"How long do you think it will take for us to get out of here?" Diego asked me as we sat on some sort of…I had no idea what to call it. It felt like an indoor adventure obstacle course you take young kids to. Probably some sort of foam covered in plastic.

"I've no idea" I sighed looking down at the plastic covered ground "I don't think I can handle being electrocuted again, fucking hurts"

"Can't you absorb it? Like you did last time?" he asked me.

"This feels different, it's like its blocking me from absorbing it…it's hard to explain. Either way, The Professor has done a lot of work on it, he has been watching our every movements" she sighed "To what extent?"

"Professor and a pervert. Great" Diego sighed. "I promise you, we will get through this, angel"

"I know we will, we just have to behave, and not put up a fight, because it would be harder to get out" she added. "So, do as your told, no matter what, I've learnt from experience" I added, before hearing a door open. Diego stood up quickly, standing in front of me, all I could see was his back side, and I have to say. His back side was a sight.

"Just me" The professor called out, pushing his glasses back onto his face. "I thought I would catch up with you two, the others seem less interested" he chuckled as he walked forward. Diego moving backwards into me. As much as I liked staring at his arse, I didn't want it in my face. "I see, I see you are protective of her" The professor pointed out.

"Have you ever been in love?" Diego asked him.

"Yes, a couple of times" The professor responded.

"That's not love, if you had fallen in love, you wouldn't have said a couple of times. Love is rare, some people take advantage of it just for the sake of it. But there is only one person in the world, you would protect, move the world for her, because you see no one else but her in your future" Diego explained "So, this girl right here. She is my future, and I am not letting anyone hurt her no more. She doesn't deserve it; she deserves a life"

Diego, you are getting laid…somehow.

"Well, that was an impressive speech, Number 2" The professor chuckled. "I am not going to hurt her. If I did, I would have used that collar on her" he added, pointing to his neck, to imitate the collar around our necks. "Believe it or not. I don't want to hurt her, there's no point, because she will retaliate" he explained "So, as long as we are both on our best behaviour, nothing will happen, I also find her extraordinary, so why hurt something so…out of this world" he smiled "It's like discovering a new species in the wild. Yes, some hurt and kill for money. But others, study the species, make sure it's not disturbed, you're like that"

"Except you kidnap us, and keep us here" I pointed out.

"Well…knowing what you are capable of, all of you, I am taking precautions" he smiled "Now, I would like to gather you all to another room, I want to see first hand your abilities" he grinned "I want to see the magic happen" The Professor motioned his head towards a direction. "It will be fun" he grinned turning around and walking away.

Standing up, I looked at Diego "What ever he asks you to do, just do it"

"Even if he asks me to throw a blade at you?" he asked frowning in concern.

"Look, I don't mean to brag, but remember what he said. He finds me…special, so he doesn't want me hurt. Even if he does ask you to throw a blade at a body part, I'm sure he will give me the same treatment as he did to you" I placed my hands on either side of Diego's face "Diego, you have to promise me, follow the rules, it's the only way we are getting out. Like, the Hunger Games, Katniss followed the rules, until the end, she showed she wasn't to be fucked with. And that is what we will do" I assured him. "I know how this works, I will get everyone out of here, and then we can go see our house" I smiled at him. "Let's go" Taking his hand, we followed the professor.

Upon entering the new room, which was a darker grey colour, walls, ceiling and floor. The rest of the gang was there. Even Vanya. Maybe my first job would be getting Vanya out, and getting extra help. But she was…normal, I didn't want her getting hurt, even if we didn't have the best relationship.

"I'm glad to have everyone here" The professor grinned. "Today, I want to see your abilities in action. Yes, I know I have researched you, but I want to see it for myself, get the front row seats" he chuckled "We will save the best till last, of course, Vanya, you will stand back and watch"

I did wonder why he kidnapped Vanya along with us. Maybe he didn't want to risk leaving any of us behind in the kidnapping. Even if Vanya was normal, we didn't know what she was capable of, finding out we had all just 'disappeared', she might, or I hope, she would investigate it, and somehow, out of the ordinary, would find us in this…facility. Or, maybe he had a plan for her. I had no idea. Either way, I know he had a plan for her, if he had a plan for us.

Vanya nodded and stood back allowing her dysfunctional family to what they had to be told.

"Okay. Allison, you are up" The professor stated.

"Wait. Are you saying I have a useless power? Klaus has the best useless power" Allison commented "No offense"

"None taken, sis"

"Klaus can see dead people, we can't see them, so a little useless to demonstrate" The professor commented.

