat,” I said while quickly searching the list of all abilities for ability and manually activating it without adding it o my quick select.

Two luxurious chairs made to be as uncomfortable as possible formed in front of me from black smoke.

Professor and his companion looked very dumbfounded for some reason. “How is this possible she has a bracelet absorbing such a huge amount of magical energy that it should be impossible to do something like this”

I quickly used the interface to show up my current celestial energy

‘Now I know what is that bracelet for, though it looks pretty weak for me. So it is time to tease them. They have only luck, that it is a nice looking bracelet.’

“Hohoho, You humans really thought that some trinket can block my powers? You are lucky that I like visuals of that thing” I said with an expression devoid of any emotion.

“No need to be angry about that, it was only a protocol. I would never try to suppress such amazing powers” said still, excited professor

“Skip to the questions, as I said before I want to take a bath and I will consider answering them”

“Of course, so the first question is simple. Are you a human?”

“Of course not. I am Pentarchy the most powerful, smartest, and all-mighty species of pure energy” I boasted with an insuppressible need to boast about me.

Professor started to blush before asking another question “Em okay, can I touch your wings?”

His female companion looked at him with a disgusted face “Wow, so you are not just weird you are perverted at the top of that I...”

‘What is he thinking? To touch my wings? My divine wings? Is he crazy? Should I kill him?’

Enraged I shouted at him while pushing him to the ground with “You perverted human, I come here with goodwill and you want to touch me? My wings are not for humans to touch...”

I awoke again in the same bad, ‘I guess, their stupid nanites are working perfectly. Still, what was that about him touching my wings? I think I overreacted about that whole stuff. He probably didn’t meant it in a perverted manner but was just interested in them. Anyway, I am going to take a bath.’

I walked to the bathroom, and it was luxurious. There was a big massage bathtub.

‘I can’t wait, I am so messy after this week. Ohh, I should look for cameras. I don’t want them spying on me when I am in the bath’

I searched the whole bathroom and found nothing. So I undressed and started to fill a bathtub with hot water. I dipped myself inside.

‘This is a such nice bath. But by the amount of steam coming from water and tap being set on the max temperature, I can tell that water is so hot that a normal human would get burned.’ I thought filled with the pleasure of hot water surrounding me.

Three days passed. I was locked in my room and except for a guard with a gun bringing me meals and taking away laundry to clean, I was without any contact with a living person.

On the fourth day agent Smith entered my room “Good morning, It is time to get to know with rest of your team.“

‘Finally something, this was so boring’

“What team?”

“As I said before you will be working with us in exchange for all this and our protection. And you will get the team to support you. This team will be compromised of elite agents and few people with special powers. So let’s go”

I cutely smiled “Ok, Mr. Agent. But I do not need any team“

‘Normally I would be happy for some sidekicks but I would bet that they are there to watch for me not to support me’

“Better to have support and don’t need it, than not to have a support and need it”

After leaving my room I found out that there is a large amount of security between my room and the rest of the facility. I was surrounded by heavily armed guards from all sides as we walked to our destination. After few minutes of walking, we arrived at some training room with a bunch of people waiting inside.

Frink Thomson POV:

When I was eleven years old I found out that I can move stuff with my mind. I was hiding my power for years. But when I was sixteen years old I got the stupid idea of robbing a bank with my power. From there it went downhill. Let’s say that a few people died. I spent two years locked in prison by some shady agency. But, after that luck finally hit me. The leadership of the agency changed. They now wanted to have some unit made of people with supernatural powers. Now after a year of training, now nineteen years old I was waiting for the last member of our team. What are they even thinking, to send someone new two days before the first mission? Our team was basically made of two kinds of people. The first one was composed of agents who voluntarily joined this agency. The second was composed of people like me forced to do this job. Yes, they technically gave us an option to choose, but the second option was to be locked forever inside of underground prison.

I asked Nina, who was forced to do this job too “Any idea who is this new person?”

“No idea Frinky, agents say that it is not our business to ask for classified information. But from how nervous they look I would bet that it is someone dangerous”

As I was talking with Nina, some young girl surrounded by four armed guards and agent Smith our commanding officer entered to room. I heard few whispers in the room but they all went quiet as Smith spoke ”This is your last member of this unit. She will be your main weapon. Please show here how it works here.“

She made a small courtesy “Hello, it is such a pleasure to work with you. I always wanted some sidekicks”

“Is this some joke? This small girl and as our strongest weapon? Don’t let me laugh at this...” Big Bob, who got into this shitty job after burning people with his pyromancy, was thrown to the wall as the girl vanished and instantly showed right in front of him. Now with three pairs of wings full particle effects on her back.

“Why are humans always so arrogant?” she said cutely giggling.
