X-4 walked down all the alleyways. He was avoiding all the pathetic humans as he passed, hissing at the ones who were particularly revolting. He didn't exactly know where to start looking for the other freaks, but he wouldn't stop moving until he found one. His ears rung with the sounds of sirens and passing cars, the busy humans at play. At that moment he wrung his hands and wondered the sensation he would feel ripping the flesh of his tormentors.
He came to the end of a particular alley and walked outward. He smelled rotting garbage in the dumpster near him, and he investigated the stench. "Depositing their filthy waste." 4 said irritably. "Like WE were deposited." He spat. Then his other sides began to kick in. The other experiments in that facility, he should unite with them. Be their ally. He shook that thought from his head immediately. Then a thought bubbled and it said "you could be heroes! with your unique abilities!" but that thought made 4 even angrier he punched the dumpster he was standing at hard. It was a thick and resounding 'thud' as his fist met the metallic box.
But his next instinct was much different. He could feel them. The one's from the facility. They were coming. He smiled, and welcomed the thought of revenge. But another side entered his mind and he began to become partially frightened. He opened the dumpster, and lay inside it, closing the lid.
From inside, he heard heavy breathing, and poked open the lid of the dumpster ever so lightly, peering outside. That was when he saw him. one of the other experiments. It was the pale one. The quiet one. 4 was about to leave the safety of the garbage and attack the vermin, when he witnessed an incredible sight. The other experiment jumped straight up, way over his head, and landed on top of the building.
4 didn't have time to process what he just saw. Because the men from the facility soon turned the alley. He stayed where he was for reasons unknown. After the men continued to run down the alley searching for the pale x, 4 emerged from the waste. He looked over at the fire escape that was connected to the building the other X jumped onto, so he again used his instincts. He spat his tongue outward and wrapped it around the cold steel of the ladder, pulling it downward. The slimy tongue shot back into his mouth, and 4 climbed upward. He began to giggle uncontrollably, giddy to the fact he was going to tear apart one of the freaks.
He reached the top and crawled over the ledge of the building. But he smiled an even more wicked smile- not only did he find the first x, but he found a small cowering female as well. He hissed and revealed himself.
