The Creatures: B-Team {Fan-Fic}

Chapter 4: From The Ground Up

Sly opened his eyes to a concrete ceiling. He looked to his left and saw the iron bars, confirming he was in a prison, then looked to his left to see Ze. His knees were up and his face down with closed eyes, but Sly just had that feeling he was awake.

"Ze, you awake?" He asked.

"Mmhm." He replied, head still down.

"Are... you okay?"

"The girl that attacked us, her name is Cierra Grey, better known as Sapphire. She's the worlds greatest assassin even though she's blind. Well, she was blind." Ze replied looking up at Sly with colorless eyes. "The bitch took my sight, traded it out for her own."

"So you can't see?" He asked.

"Not a thing." Ze replied."Which means I can't use my powers."

"Do you know if you can get it back?"

"Yeah. This isn't the first time she's done it to me. She used to be one of us, but I don't know what happened. One day she just... changed. Nova and her used to date and they loved each other to death. After she become a trader Nova truly learned what his powers could do."

"Wow. Where is Nova anyways? Shouldn't he have broken out by know? He usually does."

"Not this time." A woman answered.

They looked up to see Sapphire standing on the other side of the bars. She looked pissed or displeased. They couldn't tell which one.

"He's in a deep sleep, one he won't be walking from in a while."

"Damn." Sly hung his head. "We'll find a way out. We always do and when we do, you'll regret all this."

She shook her head and looked down at the ground. "I already do."

Sapphire looked to the cell behind her where Spoon and Nova were both still out cold.

Ze sighed. "You still love Nova?"

"Never stopped." She replied.

"Then why'd you backstab us like this?"

"You wouldn't understand." She looked down to her buzzing phone. "I gotta go. I'll try to help you guys out a little with food and stuff, but no promises."

Sapphire took off and just as she turned the corner, Spoon started to stir. He groaned and went to rub the back of his neck when he realized he had a collar on. Not a normal collar; one that would keep him from changing.

"What the hell happened?" He asked looking across the hall to Sly.

"We were attacked." He replied. "Nova's basically in a coma, Ze's blind, you can't change and I'm single. We don't know what happened to Kootra and Danz, or Seamus."

"You're single?" Ze asked.

"Yeah." Sly sighed. "I was dumbed via text about two seconds before that bitch came."

"Well this is just great." Spoon moaned.

Meanwhile, in a dark room the man that has now trapped the worlds best team, stands over his computer angered. "Why is Seamus not in one of those cells Cierra?!" He demanded hitting his hand on his desk.

"You... you said not to worry about him." She replied, backing up.

"Go. Get him." He commanded.

"Yes Sir." She spoke with terror in her voice.  

Seamus' house laid in ruins. The rest of the city had gone to shit years ago and Seamus took up residency because he knew no one ever comes there. That was, until last night. He was sore and had blacked out, but he still won. He coughed as he pulled himself up. There was debris everywhere. Smoke and ash fogged up the once forgotten town. Somehow, thank God, his phone survived. Seamus picked it up and wiped the dust from the screen. He found the right number and let it ring.
