Day 107

With the girls in one bed and boys in the other, the gang all gradually got up the next morning. Jade and Tori were both thoroughly embarrassed when they woke up snuggled close to each other, being so used to sleeping beside Cat and Beck.

After that fiasco, they each had another shower in a feeble attempt to make up the missed months, before an agent came in with a tray of food for them and just told them to 'eat quickly' before leaving again.

"What do you think they're planning on doing with us today?" Beck thought aloud, in between mouthfuls of toast.

"I hope it's better than yesterday." Cat said coldly, notably not eating with the others. The day before had really shaken her up, the being held down against her will brought back unwanted memories. Unlike the others, Cat reported that she hadn't had any injections, (presumably because they could harm the baby) just various blood, skin and DNA tests. Jade was very sour over that, saying that she should have just claimed to be pregnant too to get out of whatever they injected her with. Cat was not amused by this.

"It will be, Babe." Tori smiled reassuringly, putting a piece of toast in the girl's hands. "You need to eat either way."

"Fine." Cat sighed, taking a small bite of the toast.

Two agents suddenly burst into the room, telling all of the teens to follow them. Quickly discarding their food, the group all stood up and followed robotically, used to the commands and instructions by now. The two agents lead them down a long corridor, up a set of stairs and into another corridor. "Each of you in a room." He motioned to the rows of doors on each side of the corridor.

Exchanging a quick look with each other, the gang all walked into separate rooms.

Robbie POV

The room was every shade of grey, from washed out concrete to almost steel-blue. Every line was straight, every corner sharp, with a table and two chairs in the centre. I walked towards the closest chair and sat down on it, it was about as comfortable as a train station bench.

As soon as my butt hit the seat, another agent walked into the room. "Agent Lennox." he said plainly. When he spoke I could hear the army in his voice, I'd bet anything he's ex-military. He held himself like a mannequin, even his hair was plastic-perfect. Hairspray. I can't stand men in hairspray. As he approached, the air became quickly saturated with his cologne, but once fixed in his gun-metal eyes there was no dis-engagement. His hand shot out like it was remote controlled, and clasped mine tightly, too tightly. After violently shaking it, he released and I pretend not to be bothered while I inconspicuously massaged my fingers to get the blood moving again.

"R..Robert Shapiro." I stammered out, deciding that my formal name was required.

"Birth date?" He said, sitting on the chair opposite me and writing my name down on the clipboard on the desk.

"13th November 1994." I said, he wrote it down.

"Any proof?" The agent asked.

"Proof?" I stuttered out. My life was in LA, everything about me, my birth certificate, ID, everything.

"To make sure you aren't lying." Lennox said as if it were obvious.

"Well... I... no." I looked down. "It's all in LA."

"Then we have a problem don't we."

"Uhuh." Robbie gulped.

"Right then." Lennox sighed, removing the piece of paper from the clipboard and flipping it around. "In the meantime you'll tell me about everything that happened since the cloud hit."

"Everything?"

"I just said that didn't I?" He said harshly, already getting impatient with me.

"Well it all started when we were at Cat's apartment in Venice California..."

Cat POV

About half an hour later

This is a little weird. I just finished taking to this lady, she was really sweet and told me to tell her about everything that happened, it reminds me a little of those therapy sessions I used to have to 'see what was wrong with me'. She told me that it was a safe space and that I could tell her everything, so I did. And after 3 boxes of tissues, I felt a lot better. Re-living it all did really suck, but she was so nice about it all saying that she understood where I was coming from, I didn't ask what she meant but I have a guess.

Then the lady left, so I got up to look around the room, I saw that the light reflected off the back wall differently than the rest, so I slowly stood up and walked over to it and reached out to touch it. It felt like a window, painted the same steel-blue colour as the other four walls. Go figures, people were watching me talk to her, probably recording it too. That hurt a little bit, and at first I was really upset, but after thinking about it, I'd much rather they had a video of me talking about it rather than asking me about it 101 times.

So now I'm just sat on the floor of the room, folding the reminding tissues from the box into various pieces of origami to settle my mind. So far I have a fleet of planes, swans, and enough little boats to start my own Navy. "I'm Captain Cat." I giggled to myself, pushing one of the tissue boats back and forth along the floor. I felt a slight flutter from my stomach, not quite a kick or drastic movement, but just a slight shake. "And my second in command." I smiled, placing a hand on my baby bump. "If I could Baby," I started whispering. "I'd take this boat and sale us away from here, with your Mommy Tori too." I paused after realising what I'd said. "That's if she wants to be 'Mommy Tori'." Of course, she'd said she'll stay by my side and that we'll stick together... but does she want this? Am I asking too much of her to do that?
