"Tell it to someone who hadnt seen your file." Roxy told her casually. "Your cleaner fucked up and got you caught but the FBI has a file on you just waiting for that one piece of eve since that tied all the circumstantial evidence together. They would have caught you soon enough. You left too much evidence behind for them not to connect everything eventually."

Cassandra had settled down, and looked at her hands, thinking, but her eyes were closed. How to get several people, all with difficult personalities, to work together? Well, a common goal would be necessary, but Cassandra doubted she would ever trust those like Spark or Alasteir. Both seemed arrogant and just downright full of themselves. Besides, she would never be able to follow someone who would harm another like Vlad was doing with them.

fists filled her vision, coming towards her... she flinched, eyes darting open but there were no Fists coming towards her. She sucked in a deep breath, and calm herself once more. "You state that it will be a long time for the rest of us, and that you'll be able to do solo missions. How, when you can't help but destroy a light bulb? Yo need to be more subtle. Your demonstration showed that you suck the power out of things near you, like the lights, causing them to lose power for a second or two before returning. I'd say you have a lot more power training to go, before you're ready for missions too, Spark" she said calmly, closing her eyes once more, nodding in agreement to what Roxy said "the fact that your cleaner messed up shows that you are suitable to be a leader. You ordered him to clean up after you, correct? Obviously you didn't inspire much trust in him" she shrugged before continuing

"I had no choice but to be caught, considering I murdered my bastard of a father in broad daylight in front of a lot of witnesses. Never mind that it was self defense" she continued "before that, I lived in society quite well. I blended. I was just another girl going about her business. you work, you study, you buy groceries, you say please and thank you, and you be a good human being, and it isn't so hard to do" but then, her power could be hidden quite easily, and she didn't have any physical enhancements.

What Cassandra didn't know is that everything that happened during her demonstration was intentional, except for the light bulb thing. Spark had been altering the lights in order to put on a show for everyone because that's what Vlad had ordered. In fact, Spark had constantly been using her powers since she acquired them. It was like learning to use a new gun or knife, she was always practicing in order to master her new tool of the trade.

"You think whatever the fuck you want then. I don't have to explain myself, tch." Spark leaned back in her chair with her hands behind her back. These people were really getting on her nerves and she was doing all she could not to start a fight right there in front of Vlad. It was strictly forbidden for Spark to attack any of the other experiments unless she was explicitly ordered to do so. He had made that clear when he recruited her. Spark tried to ignore them by staring at the ceiling but all she could think about was breaking noses. She needed to be away from them soon or she was going to explode.

Alastair looked at both the girls, "Shut up both of you!" He said in a harsh tone. "Both of you just sit down and avoid each other so we may get through this lesson." Alastair said calming down he wanted to be a good leader for these people but they were slaves to their one perceptions of reality some saw him as a tyrant others just didn't care they would have to see him as a leader if they ever hoped to be able to leave this horrible place.

This enraged Cassandra. "How about you get off your high horse, you arogant jerk? stop pretending to be goody goody" she slammed her hand son the table, making a slapping noise, and she opened her eyes, glowing yellow-grey, towards Alastair. "You think I give a damn what you think? You want to put yourself as the leader, well, I'll never follow you! I will not follow someone who thinks beating people will get them into line! A leader is someone who inspires others, and it certainly isn't you! How about you shut up! How the hell do you expect us to blend in, if we don't talk through our own issues to begin with? Why don't you use your single brain cell to actually think for once? Perhaps there's more then one reason for me goading Spark? Of course you wouldn't think that. You just see two girls having a cat fight, a hissy fit. shall I give you a rope to get you out of the hole you dug yourself, or do you wish to stay there?" She said furiously, still sitting where she was, un afraid

Alastair stopped trying to be nice, and brought his hand to his face. "You tell me not to act superior to you but then you do this, look I understand your upset but I thought you agreed yelling isn't going to get us anywhere also have I hurt any of you because I thought it was fun? No I took the beating for a girl I just met you sit here and act like I'm a monster when I've done nothin of course I'm going to get upset just like you but at least I'm containing my self from yelling. Since you seem so great at seeing needed actions why don't you become leader and watch as everyone demonizes you." Alastair said removing his hand from his face.

Flippy didn't have time to deal with the pathetic new experiment sitting next to him, so he shot him a death look before joining on Alastair and Atisuto's conversation. Flippy raised his hand "Why don't you just cut your arm off then if it's such a big deal? I mean you don't really need it per say, but if it's an inconvenience just cut the damn thing off and quite your bitching." Flippy then lowered his hand and sat there waiting for a reply.

Kanjo growled at the low-life dumbass of an experiment sitting next to him. "I'll make you feel like you're arm has come off..." he muttered to himself. He could do it, too, very easily, and he kenw this. He'd want nothing more.

"ENOUGH!!" Vlad snapped. "Guards take them to their rooms. We aren't going to accomplish anything tonight. You need to agree on a leader. The longer you fight among yourselves the longer you stay here." The guard snap to attention and begin leading the teens out of the room.

