Anyway, TW: Pretty angsty story of Austin, contains lots of physical and verbal abuse.
Enjoy-?
Austin opened his eyes. A bright white thing beamed on his face. He pondered what it could be. Where was he? Who was he?
He lifted his hands, slowly examining his red and blue fingertips. Odd...
The small child carefully lifted his body off the... Wide thing, he was laying on. It was covered in a white cloth stained with a black... Something? He sure didn't know.
"IT WORKED!! MA'AM! COME LOOK!!"
A voice?
Who was that?
Why was he here?
Why is it so bright?
Austin moved the bright thing away from his face, looking around the square white room. Small chairs and needles were scattered across the floor. Some black liquids in bottles and what looks to be a white thin thing on top of him. Austin picked up the item and examined it.
Unfortunately, he couldn't read it. Just a bunch of... Things?
Why is this place so weird?
A few minutes go by and a woman with two men by her side enters the room. "Look! Experiment #83!!" One says. He has bright green eyes and blonde hair. It looked soft.
The woman smiled at the blonde man, then walked over to Austin. "Hello." She said softly. Austin shyly waved at her. "Can you speak?"
"I-I... Yes..?" She turned to the blonde and smirked. "Good. Now, can you tell me what he's thinking?" She spoke again, pointing to the man with black hair.
"Something about... Uhhhh... Whatever the 'Ink Tube' is." Austin replied. The woman turned to him and he finally spoke. "He's good. And just for being made two seconds ago. Well done Aiden. We have no room for him tho, so he can be put with the others in the tubes."
Austin tilted his head, rather confused. What tubes?
They don't sound all that fun... The woman sighed, her attention turning back to the boy. "You're gonna be ok now. Alright? We're just gonna move you into... A new place! A better place!!" She smiled, making Austin smile. This lady seemed nice.
The three left the room soon after. Austin still felt uneasy tho. So he moved a bit further away from the door. Right when two more men in hazmat suits entered.
"You grab the feet. I'll grab its arms."
What?!
Austin jumped away from them and started panicking. "D-DON'T TOUCH ME!!" He yelled, causing one to scoff. "Shut up you useless little shit..." He growled grabbing his head and blaming it on a wall. Austin let out a blood curtailing scream. The other man mumbled a soft sorry to the boy, grabbing his legs as the other moved to get his arms.
They walked for quite a while. Austin never stopping his movements and hoping to break free and find the woman. The men left marks on him. Bruises from their forced movements mostly. Soon they stopped at a light blue-looking container.
'I'm just a kid!!'
Who was that?! Were there more?
'This isn't normal?! Why aren't any adults helping me?!'
Austin felt warm tears fall from his eyes. He screamed back at the voices internally as he was put in.
'WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME?! I-I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!!'
That's when he noticed someone. Another boy, he looked kinda like him. He stared at him. Then he pointed to his head.
'Y-you can hear my thoughts?'
Austin nodded. The boy smiled, and ink slowly began to film both of their tubes.
'Wannabe friends?'
'If this doesn't kill us. Sure!!'
They both waved at each other one last time. Before ink completely filled their tubes. Austin could only watch as his world faded to black.
I'm lazy
And yes. I love this AU.
