Werid Science (tag in, o captured ones!)

Florecent lights buzzed gently in the gunmetal grey corridor as Dr. Vanessa Sinesis walked down it, looking in on her newest specimines. A small smile tugged at her cupid bow lips, which she caught in the wall's reflection. The smile widened a bit as she regarded her still smooth and pale skin, and her carefully styled red hair. She smoothed a

Once Kate began to come around, she regained consciousness quickly enough. She and Cassie had been put in a bland-looking room with what looked like a transparent wall that gave a view of a hallway and two other occupied rooms. At the moment, the boys were all still unconscious. Wimps

"I thought so," Kate said. No powers seriously limited their escape options, and she wasn't looking forward to waiting for a rescue. This was going to take some serious brainstorming.

"Hey, guys!" she hissed, hoping it would pass through the wall or window or whatever it was. "Any of you awake yet?"

[billykaplan]

Billy groaned. "I think I'm dead," he announced, wincing at the sound of his own voice. His head felt like someone was pounding on it with a jackhammer, and his stomach...

He only just made it to the toilet in the corner of the tiny cell in time to hurl the contents of his stomach into the bowl. He was like that for some time, until he felt like he was about to bring up his intestines.

Tommy was indeed awake, and feeling a little sick and lightheaded, and cursing quietly under his breathe. There was something wrong; he'd gotten used to a weird tingly rush after his powers had kicked in, like endless energy waiting to get out, but he was feeling none of it. He felt flat. He looked around, about to ask if anyone else was having similar trouble when his surroundings finally hit him.

No…he was so not…they were not…there was just no way. Tommy sat still for a moment, letting the obvious sink in. He smiled wanly and bowed his head. Of course.

Not even free a whole day.

Zack swaggered to his feet as best he could. His head was swimming and walking felt strange. His stomach was doing things it had never done before.

"That's... That's easy enough for you to say, @$$hole! You didn't just have your whole f*cking physiology knocked out of whack!" Zack staggerred back to the bunk and plopped down. 'I fell and didn't break anything...'

"Can we stop yelling at each other please?" Sofia pleaded. She hated yelling, especially when there were so many better things to do, like thinking of a way out. And from the looks of it, the yelling was only making her cellmate more unstable.

She directed her attention to Tommy, who seemed to know the place. "Who is this Mantis person she was talking about?"

[tommyshepard]

“What?” Tommy blinked at the girl, momentarily distrusted from the short guy who seemed to think he was the only one to feel out of sorts over their power loss, and then shrugged slightly. Why did everyone think he knew what was going on around her? Was he some kind of expert of kidnappings now? He hadn’t even been kidnapped really, so much as held against his will in a very legal manner. “I don’t know. Whoever’s running this probably. I’m sure we’ll figure it out when they come to drag us away and make with the testing.”

Because there was always testing and poking and prodding and really, at this point, he’d take Teddy’s homicidal kidnappers over revisiting that any day. Not that it mattered, maybe he should just get used to being a human lab rat. He sighed, raking his fingers through his hair.

Cassie bit her lip. She supposed she could tack kidnapping for experimental purposes off the list. "Do they knock you out before they take you or are you conscious?" She gave up on her collar, it was probably safe to say that it wasn't going to come off. "And how many people?"

[tommyshepard]

Tommy could feel his heart sink as he watched the field flicker out. Well…that was a new tactic. His hands went to the collar again as he silently berated himself; this was different than before, being a smartass might earn him more than a black eye. Which didn't mean he was stopping

Zack looked around at the situation. The dark-haired hottie was doing some kind of sign language, the asshole was creating a suitable distraction, but it seemed like he was starting to crack under the pressure. Meanwhile, Zack himself kept plotting. He knew that if he waited much longer, his window of opportunity would evaporate.

"Okay, if I go steel, I'll be fine. I'll spring your friends and we'll make a break for it. I know it's a little kamikaze, but..." Zack paused and inhaled a deep, resolute breath. "I'll make it."

'And if not, Drew, you better have a guitar waiting for me up there.'

OOC: Rubert's gonna be offline for a while, and has given permission for his character to be used by your friendly neighborhood ST. Just so you know.

"What? Can't put your money where your mouth is?" Dr. Sinesis asked, her voice sweet as poisoned honey. She stepped forward, her arms resting easily at her side. "Can't take one little woman without your powers, boy?"

She stepped into the cell, ignoring Teddy.

This was a mistake.

Unlike Tommy, Teddy knew how to fight without powers, even if he was still feeling rather disoriented. And he had figured out what Kate meant. He dove for the red haired woman, grabbing both her wrists in his hands and squeezing as hard as he could. He was gratified to her something that sounded very mechanical break.

Vanessa frowned at him. "Stupid child," she chided, bringing both her legs up between them and shoving them into Teddy's chest with all her strength. Teddy gasped as he felt his ribs cracking.

Nobody that small should be so strong

[notahawkingbird]

Kate blanched. That bitch had superpowers and she took away the others' powers anyway? Could she not handle them otherwise or what? Was she that Mantis person the girl next door had been talking about or just a lackey? Could Kate ask herself anymore questions?

Calm down, Bishop. The Vision's probably getting a rescue party together already. Whether he's gone to the Avengers or going after more kids from the failsafe program, he's definitely going to get here eventually. We just have to last until then. Which probably means going easy on the more dramatic escape attempts... Kate felt her knees getting weak, but she pretended they'd turned to stone instead and stayed solidly on her feet. If she had to wait for a rescue, fine. But as soon as she got past this stupid forcefield, that foreign-sounding doctor-thing was going to see what her power was, collar or not.
