Thread: Fighting Freedom - X-Men

It was one of the most secure places in the history of the united states... all new equipment, all new technology, Guards and technology working almost perfectly together to create one of the most secure prisons in the world... not that anyone knew it was a prison. According to the public, it was a research facility. One that was working on high tech weapons for the Government... it was only half a lie. Led by a man named 'Striker' they where also the leading research development in... mutants. Controlling, killing, manipulating, and ultimately, curing, mutants. Even the president was unaware of the highly illegal activities that went on under Strikers orders. There where dozens of kidnapped victims, but most of them where beyond saving now. Most of them, simply couldn't be saved. It was the most secure place in the world, and yet one young man was in there, downloading information off a computer, stealing all of their work almost effortlessly. He had no real name, because technically, he didn't exist... he had been born, and immediately abandoned because he had been born nearly fully intelligent... he even remembered being in the womb, and being born... very traumatic, but he had gotten over it. He remembered his parents very clearly, the look of horror and fear on their faces as they dropped him into the freezing water of the River. He smirked a little to himself as he tapped a few Keys and shook his head. His Powers made it very uniquely easy to hack into computers, after all, when you could reach into a Computer with your mind and convince it that you where supposed to be there, well, it was all too easy. His other power made it uniquely perfect for his life as a thief... the Ability to render himself, and anything he touched completely invisible was... interesting... and draining. He was visible right then, he'd cut the video feeds through the entire building, and the morons where spending wasted time searching the control rooms, forgetting that one could manage almost anything wirelessly. He had stashed himself in a bathroom and was doing everything from his Laptop Computer. He smirked as he collected everything he needed, and with a few more Key strokes, implanted a virus that would completely wipe out the entire Data base... this 'Striker' bastard... was going to loose everything. He paused, blinking at the many cages which held young men and women and wrinkled his nose. He wasn't sure if anyone down there could be saved, but he had to try. He closed his Laptop, slipped it into the backpack, slipped his Glasses back on, and rendered himself invisible once again as he moved back out into the Halls, deftly avoiding the running morons who where panicking about their lack of security. It only took him five minutes to find the Cages, and only three to have them all unlocked. Only one person reacted, and he moved over to her, taking her by the wrist... that was at least one good thing... anyone he touched, could see him as the powers that made him invisible, worked on the both of them. i'm here to get you out. he explained simply. do not let go of my hand, and remain as quiet as possible, do you understand?
