Hear me... 

Jerome hear me...

I know where I am.. I can tell you.. 

Just hear me...

Mercedes set in the middle of the floor of a new room, waiting for the next part in preparation her parents had planned for her.  She shut her eyes tightly as she spoke, focusing on Jerome. 

Please work...

This power was something she barely explored, but she felt it was a great time to try. She stayed calm and focused, hoping it would work. A warm smile graced her face. She could see him. She spoke and the look on his face made her feel safer. She knew he heard her.

Jerome stopped dead in his tracks. He turned to the GCPD with a smile.

"I know where she is." 




Changing into mulitple different animals rapidly had left TaTyana more tired than she had ever felt. She slowly set up when she heard footsteps. Her eyes beamed.

"Mom?! Dad?!"

The woman sighed and smiled at her sympathetically.

"Oh, we're not your parents sweetheart..."

The man stepped close the cage.

"We allowed Dr. Strange to make us look like them. He thought it would make you more comfortable with helping us."

TaTyana looked away heartbroken. The woman pulled out some hospital tools.

"I'm a nurse. I need to check your pulse and blood pressure honey. Could you come sit up here for me?"

Their nice behavior confused TaTyana. She cautiously set at the front of the cage, while the woman gently worked on her.

"Why are you being so nice to me...?"

The man smiled. 

"We want power and control like Strange, but... you and your friend are just kids.. well barely new adults..."

"I hope your transition with the new blood wasn't too painful for you dear."

TaTyana moved her eyes from the woman to the man. She had so many questions.

"Do you two know each other well?"

The man gave the woman a loving look.

"She's my wife."

The woman gave TaTyana an apologetic look.

"Where are our manners? I am so sorry. We forgot to tell you our names. I'm Adelaide."

"And I'm Darrel. It's a pleasure for us to meet you TaTyana."

TaTyana watched as Adelaide put away her tools.

"You're all done. Your vitals are outstanding. Except for being sleep and food deprived. If I could sneak you some food I would."

TaTyana weakily smiled.

"It's okay and... she's not my friend anymore..."

Adelaide looked at her with a sad look.

"What happened?"

TaTyana sighed.

"She's crazy..."

Darrel laughed.
