Dark Matter

26

The men who work for the Academy couldn't take her off the moon base just yet. They were instructed to find out what happened to her during her time away from them, and who knows about her abilities. They were also instructed to take out anyone who knows about her abilities. So, the men were given space and time to find the information and were left alone with Seven in a small room. They had equipment sent to the prison before they arrived, so they were prepared to get the answers. The two men quickly put Seven into a chair and strapped her in tightly. They can't take any chances of escape. 

They prepared the other equipment, and they nodded once they were ready to begin. One man put a headband-like object on her head, with a strap going across her forehead. The other man prepared the needle. Once he was finished, he stuck the needle through a port in the headband, and into Seven's head.

The pain and reaction to the needle being forced into her head caused Seven to immediately wake up and scream in pain. All the information she had been able to block out before, and even things she couldn't know, began flooding into her head, and she couldn't do anything about it. 

The men looked at each other. It worked. 

Because information is flowing into Seven, they're also able to take information out for her mind is now open. 

...

It had been over an hour, and the men were struggling to get the information they needed. So far, they had only gotten random gibberish and things that had nothing to do with what they needed. They were beginning to get frustrated.

Seven had been in unimaginable pain but said the pain had started to diminish. Or she was at least able to get used to it. She knows what they're after, and she's trying her hardest to not let them know. She doesn't want her friends to be killed because they know about her powers. For a brief moment, Seven spotted a pen inside one of the men's jackets. If she wants to escape, she's going to have to get it. 

Seven began to frustrate the men more with more gibberish and nonsense, causing the one with the pen to try to adjust the settings on the headband. He got close enough to her that she was able to grab the pen and slip it up her sleeve. However, with the adjusted settings, she was no longer able to control what left her mind, and it only took minutes for the men to get the information they needed. 

Once they had it, they said the phrase that had been programmed into her, and she fell unconscious once more.

...

Seven began to stir, and as she woke, she realized that the two men were dragging her down a hallway of the prison. Her friends are escaping at this moment, they're all headed towards the Raza (which happened to be docked at the prison for it to be searched) and would be gone in a matter of minutes. 

If she is to escape, she has to do it now. 

As Seven pretends to be unconscious, she slips the pen into her hand and gets ready. Then she begins. 

Seven pushes her feet off the floor and swings her legs over her head. Startled, the two men release her from their grip. Once Seven lands she punches the first man in the face, breaking his nose, and kicks the second one in the chest, pushing him away from her. Then, before the first man can react, Seven hits him across the face and stabs him in the neck with his pen. He collapses onto the ground gasping for breath, bleeding out. The second man gathers his bearings and lunges for Seven. Seven sidesteps him and quickly grabs the gun from the now-dead man on the floor. Seven shoots the man who is still standing three times as he begins to say the programmed words. But instead of what he was hoping for, he falls to the ground dead. 

Seven lets out a breath and smiles slightly in victory. She's out of the blue men's custody, now she just has to get through the prison undetected, while covered in blood, and get to her friends. She stumbles for a moment and clutches her head in pain. She has to try to block out everything, but it's hard since her mind is now open to everything. 

Seven takes a deep breath and starts walking in the direction of the Raza. 

She is very close now. The next left turn and the airlock doors to the Raza will be right in front of her. The only problem is that a GA officer is holding a gun to Two and Six. Well, she can take care of him, she does have her gun and the element of surprise. 

So, Seven holds out her arm and points the gun at the GA guard, shooting him in the back of the head. Seven wasn't even looking. She just stretched her arm out from the wall, and before she turned into the hallway, she shot him. 

The only problem is that at the same moment, she let out a shot, and the guard shot Six in the stomach. 

So, not only is the GA guard lying dead on the floor, but Six lies injured as well. 

Two crouches down next to Six and Three watches. The two of them turn to look at Seven. "How did you do that?" Three asks.

Seven smirks slightly and as she walks past them and into the airlock she says, "No power in the verse can stop me."

Seven enters the ship and once she does, everyone turns to look at her. Most of them are surprised because she's covered in blood and is holding a gun. But, Five is happy. Of course, she's worried about her friend because she's got blood spatter all over her, but she's happy that she's alright. So, Five runs up to her and engulfs her in a big hug. 

"I'm so glad that you're ok."

Seven gingerly returns the hug, but then the pain comes back. She immediately backs away from Five and gasps in pain. She drops the gun, and as it clatters to the floor, Seven clutches her head in pain. Five goes up to her worriedly and that's when she notices the blood dripping from her forehead.

"Oh my gosh, Seven, what happened to your head?"

"They took it, they took all of it."

"What?"

"It's ok, they're dead now."

Five shares a worried look with Four. "Seven, what happened?"

...

Seven ended up sedated. But by the time she had woken up, things had changed. They had left the prison's orbit, Six had been put into status until a proper surgery could happen, the crew found out that One had been murdered, and the doctor (who was a prisoner who escaped with them) had sealed the hole in her head. By the time she would woke, everything would be quiet. Although she was practically back to normal, things had changed for her. It would be easier to hear things, to know things now, and Seven was unsure of how to feel.
