Just moments after I announce the escape plan, my cell door reopens. Wanda stands on the other side with- what else?- two guards.

“What?” I demand.

In reply, the two guards grab each of my arms.

“What?” I demand again as I’m dragged out of my cell.

“We don’t have time to be idle,” Wanda answers. “While One and Two are unconscious, we must use you and Three to your full extent.”

“What do you want with me?”

Wanda’s lips curl in what might pass for a smile if it were on anyone but her. “The truth.”

The guards drag me past several doorways- more than I’ve ever passed before. At the end of the hallway, we meet up with Jin and two other guards holding Kyle.

I smile at Kyle it’s like a breath of fresh air to see him again- and fresh air is rare in this underground bunker.

However, Kyle doesn’t seem to notice me; he’s too busy glaring at the twin doors we’re standing outside of.

“Why detention again?” Kyle asks. “I didn’t do anything this time.”

“This will all be over soon,” Jin assures before clearing his throat. “We’re just going to ask you and Four some questions about-” He clears his throat again. “About stuff. Carry on, Wanda.”

Wanda nods and lets herself into one of the two doors. The two guards holding me down follow.

The room is small and dimly lit. a single light hanging from the ceiling serves as the only illumination. A table and two chairs stand below the lights.

I lick my lips. This whole set-up reminds me too much of Uncle Rivers.

“Have a seat,” Wanda orders, taking one herself.

My guards push me down into a chair and then release me. Defiantly, I stand up and then sit down on my own accord.

If Wanda notices, she doesn’t address it. “Now, I’m going to ask you a few questions. If you cooperate, no one gets hurt. If not…” She pats her pocket where her remote of pain probably lies. “And don’t bother lying to me. Your friend is being question as well. And if your stories don’t match up, you’ll both be punished.”

I keep my face as emotionless as possible to disguise the tumult of emotion inside.

What am I supposed to do?

Wanda seems bothered by may mask. “Don’t believe me? There he is over there.” Wanda points to one of the walls, which is actually a half window. Kyle is on the other side of the window, sitting in an identical chair, glaring at Jin.

“Kyle!” I call.

Kyle doesn’t respond in any way.

“They’re soundproof,” Wanda explains. “Now, first question: how did you acquire the leaf that gave you your superpowers?”

I don’t answer.

“I’ll ask you one more time. How did you acquire your superpowers?”

“You don’t deserve the truth,” I retort.

“Very well.” Wanda reaches into her pocket.

My anklet begins electrifying me. I cling to the arms of my chair to keep from falling out.

“Tell me,” Wanda orders.

I ignore her and try to ignore the pain.

“Tell me.”

I still don’t. I can smell my skin burning. The pain is overwhelming.
