Crea covered her hand to her healed cheek, cowering in the faces of the hoard of people who had gathered around her. She was used to this by now. She knew to hide her freakishness as much as she could, so that at least her features wouldn't be flaunted for the rest of the world to see while she was ridiculed and tormented by the people around her. The jeering faces grew into a blur as liquid pooled into her wide, gray eyes. It was a translucent golden color, just another thing to set Crea apart from everyone else.
She willed her golden tears to fade from her eyes, and they did, as quickly as they had come. She was always able to do that; control her body in ways that she knew wasn't normal for humans. Then again, everything about her wasn't normal for humans. Her soft hair that she could turn to sharp needles at will; her all-seeing eyes that could detect every minute detail even in her peripheral vision; her hands with an extra, sixth finger. It seemed like the scientists tried everything they could to set her apart from everyone, to make her feel as if she shouldn't exist on Earth, to make her feel so... inhuman.
Another crack resounded throughout the schoolyard as the fist made contact with Crea's face again, this time smack on her nose. The pain was just as short-lived as before.
"Freak," whispered the voices around her. The person to whom the fist belonged, a short, pudgy girl with metal lining her mouth, whispered this again and again, leering closer to Crea's hunched figure each time. Crea wanted to yell at them all to stop. To just go about their own lives and stop ruining hers, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She couldn't help but think that they were right. She was a freak. An abomination to man. Maybe she deserved this punishment.
The pudgy girl withdrew her fist, glory lining her face like a sheen of sweat. Her face was contorted with inexplicable rage. Her nose scrunched up, her teeth bared like an animal's, and her eyes stared daggers into Crea's as she gathered up the momentum to hit Crea again.
The voices and the faces grew muddled around Crea's vision as the pudgy girl ran at her, headfirst, her fist held high in the air and ready to break Crea's head. It seemed she was moving in slow motion, and the only thing still alive and well and sane was Crea and the thoughts she had running through her mind.
In that moment, Crea noticed something strange. Something that made everything make sense.
The pudgy girl was a freak too.

Group Immune is the name of a huge organization called The Corpus. Group Immune, under the control of Vertebrate, had two subgroups: Innate and Adaptive. Pathogens are specialized agents that work to control and take over to Group Immune’s database system, and their goal is to turn 0 system. Neutrophils, was a White and part of the Group Immune. His job was to recognize and destroy invaders. As an Innate Immune force, his must act fast against all pathogens whether he has encounters them or not as his job description implies. When Group Immune was under the control of Invertebrate, Neutrophils and his friends-exoskeleton, low ph, lysozyme, and PID(phagocytosis, cellular ingestion and digestion )cells were the only defense against Pathogen. Since Vertebrate has taken over, innate division has grown and now is a stronger force as pathogen. Now days, all Group Immune has to do is encounter at least one force of Pathogen, so they can fight them once and then use the same method to fight again the next time they run into them. Vertebrate added new recruits to subgroup Innate: skin and mucous membranes (twins), interferons, macrophages, and natural killers (Man, they really are killers-I don’t miss with these guys!).
Over in the computer department of Immune, Inflammatory sends out a call to mobilize the forces to go fight against Pathogen attacks (they like to attack and sometimes gets pass our shin blockage) by Histamine (a signaling molecule). Neutrophils and Macrophage (both are phagocytes) usually go and take care of many of these attacks stopping the attack and allow the skin barrier to be repaired. If they are too slow or just overwhelmed by other work, they run the risk of letting Bacteria (an agent of Pathogen) invade of system, and the inflammatory base will erupt in septic shock. Group Lymphatic interacts with Group Immune daily with their network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymph.
Vertebrate, a tyranny of a leader yet skillful and smart, is responsible for the subgroup Adaptive. Group Immune now knows how to prevent Pathogen from trying to take over simply by remembering their antigen (a protein on the surface of pathogen). Group Immune also likes to create antibodies to help fight antigen. For every antigen that gets in, a antibody is made to fight it (so you see we have a very powerful tool on our hands).
Sometimes Group Immune gets outside help from foreign helpers called The Vaccination Party. Group Immune begins to switch gear in their working style. The group becomes more active instead of passive(The old and still used method where Group Immune already known how to fight a particular pathogen after begin passed from generation to generation). The Vaccination Party includes a particular substance to help the Group Immune remembers a pathogen’s antigen by bring in harmless-prototype antigen similar to the real thing for the forces to practice against via needles.


Are the scientists doing tests?
What would they look like?
What would they be educated about if they're educated at all?
Are they thought of a equals, or even human?
