A/N: Sorry for missing your birthday James I got super busy. Anyway happy belated birthday.

Chapter 18

The Next Day

"So tell me…" Charlotte said as she began to eat, "How did you get this place?"

Dean smirked as he stirred a pan of eggs and looked over his shoulder at the blonde, "This was Rebecca's family vacation home. Quin...Rebecca Quin...not the other one. Her family had this place before they died, they had this place and another home but she sold it to the bank when they died. She decided to keep this place open. Bought the deed and everything with the money her family left her"

"But there's electricity, wifi...there's a TV" Charlotte said confused

"Quin was a genius. That transcended down to all of her personalities. She created a generator for this place, free electricity and no bills. The water is from a filter system that connects to the city's water supply." Dean answered

"But she was only like what 12?" Dean shrugged and nodded, "And she could make a generator that powered all this?"

"Genius" Dean stated again as he placed some eggs onto a plate that already had bacon on it before turning off the stove and moving to sit at the island in front of Charlotte to eat, "Any other questions?"

"Have you ever met The Man?"

"No" Dean frowned, "No...that's new"

Charlotte sighed, "We need to find Nikki Cross. She's the one who created her"

Dean shrugged as he ate, "Well where could she be? We could ask your brother"

"I doubt my brother knows anything about The Man. He wasn't connected to that personality" Charlotte said, shaking her head as she ate a forkful of eggs.

"It couldn't hurt to ask. I mean if your brother is a big bad evil villain, he probably knows a lot. A lot more than what we asked last night." Dean said as he pointed his fork towards Charlotte.

"Yeah I guess" Charlotte said with a sigh causing Dean to frown

"You alright? I mean with everything going on?" He asked

Charlotte gave a short chuckle before shrugging, "How can anyone be alright in this situation? We're wanted criminals now. Our teammate is stuck in a crazy personality that wants to kill my brother and us. So we have to stop her and get her back to normal and we have to stop Shane McMahon from getting rid of powers all together"

"I mean...would that really be such a bad thing?"

"What?"

"No more powers?" Dean asked with a shrug, "No powers means no super villains. Cops can actually do their jobs and handle bad people and everyone would go back to being normal. Also, that would eliminate The Man's powers as well, no powers mean she's just Rebecca again. It would be easier to stop her"

Charlotte paused and thought for a second before she said, "What happens then? People won't like that their powers are gone. Things will be weird and unstable. Our whole government is based around powers"

"But it wasn't always." Dean insisted, "My mom used to tell me stories that her grandmother told her...we lived without powers. Everything was fine. We could get back to that again"

Charlotte looked over Dean for a second, "Why are you pushing this idea...I thought you liked your powers?"

Dean sighed and sat back in his chair and ate until he said, "My powers are killing me. You know that. Becky probably told you."

Charlotte nodded, "Yeah but...I thought you were okay"

Dean carefully stood and shrugged off his leather jacket revealing black lines on his arm that seemed to follow the path of his veins causing his right arm to look pale and sickly, "This started happening a while ago. I pushed it too hard on a mission with The Shield and I've had these black lines slowly building up my arm."

Charlotte's eyes widened in shock as she leaned forward and ran a finger along his veins, "Oh my God Dean! This is bad! You need to go see someone! Have you told Becky?"

Dean shook his head, "No. I didn't need that I told you so from her. Besides she not really Becky right now"

Charlotte sat back down on her chair and looked at the boy as he pulled his jacket back on before she thought about what he said. She frowned before asking, "Can I ask...about you and Rebecca? The first one...what was she like?"

Dean smiled, "She was such a dork. She was always smiling and dancing, even though she was horrible at it...and her laugh was so infectious."

"You loves her"

"Of course. I knew as soon as I saw her for the first time" Dean said with a bashful smile, "I wish she was still around"

Charlotte frowned, "Wha...what exactly happened?"

Dean frowned and started at his plate before he said, "I already told you. Becky got rid of her, she created some serum that suppressed Quin and Knox."

Charlotte's frown deepened and she could tell that Dean didn't want to talk more about it. The blonde nodded more to herself and let them sit in silence as they finished up their food before Sasha slowly strolled into the kitchen. The purple haired girl tiredly wiped her eyes and yawned as Dean stood and made Sasha a plate.

