[At Octavia's]

"You know the more you dodge my questions the more I will hurt you" Octavia muses leaning against an un-sturdy metal table that is against the wall.

" You know that all of those questions you are asking prove how much you need me? Do what you will" Hydro replies, his eyes narrow into a glare that could kill if looks could. Octavia rolls her eyes deeply and lets out an annoyed sigh.

"You aren't getting out of this by trying to check mate me" Octavia says clearly intimated.

"I'm not trying to check mate you. You are doing that all by yourself" Hydro declares without breaking eye contact.

"You would make a better ally than an enemy" Octavia points out folding her arms across her well-endowed chest. Hydro scoffs and shakes his head anger bubbling in his stomach. How can she suggest that after what she did.

"You killed my best friend" Hydro replies bluntly Octavia sucks her teeth and walks away from the table she was leaning on, causing it to wobble.

"But was she really just your best friend?" Octavia asks, a evil grin spreading across her beautiful features as she attempts to stir up emotions in her captive. A knock at the door pulls her attention away, she turns to the door her elegant silk dress twisting around her waist.

"Yes what is it?" She asks

"The rest of them they were found and captured" A shifter says a smile spreads across Octavia's face, she looks back.

"Check" Octavia replies stepping out the room, as soon as the door shuts behind her Hydro shuts his eyes tightly and releases a breath. This cannot be happening, attempting to grasp the concept that this is his new reality. This cannot be real.

Octavia walks into a very large room, three guards hold each team member to keep them from escaping, Damian fights back every urge not to use his ability to get free, one wrong move could mess up the entire plan.

"So you three are the ones who have been causing all this racket " She starts placing her hands in front of herself.

"you are da one who started dis" Changling spits, she glares daggers at Octavia, as if her looks could shoot Octavia down.

"No they started this! They were too scared of what I could do, what I created! So they locked me out and banished me!" Octavia yells, realizing her outburst she tries to recollect herself. Smoothing out her dress and taking a deep breath, exhaling loudly.

"You must forgive me, this is a sore topic. Speaking of sore topics, Mirina, come see what your school sent, they wanted to kill me" Octavia calls, Adapta's heart drops as her attention is piqued. She searches the room for the entrance that this person would enter through. Mirnina walks through the back entrance seeing the guards and the captives. As she turns to face them her eyes fall onto Adapta's heart breaks, but at the same time a bit of relief that she's alive.

"But, I thought you were-" Adapta starts

"We had a deal! We agreed she would be left out of this!" Mirina says cutting Adapta off.

"I did not bring her into this, that retched school did, I told you, they don't care about their students only about their own agenda" Octavia replies effortlessly, the words slip off her tongue as if they were fact. To her they were indeed facts. The words she has hammered into her own mind to excuse what had happened to her.

"Mirina how could you?" Adapta retorts, the betrayal has turned into anger.

"I did what I had to do, you have no idea how hard this decision was to make!" Mirina shouts causing more death glares from Changling.

"I didn't do anything to you, how could you stand by and watch all of those students-"

"A war is coming, I wanted to be on the winning side! I want to live!" Mirina interrupts. Octavia lays a gentle hand on Mirina's shoulder.

"Baby, you don't have to explain anything to her, you should know anyone who the school comes into contact with is brainwashed, say it back love" Octavia demands her eyes glowing a bright green.

"I don't have to explain anything to you" Mirina says with a crooked smile.

"You are the one brainwashing her" Adapta snaps pulling away from the guards, one kicks the back of her leg causing her to let out a yelp. A grin spreads across Octavia's face.

"This must be hard for you guys. First you lose the fire starter, then I take your snow blower, and now you are here seeing your lover" Octavia muses pacing in front of the group.

"Screw you!" Damian snaps, another guard kicks the back of his knee forcing him to the ground.

Ignite turns a corner slowly being sure not to be caught. She looks through the small window on each of the doors but not seeing Hydro in any. Halsey blasting through her headphones as she searches every hall, which to her surprise are emptier than she thought they would be, she expected to see at least a couple shifters. Although, she would not be surprised if they were all gravitating where all the action is. Ignite still attempts to reach Hydro telepathically, with no success. A panicked feeling washes over her every time she comes across another empty room. Frustration builds up inside causing stray sparks to fall from her, falling to the floor.

If only he kept his real name a damn secret this wouldn't be happening, Ignite thinks to herself rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Anger and worry play tug of war while she searches for her lost friend. Ignite turns another corner her eyes skimming her surroundings, two shifters walking side by talking to that girl Trish. Ignite's blood almost instantly boils as thoughts and memories of the past couple days dance around in her head. She narrows her eyes at her, Trish and the Two shifters have yet to see her.

Can I blow her up? Ignite thinks to herself once again, she wonders if her powers could blow someone up from the inside without contact. Ignite steps around the corner and shoots her hands out, bolts of lightning fry the shifters, Trish jumps back startled. Ignite charges at Trish jump kicking her to the ground. Trish swings her foot around tripping Ignite, she hits the floor with a thud; knocking all of the breath right out of her lungs. Trish climbs on top of her attempting to pin her down but Ignite sends a heat wave strong enough to knock Trish off of her. Ignite fumbled to her feet, grabbing Trish off of the ground and throwing her into the door she was in front of, she falls next to the fallen Shifters.

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Trish asks recalling putting a special made bullet in her. The bullet was supposed to freeze her from the inside out. Ignite smiles and shakes her head. Ignite goes to round house Trish but her foot is grabbed before it lands. Trish swings her body weight around Changing positions with Ignite, this time the door breaks open when Ignite is slammed into it, Ignite falls to the floor once again the breath being knocked from her.

The sudden noise and open door startles Hydro who is still chained to the chair. Trish walks through the doorway glaring daggers a bloody cut on her forehead. Ignite's eyes glow a deep red with anger.

"I don't want to have to kill you all and waste your powers, I can amplify them, make you an ally. We can bring down that school" Octavia pitches hoping to use their powers to her advantage.

"Are you ready?" Adapta angrily asks changling telepathically

"Ja" changling answers
