Creating the ultimate in covert and intelligence gathering unit ever trained was the purpose of the entire program, It didn't stay that way with the discovery of the drifting derelict medical ship from an undiscovered world though. Everything changed that day when they opened it up to find multiple species of aliens and many computers still operational with mass quantities of data just waiting for the doctors and geeks to dig into them. As he steps over the last of the bodies strewn around the floor John realizes that it wasn't supposed to turn out like this at all. How he wished things could have been different for all these lives that had ended just for his to continue. He knew they would kill him if they get their hands on him again. They'd try to find him just to cover their own asses from the higher ups but they couldn't stop him from coming after them first. What choice did he really have anymore? Just because you make something better than it was originally doesn't mean you own it or that it will do what you want it to do either. "Now you have to find some other damned mongrel to be your lab rat, I won't do it anymore." yelling at the camera before he goes through the door into the waiting forest outside. John Martins hadn't change a bit in the last 10 years since he started this little "demo" for the military at least not on the outside but on the inside was a different matter entirely. These fanatics had done so many surgeries and spliced so many different things into his body that he didn't even think of himself as "human" anymore, they called him "Hybrid 32". Whatever happened to the others he didn't know for sure but from what he gathered whenever they thought he couldn't hear was that he and one other were the only ones to survive this last operation. He would just have to find the only other lost soul who knew what he had been through in this god forsaken place and hope they were of the same mind about it all. "Is there anyone still alive out there?" Jamee thought to herself. "I'm still here" came back to her from everywhere at once. "Who said that?" she yells. "I did" the voice came again this time seeming closer than before. "What do you want?" she asks the voice in her head. "The same thing you want, to not be alone anymore." He said. Before she could think of a reply he stepped out of the shadows to her left. Stumbling backwards from the stranger she tripped and nearly fell on her ass. Before she was even halfway to the ground she was cradled in his arms with her head lying on his chest. "How did you do that?"She whispers. "Do what?" he asked inside her head with a straight face still not blinking at her. "You caught me when I fell and you are talking to me without actually speaking." She asks "The same way that you can, we can do a lot of things that most people can't even conceive of being possible" was his response. "You mean that we can talk to each other like this and I can move as fast as you just did?" asking in her head just to try it out. "With practice you should be able to move nearly as fast as me yes. How long have you been here?" he asks out loud. She gasps at how husky his voice really is compared to the voice she had heard so far from him. "I was the last person to join the program that I am aware of." "How long?" he asks threateningly. She nearly jumps from his hold at his tone. "2 weeks." Visibly calming and less tense, he starts off through the wooded area to the only port he can recall being in this area from when he ran maneuvers in the forests of this backwater planet. Maybe she hadn't been through any the things that he'd had to endure. If she were lucky she hadn't even had her second surgery or her first splice for that matter. "You know I can still hear you right." she states with a smile on her face. "How many procedures have you been through?" he asks out of curiosity at her unusually fast learning of the abilities he was just learning himself. "I was just coming out of recovery from the first when all hell broke loose at the facility. Why, how many have you been through?" from the look of shock on his face she was curious now herself. "Too many to count without getting a massive headache." was his response, "You're lucky that you haven't been here as long as I have been." How had she even come this far with just the one surgery? His first was just the basic implementations of the injection port into the base of his skull and spinal tap with blood work after. There is no way that would have given her any of the abilities without having a lot more of the procedures and treatments let alone the recovery time after them all. Before her abilities would start to manifest and show themselves to her and others would notice. "How long have you been here?" her curiosity still beating at her to find out more about this intriguing man still carrying her through the heavily wooded area. Just as they came to a clearing at the edge of the tarmac he placed her feet back onto the ground and stepped away. "Ten years." He answered with a frown turning the edge of his lip and was just as quickly gone again. He started walking to the only building visible on the middle of the clearing. She blinked and almost missed the frown that might not have ever been there at all. When understanding finally came she had to run to catch him as him entered the hangar to find a way out of here. He walked past the few small aircraft to the small closet set into the far back corner of the main room. Opening the door he moved the cleaning supplies out of the way and stepped into the room while holding the door open for her to enter as well. With a small look of dismay she stepped into the small closet and wondered what he had planned on trying in the small area with both of them so close together. He closed the door and they were plunged into complete darkness. Life Is Full Of Tests Ch. 02 Disclosure: All characters that might perform in any erotic scenes in this story are 18 or older.

