There was no time to collect his thoughts, not time to consider what he was going to do next...all he did was run. As fast and as far as he could, not daring to look back and not trusting his wings enough to attempt flight. Instead, they remained pinned close to his body and shielded his face from the dense underbrush.

Free. He was free.

In truth, Falkner didn’t know how he’d escaped-only that this was no lab. Even through the trees, the sun beat warm on his skin. Warmer than he remembered it being, but years away from it’s light did that.

Were he not so scared that someone might be after him, he might have laughed.

His air sacs might have allowed him to run a great distance more, but the rest of his body wasn’t used to the exercise. Eventually, he was forced to slow down to a walk. There were no sounds coming from behind him, so perhaps-

Then some noise to his right took him by surprise. On instinct, the hybrid tried to dart away from the source, only to feel the ground get pulled from underneath his talons. Or, rather, he was pulled from the ground, lifted high in the air by a re-enforced net. The creature struggled, but there was simply no room to bat his wings, and his claws got tangled up easily. Still he continued to fight, the thought that he was exhausting himself never once coming to mind.

What... what was happening... someone was talking... he was being touched...

Fire blinked stupidly at the man before him but what he saw didn't seem to register and it looked more as though the hybrid was staring through Calum rather than at him. He didn't resist when his wing was being tugged, and instead let himself be pulled along.

He was so tired... why was he so tired?

(SoaringSeagullTrainer) Calum said nothing, sliding a container of food into his cell. It was drugged, naturally. Frankly, seeking miner revenge on Subject F, was pointless. But it would be fun. All he had to do now, was wait a little while.

Fire didn’t really pay attention when the food was slid through his door. Under normal circumstances, he’d never accept food brought by Calum. He knew the man hated him and would try anything to make his life here even more hellish than it actually was afterall.

But these weren’t normal circumstances. The Subject was so out of it, he didn’t even think to check who it was standing outside his cell door and just wordlessly accepted the container of-… something he’d probably recognise if he was able to focus. It didn’t take long for the drugs to take effect and a few minutes later the world was spinning and he felt like he was flying- no, falling, and oh Arceus he needed to lay down.