"I never yelled. I changed my tone, but never yelled." Cassandra shot back, "I'm not going to follow someone who just appoints themselves the leader. That takes away free will. If I'm going to be a solder, I will not be a robot one" with that she fell silent, closing her eyes once more, and curling her hands into fists. Going back to her room would be welcome

Flippy turned and faced Kanjo with anger in his yellow eyes. "Oh YEAH! Well I can actually make your arm come off!" he yelled in Kanjo's face. Enraged Flippy took his chair and threw it across the room where it landed near Vlad "Oh and screw you Vlad if it wasn't for this collar you would have nothing to control me with!"

"But I do have the collar. And you will behave. Right now all of you are acting like children. Not soldiers. The guards will take you to your rooms where you will be dealt with independently." Vlad told them. "Choose a leader or I will. You will become soldiers. I dont care what it takes."

"You people need to shout less." Atisuto said as he put his headphones back in. "They're gonna hear you from New York." he stood up and began to follow behind the guard and went into his room. He then drew a phone on his arm and made it real, and proceeded to do whatever the hell he wanted on it.

---

Kanjo, slightly pissed at the immature asshole of an experiment, stood up and followed the guard back to his room. He was quite relieved when he got to his room, due to the fact that he was now alone again. He sat up on his bed and waited for whatever would happen next.

Alastair watched flippy's little tantrum he apparcohed vlad, "You know I can punish him father. All you have to do is give me the word." Alastair said in a hushed tone before exiting the room he walked through the hall towards his room, "Let's see who the others vote for leader. let's see who will take their punishments for them now." He thought to himself. Alastair arrived at his room the guards locked him In He thought for a moment before opening his palm watching fire appear agin he was going to get a better grasp on his fire before he saw the other experiments agin. They were a unrational group and didn't like him except spark if he did get chose to be leader she would be his second in command not to mention they could always have fun on the side.

Spark followed along to her room just as she had been ordered. She didn't want to give someone else a chance to push her buttons. It was good that they would be separated for the time being. When she got to her room she threw off all of her clothes and lay naked on her bed staring at the ceiling. "what should I do now?" There wasn't much to be done but there was something else. Cassandra had cost her not one but two meals because she couldn't keep her mouth shut and do as she was told. "That little brat is a pain in my ass." It was going to take a lot to get them all working together. Also, what the fuck was wrong with those two in the back of the class? Whatever it was it didn't concern Spark. Alastair was the team leader so she would let him worry about that. Maybe Alastair would drop by her room later and she could let off some steam. That would definitely be a great help.

As Cassandra was led back to her room, or cell, really, she looked about, for the others. She wanted to make sure none of them were being hurt, and was more then ready to blow of her guards, and protect them. Then too soon she was back to her room, unable to see them. She slammed a fist against the wall, and let out a small curse.

What the hell was wrong with her?

She hissed out a breath, and let herself sink to the ground. She leaned her head against the wall, and took a few deep breaths as she closed her eyes. She stayed like that for a time, contemplating everything and nothing. Ever since...the beginning of this, she had fet something shifting through her. Anger at her position seemed to be tainted her, and that seemed to be effecting her entirely. She gritted her teeth, then relaxed once more.

For the first time, she let what she had done completely wash over her. He had been there,yelling, screaming and demanding that she return to him. for a few years, she had been free. For a few years, she hadn't been beaten. And then there he was. As he came towards her, those fists of his ready to hit her, the knife had been in her hands. And she had stabbed him, over and over. And she had stood there, as the police demanded her to let the knife go, the steady drip, drip, drip of blood dropping from the knife point.

"Don't go there, Cas. You're stronger then that" She whispered to herself, opening her eyes. She looked to the door, studying it, studying the lock, and then sent a thin thread of lunar energy into it, beginning to try and open it. She couldn't campaign for leader, or for the leader she wanted, stuck in this room.

Roxy sighed as the guards walked her to her room. She understood Cassandra's need to lash out at Vlad. But that didn't change what would happen next. She wondered if any of them got the same treatment she got. She doubted it. After all Vlad had permission from her father to make her stay as painful as possible. She stared at the wall while the guard connected her collar to a bolt on the wall. "Vlad will be in for you first."

"OH Goody." Roxy replied sarcastically. The guard patted her head like she was a pet, "You know all I need are food bowls on the floor and I'd be a real pet for the boss."

"You better not let him hear you say that. Or he might just do it." The guard snapped smacking her across the face. Although it stung Roxy refused to let him see that he was getting to her. He glared at her before slamming the door behind him.

Flippy was escorted to his room where once the guards shut the door he slammed his fist into it. "Live in the real world... You're very funny Vlad." he said to himself Flippy pulled off all his cloths from the waist up and threw them on the floor. Flippy jumped on his bed and stared at the ceiling until he fell asleep.

Vlad visited each of the teens. He started with Alastair. He was angry that his 'son' hadn't been able to take control of the group. He wasn't surprised though. No one of the teens were natural followers. Most of them were loners. He enters Alastair's room. "What punishment do you want for your failure?"
