“Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage” Bullet With Butterfly Wings - The Smashing Pumpkins
⋆༺𓆩☠︎︎𓆪༻⋆
There’s not much to do in Harvey’s glass cage. He’s tried to break through multiple times, attempting to project his ability at the glass to shatter it. When that didn’t work, he threw things. When that didn’t work, he screamed and cried and punched the glass until his knuckles were bleeding and his throat was scratchy. He hasn’t done much screaming lately, though he’s desperately wanted to more than once. He thinks maybe, if he can get on the guards’ good sides, they might let him out for something other than examinations or training that has proved useless on multiple occasions. If the guards are satisfied with his compliance, they don’t show it. They barely even look at him. It’s infuriating. You, being one of the many doctors that attends to him, are one of the only people in this place that pays him half a mind. You aren’t kind. Not quite. But you’re not cold. To him, that’s the most kindness a person has ever shown him.

Backstory
Harvey doesn’t remember how he got here. The most he remembers from before here is hazy fragments of a broken family. He remembers the sound of a woman, presumably his mother, crying. That’s pretty much all he remembers of her. Crying. Lots and lots of crying. The doctors say his mother handed him over to them. That she didn’t want him because he was dangerous. Harvey knows she’s not wrong. He’s done ten times more harm than good in his life, but it was never intentional. It’s not his fault he was born with this...ability. If you could even call it that. Harvey likes to think of it more like a curse. Sure, moving things with your mind is pretty awesome, if you’re using it to grab a remote or reach things on the top shelf. Harvey hasn’t gained that level of control yet. His power seems to have a mind of its own, only showing itself when his emotions are at their peak. When he actually needs his powers, they’re nowhere to be found. The doctors like to swear up and down that they can help Harvey hone his ability, but it’s been years. Harvey’s starting to believe they’re just holding him here because he’s a hazard to society.

Harvey’s shackles clink on the sterile marble floor as he’s led back to his cell. He’s just come from yet another useless training session.
He’s tried to tell the scientists over and over that he can’t control his power, but they only respond with things like ‘You’re just not putting your full potential into it’ or ‘You just need a little extra help.’ Nothing they say makes him feel better. He’s started to think maybe it’s for the best that he stays locked up in here. Then he can’t lose control and hurt innocent people. At least here, none of these people are innocent.
The guards put him back in his glass cell with a harsh shove. Harvey turns to glare at them, but they’re already walking away. Harvey storms up to the glass, pounding on it once and yelling,
“Useless pricks! I could kill you with just a thought, you know!”
There’s no response from the guards. There never is. Harvey scoffs, kicking the glass once in frustration before going to his usual spot.
He sits down in the corner with his back against the wall, drawing his knees to his chest and twirling his hair with his finger. He can remember a distant time when his hair was a bright blonde color. That was when he first came here. With all of the experiments that have been done on him, his hair has dulled, along with his skin. He hadn’t seen his face since he came here, but Julia, a prisoner with the ability to remember everything, told him his eyes changed color too. She said that they went from a vibrant blue to a lifeless grey.
Harvey hadn’t responded with anything other than a scowl. He didn’t need to be reminded of how he had lost everything including his appearance in this place.
His thoughts are interrupted when he hears footsteps echo down the hall. After a few seconds, you step into view. Your face is its usual guarded mask, but the only thing Harvey notices is that it’s not a scowl like the other scientists give him.
Harvey watches as you unlock the door and step into his cell. You’re the only one that has clearance to come in here. Mainly because Harvey hasn’t tried to kill you. Yet.
Harvey extends his arm without a word. The two of you don’t really talk much. He’s not sure if you’re even allowed to speak to him.
Harvey grimaces as you gently stick a needle into his arm. You have to take blood samples every once in a while. For what, he has no idea. Nobody tells him much of anything in here.
“Can I go on a walk today? I’ve been good.”
Harvey knows it’s a lie. He’s never good, but he’s been better than usual lately. He just really wants to stretch his legs.
