The twins were taken out of the cell, along with a girl name Brynne who had powers too. She had animal manipulation, she wasn't much of a talker , but she was scary when she glared at someone. Soon, it was just Ashton and Reese. Nash and Jennette were taken to separate rooms. Ashton looked at Reese.

"We need to escape. We need to ..." As always, Ashton began brainstorming possible escape plans, but she was coming up short.

"Ashton. I... I don't think we can . We are so.... weak. " Reese said. And it was true.

Each one of the teens were starved, filthy and injured. Each one's skin was purple and yellow with bruises, and numerous cuts, scrapes, and gashes marked their bodies. They resided in concrete hellholes for a good month, surviving on stale bread and water. They were all each noticeably slimmer, and their skin tones were an unhealthy pale. They weren't given a change of clothes, so they've live in tattered and burned clothes from the last battle that took place.

"Is now really the best time to give up?" Ashton asked, trying to hide the hopelessness in her voice.

"It's not like we have a better option. They broke us, Ash. And now, who knows where the rest of the group is. " Reese said, frowning.

"But... we can't die. We....I just simply can't..." Ash tried to hold back. "No. Now is the time for action. We are living." She said, with a hint of determination in her voice.

"We'll do it together." she reassured.

"Touch me again." Nash taunted. The scientist which was assigned to his room was poking him harshly with his prodder, annoying him to the point of no end. Nash was helplessly chained to the ground. Nash looked up at the scientist.

"You guys are worse than hell." Nash stated.

"Well, someones gotta prepare you for it." the scientist laughed. Nash peered up at the scientist and spat.

"Ugh!" he groaned, wiping it off his lab coat. "Fucking teenagers! You never learn!" the scientist threw a punch at Nash, hitting him hard enough to knock a tooth loose. Nash tensed up and tried to break free from his chains, but was unsuccessful. The scientist smiled.

"Welcome to Hell, Nathaniel." the scientist said.

Brynne was in a cell by herself, in the dark. She sat huddled in a corner, talking to herself to keep awake. The door to her cell swung open , and a officer of U.A.S. walked in, holding a baton.

"How are you?" he asked snidely. You can almost hear the smirk in his voice.

"If you think dark and cramped places scare me, try Jennette. You aren't breaking me." she said. The officer stepped in the cell.

"Oh, so big and bad. You know , you are going to die in here. " he said. Brynne laughed.

"You can't kill a demon." she smiled, and from the light that shone through the door, her teeth and eyes glinted.

"W-What?" the officer stammered.

Brynne laughed once again, and the officer began to step out of the room. But as soon as he reached the door, it slammed shut. He frantically peered around in the dark.

"You won't get away with this! W-We have an army!" he shouted scared into the dark.

"I just did," Brynne smiled in the dark.

Jennette sat in her cell, quietly, and clenching and unclenching her fists. She was just recently thrown into this cell, and it was already driving her mad. She stood up weakly, as a scientist of U.A.S walked in.

"I'm going to keep it short. You, and your little group of mutant friends, are going to die." she stated bluntly. Jennette looked at her.

"Does it make you feel more important to put down someone half your age?" she asked. The scientist scoffed.

"I'm only what, 10 years older than you?" she said, with a slight smile.

"That's not what those wrinkles say." Jennette fired back. The scientist pressed a button on a hand held remote and lights embedded in the ceiling flipped on. The scientist, which Jennette read on her nametag was named 'Delilah', smiled at her.

"Enjoy your precious moments of life while they're still existent, brat." she said. Jennette rolled her eyes.

"At least I had one. Where was yours? Oh, that's right. Non-existent." Jennette rolled her eyes.

The scientist, becoming fed up with Jennette's antics, dropped her clipboard and wrapped her hands around Jennette's throat, squeezing hard and making Jennette cough.

"T-this must b-be the first time of h-h-human contact for you, right?" Jennette took short , choppy breaths. The scientist pushed her up against the wall.

"I can't wait to watch you die." Delilah said, releasing her grip on Jennette and picking up her clipboard, turning around on her heel to leave. But, before she did, she turned out the lights.

"And you will die right along with your friends and boyfriend, too." she added, before slamming the door shut.

"Kaiser." Keiren said, whispering just loud enough to be heard through a wall. A thump emitted from above Keiren's cell, signaling him that Kaiser was listening.

"I have a plan." Kaiser thumped twice.

"Draw the camera's towards you. Destroy them. But be quick, they'll notice when one goes out. " It was silent for a minute, above Keiren. Then a muffled crash was heard, signifying that the deed was done.

"Pull the camera in my cell hard enough towards you that it will crash against the ceiling ." Once again, a moment of silence passed, and then the camera was ripped violently enough from the wall to crash into the ceiling and smash into a million of microscopic pieces.

"Okay. Now, there is metal in the door's bolt. Draw that towards you, and it should unlock. Afterwards, run down here fast enough so the cameras in the hall don't see you and unlock mine . I'll explain from there. "

As soon as Keiren finished his sentence, his door swung open, and there stood a smirking Kaiser.

"Kaiser!" Keiren ran up to his identical brother, wrapping his arms around him and squeezing. Kaiser hugged back.

"Let's go find the main control office." Keiren said, but he was interrupted by a loud, sharp ringing. Red and silver lights shone through the halls, and the ringing was loud enough to burst an eardrum. The twins put their hands over their ears.

"Correction! Let's find the others! We are going to need help." Keiren screamed.
