Saving Her

T H I R T Y - F O U R

"Again!" Max called out.

Bethany was sweaty, dirty, and exhausted. Concentrating she pushed her mind towards Tina. Who had walls of steel. Finding a small weak spot Beth attacked. Berating Tina's mind with waves of power. Tina fell to her knees the wall of steel crumbling to pieces.

"I'm tapping out." Tina said falling back on her butt massaging her temples. "That was good Beth." She said breathlessly.

Beth nodded in acknowledgement. "Max?"

"Alright we will try once more with me, and then we'll call it quits for today."  

Bethany stared at Max concentrating hard. Never had she attempted to take control over him before. "Don't hesitate Bethany."

Pushing forward she connected with his walls, and immediately started berating them looking for a weak spot. When she couldn't find one she wasn't sure what to do.

Beth faltered, and Max's own powers knocked her back. "You're doing good Bethany, but you need to be doing better." Max sighed.

"You didn't have a weak spot like Tina. How do I break the walls when there isn't a weak spot?" Bethany groaned.

"Hey! I try to cover it." Tina pouted defending herself.

"If there isn't a weak spot you take down the walls by sheer force. Will power. Your own walls versus theirs."

"This is starting to sound impossible. What do I do when I can't break their walls?"

"Hope yours are stronger. It's been almost a week now. Your walls are almost good enough. It takes me awhile to break them. Make sure the deed is done before they do, but it won't be one person, and you won't have the time to concentrate. So that's for tomorrow, and the next day. Then we strike as for now we plan."

"Is it just us three?" Bethany said raising an eyebrow. "You made it sound as if everyone like us was in on it."

"Not everyone, but we have a few several up to par on the inside." Tina said starting a new fire. "The labs take up most of the building there's twenty seven in total. Special security is in each corner and door way. Safest way to sneak around is through the ventilation system."

"The recreational room is the biggest and most active room. Fiber glass walls for the doctor and his subordinates to watch our abilities. Our abilities are unable to go through the glass unfortunately making our attack difficult." Max interrupted.

"So what's the plan then?" Bethany asked taking a seat warming her hands by the fire looking over at the two.

"First thing we do is handle security. Which is considerably difficult even when in the vents. Some rooms, like Siwards, aren't accessible through the vents. Then there's the physical security. Those of us chipped on the doctors side guard the doctor and keep watch over us while we 'train'." Max said picking at his fingernails. "There's six in total. Three watch the operation and three watch the doctor. Taking them out as quickly as possible is the next step. After that we make sure that the buildings defenses don't get in the way of us and the doctor."

"How do we access his room?"

"The only room that has facial recognition is his room. We'll strike when he leaves, and make sure he's unable to re-enter." Tina commented poking at the fire some more watching the small flames flicker.

"Out loud this sounds easy, but don't think for a second this is gonna go without issues. Nobody knows how the defenses of the building work, or even what they are. They have never been set off, and I've tried to set them off myself. They might not even be there, but I have had a suspicion about the vents. They never have air going through them. Some of the rooms don't have vents."

"You don't know what will happen when the defenses go on? Or even if they will?"

"We were never able to access the blue prints, and the defenses have never gone on. It's the only fault in plan."

"A pretty big fault." Bethany scoffed.

"It took us months just to get the blue prints! This little setback will not stop our plans." Max yelled. "We have the advantage. We can get in undetected, and get past security. The defenses will not go off, all goes as planned, we won't have to worry about the defenses."

"Okay now what?" Bethany said laying back.

"We rest, and train more tomorrow."

Bethany nodded leaning against her arm for support. It'll be numb in the morning, but this isn't the movies no one magically has a makeshift pillow in their back pocket or in a bag they've had through the whole scene.

**unedited**
