~The day would pass, and the early morning clock for all participants would ring at 8 AM.~

Dem: "Come on, Jeremy, time to go."

Jeremy: "Ughhhhh, it's not time yet..."

Dem: She'd get up and get dressed. "It will be time soon."

~Jeremy would get dressed and then follow Dem out the door.~

Dem: "Save your energy." She'd teleport Jeremy and herself to the gym. "Now we wait for everyone to show up." She'd fidget with her hands nervously.

Jeremy: "You'll do great, don't worry."

Dem: "Thanks. Oh yeah, one more thing." She'd put up an invisible forcefield around the gym so nothing could be damaged. Then she'd make a mental list of all the things that needed to be discussed.

~The inmates would walk in one at a time.~

Dem: "Alright, let's get started. Does everyone know why they are here?"

~All the inmates would nod.~

~The Warden would walk in with a switch in his hand.~

Warden: "Now, when I flip this switch, everyone within this room will have control of their powers..okay? And I trust every single one of you not to abuse that power. If that happens, I will have no choice but to maximize the grip it has over you. So listen to every word she says. I will stand here for an hour, and after that, I will come in and do check-ups now and then. Is this crystal clear?"

~All the inmates would nod.~

~The Warden would flip the switch and stand in the far corner, closing the entrance door of the gym so nobody disturbs.~

Dem: "This training will take you through hell and back. You will learn to regain control of your powers, overcome the hold of the chip on you, and how to continue to use your powers even when you are at your limit. Now each of you has an extraordinary power that will be used to help shape the course of history. No matter what corpo you are drafted into, you will have the power to survive and save others. Medkits, snacks, and drinks will be provided. But for now, we will start with you all sharing what powers you have."

Rob: "Who goes first?"

Dem: "I'll start."

~The inmates would sit and watch.~

Dem: "My powers, from what I have experienced anyway are, teleportation, forcefields, hacking, invisibility, fire, healing, and the ability to come back from the dead."

Layla: "Just say your immortal girl..."

Dem: "I am not."

Layla: "So what do you call 'having the ability to come back from the dead?'"

Dem: She'd pause. "Well...I'll let you in on a little secret." She'd take off her necklace and hold it up. "This thing here is what keeps me alive. I cannot give out much more information because that is classified." She'd put her necklace back on.

Layla: "Okay..." She'd walk up. "So I can levitate..but not that high up. I can maybe get quite a few feet into the air and go wherever I want and shoot like diamond-shaped laser stuff out of my hand." She'd flip her hair and go back to her seat.

Dem: "Fascinating. Next!"

~Rob would come up and say he could turn into a liquid and use it to escape bad situations.~
