After being in the helicopter for a total of ten minutes, Nova's vision instantly blacked out. And within the time span of another ten minutes, her vision was given right back to her. And this time, she was inside a building.

She was confused on where she was at, at first. But, she heard a tiny voice in her head, that whispered, "WICKED". And at that moment, she had the aching feeling on where she was at, and she knew she didn't want to be there. But, what other choice did she have?

She traveled through the slim hallways, as it took her through twisted turns and straight lines. Each turn she took, the hallway seems to get bigger and bigger.

Until she reached a gigantic door on the very end, the door had the word 'Wicked' written in big yellow letters. She ignored the word that seemed to be everywhere, opened the door, and walked right through, straight into the room that was hiding behind it.

As the door closed behind her, Nova stared at the many faces of people. People that looked familiar, but at the same time, she had no clue who they were.

Nova walked around the place, entering a room that had it's light on. Seeing that Avery was in the room, sitting in a chair. Avery - still being fourteen-years-old - read a book with bumps, it was braille.

Nova flinched as the door opened again, revealing another female. She seemed to be the same age as Avery, wearing a blue shirt with ragged jeans. Though, this girl seemed to have short hair, shorter than most girls she has seen, so far.

"Hey Avery," The girl smiled, sitting down across from Nova's younger self. Placing her feet on the table, as well.

"Hey, Brenda." Avery smiled back, continuing to read her book.

Avery sensed the girl's - also known as Brenda - feet on the table, and added, "You know how my mother would feel with your feet on her tables."

Brenda snickered, "Yeah, but-"

"But you don't care, I know, I've heard." Avery cut her off with a sigh.

"Anyway," Brenda moved on with more conversation. "What are ya reading?"

"Well," Avery started. "My mother wants me to learn their ways, so she's having me study all about Wicked, and..." She paused. "... Yeah."

"Boring." Brenda groaned.

Nova's eyes flashed before her eyes, as her vision was clear for a second time, and this time, she was in the same building but a completely different room. Her memories got shorter each time she went further in, it was as if the sting of that Griever was finally wearing off. She had to get through everything as quickly as possible, she wanted to know everything about her memories. And she wasn't about to leave, until she did so.
