Chapter 3: The Anechoic Chamber

---------------

"Vanya, what do you remember from before you woke up?" Said girl frowned in confusion, not expecting arandom question like that.

"I remember being locked up inside the bunker..." Suddenly, the enthousiastic, confident girl from before was gone and in her place sat a frightened little teenager, the Vanya everyone was so used to.

Luther looked slightly guilty but before he could attempt at an apology, she continued.

"Then there was a car flying through the air... I smiled at someone. I can't re—wait no, I do remember. It was Allison. I was smiling at Allison." She gave a timid smile at her sister, who in turn gave a reassuring one back. "All I know after that is blue and white light."

"Okay... This is a lot harder than expected." Five looked at his siblings for help.

Klaus decided to break theice, "You know we're here if you need us, right?" She gave him a hesitant nod. "After Luther locked you into the bunker, your powers got out of hand. The Academy—," he gestured wildly to the walls and the ceiling around them— "was destroyed. Pogo... he died. Mom was still in the building when it collapsed. You had gone off to your concert which was that evening, and we needed to find you before you caused the apocalypse."

Allison picked up from there, "We arrived at the Icarus Theater and your concert had already started. Everything was going well until we were stupid enough to attack you in the middle of it. You stopped us and everything that happened after was chaos. Five's old colleagues barged in to try and kill us. Your powers had gotten more uncontrollable by then. Klaus discovered a new ability which made Ben temporarily appear and he killed all the people who were aiming for us."

Five continued, "After that, we decided that we should surround you and take your violin as it was giving you more control over your power." He looked down at hislap, too guilty to be able to look into her eyes. "We failed. Allison managed to stop you before you hurtsomeone badly. Then you collapsed, but not after a beam of power surged out of you. We thought we had stopped the apocalypse."

"We didn't," Diego swiftly followed, "The moon was destroyed by your power and a big moon rock headed our way. In the end, we managed to escape by using Five's power to time travel somewh—sometime else. In the process, we all de-aged so now we look like teens again."

Nobody said anything for a while. She still had to process everything that happened. The apocalypse, the same apocalypse Five had warned her about a week in advance—when she hadn't even known about her powers yet—was caused by her.

As she was about to open her mouth to say something, the sound of something being knocked over echoed throughout the silent living room. A quiet 'oh dear' could be heard near a broken vase. 

The siblings turned their heads and their eyes widened when they saw Pogo sitting on the ground. His eyes turned to them and before he could stand up and run to his master, Diego and Five grabbed him each by the arm and sat him down on a chair. There was no escape now.

"How much did you hear?" Allison snapped at him.

"Hear of what, my dear girl?" Pogo tried to look innocent, but you could see in his eyes that he knewwhat she was talking about. He tutted at the two boys who were still guardinghis sides, but they ignored him.

"Oh cut the crap, Pogo. You heard everything didn't you?" Five looked annoyed. He had a feeling Pogowasn't to be trusted anymore. The chimpanzee had at least the decency oflooking apologetic.
