"𝓢𝓸𝓹𝓱𝓲𝓪'𝓼 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓭?!" ✶༄ ‧₊˚

"I found her, but the doors jammed." Sylvia clicked her intercom, alerting Leo of her discovery. Willow was found to be locked in the weapons room, unsurprisingly. She was likely the reason for the fried camera.

"Seriously!? Did you try to override it?" Leo asked, hurriedly making his way to the weapons room, talking breathlessly over the intercom.

Sylvia groaned in annoyance as her code was denied once again. "Yup, just tried again for like the fifth time, no luck."

"Well that's annoying," Leo sighed rounding the corner and coming into Sylvia's view, who was pounding on the door with her fists annoyedly.

"Open the door Willow, I know you're in there!" Leo jogged up to her and put his hand gently on her shoulder, effectively stopping her from pounding on the door further.

"That's never gonna work, she's basically a convicted criminal and you think she's just gonna open the door?" Leo peeked through the thick glass peephole and did in fact see Willow, curled up on the opposite side of the room, rocking back and forth like a madman, seemingly whispering something to herself.

"She's definitely in there," Leo stated, Sylvia, knocked him on the back of the head and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, no duh. Because I totally didn't know that already. Thanks for enlightening me." Leo too rolled his eyes at her sarcastic statement. "WILLOW OPEN THE DOOR!" Sylvia shouted, banging on the door even harder.

"Sylvia stop-"

"SOPHIA'S DEAD!" Sylvia shouted, looking through the glass she saw Willow's head snap up, unshed tears in her eyes. "YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!"

"Sylvia-"

"Shut up, I'm making progress," She shushed Leo and watched as Willow shakily approached the door. "MIGHT AS WELL SAY YOUR GOODBYES BEFORE WE THROW HER INTO SPACE!"

"WHAT!?" Sylvia's head snapped around at the voice behind her, of course, it was Cammy. "SOPHIA'S DEAD!?" He looked on the brink of sobbing so Sylvia ran up to him.

"Hey, she's fine. Not dead. Perfectly alive." Sylvia said quietly, kneeling down slightly to his level.

"T-then why-"

"I'm trying to get Willow to come out, and this seems to be the only thing working for me." Sylvia softened when she saw his bottom lip tremble slightly. "Hey, why don't you go see her in medical, I swear on Leo's hair that she's okay,"

Cammy laughed slightly at that and wiped his eyes, Sylvia stood back up and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Alright, go ahead." He ran down the hall and Sylvia sighed.

"You're literally evil," Leo said, shaking his head in disappointment before turning his attention back to Willow. "Willow," He said softly, trying a softer approach to the traumatized girl. "Can you please come out? No one's gonna hurt you, I swear."

Willow approached the door cautiously as Sylvia rolled her eyes and leaned against a wall, watching Leo with annoyed eyes. "I-is she really dead!? Did- DID I KILL HER!?" Willow sobbed, falling against the door, legs buckling at the thought that she really killed her best friend. "I SWEAR I DIDN'T WANNA KILL HER!" She screamed as Leo uselessly slammed his finger on the keypad of the door.

"Willow can you please open the door!? We just wanna help you." Sylvia scoffed at his statement, and Leo glared at her.

"I-I," She stuttered, desperately grabbing at the outjutting keypad on the inside of the room. She punched in random buttons, and surprisingly. The door slid open. Leaving nothing for her to lean against, she evidently sunk to her knees and sobbed into her hands.

"Hey," Leo lightly approached her and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I'm just gonna take you to a room okay? Then you can answer our questions."

"O-okay. . ." She stood up shakily, now silent tears running down her flushed cheeks. Leo guided her to a small room in the ship, apparently the creators of the 'Stargazer' suspected imprisonment of something, as there was a room with a glass barrier running through it. A small chair on one side and a table on the other.

Meanwhile, Eddie had been in the medbay with a very confused Sophia who had just woken up after the many things she had been through.

"Eddie?" She repeated, her voice raspy from the nonuse of it for so long. "Wha-" She cut herself off with a chest-wracking cough, and Eddie immediately pressed a cup of water to her lips.

"Hey, don't worry about it. You're safe now. . ." He tucked a loose strand of chestnut hair behind her ear and smiled at her. "Oh my god, I was so worried about you. I-I promise ill never let that happen to you again."

Sophia looked at him, puzzled. "I-I don't understand. . ." She looked down with glassy eyes, confused as to why there were so many tubes and machines hooked up to her arms. "What. . . what happened? Why am I in the medbay? Wheres Willow? Why can't I remember!?"

"Calm down," Eddie laid his hand over her shaking ones. "What do you remember?"

"T-the training. . . uhh," She picked at the IV in her wrist, Eddie gently pulling her hands away, willing her to continue. "The planet. . . we had to leave for something and now I'm here? I'm so confused." He saw as a few tears ran down her cheeks, gently brushing them away with his thumb he smiled gently, even though he was screaming inside.

"Okay, that's okay. . ." He trailed off, thinking of anything he could possibly say. "Um, why don't you get some rest-"

"What!?"

"You need rest, um you got hurt. . . and uh you should get some sleep and see if you remember anything else when you wake up."

"But I wanna know what's going on!" Sophia borderline shouted, not helping her hoarse voice in any way shape, or form.

"No, Sophia you need to calm down. . . please." Eddie gently pressed her back down, keeping her from hurting herself more.

"Why am I even here!?" She struggled against his grip, tearing out her IV in the process.

"Sophia," Eddie warned in a stern voice, she shrunk under his gaze and her eyes slowly drifted shut.

"'Mm tired," She mumbled, Eddie ran his fingers through her hair as she drifted off.

"That's it. . ." He sighed, relieved that she had gone back to bed, his instincts were screaming at him, concerned about the fact that she didn't remember anything about her time alone on the planet. But he just stood up, took a deep breath, and attempted to his best abilities to re-insert her IV as gently as possible.

Willow sat helplessly on the chair, finally her tears ceasing, now just anxiously tapping her fingertips against the pristine white chair.

Leo, Sylvia, and a severely indignant Eddie stood on the other side of the glass. Eddie begrudgingly agreed to let Leo and Syliva handle the talking, but he insisted on being there for her questioning.

"So," Leo leaned on the glass, his voice coming out muffled to Willow. He spoke a single word, one that should supposedly solve all their problems. But it just caused Willow to shudder, casting her gaze to the ground.

"Why?"