But his face gave something away. It was true. Klaus could only see the dead people to do with the people around him, or the room he was in. So, how many people have died in this building or to the hands of the professor?

"Allison, please demonstrate your power on…Klaus" he chuckled. "Make him…run into that wall" He pointed to a solid concrete wall.

"You're not serious, are you? He could hurt himself!" Allison protested. The professor raised his eyebrow.

"Diego, show her your injures" he asked him. Diego frowned, in which I nudged him with my elbow. Giving him a look to say 'do as your told'.

Diego lifted up his top, his olive tone skin, perfect, no bruises.

"Wait…how did I just notice you were okay?" Allison asked shocked.

"It's fine, our minds are on other things right now" Diego commented. "I'm fine" he added.

"Let's say, I gave Diego a little something to heal him. So, what ever injuries happen today, you will be fine, I assure you. Now, demonstrate another lie in your life, Allison" The professor spoke, sounding like he was spitting a little venom at her.

Allison sighed to herself and looked at Klaus, mouthing 'I'm sorry'. Klaus nodded in appreciation. "I heard a rumour" Allison's voice echoed as an invisible clear wave came from her mouth, entering Klaus's face, turning his eyes white. "That you ran straight into the wall" she instructed him.

Klaus turned his zombified body towards the concrete wall and ran straight ahead, before a large thud echoed the room. Everyone covering their eyes, afraid to see his brains scattered on the floor.

"Ow" Klaus groaned. The sound of his alive voice, made us all open our eyes. Sighing in relief, at Klaus being okay.

"Big guy, go put him over there" The professor motioned at Luther. Sighing in frustration, Luther walked over to Klaus, grabbing his arm and dragging him in the place the Professor wanting him.

"He looks alright, might have a concussion, but I can fix that" he chuckled. "Right…now, who do I pick? Teleportation? Bending blades? Strength?" The professor smiled

"Boy, your turn. And remember, try and teleport on me and kill me. There will be consequences" he warned Five.

Diego and I looked at Five, to say 'Do as your told'.

"Don't worry, I'll do what he says, but one day I will teleport on him and kill him" he commented.

The professor made Five teleport to several different areas. Areas around the building, around the room with heights, trying to make him teleport as much as possible. Until, Five felt exhausted.

"Good, go join your…brother. Or what ever relationships you lot have" The professor shook his head, before turning to Luther. "Your turn big man" he chuckled wandering off to a large solid boxing bag, pushing it in front of Luther. "Punch this" he instructed Luther.

Luther sighed, as he punched it with one fist, causing the bag to break off the chain, splitting in half.

"Wow!" The professor chuckled. "Now, let's up it a little bit" he smirked "Punch the concrete wall" he grinned.

"Has Luther ever done that?" I whispered to Diego.

"I have no idea, we have been through so much, I forget half the time of what people are capable of" he chuckled.

Luther walked over to the concrete wall, and punched it with a bit more force than before, causing the concrete to crack and pieces to fall onto the floor.

"Good man. Impressive. A cross between, Captain America and the Hulk" he chuckled. "Go join the others" The professor turned around and smirked. "Number 2, you are up" he grinned.

Looking at Diego I nodded, with a small smile. Letting go of my hand, he walked to the spot where the rest stood before.

The professor walked to Diego, and produced one of Diego's blade. "If I was you, do as your told, try anything, and as much as a clique this is for me to say, try anything and you will regret it" he whispered a little too loud, but on purpose so I could hear him.

The professor smirked at me. "We need a target" he grinned. "Lexi. Be my target"

"What! No way!" Diego protested, turning to face me.

"Diego" I sighed; I couldn't believe I was risking a blade being in my body for this. "I'll be okay" I assured him. "Where do you want me?" I asked. Deep inside, I was scared. I had never been stabbed before, and I honestly didn't want to find out.

"Against the concrete wall, where Luther made his mark" The man with the glasses grinned brightly. Too much like a mad scientist.

Sighing, I walked to the spot, the room was large, Diego stood in the half way point of the room, while I was at the end point. Making the space between us, half of the size of the room.

"Aim for her shoulder" The professor told Diego, who looked reluctant. But he knew he had to follow the rules.

Taking a deep breath, I had to get the adrenaline up in my body, less chance of passing out…I think.

Diego took the blade from the mad scientist, seeing it was his own blade. His face dropped to a sad look, before looking at me. I could see this was killing him inside, but he knew he had to do it.

Nodding at him, I watched Diego swing his right arm from the side, the sound of his ability taking place with the sound of a blade flying in the air, I had to close my eyes, ready for the impact…
