Chapter 6: Breaking in

Deadstar had just arrived in her room and she was feeling guilty as ever. She didn't want to hurt the others, she just wanted to get away from them. All of a sudden she didn't want to stay with Slade and help him. She wanted to go back to them.

"No. This is where I belong" she said as she grabbed her head trying to stop the pain that started coming out of nowhere. Dead slowly made her way to the bed and laid down on it. She slowly closed her eyes and strange images started popping in her mind. It was the day that she had fought Slade. She was in an old basement strapped to a bed. She saw Slade make her drink something. After that, he grabbed a knife and when he was about to pierce it in her head she shot up in bed. Dead was sweating like hell and she was breathing heavily. God what happened to me? She mentally asked herself. She was about to go into the bathroom when she heard a knock on her door. She slowly got up and opened the door to find Red X there.

"Hey Dead. You ok? You look like shit" he asked her as he entered her room.

"Yeah just um… a nightmare" she lied as she closed the door and sat down on the bed next to him.

"Dead you know you can tell me anything. I won't go tell Slade if you don't want me too" he told her as he looked at her.

"You promise you won't tell?" she asked him. He slowly nodded his head a yes.

"Well after we left the Club I heard a woman scream so I went to where I heard it come from. When I arrived I saw a young woman being cornered by three men. I told them to leave her alone but they didn't listen so I used my powers on one of them. I saved her that night and I don't know why. I'm not supposed to help people. I'm supposed to like watching things like this" she said as she looked back at him

"Dead it's ok. You will get used to this. I know it's though not to help others but you have to if you want to change" he told her

"Red that's not all" she said as she stood up and looked over at him. "Right now my head started to hurt really badly. So I quickly got onto bed and closed my eyes. The things I saw felt like…like they where real. I was in an old basement and I was strapped down on a bed. I saw Slade give me something to drink and it wasn't an ordinary drink. Then I saw him taking out a knife and when he was about to pierce it in my head I shot up in bed sweating like hell and breathing heavily" she said "I don't know what's wrong with me" she said with a sigh as she sat back down.

"Dead you're probably gonna be confused but there is a basement here. It's underground and Slade uses it for experiments. It's actually a Lab" He told her

"Can you show me it?" she asked him

"Dead I don't think that's a good idea" Red X told her

"Please Red. I want to know if what happened was real" she told him. He slowly nodded his head and got up.

"Kk. It's highly protected with Slade bots but I think we can go pass them" he told her. "Come on, let's go now" he told her. They slowly made there way to the basement to find out if what Deadstar saw was real. When they where about to open it they heard someone coming down the stairs. They quickly hid behind some boxes so they wouldn't be seen. When they passed by they ran to the door and tried to open it. "It won't open" he told her

"Stand back Red" she told him. He quickly took a few steps back and watched her. She put her hands on the door and pushed it inside. It quickly fell to the floor but Dead caught it before it hit the ground. "Get in" she told him. Red quickly got inside and waited for her till she put it back where it belonged. Once they where inside Dead looked around. It was the exact place in her 'dream'. The bed stood in the middle of it. She quickly went over to it and touched it. "Red this is the place" she told him. She saw a cupboard in the far corner and she quickly flew over to it and opened it. What she found surprised her. It was the same substance Slade had given her. "Red do you know what this stuff is?" she asked him

"Yeah" he said as he picked one up "These are kind of potions Slade makes. They make the person who is injected by them forget things he wants them too forget. I don't know how he does these things but they always work" he told her

"But what would he want me to forget?" she asked herself

"Maybe he wanted you to forget what he had done to you" he told her

"Yeah think you're right. Come on let's look around maybe we can find more things" she told him. They spent hours searching the basement but they didn't find anything useful. At one o'clock in the morning they retired to their separate rooms. Dead quickly got a shower and after she was cleaned she got dressed in a pair of baggy grey shorts and a black tank top. She slowly got under the covers and tried to figure out what Slade had done to her. The only thing she could come up with was that he somehow wanted her to join him. The last thought in her mind before she fell asleep was What did he do to me?
