Chapter 7: Prison Break

——————————🕷️——————————

"There's nothing mad about what I'm doing." Judi told him, pointing a gun at them. "Fairburn works for me. I recruited her to be the public face of the institution and continue my father's work."

Wednesday's eyes widened slightly. "You're Augustus Stonehurst's daughter. That's how you knew about the secret passages at Nevermore. You must have used them to visit your aviary in Iago Tower."

She nodded. "I have very fond memories of my father's time at Nevermore. He loved Outcasts."

(Y/n) glanced around the room. "Evidence to the contrary..."

"He wanted to be one. Imagine being able to extract their abilities and share it with Normies."

"You mean steal them and exploit them." Wednesday accused. "This is a basement bargain attempt at Dr. Moreau."

Judi chuckled. "I did more than just attempt. I am living proof. I was born a Normie, and thanks to my father's work, my beautiful black-winged friends obey my every whim."

Fester shook his head. "Experimenting on his own daughter. That's twisted. Even by my own sick standards."

Judi held up a finger. "Ah! I volunteered! My father and I were a team. He needed a subject, I wanted to be part of his legacy."

"You're insane." (Y/n) told her.

Judi raised her brows. "I'm surprised you think so. I've heard about you, the only Normie student at Nevermore. I could make you an Outcast. You could finally fit in with your peers."

"So she can lose her mind like your father?" Wednesday pointed out.

"He wanted to be a DaVinci, but his body couldn't take it." Judi explained.

"Well, if you can't bring Icarus to the sun, bring the sun to Icarus. Right, Fester?"

Fester brought his hand out and sent a strong blast of lightening throughout the room, knocking them all back. Unfortunately, the blast also fried the electrical system of the whole hospital...

...

"What the hell just happened?" Agnes asked, watching the gate lights short out.

"Wednesday happened." Enid deduced. "We need to call Sheriff Santiago."

...

The power outage unlocked all of the doors to the living experiments rooms, and they all stumbled out and began trying to attack Judi and began running up the stairs.

Wednesday helped (Y/n) up from the floor and checked her over. "Are you alright, Cara Mia?"

She nodded. "Yes, I think so."

"As much as I wanna watch them pluck her feathers, we gotta vamoose." Fester insisted.

Wednesday looked to the side and saw the woman in the white dress staring at him. "You go. Take (Y/n) with you, and get her to safety. I owe you one, Uncle Fester."

"Are you kidding me? We just liberated our first asylum! I live for days like this." Fester grinned.

Wednesday wrapped his arm around the woman's shoulder. "I'm getting you out of here."