"Hey" Charlotte said as Sasha sat down, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good" Sasha said, waving off the blonde's questioning look while Dean places a plate of food in front of her, "Thanks. So what's on the agenda for today?"

"Well I'm going back to the compound. I'll see if I hear any news on you guys or Becky" Dean said

"And what about us?" Sasha asked, "What are we supposed to do here?"

"You guys should hang back. Lay low for a bit. I'll head to the school and see if there are any updates on Becky" Dean started, "I mean you guys are wanted...WWE has people looking for you. You can't really go anywhere. At least not in the daylight"

"But we didn't do anything!" Sasha said angrily

"I know that but everyone else doesn't" Dean said with a shrug

"Dean is right" Charlotte said with a sigh, "Go head back...we don't need anyone getting suspicious of you"

Dean nodded and walked out, leaving Sasha and Charlotte in the kitchen. After a few minutes Sasha looked at the blonde across from her and asked, "are we seriously just gonna sit here while Becky is who knows where and Shane is getting ready to get rid of all powers?"

Charlotte didn't respond for a while she just stood there thinking before she finally said, "can't do much about Becky or Shane right now. I think we should question my brother some more. Then we can do so research and some digging and then once it's night we'll head out. Our classmates are trapped in TNA...we have to go get them"

Sasha rolled her eyes, "Fuck them"

"Sasha!"

"What? They don't like us, they were jealous of us and now look where they are...trapped in TNA. Well I say good riddance"

Charlotte rolled her eyes, "we're going to get them...end of discussion"

Sasha said nothing at this and continued to eat her eggs before Bayley slowly walked into the kitchen, "Good morning"

"Hey Bayley" Charlotte greeted before looking over to Sasha who silently ate, "how are you feeling?"

Bayley gave a small smile as she sat down next to Sasha causing the purple haired girl to look over at her with wide eyes before looking down at her plate, "I'm fine. Where did Dean go?"

Charlotte noticed Sasha's awkwardness but decided against saying anything, "He's heading back to the school."

Bayley nodded, "Makes sense. He can't stay here forever. People will get suspicious"

"Yeah. He said he would keep an ear out for any news on Becky or us" Charlotte added, "I was thinking we question my brother some more and then do some research until it gets dark. Then we can break into TNA and rescue the rest of our classmates"

Bayley nodded, "Okay"

Sasha rolled her eyes at the idea of saving their classmates but said nothing else. Charlotte watched them for a second before she excused herself, leaving the two to talk alone. Charlotte slowly walked around the cabin until she came to the door that led down the steps to the basement. She looked towards the kitchen where she could now hear a quiet conversation happening between her two friends before she quietly opened the door and descended down the steps.

The stairs were a straight shot down to a plan door that led into a large room. The basement wasn't really a basement, it was really a lab that Becky built. It had a bunch of chemistry sets, computers and beakers. All of which were covered in dust from nobody using them in a long time.

Charlotte ran hand finger along the dust covered tables as she made her way to the back of the room, stopping when she saw her target. There her brother sat tied to a chair with rope while tape on his mouth.

"Morning" Charlotte said causing Reid to look up at her before she pulled the piece of tape off his mouth

"Ow" Reid complained before he muttered, "What no breakfast? You plan to starve me down here?"

Charlotte rolled her eyes, "You'll get breakfast...once you give me some answers"

Reid raised an eyebrow at his sister before saying, "I already gave you answers"

"Well I want to know about my classmates"

Reid shrugged, "What about them?"

"How did they get sent to TNA. How did they switch places with Megan and David?" Charlotte asked as she pulled up a chair and dragged it over so she could sit down in front of Reid.

The boy looked at her before he smirked and leaned forward a little, "How do you think?"

Charlotte scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Reid"

"No really!" The boy said, cutting Charlotte off, "I want to know how you think it happened. I want to see your little brain work as you try and figure out how I do what I do"

Charlotte looked over her brother, "Tell me…"

Reid just smiled and then leaned back in his chair. The two just stared at each other for a while as Reid refused to speak causing Charlotte to roll her eyes and stand up abruptly before she turned to leave. Reid watched her before shouting after her, "Hey! Where are you going? You just gonna leave me here?"

