You turned the Ruby in your palm, staring at the glowing object. It was a beautiful thing, shame it could have fallen into the wrong hands. You felt a warmth with it, which comes from the whole 3000 degrees thing. Luckily for you, heat isn't exactly a problem.

You turn around to show Luna.

Wait.
Where was Luna? You whipped your head around, apparently Will and Oliver noticed too. Something didn't feel right, you knew something had to happen.

"Where did she go?" Oliver asked, a hint of panic in their voice. "Oh she did not just ditch us!"

Will placed a hand on their shoulder. "Luna wouldn't do that. Something had to have happened, I know she wouldn't have just wandered off. Especially in a crowded area." She tried to calm down her sibling, but they only stared at you. Why were they staring at you??

"What?"

"Shit!" Will raised her voice only slightly, which was plenty enough for you to look over to her. Normally she was calm, but she was freaking out right now.

"Isaiah must have gotten to her..." Oliver paced around. "Fuck... They could be anywhere! It'll take forever to search the place; damn it!"

You were quieter than usual. You found yourself trapped in your thoughts, panic beginning to settle in. What happened to her? How could someone get her away so easily? You found yourself running your fingers through your hair, fidgeting wildly as you tried to think. You glanced down at the hallway where she once stood, then back to the siblings. You dropped the ruby back into the jar and handed it to Will.

"Where are you going?!" Oliver asked.

"Finding her!" You called as you basically ran over to the hotel.

You slowed down once you reached the rooms. They were all dead silent, there was no way Luna would be that quiet, even if she was shy, you knew that when push came to shove she would fight for her life.

She wasn't on this floor. You made your way to the stairs, which were next to the elevator. Just as you were opening the door to the stairs, you heard a thud, and a shrill scream:

"Get off of me you psycho mormon-!!!"

You recognized the high pitched scream from the underworld, and the slip of the Mormon insult only confirmed your suspicions.
Luna.
You practically sprinted over, overshooting it and ramming against the door to the control room. You tried to open the door.
Locked.

"Employees only!" Isaiah called. At least you assumed it was Isaiah.

"Oh don't even try to fake- OW!" Luna's voice rang out. How someone can stay sassy in the face of danger, you had no clue. She acted on impulse when she was scared.

Okay, that was it. You gripped the doorknob with both hands, and took a deep breath, allowing your hands to heat up into a steady, but hot flame. You'd done this a million times! Except those times were pranks. This time, your friend's life was on the line.
It wasn't hard to get the flame hot enough to turn the knob bright red. You were pissed, you weren't going to let some narcissist murder your friend for their own benefit. Not on your watch.

It only took a moment before you began to feel the doorknob melt under the heat, and soon enough, the lock as well. The second the molten metal that once was a doorknob melted off and hit the ground, you couldn't help but let yourself go and well... Torch Up.
Now, just a bit of a push on the middle, and--
You kicked the door down. It went off its hinge and swung open. You couldn't control your rage. You were burning with it.
Literally.
