Shades of Gray

Maggi

The rest of the week flew by quite quickly for Maggi. She was getting restless, though. She knew that if she didn't get answers from Sabrina soon she would explode. She had sent a letter saying that she would visit Sabrina as soon as it was considered "not suspicious". Taking a deep breath, she approached her brother. He had been hovering around her lately. It was almost like he was waiting for her to reveal that she was involved. 
"Umm, Jake? I wanted to ask you a favor." He turned to face her, his hands filled with a bag a chips. 
"I guess, depending on what it is, of course." She nodded. 
"I just wanted to see if you could, maybe, help me see Sabrina. I just need to know if she is ok. Maybe she would talk to me." She averted her eyes and he sighed. 
"I mean, we've tried almost everything else, maybe if we bring in a trusted friend of her's, then she'll crack." He seemed to light up with the words. They seemed to make something in his mind click together. "I will see what I can do. I am good friends with the person in charge." Maggi smiled. 
"Thank you, I mean it." Her smile was only a farce. On the inside, her mind was turning. She was coming up with a plan of how she would get a message through to her without giving the police any indication that she is involved. She hoped that Sabrina would be able to answer her questions, for the sake of appearances, but at the same time have a secret conversation. Their code worked on paper, not in words. She stalked away from her brother and out the door. She decided once she was outside that she would go to their base. It would help her think things through in a environment associated with Sabrina. It always seemed to help her keep her thoughts in a practical and calculating manner. If she could first get an idea out to Sabrina of what was going to happen, then that would be ideal. When she arrived, she grabbed a pen and notebook out of a pocket in a beanbag and started brainstorming. Numbers corresponding to alphabet letters? Words that start with letters making out a secret message? She could use their code, it just wasn't as easy to disguise in a watched room. She could bring a piece of paper with her, use their code all while pretending to have lost her voice. She smiled at that last one. It was easy to fake that. Just spend the days leading up to the visit pretending to have a cold eventually leading to her losing her voice. She circled that option on paper. It was easy and not suspicious. Writing in code was easy. Sabrina could just yes or no the questions. She set down the paper and reclined in the beanbag. She shut her eyes. Hanging out with Dan and Henry was exhausting. She was not a people person. She could just make them forget her again. She grinned at the idea. It was appealing, but it wasn't what was best for Sabrina and, most of all, best for herself. If she made them forget her, then she'd have to start from scratch. Befriending them was just phase on in her plan. She had already located and researched everyone in their city with superpowers. She could bribe anyone of them into becoming a supervillain temporarily while she gained their trust. It would be difficult, however, it might be worth it. She pulled out her phone and got on the notes app. 

Samuel Hanora : Time warp (can rewind and fast forward time; can see the future) 
Weakness : After using his power, he will lose consciousness anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds
Has entomophobia (fear of insects)
Kadence Loid : Can control the element of fire
Weakness : The fire is only as strong as her anger (If you make her laugh she can't use her power)
Has Acrophobia ( fear of heights)
Norma Nigh : Shadow walker (Can move through, hide in, and control the shadows of anything)
Weakness : If she loses concentration when in the shadows, she will no longer be unseen
Has eremophobia (fear of being alone)

These were her top choices. Their powers were strong and villain worthy and their weaknesses weren't too severe. She can take control of all of these people as they are all teenagers with a need for something more in their lives. Samuel craved attention, at any cost. Kadence, she wanted reassurance and affirmations that she is doing what is best. Norma wants someone to care for her. Maggi could complete any of those with ease. She also needed those things, she just didn't post about it on the internet. She scanned her room. Most of the kids went to the other highschool in town. Kadence went to hers. She would talk to her first. If she could get all of them to agree, then she would have a group of villains. Maybe she would tell them that they were fighting the injustices of Henry's rise to power. She smiled at her own genius. She turned her phone off and dropped it to the side. She needed to turn her mind off. Maybe she would go out tonight. She didn't have anyone to go with, unless she wanted to go with Dan and Henry. Her brain paused on that. Maybe she would. It was a Friday after all. She grabbed her phone again. She took a breath and pulled up the empty contact that was Dan.