Charlotte stopped and quickly turned back to look at her brother before saying, "Yep"

"What do you expect me to do down here all day?"

Charlotte smiled before pointing to the ceiling, "Count the cracks in the ceiling. Think about all the shit you've done until you feel like talking and telling me about my classmates."

Reid rolled his eyes, "Your classmates are probably dead for all I know"

Charlotte glared at her brother before she marched back over to him and said, "You better hope they're not. Those are innocent people. They didn't do anything to you."

"They didn't have to!" Reid snapped, "I'm protecting the people that they will hurt in the future"

"They're heroes! We're heroes….we try and help people" Charlotte said, growing angry at her brother's claims

"And how many people will die because of it? How many families will get caught in the wreckage of your...hero work?" Reid yelled, "How do you explain to a child that you killed their mom while trying to save a destroyed bridge"

Charlotte paused and looked at her younger brother as a sudden realization came to her head before saying, "Is this about mom? Because she died like that? Reid it was an accident"

Reid rolled his eyes, "Not everything is about her"

Charlotte frowned and looked at her brother with a sad look before she sat back down in the chair across from him, "It always was when we were growing up. You protected me, helped me and others because mom always called you her...her hero. THAT'S why you wanted to be a hero. Not to show dad up...not to help people...but because of mom?"

Reid looked at the ground as he fidgeted uncomfortably under Charlotte's accusations. Charlotte leaned forward in her chair and whispered, "Mom's gone. Nothing will bring her back. What happened to her was an accident. It could have happened to anyone Reid. She got caught in the crosshairs, but hundreds of lives were saved that day. CHILDREN were saved, by heroes that I was training under. Heroes that YOU wanted to be like"

"Heros that let her die! Heroes that chose other lives over hers." Reid snapped, "How dare they determine who gets to be saved...the-they're no better than the villains they fight against"

Charlotte shook her head at her brother, "You're wrong"

"Am I? Do you know how many lives would be spared if there were no powers?"

Charlotte rolled her eyes, "A world with no powers is just as dangerous. There are guns, there will still be violence-"

"But there won't be men flying through the city destroying buildings and crashing into cars every damn time someone robs a bank." Reid said seriously, "Honestly...think about it"

Charlotte frowned and slowly stood from her seat before she began to head for the door, only stopping to through back one last comment, "Mom would be so disappointed"

Later That Day

Charlotte and Sasha walked into the living room where Bayley was sitting scrolling through an Ipad, looking at the new reports as of late. The girls had all showered, eaten and planned their rescue operation for their classmates. It was dark now and Charlotte had made contact with Dean as he secretly alerted her that everyone on the compound was on high alert and looking for them. Well not everyone, Dead said that the remaining members of Class 1A were being kept in the dark as they were seen as too close to the situation.

"Hey" Charlotte said to get Bayley's attention causing the brunette to look up and give her teammates a small smile

"Hey...did you guys get anything from your brother?"

Charlotte had gone back down to talk to her brother about an hour ago, this time with Sasha to use her powers to get information out the boy. The blonde nodded, "He told us that Finn is in on it with Shane and the rest of the engineering students."

"What?!" Bayley asked shocked as she abruptly sat up while Charlotte moved to sit in the chair across from her while Sasha sat down on the arm of the couch Bayley was sitting on, "Finn?"

"Yep" Sasha said, "From when he and Becky went off to look at those security tapes. Apparently Shane caught them snooping and gave them an ultimatum. Well he gave Finn one and he just drugged Becky bringing back Rebecca or creating her or whatever. Then later he drugged Finn too and took control of his demon thing or whatever and he-"

"What Sasha is trying to say is that Shane has been using versions of Becky's old serum to isolate their X gene and control them. So Finn is on their side and he was the one who brought half our class to Shane who switched them with those villains in TNA." Charlotte said, cutting off Sasha's half assed explanation.

Bayley looked shocked until she slowly looked at the ground as she thought about the information she was told before her head quickly snapped up, "We have to warn Dean. He could be at that school talking to Finn right now for all we know. He could be in trouble"

Charlotte frowned and shook her head, "We can't"

"Why not?"

