A/N Sorry for the long wait guys!

Enjoy~
It all happened too quickly. The man with the mask was suddenly behind Izaya-sama and Shizuo-san. Throwing away the papers that he was grading, I managed to see an 100 before they fell to the floor. He took out of his pockets two syringes and shoved them at their carotids. They were out cold. I got up from my seat and proceeded to knock him out but Aaron's movements caught my eye and I came to an halt looking at him.
"Clever girl" He said with a smirk. It was a close call.
*One more step and he would have burned the nerves of my feet* "You... what the hell are you doing?!" I shouted.
The man with the mask took out another syringe, the kind for blood sucking.
*What is he trying to do? What are they plotting?*
"He's going to take various samples of their DNA and use them in his own way. Do you want to stop him?" He asked. 'Fight me if you want this to stop' was his message. Fine! So be it old man!
I turned my full attention to Aaron. He was the same as me so the usual tricks had small chances of working. I had to try and use fast physical contact, which means that I'll have to avoid his attacks on my nerves. I could boost my own movements but that limits everything else. Maybe something like an EM barrier? If he manages to break that then I'll be out cold.
"Your thinking is loud and clear, Electra-chan" He said "What is conscience?" That was rhetorical. He had already seen my answer on the papers. He probably chose the questions himself since most had to do with my powers. I chuckled. And I answered exactly the truth in those questions that asked for my opinion. So... he can read a person's conscience.
"I can do a lot more than that. You can do it too. Why not give it a try? Don't you want to know what they're thinking?" His smirk grew even wider.
"I'm not that interested in a person's conscience. I believe their thoughts are to be kept for themselves. If they want to tell me something, they will do it themselves. Besides, I could fry their brains in the process" I answered
"Don't you want to know the truth they're hiding?"
"Izaya-sama is going to tell me everything himself"
"Is he really?" I glanced over at him. I knew he was going to tell me everything. Then I noticed. The man was doing his job like nothing was happening.
Aaron was just buying time for him. I snapped, turned my attention back to him, threw off an electric bolt as a diversion and charged at him, trying to kick him. He simply caught my leg and threw me on the ground. That old man is more than his looks. All he did was put two fingers on my forehead. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. I was panicking. My breathing was becoming faster and faster.
"If you want the truth about that time, then I can uncover it for you. Meet me in a month's time, on the top floor of sunshine 60, win me in a duel and you'll have that one part of your memories that you can't unlock"
And then, all I knew was darkness.
Beep sounds. I could only hear beep sounds that beeped rhythmically. I slowly opened my eyes. I couldn't see clearly. My vision was so blurry, it made me dizzy. Were these faces above me? How many were they? I couldn't see. Strong light. It made my head ache. I closed my eyes again in an attempt to escape the dizziness.
"Electra-chan!"
*Ah, stop... It's too loud*
"Can you hear me?"
*Please, stop! My head!*
The beeping sounds became faster. For some reason it just added to my anxiousness. Faster... Faster...
*Stop! I'm begging you!*
I felt something warm upon my hand... the other too! Then, another voice.
"Electra-chan..." Soft and baritone... almost...sad? I tried opening my eyes again. No luck. It just made it all worse.
"Can you speak? Can you even hear us? Squeeze our hands or something!" Said the first voice, freaking out. I squeezed their hands but I felt limp again.
*No... I don't want this darkness again...*
"Squeeze our hands or something!" I shouted losing my cool, hoping for a sign that she was ok.
When I came to, I saw Shizu-chan above her limp body, shouting her name, asking her to wake up.
I was frozen in place, only my fingers moving to text Celty.
{Shingen was here. Shizu-chan and I just came to. Electra-chan is out cold}
I felt a squeeze on my hand and I came back to reality, but after a few seconds I was once again frozen. She fell limp again. Why? I squeezed her hand in return. *Why isn't she responding?! The heart monitor... it's going back to normal... No... No! Don't you lose conscience on me again!*
I looked up at Shizu-chan. He looked at me at the same time. We were both frowning at each other. I couldn't move from my spot. I was panicking too much for that. At least the monster got the message and got up instead, going to call Shinra or something.
"Monster! Monster! She is a monster!" They sang mockingly.
