Neon P.O.V
There's cells along the walls three high with stairs leading up to walkways that go to each cell, I feel Fade tense next to me and I look at her. She glances down at me "fear lines this room. Overwhelming fear." I squeeze her hand back and Jett looks at us "stick in twos. Look around for Zyanya and her sister."
We all agree and I head over to one of the cells with Fade behind me and a woman looks up from the ground at us and she jumps back. Her hair is braided, or a matted braid. Her eyes are a beautiful bright green, her clothes are ripped and torn and she has scars and cuts all over her. She has some muscle but she's thin almost sickly.
Her hands have metal completely covering them and their chained together. There looks to be dried blood on the ground and scratches all over her cell, she looks terrified with her eyes flicking between me and Fade. I kneel down and rest a hand on the bars "hey, it's alright, we aren't going to hurt you..."
I pull down my mask slightly and give her a soft smile "what is your name?" The girl seems to relax seeing my face "K-Kirra..." Fade kneels down and gives a soft wave. Kirra attempts to wave to us with her hands locked together and I pull my mask up and we stand and go to leave but we stop at the next cell.
There's a man in there are scorch marks on the walls. He looks at us and his eyes have a slight glow to them his hair is dark tipped with a fading out orange, he as well has a couple of scars but none as bad. All over the floor is burn marks and his hands are incased in metal, he doesn't look as scared as Kirra but he looks emotionless.
He opens his mouth but closes it and I tilt my head looking at him "Jamie." Is all he says and I'm confused at first before I point to him and he nods. "Fade, we won't leave these people right?" She looks at me and at Jamie and she shakes her head "no we won't. We may not get them now but we won't leave them."
I look at Jamie and he gives a nod. We continue until we find Zyanya, and she is in chains. Her arms are chained to the wall as well as her legs and even a chain on her neck, she looks beyond pissed and I look behind us and see a glass case with a very familiar girl. She's laying on the floor of the case with blood pooled around her.
If she's breathing, it's so little I can't tell. I look back to Fade "buzz the other two to get over here." She nods and dose so and I look back at Zyanya. She grumbles and growls under her breath pulling and tugging on the chains as they rub her skin raw and she quits before looking back at me.
"¡Te lo juro si vuelves a lastimarla!" I give her a questioning look, "uh Fade do you know Spanish..." She shakes her head when Sage and Jett come up next to us. Sage walks up resting her hand on the bar and pulls her mask down and Zyanya's eyes go wide. "What are you doing here??" She snaps but not in an aggressive tone when her face pales.
"Behind." Sage gives her a look and then us one right as we hear a thump and Jett is on the floor. We turn and they pick her up and start taking her away. Sage and Fade try to do something but their out just as quickly leaving me alone with these guys. They are covered in armor head to toe and there has to be at least ten of them.
They start closing in and none of them are holding anything that could possibly knock someone out that easily. I think quick dashing away from them and that's when I see people standing along the walkways aiming at me. I panic as rifles are pulled on me and I feel my skin burn as sparks start jumping around. "D-don't come any closer-" "Or what? You zap us? Or maybe you fry your friends." One guy moves to the front holding Fade in front of him like a shield so I give in raising my hands as I feel a sting and the world around me goes dark.
My eyes slowly open and my head is pounding. I look at where I am and I'm in a room, an interrogation room maybe? I don't see Sunwoo or Ling anywhere but I do see Hazal, she's tied to a chair with her hands encased like the others at a table. I try and stand only to find I'm also tied, I try and move my hands but I only feel a cold hard surface when I do, I can't really move in my chair with how tight everything is tied.
Hazal looks up at me and gives a sad look and I go to speak only finding I can't. I've been gagged. I roll my eyes and grumble and both of us look up hearing a door open and slam and a man covered in gear sits down placing a gun on the table facing me. "So.we can do this the easy way or hard way." His voice booms as he looks at Hazal and she rolls her eyes.
He ungags her and he sits down. "I'm going to ask you some questions.-" "could you be more polite about it? This situation is honestly pretty rude and some manners would be nice." She says smugly and this guy stares her down getting pissed before he sighs. "Fine. Can I ask you a question." "You just did." He looks like he just got ten times angrier.
"Then can I ask you another question!?" Hazal just shakes her head "ya just did" the man slams his hands on the table as Hazal sits still with a smug look and he gets inches from her face. "CAN I ASK YOU TWO QUESTIONS" him yelling makes me jump slightly and Hazal only shrugs "you just did though" "FUCKING WHEN" "just now" the man stands and grabs the table lifting it and throwing it on the wall.
"YOU RADIANTS ARE SO FUCKING ANNOYING I FUCKING QUIT." He stomps out of the room swinging the door open as we here one last thing before the door shuts "JUST THROW THEM IN THE CELL AND DEAL WITH THEM LATER." The door slams and it takes a minute but someone else walks in with a couple others, I watch them dart Hazal and untying her picking her up before darting me as well.