Charlotte pulled out her phone and flipped it over to show the circular device on the back of it, "This device hides all incoming calls on my phone and makes it untraceable...but I can't call anyone or else it won't work and someone...more than likely The Man of whoever, can trace us. We can't put Dean at risk like that"

"He's already at risk and what if they track his phone calls?" Bayley said quickly

"Dean's phone is completely untraceable. He said that Becky made it for him and The Shield members for when they went on this undercover mission." Sasha explained causing Bayley to deflate a little and sit back into the couch with a huff, "He's on his own."

With Dean

Dean quickly walked through the halls of the school as looked at his phone quickly before shoving it away in his back pocket just before he turned the corner only to bump into somebody. Dean stepped back and shook his head before looking up to see Finn rubbing his chest in pain.

"Oh! Hey man!" Finn greeted Dean with a cautious smile

"Hey" Dean said before dismissing the boy as he moved to keep walking, only to stop as Finn grabbed Dean's wrist

"Wait!" Finn said, pulling Dean back causing the taller boy to look at him confused

"What?"

Finn looked around before whispering, "Have you seen Becky recently?"

Dean stared at Finn, he knew this boy was friends with Becky, hell he was friends with him too but the two haven't talked in awhile. However, Dean also remembered seeing him and Becky arguing before back when he, Charlotte and the others figured that the two were being brainwashed or blackmailed. For all Dean knew, Finn was working with Shane and was hoping to get information out of him. Too bad he didn't actually know where she was, "No. The last I heard was that something went down with her and some of the rest of class 1A and Shane."

Finn looked Dean up and down, holding his stare for a minute longer before he looked down and scratched the back of his neck, "Yeah...yeah. Look I think they're being set up, and I want to help Becky. So if you know where she is I could help her"

Dean shrugged, "Sorry man. I don't know where she is"

Dean turned to leave but Finn caught his wrist again and gave a small smile before saying, "You expect me to believe that you...Dean Ambrose...Becky's boyfriend doesn't know where she is?"

Dean ripped his hand from Finn's grip and gave him a coy smile back before saying, "I don't know what you want to hear man. I haven't seen her, besides...she's my girlfriend not yours. So don't worry about it"

Finn gave a small chuckle and held his hands up defensively, "Look man. I'm trying to help. Becky and her friends are in big trouble with the higher ups and you could be too if you know where she is. I'm trying to look out for you guys. I mean come on Dean...we're friends"

Dean looked as Finn held out his hand for Dean to shake but the taller boy just crossed his arms and stared at him with a defiant look, "I haven't seen her. Becky's smart...if she's in trouble she would be hiding somewhere. Do you really think she would risk getting anyone else in trouble by telling us where she is?"

Finn paused and thought for a second before he nodded, "You're right...sorry man"

Dean looked Finn over for a second before he slowly nodded and turned to leave. After a few steps Dean felt and hand on his shoulder causing him to roll his eyes, thinking Finn was trying to talk more. Dean turned to look back at the boy but he only saw a dark figure version of Finn standing before him with his hand on Dean's shoulder. Dean knew instantly that this was Finn's Demon and he now knew that his idea was true and Finn was working with Shane causing the boy to sigh before he muttered, "Fuck"

The last thing Dean saw was the demon unlock its jaw and uncoil a long dark tongue.

With Charlotte, Sasha and Bayley

TNA was a large compound, about the same size as WWE, sectioned off on it's own island in the gulf of Mexico surrounded by barbed wire, guards, lazers and five million other death traps to keep villains in and others out. It was like a real life Arkham Asylum, just with more security, even though some villains still managed to was only one way on and off the island and it was by taking the shipping boats which came back and forth bringing food, clothes and other materials for the jail. These boats were the ways that guards got on and off the island and the few news reporters that dared come on the island.

Charlotte slowly stood on the dock looking at Becky's tablet as she mapped out the layout of the compound while Bayley and Sasha waited patiently beside her. The three were dressed in dark clothing with their hair covered by hats and hoodies while a young man nervously stood beside them dressed in a blue suit with short cut hair.

He nervously looked over at the three girls before saying, "I'm Byron."