Ever since I can remember myself, I was called a monster. I never knew why. For no reason at all, I was bullied all the time. Simply for existing. But there was this one time, when the kids weren't just calling me names. There was this time, when they were hitting me harder and harder, even though I was crying for them to stop.
"Hear that? I think that's the sound little monsters make to call their mommy for help!" Said one of the kids
"But it's pointless you know! You killed her yourself, didn't you? Only a monster like you could ever kill their mother! Monster!" Shouted another
"Monster! Monster! Monster!" They were all shouting as they kept hitting me.
But I still sat there, absorbing everything. Then, as the sun was setting, this boy appeared. I can't see him clearly 'cause the light of the sun illuminated him. He approached us and...
I woke up once again. This time it was dark. I was also able to open my eyes and move. I sat up on the bed and noticed that both my hands were held. One hand was connected with Izaya-sama's hand and the other with Shizuo-san's. They were both asleep. I smiled at them. Those two are supposed to hate each other. What are they doing so close to one another?
Then, I felt a presence and I instantly looked up. "Aaron!"
He bowed "How are you feeling?" He asked. What's with the normal conversation?
"What are you doing here?" I asked in return
"I'm checking on you. You are... quite important to me after all"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"That man..." He began talking pointing at Izaya-sama "Is going to explain everything to you, isn't he?" He smirked. Why is he taunting me about that?
"Why do you want me to use my powers like that?" I asked. I don't want to hurt anyone with my powers, so I'm not going to do anything like that to Izaya-sama nor Shizuo-san.
"I see... You are concerned about others too much to extend your own powers. But... You must know by now... You can't trust this man"
"So, you're saying that it's ok to kill him just because I can't trust him?"
"No... I never asked you to kill him, even though it would be preferable. But! I need to make sure you don't put your trust in the wrong people"
"In other words, you're here to break us three apart so that you'll have your way with whatever you're planning"
"No... I want you to stay away from that specific man. It would be weird to say that I don't want you to be around Heiwajima-kun"
"I thought he was your nephew"
"Not exactly. I'm very good friends with his parents and I've been taking care of him and his brother when they were gone for business"
"Still... Why do you want me away from Izaya-sama?"
"You address such an awful person with –sama?"
"Izaya-sama is not an awful person and you're not my father so stop acting like you are!" I shouted. Then, I noticed that they were not waking up.
"We are inside your head right now. This is just the image of your condition"
"Why are you in my head? Stop messing with me already! What did I ever do to you?"
"You are too important to me to let you around him. You must leave his side or else!"
We stared at each other for a few seconds "You're despicable"
He frowned at that "Let's see if you'll keep saying that after he decides to spill out the truth... IF he ever does that!"
And everything went dark again after that
I woke up and sat up on the bed sharply gasping. I looked around me. Where was I? A small, simple room. It only had a bed next to a window and two chairs beside it. The yellow curtains covered the window.
The door opened and Shinra-san entered. His eyes widened but he smiled immediately "Electra-chan! You're awake!" He barely managed to enter the room when Shizuo-san dashed in and threw him out of the way.
He hugged me tightly for quite a while until he spoke "How are you feeling?" He let go and looked at me in the eyes
"I'm... feeling fine... I guess... Is something the matter?" I asked curious as to why He was acting like this
"No... Everything is fine" He smiled "I have an errand to run so I'm going to have to leave you alone. Izaya will be here soon to take you home. I should be back until then. Will you be ok?" He asked
"I guess so... Where are we?"
"At Shinra's"
"I see... I'll be ok, Shizuo-san" I smiled back at him. He got up, patted my head and left.
I stood right outside Shinra's house. I took out a cigarette, lit it and put it in my mouth, all the while dialing the flea.
"Shizu-chan?" Damn... just his voice pisses me off. But it's for her.
"She woke up" There was a pause on the other end
"How is she?"
"Why don't you come and see her yourself?"
"I will. I have to take her home, remember? I just have a couple appointments so I won't be free for the next couple of hours"
"Don't care about your agenda"
"Cruel as always, monster"
"Flea..." There was a pause. Conversation between us was pointless. I bet if it wasn't for Electra-chan we wouldn't be able to have a normal dialog
"Just call me when you're done"
"Sure thing... where are you going?"
"To my uncle's"
