Chapter 24: What's going on?

**Hannah's POV**

I woke up on a Friday morning at four o'clock AM. Nothing was awake at all in town, or at least it seemed that way. My sleep was interrupted by my thoughts, no, not by Skylar's snores (I've grown used to those). I guess Amanda isn't the only one that has trouble getting some sleep around here. Well, every night I cannot sleep without raiding thoughts of either getting attacked yet again by villains, my friends getting hurt, me actually being a villain, or something that has to do with Chase, or losing my superpowers, not being excepted. Or most importantly: my family. So far, there haven't been any hints on where our families are. Every second I think of them I receive a pang of guilt, sometimes I don't stop thinking about it for hours upon hours, but always in private. After not being able to get some rest, I decide to get ready for the day. Eventually: Shower-done, changed-done, and hair-done. All set. Downstairs it is still extremely silent except the cars in the city, but in the penthouse there is no noise. I turn the lights on dim and sit at the couch to read my book, Prodigy, it's really good! I love Day and June together!

Suddenly the TV starts to flicker on and off making buzzing noises the whole way. I finally shut my book in annoyance and check out the TV. Before I could stand up, two figures appear on the screen. Roman and Riker. Of course. They had to have hacked the system.

"Hello, fellow superheroes." One of them says. I have to stop myself from laughing at the stupid way he greets us, well the stupid way he greets me. But then remembering that they have my family just brings the bad mood back.

"We've decided that because you won't make the right move anytime soon by giving us the superheroes list, we will move first." The other one, I think Roman, says. I want to know what they mean, yet I really don't. I continue to listen to them talk, now curiously stand up watching the screen. Within seconds I could hear footsteps come from upstairs and heading downstairs. I don't bother to see who's come down.

"You might want to come and save your precious family..." They look at each other with a smirk, "Before it's too late." Anger bursts throughout my every pore, it seems like you could actually feel it coming through me. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked at Amanda standing next to me also angry, Chase behind me putting his hand on my shoulder.

"If you have the guts to save your family, they are exactly where we had you not too long ago. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we will be expecting you." The screen switches from the guys to a group of eight people all huddled together in a cell, all of them looking gaunt and ill. It took a minute for me to recognize that those people were Amanda and my parents. I walk away from the TV when it shuts down.

"What are you doing?" Chase asks me as I walk to the door.

"Saving my family." I tell him like it had been the most obvious thing ever. It was a little stupid of a question.

"No. That's exactly what they want, for you to walk right into their hands. To make it easier to capture you." Chase disagrees.

"Oh great, not this all over again." Bree face palms herself.

"Didn't you just hear them? They said that this was our last chance to save them before they did something. And guess what? I am not gonna just sit here and let that happen." I explained.

"We aren't going to let you go. If you just left, then you will not end up saving them, you'll just get caught with them." Chase argues.

"I'll think of a plan on my way there. I'm not gonna just sit here while they kill my family!" I shouted.

"I'm not gonna just sit here and watch you leave!" Chase shoots back. Everybody else just watched the fiasco. I just grabbed my coat off of the hook it sat on.
