Okay, the thing is? WAITING A WEEK IS KILLING ME!!! LITERALLY!! AAGGHH!! So, my solution? Updating whenever I can. Which will be at LEAST once a week if I have a lot of things to do, but I'm thinking more like twice a week, NOT including this one, although I might update again Sunday. But whenever I don't have homework, I'll update. LIKE TONIGHT!! YAYYZZZ!! *Ahem* Anyways, XD, so, here's Chapter four, and uhm, if you don't like the hero being temporarily helpless, DON'T READ THIS CHAPTER! OR ACTUALLY…DON'T READ THE WHOLE STORY ANYMORE!

Thank you for your time. :D

Chapter Four

Tatianna Hall paced in front of a chair that held the sleeping form of Aaron Stone. His wrists were tied to the arm rests, and his ankles to the chair's legs.

This is what he escaped from last time I captured him. But he will not get away from us this time. They were not in the same building; instead they were in a far more high-tech place. Basicly, it was the Omega Defiance's headquarters.

"Tatianna,"

She turned around to see Dr. Necros. He had a frown on his face, and he harshly told her, "I'm warning you. Do not fail this time. Or I will personally see to it that you're placed back with your father."

"I won't." Tatianna sneered.

"No. You will not." Dr. Necros glanced at Aaron, then back at Tatianna. "Do not make me regret helping you escape."

"I won't!" Tatianna frowned, becoming annoyed.

Dr. Necros nodded, and said, "You know what to do, then. Where's the andriod?"

Tatianna sighed, crossing her arms. "He's in a prison cell. He's guarded, and he's got handcuffs on that eliminate the use of his equipment. He's not getting out anytime soon."

Dr. Necros glanced at Aaron again. The teen's eyelids flittered, and Dr. Necros walked out, adding, " Get what you can from him," and shutting the door loudly behind him.

Aaron flinched at the noise, and moved slightly. "Jason…go away…" he mumbled half-consciously.

Tatianna smiled. Jason, huh?

Aaron opened his eyes weakly, blinking. He groaned softly, and took a deep breath, pain shooting through his body. He squinted and looked up, his vision focusing on Tatianna.

She smiled again. "So…who's Jason?"

Aaron frowned. "W-what?"

"Jason. You said his name. Now answer me, who's Jason?" Tatianna demanded.

Stupid! What's wrong with me!?

"I-I don't know—anyone named Jason." Aaron stammered.

"Uh-huh, sure." Obviously, Tatianna didn't believe him. "Elias Powers mentioned to me you have a brother?" She continued, "His name is Jason, right?"

Aaron didn't say anything, instead struggled to get out of the straps. He'd never felt, or been, so weak in his entire life. He felt like curling up in his bed and sleeping for a few years. Probably because I've only been getting like five hours of sleep every night for the past week. He thought bitterly.

Tatianna snickered. "You're not going to get away. Stop trying. We need information from you, and we're going to get it."

"I'm not telling you anything." Aaron told her, determined to keep his family safe.

Tatianna shook her head. "Oh, yes, you will. One way or another, you will tell us what we need."

Aaron lowered his head onto his chest, and took a deep breath. I promise, Jason, I won't tell them anything. I'm keeping you and Mom safe.

"S.T.A.N.," Aaron whispered, "where is he?"

Tatianna chuckled. "Your little friend is fine. Until we figure out how to permanently disable him, and hack his memory. Then we can get the information from him. If that happens, you will be eliminated, and so will your family."

Aaron bit his lip to keep from saying anything, and looked up at Mr. Hall's daughter. She laughed a little louder. "Of course, you and your family are going to be eliminated anyways, starting out with your brother…Jason."

Aaron clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.

He watched Tatianna turn around, then lifted his hand and aimed his gauntlet at Tatianna. He shot, and hit her in the leg.

"Ow!" She shouted, whipping around.

Aaron grinned sardonically, making eye contact with her for a single second.

Suddenly, she grabbed something out of her pocket. Aaron saw it was a small cylinder, and he widened his eyes as she walked closer to him. "Hey, get away!" Aaron cried, recoiling at her touch. He yanked on his right arm, but it wouldn't twist enough to shoot at her where she was now. He couldn't move; couldn't do anything as she injected it into his shoulder. She retracted it, and threw it onto the floor, her face flooded with anger.

Agony racked Aaron's shoulder, and he cried out in pain. He managed to look up, but as his sight began to waver, he closed his eyes. The pain slightly eased, and he lowered his head, unable to say or do anything. He moaned softly, letting the painless dark overwhelm him.

Tatianna scowled, then walked out, shutting the door and locking it behind her.

She paced down the hall, and down eight flights of stairs to where the andriod was being held. "Did you get any information out of him yet?" she asked one of the guards for S.T.A.N., who was at a computer.

"No." the man answered, still typing on the keyboard, "But we're working on it. The cuffs are hooked to his wiring. But he's very high-tech, and it might take some more time."

Tatianna sighed angrily, then turned and looked at the andriod. S.T.A.N. looked up at her. "Where is Aaron, Tatianna?" S.T.A.N. demanded, walking over to the bars.

Tatianna smiled sarcastically. "How sweet," she taunted, "You actually care about him. I didn't think androids' had feelings. Anyway, he's alive." She answered, then chuckled, and added, "For the moment."

A spark of fear shone in S.T.A.N.'s eyes for a mere split second, then he frowned. "The Omega Defiance will be stopped, Tatianna. You might as well give up now."

Tatianna scowled. "No, you might as well give up! My father or anyone else cannot stop us, and they will not."

She turned to leave, raising her hand as she left. "Keep working on him, and alert me as soon as you find out anything."

She slammed the door, and began to walk up the stairs. "I am not letting anyone down this time." She muttered.

She shook her head.

"Not again."