Didn't expect that many hits that fast but then again wasn't really expecting to write a story either so anything is better than nothing right? Anyway here is chapter two let me know what y'all think. Chapter Two With just a thought form him the back wall slid silently to the side and the lights came on revealing an opening wide enough for both of them to step into the next room. John smiled at the quick intake of air beside him as Jamee took in the sight of the small cruiser sitting in the middle of the hidden hangar. As soon as they entered the hangar the wall slid shut again with an inaudible click signaling they were locked in. She followed close behind as he closed on the ship. While admiring the sleek lines and contours of the ship she didn't notice him open the side ramp and enter to start the preflight checklist. While running her hand along the black ship she couldn't help but notice that the metal almost felt like ebony skin and without a single identifying mark or even the ships name stenciled within view it seemed to breathe as he powered her up inside. She was the single most magnificent piece of machinery that Jamee had ever seen in her twenty-one years of life. "You coming or are you staying here?" he whispered inside her head. "I was just admiring the ship, I'm coming in now." she answered back then rushed up the ramp, only to completely stop and stare at the artistic design of the interior. He stood openly admiring her body for the first time since meeting her in the woods. She stood at about 5 foot 9 inches or so with perky B cup breasts that just begged to be played with, weighing around 130 pounds soaking wet. She had shoulder length honey-blonde hair and eyes bluer than any he had ever seen in any Holo-Vid let alone real life and they were shimmering even in this average lighting. Would she be able to look past his rough exterior and see the real him on the inside, he didn't think so. Still he was smiling at her from the cockpit hatch. "We have a lot in common this ship and I, our physical makeup are pieced together from the parts of others." He supplied. "You're sure this ship won't be missed if we take it?" she asked half fearing the reality of his comment and the other half wondering how both would handle with her hands steering them. "Not likely, there isn't anyone aside from the two of us that knows of her existence. Even if someone does they'll never find us let alone catch us after we leave launch from this hangar." Teaching this beautiful woman was going to be enjoyable. As long as he could keep from messing anything up along the way he might actually have a chance at normalcy with her at his side. With that being said he climbed back into the pilot seat and got back to the preflight checklist. Just as he was finishing up she stepped into the cockpit and closed the hatch behind her before sitting in the co-pilot seat and strapping herself in. She had never flown anything this fancy before but there was a first time for everything. For some reason the text rolling across her screen was in a language she had never seen before. If only she could understand half of it she would ask him if she could take her out. "It's not as foreign as you may think." whispering in her mind, "All you have to do is let your mind drift and the nano's in your brain will do the rest for you." He said aloud. "Is he reading my mind or am I just that obvious?" she thought to herself. "Actually I'm just very observant of you. I'm not reading more than you are broadcasting. We're going to have to work on your abilities before we get to any kind of civilization. We can't afford for you to accidently talk in the head of some guy that you think is hot and from fifty feet away he notices you are the only one looking at him." Laughing as he spoke. "I don't think we will have to worry about that anytime soon. Besides you aren't so bad looking yourself and I haven't said anything to that effect in your head yet.....Damn. I guess I just told you that out loud instead anyway didn't I?" "Yeah but had I been reading your mind I would already know that." He jabbed back at her. "Good thing I can make you forget me telling you that huh?" She grinned and went to killing the thought of her saying that out loud to him. He was already arrogant as hell and they hadn't even slept near each other let alone with each other. As she leaned towards him he thought she was going to kiss him so he leaned in for the kiss and she put her fingers to his temples and stopped him in all his movements as she started clearing his mind of all thoughts of her saying she thought he was sexy or even hot. With that taken care of she sat back in her seat and started drifting in her mind like he said to do so she could read the screen. "She thinks I am sexy not just hot, huh. Go figure, I was hoping she found me at least a little attractive but this is even better." He thought, glad that he could keep his thoughts to himself. "What the hell did they do to this woman in just two weeks that had taken them years to do with him. She just tried to wipe memories from my mind, had I not already been able to do the same thing it might have worked too. As long as she thinks that she can I will just have to see what else I can get out of her too. "Let's get this show on the road shall we?" "Yeah sure sorry what was I saying?" He asked playing along. Smiling to herself, she says "You were asking me if I wanted to take the controls to get us out of here. I was about to say yes till you started looking at me funny. Are we ready to go then Captain?" "What makes you think I am a captain?" "Just a guess you assume that I am going to fallow your orders so I just figured that you were at least a Captain. Was I wrong?" "Yes actually, I was a Warrant Officer in the Terran Marine Corps before I joined this supposedly Galactic Congress sanctioned program." "Hmm I