The Insane 3

The test

A white hospital room, large with eight beds placed evenly across the room. There are metal rods above and around the beds, the curtains on them shoved to the wall for visibility.
IV poles are clustered in a corner, no blood packets stringed on them. Four individuals stand within the room, one wearing a long white doctor's jacket while the others wear comfortable sweaters and clothing.
(LUCY enters the room, walking towards MARKUS, RALPH, and VICTORIA. She sits down on a bed talking to the three people.)

LUCY: Ah, hello! Hello hello, my dears! Are you the ones here for the checkup?

RALPH: Yes. I saw no point in it, but our lawyer demanded we have one.

VICTORIA: This is so pointless, I'm perfectly fine!

MARKUS: Yes yes, we know, but we still need to do it! It's for the trial, after all, and we want to have the best chance at winning!

VICTORIA: Whatever...

LUCY: Well then, I'll need to ask a few questions first! Let's just start off with name and gender— I already have the papers here, but it's just to confirm, after all!

MARKUS: Well, I'm Markus Anderson, male! This grump to my left is my brother, Ralph Anderson! And then, to my right, we have—

VICTORIA: I can introduce myself on my own very well, thanks. I'm Victoria Newman, a full-grown woman, unlike these brats.

(LUCY checks her papers, nodding to herself before shutting the folder.)

LUCY: Well then, now that I've confirmed everything, I need you to answer these questions! First things first, why are you here?

RALPH: I thought this was a doctor's checkup.

LUCY: It is, yes, I want to get to know you better!

MARKUS: Oh, okay! We're here to get some legal information, and then hopefully to get permission to use our super powers in public. It's not specified anywhere that we can't, but we would rather not use them anywhere without something to make us legal.

LUCY: I've heard of these superpowers, you keep mentioning them. Other people keep thinking of them as a sign of mental illness, but I just want to see them in action to confi—

(VICTORIA sighs and snaps her fingers twice, the lights turning off and then back on respectively per snap.)

VICTORIA: You talk too much Markus, and yes we all have powers. Can we get to whatever you want to talk about now?

LUCY: Yes yes, well, my second question for you is--

RALPH: Hold on, why do you seem familiar?

LUCY: I'm sorry...? I have no idea what you're talking about.

MARKUS: Lie! That's a lie! Your heart started beating faster!

LUCY: Is this another part of your powers I wasn't aware of?

MARKUS: I can sense vibrations in the air and hear basically everything-- but that's irrelevant, because you were lying! How do you know us?

LUCY: Then you must have it wrong; I'm not lying in the slightest.

RALPH: Still lying. Same thing as Markus, vibrations through the ground.

VICTORIA: Brats as they are, they're still slightly trustable. Who are you?

LUCY: I- I have no idea what you mean.

RALPH: Must I threaten the information out of you? We've only talked to the hospital staff, our lawyer, and the person that was keeping us...

MARKUS: ...captive.

.....

...What are you waiting for go to the next chapter

. Fine here's the next part

(LUCY's demeanor changes entirely here, switching out a nervous disposition for a smooth and more threatening one.)

LUCY: So you've figured me out. What I need you to do is go back, as there's no place for you here. Your powers have improved quite nicely from this little excursion, but it's time to return to the lab.

RALPH: No. We've escaped from you once before, and we refuse to go back no matter how much you want us to.

LUCY: Darlings, you're not being given a choice. You're coming back, whether you like it or not. Your canceling bracelets are all ready for you, you know.

MARKUS: We're not going to let you.

LUCY: Sure, sure, whatever you say. Conner dear, if you would?

CONNER: Of course, madam.

[CONNER steps out of the greenroom and presses a button on a phone. Invisible gas seeps into the room. MARKUS notices immediately, but gets slapped unconscious by LUCY.]

LUCY: That was a pity. I thought they would show off more of their skills. Ah well, that's something to dissect later in the lab. Come along Conner, we have things to prepare.

[CONNER slips bracelets on MARKUS, VICTORIA, and RALPH, and drags away the three asleep individuals by their hands.]
