I created this story before in my Google Docs but somehow it got deleted so I had to create it again. I don't remember everything that I wrote which bums me out a lot but at least I remembered the plot and I could go from there. Let me know if you like it!
Charlotte woke with a groan. A splitting pain erupted from her head and caused her to wince. She tried to open her eyes but the light just made the pain in her head worse. She took a deep breath and counted to three before she forced her eyelids to open up.
She looked around and saw that she was in a big box. The top and bottom side of the box were metal while the rest was glass. There was a door that had a metal walkway attached to it. The path led to the floor of a building she didn't recognize.
Charlotte made a move to get up but found that she was restricted. She looked down and saw that she was in a metal chair, hands bound to the arms. Her thighs were bound down by the seat of the chair. There were no legs to the chair, though, leaving her legs free and her feet planted firmly on the ground. The chair was held up by two long poles coming down from the top of the box and connecting to the back of the chair. Weird.
As Charlotte's vision adjusted, her eyes began to focus on her surroundings more. She looked through the clear glass and was met with a blue sky. Weirder. She leaned her body to look down through the glass and saw that she wasn't on the ground. Actually, she was nowhere near the ground.
The girl's mind went haywire from that moment on. She had been afraid of heights ever since she went on that roller coaster with Henry. She already wasn't a big fan of being away from the beautiful, sweet earth but Henry persuaded her to join him. Turns out the ride was having some technical difficulties so when they went on a loop, they got stuck halfway. Upside down. For ten whole minutes.
It was the most traumatizing experience Charlotte had ever had.
"Okay. This is okay. Everything's fine. I'm just, um, not on the ground. In the sky. Thousands of feet in the air. Everything is perfectly fine." Charlotte thought. Full on conversations with herself in her head were definitely her favorite coping mechanism.
Charlotte willed the bile to stay down whilst she continued observing her surroundings. Her eyes searched the floor presented in front of her. She saw a lithe figure tweaking a large control panel. The figure was dressed in a black high-low trench with a red and black belt wrapped around her waist.
The figure turned around and Charlotte gasped at the sight of the person's face.
Gwen.
Henry exited the elevator and entered the ManCave. He had already finished his shift at Junk N' Stuff and hadn't had anything else to do so he decided to see if he was needed.
"Hey Ray." Henry asked.
"Hey kid, 92...93...94," Ray breathed out.
Henry saw the grown man lifting 100 pound dumbbells while Shwozz timed how long. Ray was barely sweating as he counted how many curls he did.
"95...96...97...98...100!" Ray dropped the dumbbells and bowed. "And that my friends is how it's done."
"Dude," Henry deadpanned, "you totally skipped a number."
"What? No I didn't." Ray countered.
"Yes you did. You didn't say 99."
"I know what I said, kid. '96, 97, 98, 100.'"
"Dude, you just did it again!" Henry spoke.
"Okay kid, obviously, you're death because I definitely know how to count."
"Death? Do you—do you mean deaf?!" Henry sputtered.
"Yeah, that's what I said."
"Unbelievable. You know what? Never mind."
A beeping went off suddenly and Shwozz ran over to the ManComputer. Henry looked around for his best friend but couldn't find her.
"Hey, where's Charlotte?" he asked.
"No idea. She never came in today." Shwozz spoke, accent very present.
Weird. Usually Charlotte's always "present and punctual" as she likes to say. It's odd that she's not here.
"It's a video call. Oh! Maybe it's that hot reporter you went out with." Shwozz said.
"Play it." Ray stated as he and Henry popped a bubble into their mouths to get in uniform. Ray was quickly trying to fix his hair as he waited for the reporter's call.
Shwozz hit the reply button on the keyboard and waited for the connection to stabilize.
"Well, hello there Captain Man and Kid Danger. Or should I say Ray Manchester and Harry Hart." a feminine voice spoke, a smirk evident on her face.
"Uh, actually it's Henr—" Henry started.
"Gwen." Ray growled.
"Oh and I almost forgot!" Gwen turned the camera around to focus on a glass like box, revealing a person trapped inside, "Special guest: Charlotte Bolton."
Okay you guys already know that I DO NOT proof read before publishing so R&R and give some feedback and critiquing. Hopefully there will be a part 2! Oh and I have a question. Is Charlotte's last name Bolton or Page.
