"I didn't think you were such a naive dumbass!" Clyde roared. Clyde's fist clenched into a ball, and the radio waves that were previously dancing through the air freely crunched into an orb, and Wire finally figured out what was going on.

Wire frantically scanned his card against the door, resulting in it lowly opening. Clyde continued laughing. "Use that big brain of yours and think about what radio waves are!" Wire didn't respond as he hastily shut the first metal door, and proceeded to the second.

"Electromagnetic waves! On the electromagnetic spectrum! I thought you would have known that i couldn't JUST control light!" Wire heard from inside the door. He heard a tremendously loud crack, then again, and then the shatter of glass. Clyde howled with laughter as Wire shut the second door. He heard another thud against the door as Clyde began to break out. As soon as Wire was out in the hallway, he booked it as he pulled out his phone and typed in a number. The phone rang once, then the receiving end picked up.

"What is it-"

"Clyde's out! Do something!"

"What?" Laurens, for what seemed like the first time, showed emotion.

"Did I stutter?!? Do something! Now!" Wire screamed into the receiver.

There was silence for a moment, and operation stripe was initiated. The most of the lights had shut off, and the ones that were still on had changed to a neon purple hue. "He can't only control light!" wire yelled into the phone, "He has the radio! He's using the waves!"

"It doesn't matter if he has the radio, the lights being like this hinders him immensely." Laurens tried explained calmly, "But right now, you need to hide. You know how terrible Clyde is, and what he can do to you. He knows where the shelter is, so you need to find someplace else."Wire stopped for a moment to think as the receiver clicked off, but quickly started moving again once he heard the screech of broken metal down the hallway. "You can't get away that easily, Doc!" He heard a voice cackle from down the hall. Wire shook as tried to think, until suddenly, he had an idea.

Wire had gotten away that easily; but to where? Clyde groaned, weighing his options; he couldn't project, in the case they find his body and lock him back up. And he sure as hell couldn't find him by himself in the time it takes for the MTF to find him. He then had a thought; who was the most gullible, the most brainless, and the most trustworthy thing in this damned facility?

Seth was in his room when the lights shut off, resulting in a gasp from the pale being. He stood up shakily as he tried to find the door. He had stepped on a hard object on the floor, resulting in a cry. He sat down on the floor and felt around for the thing that just assaulted his foot. He picked dit up and studied it with his fingers; it was small and square, with pegs poking poking out of one side, while the others were smooth. "A lego." He thought to himself. His room was terribly littered with many trinkets and things to keep him occupied, but that was the least of his worries; why were the lights off? He crawled slowly across the room to the wall and inched himself up. He felt around for the light switch, flicked it once, twice, and a third time before deciding it wasn't going to help. He felt his way back to his bed and flopped down onto it. "I guess i'll just wait it out..." He thought to himself. His ears perked as he sat back up; he could hear...something. It sounded like someone slowly beating on a drum, followed by static-y music. He pressed his ear against the wall, and heard the noise getting louder. As it strengthened, Seth was able to hear someone mumbling to himself.

"It's so dark out here! Where am I? Where is Wire, I need to speak to him! Where oh where could he have gone?"

Seth stumbled to the door and opened it a crack, resulting in a resonating creeeak. He saw someone down the hallway, though he wasn't in the normal lab coats most of the people here wore. The being was wearing a blue and black shirt, with stripes corresponding after every color. He was wearing black jeans, and a dangerous looking pair of black boots to go with it. He was facing away from Seth, and the back of his head was akin to a wispy shadow, like fog in the wind. The thing must have heard the door, as he whipped around, revealing a bright red mask, that seemed to shine through the dark hallway. The mask had two dark holes in the mask where the eyes would normally be, and a crescent shaped hole beneath them, resembling a maniacal smile.

Seth felt something he hadn't felt before, and he didn't like it.

"Hi there!" The being greeted warmly, slowly walking towards Seth. "You must be Seth, right? I've heard SO much about you!" Seth tensed up as he walked ever more closer. The being didn't react to Seth's rejection, and kept walking. "I'm looking for Dr. Jack Wire, do you know where he is? It's really important." Seth was shaking, and tried to speak. "I-I d-don't...I don't know…" The being seemed to glare through the mask, and Seth could feel beads of sweat running down his back. "Sorry! I guess you didn't hear me right!"

The being was suddenly inches from Seth, who was promptly picked up and slammed against the wall. "Allow me to rephrase myself!" He grinned. He quickly dropped Seth and forced him down onto the ground. Seth gasped as a boot was suddenly on his chest, and a dark red mask was looking down at him. The man pointed a hand down at Seth, and a wavy aura seemed to wrap around it. The aura solidified, creating a clear pointed blade materialized, the blacklight giving it a purple hue. It was very pretty, and seth would have complimented it if it wasn't mere inches from his throat. "Where, the HELL, is WIRE!" The figure screamed. Seth felt a tear trickle down his face. "I told you! I don't know!" Seth cried. The being's blade vanished as he picked seth up with one hand around his neck. He reached his other arm towards Seth's face, most notably around the eyes.

"Let's see if you lie when I tear out your eyes."
