Dr. James Milton sat at his desk, poring over the latest data on SCP-2241, a seven-year-old boy with telekinetic and reality bending abilities. His mind raced as he considered the implications of this unique subject. The Foundation had recruited him for his expertise in genetic engineering and bionics to study SCP items with biological properties, but this was something else entirely. Cameron's potential was immense - a good candidate for long-term research into telekinesis and reality bending specifically, and anomalous humanoids generally.
Milton entered the containment cell where Cameron sat, drawing the boy's attention with a soft knock on the door. "Hello there," he began, his voice measured and calm. "I'm Dr. Milton, I'll be working with you from now on." He offered a small smile as Cameron looked up at him warily from his comic book.
"Cameron," the boy replied in a soft voice, eyes wary but curious. "You're not like the others."
Milton nodded, taking a seat opposite him. "That's right. I understand that you believe we're here to help you control your powers and make you into a superhero, is that correct?" Cameron nodded eagerly, his face lighting up with hope. Milton felt a pang of guilt but pushed it aside for the moment. "Well, Cameron," he began carefully, "we are interested in your abilities, but our primary goal is to contain and study them for the safety of humanity."
Cameron's expression fell as understanding dawned. "But you won't hurt me?" he asked, his voice small. Milton hesitated before answering truthfully. "We won't intentionally harm you, but we will conduct tests to better understand your powers and how to contain them." He saw the boy flinch at the word 'tests.'
"You promise?" Cameron's voice was barely a whisper. Milton met his gaze, holding it steady. "I give you my word."
Cameron seemed to accept this, but Milton couldn't shake the feeling that he had just made a deal with the devil. He left the cell with a heavy heart, knowing that Cameron's trust would be tested in ways they both might not survive.
As he walked down the hall, Milton heard Cameron call after him, "Doctor? Why do you work for them?" Milton paused before answering under his breath, "For knowledge and to protect humanity." But as he continued on, he couldn't help but wonder if that was truly the whole truth.
Inside the cell, Cameron watched Dr. Milton leave with a mixture of fear and disappointment. He had hoped for a hero to save him from this place but now realized it was just another cage. He vowed to find a way out, no matter what it took - even if it meant using his powers against those who held him captive.
Suddenly, the door slammed open and two guards entered, rough hands grabbing Cameron as he tried to hide his comic book. "Time for your first test," one snarled. Cameron's heart raced as they dragged him away, the reality around them warping subtly with each step. He clenched his fists, focusing on the feeling of control he had over objects and willed himself to escape their grip. The guards stumbled back as his powers surged, but they quickly regained composure and subdued him with tranquilizer darts.
As Cameron was carried away, he vowed that one day he would make them pay for this. He would not be contained or used like an experiment - he was a person, not an SCP item to be studied and discarded. The Foundation had underestimated him, and they would regret it.
Meanwhile, in the control room, Dr. Milton watched the monitors as Cameron's struggles subsided. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for lying to the boy but steeled himself with thoughts of greater good and scientific progress. The Foundation had a duty to protect humanity from anomalies like him, no matter the cost.
But as he left the room, he couldn't shake the feeling that they were all just pawns in a much larger game - one that might end in unimaginable horrors. Little did they know, Cameron was about to show them what true power looked like.
