A grunt that came from Ray,

"w-what happened? Why am I tied up?" he asked, a confused expression on his face,

"we'll tell you later, just tell me what you think of when I mention kid danger?" shwas asked. "he's my sidekick slash best friend, he's a good kid. And he's like a son to me..." Ray said hesitantly, still not getting why we tied him up or why he was asked these questions.

"Do you want to hurt him?" Jasper asked.

"What? no, why would I do that!" Ray said confused,

"Is he okay?" Ray asked, worry lining his voice.

"If you want us to be honest, he's not..." shwas said, as he untied ray.

"What happened?!" Ray yelled concerned, as he stood up,

"Well... you happened" I said, we all moved aside revealing the med table henry laid on, "henry..." Ray whispered and walk over to him.

"What did I do?" Ray said.

"what's the last thing you remember?" I asked,

"Twittler injecting me with some weird green liquid, I remember...pain, yes, a lot of that, I wanted to die...twittler was saying, 'When all this pain is over, you're going to kill kid danger' but I refused, that's all I remember." Ray said, he was staring down at Henry,

"Kid, I'm sorry, whatever I did, I'm sorry." Ray whispered.

We explained what happened to Ray, his face grew guiltier and paler with every word we said, and by the time we were done, henry still hadn't woken up.

"Ray, it's not your fault!" jasper said,

"You know it is, I did this to him, I hurt him."

"You were brainwashed Ray!" Shwas said.

"That doesn't make a difference..." Ray replied, putting his face in his hands his voice full of sadness and regret.

"It makes all the difference, Ray, you had no control, you weren't you! you don't even remember anything! They literally drove you out of you own mind!" I said, grabbing Rays hand, reveling half of his tear-stained face, I didn't how to comfort him, but I sure would try.

"This is not your fault, it's going to be okay, he's going to be okay." I said with a sympathetic smile,

Ray nodded, giving me a fake smile, but tears still ran down his cheek. Me shwas and jasper gave him a hug; he was crying in my shoulder, in his funny and stupid way of crying.

A few hours later

Ray POV

We were sitting on the U-shaped Couch. Waiting.

I'm happy charlotte, shwas and jasper don't blame me, but how am I meant to forgive myself, I almost killed my best friend! He's like a son to me, and I'm the reason why he's like this, who knows if he's going to wake up, no matter what shwas says, we still don't know, he might never wake up and it will be my fault, no matter what others say, all this is because I gave up, let them take over!

I felt so worried about henry, I didn't want this to happen, he didn't deserve this, all this pain, he just a kid...

A groan arose from where Henry was, he was waking up! we all ran to his side,

"Henry Wake up!" jasper yelled, making us all jump.

"Hen...wake up, come on now." charlotte whispered.

His eyes opened as he gave little cry of pain, though, he looked like he was stifling a scream. Then my eyes meet his, he practically jumped off the med table at the sight of me, a movement that made him stager back out of pure pain, almost losing his balance, I moved towards him in case he fell, but he backed up.

"Ray..." he said cautiously, his voice weak, but he wasn't letting his guard down.

"Henry...I'm not going to hurt you..." I said.

"Yes, he's not going to hurt you. Ray was brainwashed by Drex and twittler, he's fine now." Shwas reassured,

Henry relaxed a little.

"I'm sorry henry, I'm so, so sorry. I didn't want too; I didn't mean to, this is all my fault—" I was about to continue apologizing but Henry cut me off,

"it's okay buddy, it's not your fault, you weren't in control" he said with the biggest smile he could muster through all the pain he was probably feeling,

"Henry, please, sit back down, or you're going to hurt yourself more" charlotte said.

He started walking to the U-shaped couch but lost balance halfway through, but I was close enough to grab his arm before he fell, I guided him back to the med table, suggesting that he should rest,

"I don't want to." Henry said, standing In front of the med table, he was being stubborn, something he did a lot when he was in pain, but still had some energy to argue.

"I think you should, you look tired..." Charlotte said, her face filled with worry,

Henry groaned in reply,

"You're going to be fine in a few hours, you do have super healing, it will be faster if you rest" Shwas said,

"I—" Henry cut himself off with a loud yelp, he held his stomach, where he was shot, tears in his eyes. He quickly sat down, I sat next to him and rubbed his back, trying to help him endure the pain, second later he fell unconscious again, slump against me.

"Henry?" I said, looking at him, concerned, I tapped his cheek trying to see if he'd wake up. Nothing. I quickly grabbed his hand and checked for pulse. Thankfully he had one.

"It's okay, just the pain. Hopefully when he wakes up again, he'll feel no pain thanks to his super healing." Shwas said reassuringly.

"What are we going to do?" charlotte.

"About?" Jasper asked.

"About Drex and twittler?! They can't just escape."

"And they won't" I said, as I grabbed my gum Tube and stood up.

"Wait. What are you going to do?" charlotte asked me,

"I'm going to go find Drex and twittler."
