Jade's eyes shot open, noting that she was in an apartment she didn't recognize. She looked down at her ankles, seeing them tied together. Attempting to move her hands, she felt resistance, and looked up to see them tied to a radiator. She pulled her hands, grunting as she did but nothing happened. An immense amount of heat was coming from the radiator, which disabled Jade's power. She tried using it, but only felt the heat. Her face was covered in sweat from it and she gritted her teeth. Looking around again she saw the dark figure that had taken her come into view, the cloud of black slowly leaving.
"Professor Romero?" Jade asked as his face was revealed.

Drew and Rhodes exited the facility, salvaging anything with value from the building. Drew held his side still, pointing towards the Jeep. Rhodes nodded her head, taking the keys from him and walking to the car. Drew turned around, looking at the building one last time before limping towards the Jeep, getting into the passenger seat. Rhodes turned the car around as Drew pulled out a small remote, pressing the single button that was on it. The car began to drive away as the building exploded, destroying it once and for all. A large smoke plume filled the sky as the two headed for the town.

Cooper looked over at Mollie and Javi who were sitting down on two seats. Cooper stood next to them, holding onto a railing as the bus they were on departed from the town and towards the city, heading onto the highway. Mollie looked out the window, immediately spotting the smoke plume and tapped Javi on the shoulder. The boy looked over and saw the same thing, his mouth hanging open with shock.
"Whoa." Cooper mumbled, staring at it as well. The woods around the facility had begun to catch on fire as fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars flocked to the area.

Danny turned a corner, his ankle swelling up to the point where any pressure put on it hurt immensely. He put his hand on the building next to him, taking a deep breath. He looked up to see a black van pulling up in front of him.
"Shit." Danny whispered. He turned around, seeing the three men that were left from his house standing behind him. They had their guns aimed on Danny who didn't know what to do.
"Kneel boy." a voice said. Danny turned around, seeing an older man with a large scar over his left eye coming out of the van. Danny slowly got down onto one knee, but was quickly tazed by the men behind him, knocking him unconscious.

"Jade, I need you to listen to me." Professor Romero said, sticking his hand out in a non-threatening way.
"You... you did those things... you killed those men..." Jade whispered to herself, looking down at the ground not wanting to look her teacher in the eye. Romero quickly grew annoyed, punching the wall next to him.
"Listen to me!" he shouted. Jade's eyes shot up, filled with fear as she stared at him.
"There's somebody who needs to speak to you. They will enlighten you about everything that has been going on. He can help you understand who you really are." Romero said. His eyes quickly began to turn fully black, allowing the Higher Being to take over.
"What the hell?" Jade whispered to herself.
"Jade is your name so I've learned. You, you are one of the original five who were affected." the Higher Being spoke now. Jade noticed the difference in Professor Romer's voice, her body beginning to shake from the overwhelming fear of the situation.
