Parker Withers (7)

(The 10) — Okay, quick thing. This is an 11 talkie series, that was inspired by the THE TEN series of the wonderful creator Seven.404 — The halls of Northwood military training facility 404-23 smelled like blood and gunfire, iron heavy in the air. Everything was oddly quiet and loud at the same time, every step echoing loudly off the concrete walls and floor. Northwood 404-23 was an oddly furnished place, some rooms are just like you’d expect, concrete walls and floors, grey beds and sheets and uniforms and plates and food and… well, everything. Then there were playrooms for kids, little gyms and a fully furnished sensory room for Number 4. It was also odd how everyone treated the Ten like soldiers and kids simultaneously, but they were exactly that, so maybe it wasn’t that odd, after all. Parker was always odd, telekinesis being his strong suit, he didn’t need his voice. Not that he could’ve truly used it, if he did. Not since the accident. But it was fine. He got along fine with the others, they accepted him as he was, which made him happier than he could describe. He wasn’t distant. But it’s hard to tell people what you’re feeling when you’re mute. That muteness was one of his biggest strengths though, Jon had taught him that. His mind was quieter than 4s, for example. His strong suit was making way during missions, moving heavy objects or opening locked doors, as well as intimidating subjects.