Bayley looked over and smiled at him politely before giving a small wave, "Hi"

Byron smiled to himself before he shoved him hands in his pockets and looked out at the murky water, "Is this your first time visiting TNA? It is for me…"

Sasha rolled her eyes, "I can tell"

Bayley ignored the comment and waved off his fear, "You'll be fine. They have plenty of security there"

Byron nodded to himself, "yeah...yeah your right. There's no way a...riot will break out and a villain will come and smash my skull in"

The three girls stared at each other for a second before looking at the man as he slowly hyperventilated in his spot beside them. Bayley moved to step closer to him but Charlotte placed her hand on the girl's shoulder and whispered, "Hey...we're supposed to be laying low. He's a reporter"

Bayley paused and sadly nodded as she stepped back and continued to watch the man freak out. Sasha looked over at her girlfriend and sighed when she saw the sad look on her face when tears fell from the man's eyes as he worked himself up. So the girl slowly walked over to him and pulled him up by his shirt collar from his bent over position before sapping, "Hey! Look at me. You're okay"

Byron slowly nodded as his eyes turned purple and he listened to Sasha's words as she kept talking, "You will not die. You're going to go to TNA for..whatever reason you're going and then you're going to get back on the boat and go home. You'll be fine, now get it together, shut up and stop crying for god's sake"

Sasha let go of Byron's shirt and the man slowly nodded as he wiped his eyes and stopped crying, seeming fine now. The purple-haired girl turned back to see Bayley staring at her with hard eyes before she blinked and quickly looked away. Sasha stood there confused before looking back to see Byron's purple eyes as he now happily stood there, following her orders. Sasha sighed as she realised that Bayley was seeing her powers in action again for the first time since she found out about her being behind her father's paralyzed state

. The girl frowned and turned back to Byron, "You can talk...what are you even doing here anyway?"

"I pulled the short end of the stick and got stuck covering a small story about their new security system or something" Byron explained causing Charlotte's head to shoot up

"New security system?"

"Yep, cutersy of Shane McMahon. All high tech and stuff. I heard that they even have robot guards that look like humans and they can detect mutants that way none of them can escape or use mind control on them" Bryon said eagerly

"Fuck" Sasha muttered to Charlotte, "What now?"

Charlotte thought for a second before looking to Byron, "Tell us more about this security system"

"Uh well I talked to the head guard tonight and he said that they have max security, everything is recorded and goes straight to him. There-"

"Tell us more about the whole Shane McMahon robots part" Sasha said cutting to the chase

"Oh...I don't really know. That's why I'm here" Byron shrugged

Sasha nodded and so did Charlotte before the three girls turned into each other to whisper about what to do next. Bayley thought before saying, "Robots from Shane could either mean two things...one, he has Rebecca and she's back to working with him or he stole some of her inventions and sent them to TNA in order to keep the rest of our class from breaking out"

"You think they saw something?" Sasha asked

"Possibly" Charlotte commented, "They wouldn't be locked up if they didn't"

"Unless they just used them to trade places with SAnity and your siblings" Sasha debated causing Charlotte to nod

"That's also an option but I'm going with the first option, and I doubt Shane has Becky or Rebecca. The Man is strong, I doubt he knows where she is. He probably just took her computer and used her inventions...wait" Charlotte trailed off before pulling the tablet back up, "If Becky's inventions were on her computer then they're probably on her tablet too."

Sasha and Bayley looked over the blonde's shoulders as she went through the tablet until she found a few documents with scribbles and pictures modeling human-like robots, "There"

Bayley squinted, "I've seen that before. That's what Becky was working on in her room...but I don't think she finished it"

"She didn't finish her notes either" Charlotte added

Sasha squinted her eyes confused, "That means that Shane had to finish it on his own"

Charlotte shook her head, "I doubt it. Remember...after Shane's accident he has made an invention in years. He has to be using the engineering students."

"Well none of them are as good as Becky. These robots are probably half baked at best"

Bayley nodded and went to say something but stopped when Byron spoke up and cut them off, "Becky? As in Becky Lynch that inventor...hey! Aren't you guys class 1A?"

Sasha looked at Byron before saying, "No..we're just regular people looking for a tour of the facility."

"Oh okay then" Byron said causing Sasha to roll her eyes

"Jez"

"I'm surprised he didn't recognize us earlier" Charlotte said with a shrug just as the sound of a fog horn sounded and a large containment ship pulled up, "alright...let's do this"
