Terror of the Soul

Where Ends Meet

[SGU Interrogation, 00:19]

A bruised and beat up man was sitting in a small room with a chair. He was blindfolded in front of a table, hands cuffed behind his back.

"W-what do you want from me..."

A short woman was sitting on the other side of the table and another was standing on the outside of the tinted window.

"I suggest you be 100% when I ask you these questions. It'll make the process a lot easier for me and a lot less painless for you."

She tapped her pen on the metal table in a certain rhythm. The man stayed silent throughout. Only taps and the ventilation system could be heard in the room.

"Midas correct? I'm Director Boltz, the person that sent those people to take care of you. Right now you're inside of an interrogation room."

"I am Midas yes. However, the fact that you can get answers out of me is appalling."

Jeanna stopped tapping the pen and folded her arms on the table.

"Who do you work for? Those power enhancing drugs..where did they come from and what was your purpose for delivering it?"

"I'd rather DIE than give you information. Besides it's already too late."

Jeanna rose an eyebrow with curiosity and unfolded her legs. "Would you like to elaborate on that? I mean of course you won't but regardless, you WILL tell me."

Midas lunged at Jeanna, which was unphased because the room was being monitored and audio was recording. Not only that, Midas was cuffed to a steel chair, which rendered his Abnormality useless.

"And what if I don't woman?! What can YOU do? EXACTLY!!" Midas leaned back in the chair and smirked.

"Well I won't do anything to you. I've dealt with people like you in the past and all I can really say is, good luck. You're gonna need it." Jeanna then slowly got up out the chair and walked out the room, leaving the door open.

"I knew she wasn't going to do anything. I need to get out of here..."

Suddenly Ali walked in the room and closed the door. She walked behind Midas, who was sitting in the chair silently "Hey you bastard. I really don't like doing this so I'd appreciate your cooperation."

"Another one of you women that think you can run shit.. Do your worse."

Ali sighed and put her hands on each sides of Midas' head.

"Sorry but you asked for this."

Screams and wailing of pain could be heard from inside the chamber. Jeanna walked down the hall, not wanting to witness one of the most brutal ways to get information out of someone. Cameras were temporarily disabled during this grueling process.

[Next Day, SGU Director's Office, 13:06]

Clout, Jerry, Eli, and Matty all stood in front of Jeanna's desk, awaiting for information about Midas.

"So, how'd it go..?" Clout asked first of course.

Jeanna sat on the desk, facing towards the four.

"Well he was uncooperative but that's to no one's surprise. Luckily, Ali was willing to help me out although I know how much of a toll it takes on her.."

Thr group stayed silent.

"BUT Midas will be admitted to a psych ward and will likely never be able to use his powers again."

They all switched their faces to extremely surprised and startled. Ithas happened before with like two or three criminals but then again, it doesn't happen that often.

"Nah bro LET ME KILL THAT NIGGA." Matty yelled out amongst the group.

Jeanna side-eyed him. "His life is basically already over, you know we don't be doing that. ANYWAYS..ahem. We finally know what the reason of the drug circulation. They are trying to destroy the Big Ben clock tower for some reason. Apparently though, we slightly delayed their mission by a few weeks by stopping Midas."

"So what you're saying is that whatever drug that was in possession of Midas has potential for destruction? It's good Eli destroyed it on accident then."

Jeanna sat on the desk and faced the group. "Well, I guess it's alright the drugs were destroyed but let's get to the point. Basically what I'm saying is that I will be sending you four on a top secret mission to London to gather information."

"LONDON?!"

"TEA?!"

"CRUMPETS?!"

"LESSS GOOOOOO!!!!"

The four cheerd and hopped around although this is rather important.

"Now listen, this mission is strictly for gathering information. I WILL be monitoring what you do over there so best believe I'll catch your stupidity." Jeanna pointed at them and squinted her eyes.

"Okay but what are we supposed to be looking for in specific? And more importantly aren't there Abnormal humans in the UK too?" Jerry asked amongst the group.

"Well, it's mostly hotspots of the world that have super powered people. For some reason, certain civilizations have a way higher concentration of Abnormals than others. For example, New York has almost 10x the amount of super powered people than Oklahoma. We still don't know the reason for this at all."

"I guess that kinda makes sense..? I'm assuming we're specifically looking for people that could be around the Big Ben."

"Precisely. Now listen, I won't be giving you your battle ready uniforms and we unfortunately don't have the money for a private jet. We'll have to do this the old fashioned way so bring at least a week's worth of clothes. Here are the plane tickets. We leave ASAP."

The four received their tickets and left Jeanna's office. They went back to their dorm rooms to start getting prepared for their trip with much haste. All of them put on their signature casual clothing, gathered their suitcases, and went into the parking lot, where a metallic black SUV waited for them. That was probably the car taking them to the airport.

The Airpods in Clout's ear beeped and a woman spoke.

"Alright boys, good luck and com back in one piece. I'll see you in a week." Jeanna said.
