I was in a room with padded walls.
It was like a room you would see in a mental asylum. Attached to my arm was one of those water bags, and a heart rate monitor. I unhooked the machines, stood up dizzily, and tried opening the door.
"Locked, of course." I mumbled. I walked back to the bed I was lying on, and sat down. I waited for about 5 minutes. In that time, I walked around the room, looking for another exit. There were no windows, nor any tears or breaks in the walls, so there was truly no way out, other than the locked door.
As I was searching, I heard a clicking, and the door opened. Matt walked through the door and looked at me for a few seconds, then turned around and shut the door. "What the hell, Matt? Is Jack okay? Where is he? Where am I? What is going on?" I said angrily. Matt laughed and said happily, "Enjoying your accommodations? Jack is fine, he's in the room beside you, you two can see eachother in a few moments." I tried getting into Matt's head, see what he was thinking, but it just gave me a headache, and I guess Matt knew it would. "Don't strain yourself dear. We gave you some of those... heart pills." Matt said and laughed.
I wanted so badly to run out of the room, or scream, or anything, but I knew that I needed to be on Matt's good side. "Hey Matt?" I asked. Matt turned around quizzically. "Can I see Jack now please?" I asked. Matt's smile widened. "Of course." He said and brought me to Jack's room. As we walked out of my room, I saw that we were in some sort of testing lab.
When we reached Jack's room and walked in, jack was sitting on his bed, his machines unhooked aswell, head in his hands. "Visitor!" Matt yelled. Jack shot up and stared at me. "I'll leave you two alone." Matt smirked, walked out, and locked the door.
I ran into Jack's arms and we fell to the floor, but that was okay, we didn't care. For at least 10 minutes, Jack held me in his arms as the both of us cried softly. We then stood up, and he hugged me again. "What are we going to do?" I whimpered as he held me tighter. "We will find a way out, I promise." Jack said softly, it was obvious he was being as strong as he could for me.
"Did they hurt you?" Jack asked as he pulled away and checked for wounds of any kind. "No, did they hurt you?" I asked. Jack shook his head. "No." he said and we sat on his bed. We sat in silence for a few moments, my head rested on his shoulder. "Did they take away your ability too?" Jack asked me. "Yeah" I said quietly.
We then fell back into silence.
"I'm sorry" Jack said a few minutes later.
I sat up and looked at him. "What?" I asked. "I'm sorry for what has happened to you. I promised myself to watch out for you, but I've failed you." Jack said softly and placed his head back in his hands. I placed my hand on his shoulder, he looked over at me again.
We then heard a click, and the door opened. We both stood as Matt walked in with two large men. Matt then said happily. "Alright Nova, time to go now." Jack stepped in front of me. "Why can't she stay longer?" Jack then asked. Matt nodded at one of the men, and said, "She must go for testing."
My eyes widened as one man pushed Jack into the wall. Jack groaned as the two large men then walked towards me and grabbed my arms. That's when I lost it. I thrashed my arms all around and screamed so loud my throat hurt. Then men struggled to keep their grasp on my arms.
Jack then got up and socked the man on my left in the stomach. The man fell to the ground. Both Jack and I then knocked over the one grabbing my right arm. Jack ran up to Matt and slammed him into a wall, knocking him unconscious.
Jack then grabbed my hand and we ran out of the room.
