Cry threw a folder on the coffee table, collapsing onto the couch. Jack frowned, leaning forward to pick it up. He opened it, taking out the two files within. "Cry", he said slowly. "What the hell are these?" Cry sighed wearily. "We need to replace our fallen teammates." There was silence for a moment before Matthew spoke. "Replace?" he said quietly, his anger growing. "They are - were - people. And you want to replace them. Like objects."

"Matthew I won't argue with you over this", Cry said. "But Mr Vincent insisted." "And you let him?!" Matthew exclaimed. "Matthew we hate it too but shut up and let us get through it", Jack groaned. Matthew crossed his arms, frowning, and sank back deeper into the couch. Jack pulled out the first file. "Satbani, also known as Bonnie. She's an animus, she can enchant anything she wants but it will take away part of her soul. Huh. It's like a Horcrux. Like from Harry Potter? Uh anyways, she seems pretty up for it."

Jack grabbed the other file. "And this one is... Peepachu? Am I saying that right?" He looked at Cry, who nodded. "Alright then. He has the power to control... life and... and death... what?" "He can bring people back to life? Really?" Matthew exclaimed, jumping up from his chair.

A/N: Matthew my poor cinnamon roll, don't get your hopes up.

"Yeah actually", Jack said, reading through the file. "He looks a bit weird though. He has yellow hair, his skin looks yellow and apparently always wears a yellow jumper with rabbit ears on the hood which he never takes off his head. And are those... black color contacts? Sweet! He has a black dot on his nose and apparently all he says is 'Peepa!'. I don't know how we're supposed to understand him but he seems pretty cool."

"So we'll bring them in?" Cry asked. "Yeah", Jack said. "Matthew... when Peepachu comes... don't pester him ok? We know you miss her. We miss her and Dan too. But don't hurt the lad ok?" Cry said, concerned. Matthew nodded, unspeaking. They could see the grief in his eyes but didn't mention it. They were all hurting inside.

The new members of the Curatrix stood before Mark, a boy and a girl. The boy was small but kind of unnerving. He stood there silently, his grey eyes against his dark skin making him look almost terrifying. The girl was about the same size as him but kept shifting from foot to foot, blue eyes sparkling with mischief. She didn't look very impressive, dressed in an old tracksuit and hoodie, but Mark knew she was powerful. They both were.

"Andrew", Matthias said, entering the room. "Knave. Good to see you both." He shook both of their hands, Knave refusing to take her hands out of her sleeves. "May I ask again what your powers are?" "Lightning", Andrew said quietly. "Manipulating emotions", Knave grinned evilly. Mark was suddenly afraid. Very afraid. Matthias scribbled something down in a notepad then nodded and looked up again.

"Both of you have been accepted into the Curatrix. Your suits are with the others'." Andrew nodded solemnly and Knave grinned excitedly. This, Mark thought, was going to be fun.

Satbani and Peepachu arrived the next day. "Satbani", Cry nodded, shaking their hands. "Peepachu." "Peepa", Peepachu said happily. Cry glanced bemusedly at the boy before turning around and calling for Matthew and Jack. The two appeared from a doorway. "Hi", Jack said. "I'm Jack." "That's Matthew." Matthew gave a little wave and a small smile.

"Satbani", Satbani introduces herself. "But I also go as Bonnie." "Peepa!" said Peepachu. "Peepa peepa peepa", Matthew replied. The others stared at him. "What?" he asked. "You can understand him?" Bonnie asked. "I was awkwardly trying to avoid conversation on the way over because I sure as heck couldn't!"

Matthew shrugged. "Peepa peepa peepa. Peepa?" "Peepa", shrugged Peepachu. "Peepa peepa peep. Peepa", Matthew said, leading the boy down the hallway to the bedrooms. "Uh, yeah, Bonnie the bedrooms are this way..." Cry said, leading her down the hallway.

Jack shook his head slowly, wondering why Bonnie and Peepa willingly volunteered for this. Cry and Matthew were here because of their fathers and Jack, Dan, Stephanie, Ryan and Matt had been randomly taken form their homes.

The heroes received the call for action a few hours before quitting time. As Knave and Andrew rushed to get changed with the rest of the heroes, Knave attempted conversation with the boy. "Isn't this fun? We all get to cheerfully march to our dooms. Or if you aren't cheerful, I could make you cheerful." She only got a grunt in response, but kept talking anyways. "Maybe I should make us all happy before we go out. Life the spirit you know?"

The heroes raced into the streets. When they came face to face with the villains, Knave read each of their expressions to see what they were feeling. "Let me see", she muttered to herself. "Jack's hopeful, Cry's determined, yellow boy is calm and the new girl is freaking out but hiding it pretty well. Respect, new girl. Matthew is probably sad and angry but hiding it. Again, respect. Ok let's do this."

Knave took a breath and held out her arm. Jack stopped zipping towards her and froze, twitching. He suddenly shrieked in fear and fell to his knees, clutching at his head. Knave tweaked with his fear a bit more until he was curled up in a shivering, screaming ball on the ground.

Knave felt hands on her collar and suddenly she was being thrown against a wall. She groaned in pain when she smacked her head against the brickwork and Jack gasped as the nightmares left his mind. Mark was standing over her, breathing heavily. "Mark man, what the hell?!" she exclaimed furiously. "Leave that one to me", Mark growled. "You could have just told me instead of throwing me against a bloody flipping wall", Knave grumbled, climbing to her feet.

Knave glanced around, seeing that the only villain left to fight was New Girl, who's was helping Yellow Boi with Felix. Knave sighed, jogging over and reaching out her hand, ignoring the headache beginning to build up around her temples. If she used her power too much, she knew, her brain would implode in on itself and kill her instantly.

New Girl frowned, glancing up and seeing Knave's outstretched arm, puffing two and two together. She ignored the wave of sadness trying to take over her and instead approached the girl. Knave dropped her arm, frustrated, and grabbed New Girl by the throat. New Girl punched her in the nose and her eyes started to water but she held on.

Yellow Boi sneaked (because that's actually a word :/) up behind her and put his hands on her head. Knave went limp, slumping to the floor. She felt her life trying to leave her but clung on. She saw a figure attack Yellow Boi and her life was sucked back into her body. "Oh my God that was weird", she muttered, standing up and watching as Mark beat Yellow Boi senseless.

A/N: Crappy, unedited chapter because I try to do one a day. Or rather, one a night, because, ya know. 1am. WHATEVER PART TWO TOMORROW MAYBE THANK FOR THE OCS, CONGLATURATION TO ThatOneBookworm2005 FOR GUESSING A THING. OK COOL PEACE.