knew you were military of some kind just by the way you carry yourself." "And how exactly is that?" He asked curiously. "You walk like you're ready rip someone's head off out through their ass." He laughs, "It'll take a little work to do if I have too but yeah I could." "Thanks for clarifying, I feel so much better now." She mumbles as she slowly lifts the ship from the deck. She expected the wall to again open into the early evening sky but instead he sits expectedly waiting on her until she notices the deck has gotten brighter. Looking up the roof has opened to let them out that way instead. Lifting higher she takes them out smoothly as she accelerates faster the ground drops away so fast that she would have fallen out of her seat if she wasn't strapped in. John almost started laughing at the look on her face as the ship cleared the hangar it went straight to atmosphere cruising speed and she obviously wasn't expecting that at all. "Should I take the controls now or do you have a specific destination in mind?" "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" "I don't know what you're talking about Hun. That's how this she always reacts when she isn't obstructed by her open hangar after lift-off. You should try it when we are on an actual flightline, but make sure you relieve yourself at the head first." He chuckled to himself. With a smirk right back at him she replied, "Maybe we should lie low for a while and see what the news feed comes up with for this disaster. See if we get blamed for it or if it gets classified as an accident. Do you have any ideas where we could hide out at?" "Personally I was going to head home. It would be the last place they would think to look if we were thought to be alive after the explosion anyway." "I wouldn't mind seeing where you are from if it's ok if I tag along." As we passed the last moon that revolves around the facilities planet we jumped into hyperspace and settled in for the 3 week trip back to Terra.

Criticism, comments and all other forms of response are welcome and will determine further entries. Sorry for the wait on this chapter have been busy with real life, trying to get out a couple of chapters before the new year comes along. Will be moving the family to a different state for a bunch of stupid reasons but will try to keep writing after we get settled in. Chapter Three 3 weeks is a fairly long time to be traveling in hyperspace but it's usually twice that long just from one end of a galactic arm to the other and they were crossing the galaxy. Most people don't even travel that far in their lifetime let alone four or five times in a year. This would be Johns first time anywhere near Terra in almost 9 years. The program didn't let any of their test subjects get anywhere close to their home planets due to a few of the subjects going AWOL for almost four months before John and his team were sent in to bring them back. In the end only 2 of the 7 that left came back alive. He had tried to talk them into coming back without the use of force but only the last two had heard the rumors of a team bringing dead bodies back and surrendered as soon as John asked them to come back before something 'bad happened to them'. Apparently they had all gotten together to keep out of the programs hands and used a common network to keep in touch until they started dying off. They had been training almost nonstop since they went into hyperspace and John still felt like he needed more time to fine tune his newer abilities. Jamee was making very good progress with the many skills that John had taken years to perfect. She was mastering them in days, hours even for some. 2 days till they were set to enter Terra's star system she was phasing through walls and John was just learning to do that when they did his last operation before the lab went under. So in the end Jamee was teaching John some things that he didn't even think were possible. John was phasing through the wall to her quarters until he noticed her hovering naked in the air above her bunk and lost his concentration. "What the hell did they do to you in that lab anyway?" He asked while trying to hide his red face and pull the last piece of his flight suit out of the wall where he had stabilized again. "The same thing they did to you and all the others." She was laughing inside his head now. "Not likely, I can't hover like that" "I'm not hovering, it's called meditating." "I've been meditating since I was ten years old and in Martial Arts classes and I can't do what you are doing right now." She lowered herself to her mattress before stretching out her arms and legs while wearing only a smirk on her lips. "Maybe you have been "hovering" the whole time, you just don't see yourself when you close your eyes to meditate. Have you ever meditated while anyone else was around?" "I never trusted anyone to be around me when I was that vulnerable. Whenever I needed to meditate I would keep myself inside my quarters and locked out the keypad so I wouldn't be disturbed." "You can see how well that works for people like us, right? I did the same to my door just ten minutes ago." "Yeah, sorry about this by the way I was just trying to show off that I was getting really good at it." Looking back at the edge of his sleeve that was still in the wall, he shrugged. "Apparently I need to keep practicing though." "On the bright side you didn't lose your concentration halfway through the wall like some of the others that started training the same time I did. That's really messy to clean up by the way." Shivering she started to get dressed. She was openly teasing him lately like she wasn't even bothered by the fact that the committee from the program had probably already reported them as the murderers of the whole lab by now. The only thing that would keep them semi-safe was the fact that his latest abilities and those that she has had