No work today. I decided not to sit out in 20 degree weather and make no money, so nope. Instead I decided to update you guys. If you didn't read the last chapter, seeing how I updated at like 11:29 at night, I gave you guys the accepted OC's for Wonderless Challenges. Thank you for reading if you did and it is okay if you didn't.

This chapter, the group meets up for the first time. Still no sign of Persephone, though I have now planned the next chapter for her.

On a completely separate note, anyone else have problems confusing meet and meat when spelling? I seem to have that issue a lot right now.

Anyway, this chapter is to show Shen, Ivory, Charlie, Vivian, Ethan, and Rosalia...


Upon opening his eyes, Charlie discovered he was in a new environment. Nothing like his previous surroundings, his uncle's comfy home, he was now in a harsh room. The walls literally made of metal, giving a cold aura to the room; no windows and one door, Charlie felt trapped.

He stood up from sitting in a metal chair. Allowing him to get a better look at his situation, he discovered he wasn't alone. Along in the room with him were five others, all sitting on similar metal chairs.

The next to wake up was a girl with redish-brown hair. She slowly opened her blue eyes and almost shouted when she noticed where she was. The girl sort of withdrew into her chair, not making any more sounds. Charlie figured it to be a safety mechanism, something she does to keep herself safe.

"What is this?!"

The shout hit Charlie in surprise. While he was busy watching the quiet girl, another one woke up. Her shaggy black hair was particularly messy, hanging in the way of her face as her harsh eyes scanning the room.

"Where are we?" asked the girl.

She seemed to be directing her frustration towards Charlie. Why, he didn't know. He himself started to become uncomfortable around this girl.

"Shut up, would you."

Not much of a question, more of a command... It came from a boy who had just woken up. He was also standing, though seemed to have a bit more in a demanding attitude with him. His arms laid cross against his chest as he put most of his weight on his right leg. His uncaring expression made the entire room standing on end. He seemed like he was asking for people to hate him so he had something to comment about.

"What's your problem?" sneered the dark-haired girl.

Just what the doctor ordered, thought Charlie; rolling his eyes at his sarcastic thoughts.

"Your shrilling waking me after being unconscious for who knows how long," stated the boy. "You sound like a banshee on crack mixed with being hoarse."

The girl's fists tightened. She would have punched the guy if the last boy in the room hadn't woken up and stood between them.

"Clashing personalities, I can see," said the boy.

He was obviously Asian, though Charlie was having a hard time figuring out what. He felt ignorant not knowing.

"Look, how about we all calm down," said the Asian boy.

The loud-mouthed guy rolled his eyes and fell back into his seat. The way he sat even had a "I-don't-give-a-shit" air. The girl huffed and stared at her knew target, the Asian boy who was just trying to stop a fight.

"Stay out of my way," she snapped, turning her back on him before he could react.

He sighed and moved to an empty wall as to lean on it. While Charlie was distracted with the fighting, the last person in the room woke up. She was now rubbing her temples as if the numb a headache.

"Good to see you are all awake."

The voice came from no one in the room, but instead an intercom speaker hanging from the low ceiling. It startled everyone in the room.

"What the hell?" questioned the dark-haired girl.

"Before any questions, let me introduce myself," said the voice. "I am Nick Fury."

Charlie questioned the reliability of a disembodied voice.

"I am the one in charge here at S.H.I.E.L.D. I am currently not on the base at the moment, so we had to keep you in the room for your own safety. I will be there within a couple of hours," said Fury.

With a click, the voice disappeared. Charlie figured the microphone and speaker's connection was severed, probably deliberately by Fury. Though he seemed to have figured out that Fury wasn't there anymore, the dark-haired girl wasn't to convinced.

"What the hell, Fury?! Fury?!" she shouted at the ceiling.

"Shut up, he is gone," said the uncaring fellow.

The girl glared at him and he just glared back. Charlie figured this was the worst situation he could ever be in. Stuck in a small metal room with these people. He still had no clue what happened. What happened to Uncle Ed? Why he was unconscious? How? Who had taken him? The others seemed to have a bit better understanding of the situation. Though they may not know everything, they still seemed to know more than him. He sat back in his seat and sighed. Closing his eyes, he decided to just relax while he still could.


There you go. Short update, I am going to have Persephone next chapter, along with Fury and the other submissions.
