"Yeah...so is right." said Scout, a little annoyance in her voice.
"Whats wrong with you? Its like your not even happy to see me? I missed you SO much..its like you've haunted me..When I was a kid I used to have the weirdest dreams with you in it..I was so worried, I thought you were dead...and now I see you finally, and you dont even wanna talk to me...it hurts Scout.." Ray said, stopping by the stairs.
Scout stopped too and Ray could tell she was getting upset by the way she leaned on one leg and put her one hand on her waist, and used her other on to point at him.
"Well. Hmmm. Lets see. I dont know..maybe I WAS SCARED TOO!? I was kidnapped! Did Caliban or Callisto look for me? No. They just let me go. And you too! You probably never even mentioned me to them after I was taken. No 'Hey uh...guys I think Scout is missing. We should look for her, yeah.' Nope. Bye bye Scout! I hope you get hurt when they take you too! I hope the ra-"
Scout stopped short while Ray was just standing there with a guilty look on his face. She didnt want to go into anymore detail about what happened to her while she was with the 'Underdogs'.
"Scout...lets sit down in talk, my room is right there..." Ray said, noticing that Kurt and Evan were now watching them from the bottom of the staircase.
"Fine. Whatever." she said, annoyed that he changed the subject.
They walked down three doors and Ray opened the door and let her in, and he soon followed. She sat down at Bobby's computer chair, and Ray sat on his bed.
"Where were we? Oh..about me not asking them to look for you. First of all, Every single day, for about a year, I cried to them. "Please, come on, lets look for Scout." You have no idea how much I wanted you back. But that couldnt happen so easily. Firstly, because the 'Underdogs' were, and still are, A whole lot stronger than the Morlocks, and Calisto didnt want to put the team in danger. Calisto was heartbroken..You were like a daugter to her. So just dont think we didnt miss you...we were helpless..." Ray said, a tear coming to his eye, but he quickly wiped it away.
"Wow..." said Scout. She figured they just abandoned her. She started to tear a little too, which made Ray uneasy. He wanted to comfort her, but he knew she would just push him away.
"What did the Underdogs want with you anyway..?" said Ray. This was a question that had been bothering him for the last 5 years.
Scout looked up, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes.
"They said I was different from everyone in the Morlocks. They said I was a lot more powerful than any of them. They said Calisto was using me for my power. You have no idea how much that hurt me...and they said I needed to be apart of a much more powerful alliance. They said becoming an Underdog was the first thing I needed in order to become successful and great. There I was, a scared 11 year old kid. I learned to live with my current conditions, and so I stayed with them. I didnt really have a choice." she said, Stopping.
Ray went to say something, but Scout went on.
"The Underdogs taught me a lot, and trained me. They made it so I had no weaknesses. The 3 keys to not be weak are to Fear no one, Trust no one, and Love no one. You are on your own in this cruel world. And I soon realized that this was the truth. As time went on, I learned to like my new standards. So I just went along with them, and grew close to my team mates. Against my own will of course....to some points." she said again, stopping short as not to reveal what else went on when she was with her former team.
"Scout..I had no-" Ray was interupted by Bobby barging in the door.
"Ah! There you two are! Welp, Dinner's ready! So come on! Scout, I bet your hungry!" he said Cheerfully. on Ray. We'll talk later I guess." Scout said, Getting up from the computer chair and walking out with Bobby.
Ray just sat on his bed for a while, trying to take in everything that Scout had told him. It hurt him so much that she had went through all that, and had suspected that they had done a lot more with her than what she had told him. He sighed, getting up from his bed and heading downstairs to eat with everyone else.
"We need to find that girl!" Came the voice of Darius Black, as he sat at the head of the table while his lackeys sat there with their heads down.
"You let her get away again! Sin City Uptowners are supposed to be better than that! I thought I had created a team of trustworthy superiors, but then again here they are and they can't even catch a child!" he said, rage in his voice.
Then, a tall italian man got up from where he was sitting, and started to speak.
"Boss, what do you want us to do about it now? She's gone to only god knows where, and we cant search the whole city at night. First of all, the Underdogs wont let us anywhere near her. You know how powerful they-"
"What side are you on, Max?" said Darius.
"The Sin City Uptowners, sir, but-"
"Dont doubt your team ever. I should have you killed for that, its a form of treason."
The man nervously sat back down in his seat.
"Yes sir. Im sorry sir. It'll never happen again sir."
Just then, A woman stood up from the middle of the table.
"Sir...why exactly are we going through all this trouble, just for one girl?" she asked.
"This girl means something to everyone...shes valuble. She also is gifted with 2 of the most dangerous powers ever. If we have her on our side, we'll be unstopable.." he said, with a wide grin on his face.
"She doesnt look to bright to me." said The man who stood up before.
"But then again Max, What do you know?" said Darius, flatly.
"I suppose so, sir." he said, not wanting to offend his boss.