apparently from her first operation would not be known by anyone aside from the dead techs from the lab and John had wiped out all of their records before he left the facility. "So anyway, did you need something besides wanting to show off?" She asked while grinning at his attempts to get the sleeve out of the wall. "Yeah actually I was going to tell you we need to relax and not train as hard anymore until after we find someplace safe to get ourselves organized and ready to leave Terra again."He said as she walked closer to where he was standing attached to the wall. "We've still got a couple of weeks to go yet before we get there yet don't we? That should give us plenty more time to keep training." She asked as she phased her hand into the wall and pulled his sleeve out. "You are way too good to have just learned how to do that a couple of weeks ago. In a standard cruiser the trip from the lab to Terra would likely take us close to two and a half months. This ship can do it in about a third of the time. So by using Volk here, we will be setting down on Terra in just two more days." He said while patting the wall that he was now free of. "You mean to tell me that we have been traveling at three times the speed of a cruiser?" her mouth now hanging open. "Actually Volk can max out at almost four times the speed of a cruiser but only about twice that of a four engine carrier. If I can trust you and you plan to hang around for awhile I can show you the engineering section some time." smiling down to her he slowly closes her mouth with his index finger under her chin. Dumbstruck she watches as he walks out her hatch without even trying to open it first. "What the hell have I gotten myself into now?" she thought as she hurriedly unlocks the door and runs to catch up to him as he enters the bridge. "As we drop out of hyperspace we will be slowing down considerably to keep our cover as a freighter intact. Since we are going planet-side a cover story for us being the only two onboard would be useful. I already created new identities and the proper paperwork for the both of us. I hope you are ok with being my wife since you and I won't pass as siblings. It's more likely than you being a friend just along for the ride, besides staying together will make it easier when they start looking for us. No one will be looking for us as a married couple." He rationalized to her. "Are you serious? We've only known each other a couple of weeks and already you got our lives planned out, huh?" Thinking to just a couple of minutes ago she realizes that him seeing her nude didn't bother her nearly as much as it should rather it excited her that he might want to do more than look at her. Him drawing up papers that they were already married implied that he did, right? "It's merely a disguise for us to go unnoticed but if you insist upon us getting married we can just have a real wedding after we land, I hope she is reacting like this because she likes the idea." He says, the whole time smiling at her ever reddening cheeks. "Here's your ID and your background story to look over. We still have some time if you want to change anything just let me know and I'll see what we can work out." "Thanks a lot." She smirked back. Yanking the data-pad from his hand she turned leaving him to gloat by his lonesome. "Damn she has a nice ass." He thought to himself. "Thanks, always nice to know that someone notices." She giggled back to him halfway down the hall to her quarters. "You know we are getting way to comfortable reading each other right?" he asked. "Yeah, but I thought we were getting married anyway? Spouses shouldn't have any secrets between them." she jabbed back at him. "Ok smart-ass you just wait till you read how we met." He quipped with a smile in his voice. "If it's too bad I'm going to kick your ass." Smiling to herself she sits on her bunk and starts reading her life story. The next day as he opens his eyes from meditating her smiling face is the first thing he sees. Then he notices that she is as naked as she was yesterday in her room. "Not that I am complaining but I can see all of you, where you meditating as well?" he asks. "I had thought about it but decided to wait till we could do it together. I should let you know that you do indeed float upward while you meditate too." She confirmed her own suspicions. "Why would you want to meditate together? Wouldn't that seem a bit to personal between the two of us?" again curious of her responses. "Considering that we will probably be together for quite awhile longer us meditating together would help us understand each other and our responses to our environment around us as well." She says stating the obvious. "We don't have to be nude to do this you know?" curious to his own question, "why am I trying to talk her back into her own clothes when I am already butt-naked as well?" "Very true but being nude while I meditate makes me more comfortable, doesn't it seem the same for you? Besides it's not like you didn't see everything yesterday when you came into my room unannounced anyway." wondering why he is so against her being nude in his quarters, until she notices the hard-on he is trying to hide without her seeing it."Oh, I see. So is that the reason for wanting to be dressed for this?" Looking down he sees his cock hard and ready. "How did I not feel that?" "May I? Feel it I mean." She asks, her hand itching to touch his hardness. Already too late to keep her from seeing him he isn't going to stop her from touching him either it seems. "Please do. I have been wanting this since I first heard your voice in my head weeks ago." He admitted to her and to himself. "We can meditate later. We won't need clothes for what I want to do right now, either." As her fingers closed around him his eyes drifted closed and the lights blinked out, the glow from his PC the only light glowing in the room.
