AN: Thanks for continuing on. This one's a bit shorter but still longer then I think the average word length will be for me. In this chapter we learn where the rest of the gang is.

Jade's POV

"We want you to join Hollywood Arts."

I almost burst out in a laugh, but the agonizing pain in my ribs stopped me. They're crazy they want me to join their clown club? No sirey bob. I can't see myself going around helping cats down tress and old ladies cross the street. I need action I need fun. I'm not going to join their little troop of girl scouts.

"Before you reject our offer please let me finish." I cross my arms over my chest expecting a long lecture which I receive. "Hollywood Arts is not only a school, but a community for all super powered humans to work together. We have started a new program for villains who are to be reformed. They plan on staying with a trustworthy member of HA and teach the rules regulations and 'arts' of the society." I'm only partly paying attention instead I'm thinking of a tune. Humming and singing always helps me think better. I was currently thinking of how to escape. I suspected we were on an island since I can see the horizon not to far and haven't heard a single car horn from the open window. If I am on an island then escaping is useless, where would I go? I turn my attention back to Dr. Casam.

"This isn't an option is it?" I say quickly not trusting the man for a moment.

"It's this or jail." Dr. Casam smirks before standing up. "I'll leave you to think about it." He said before walking out. I hate jail. I hate the small spaces, I hate the beds, I hate the food, I hate it all. I lost it after a few days and thankfully was broken out. I'm not going back to jail. I glance at Tori who has been oddly quit. Looking closer I notice the remnants of tears on her cheek. She's looking hard out the window and I'm wondering what she's thinking off. I tap my foot on the floor waiting for the ever so gracious Doctor to return. I suspect he hasn't left for me to decide it's an easy enough decision. He does return and looks at me expectedly.

"How do you know I won't just run off?"

"There will be an agent on you at all times. Keeping an eye on you and keeping you in check. She or he will be free to punish you any way they think necessary." I almost kick him. I'm not some dog you can just scold for barking at a bird. I think of some of the crazies that work with him and frown.

"Who will that agent be?" he takes this as an 'I agree and will join the program' because he smiles.

"We're not exactly sure ye-"

"I can." Torus interrupts, coming back to the land of the living. "I can."

"Perfect. It's settled then. Tori you can take Ms. West back to your apartment." She nods and bows again before opening the door for us to go. We leave the surprisingly large building and head to another one not too far away. Tori kept her eyes on me at all times as if expecting me to run. Instead I do the opposite I walk over to the dark gray building labeled 'Living Quarters.' Of course we're not leaving the island. Otherwise they'd cuff me. That answers that question. I rub my side deciding to go to sleep as soon as we get there. Tori leads me to the elevator and punches in her code to go to whichever level she lives on.

"Who died?" It was a joke to lighten up the mood but Tori's face is hard and she stares forward finally the elevator stops with a jerk and a ding and opens.

"Cat. Cat died." She chokes out. I catch my breath "She was hit by your stupid laser." She walks out of the elevator before I can reply stopping at a door marked 8342. She slips a key in and types a code in. I miss the first number but the others are 8930. She pushes the door open. "Make yourself at home. I'll be back." She hastily shuts the door behind me. The hallway is long and at the end is another door this one with another lock that wasn't locked. I pushed it open; the room was rather large with a couch and a love seat, a coffee table, a rather small TV. Past that was the kitchen and then a hall way which I assume leads to her bedroom. Sitting on the couches was Andre and another rather hot looking guy. I think his name is Beck, he also worked for HA but he wasn't a field agent like Tori.

They both turn to me in confusion and shock. Andre flashed into action first starting to send a burst of wind at me it was easy for me to dodge and I can tell he wasn't ready at all. Beck shoots what seems like a giant sheet of metal at me that I blast a hole through. I really don't want to do this right now but I play it up and throw a punch at Beck. He raises an arm and blocks me from hitting him. His forearm is pressed agents mine in a battle of strength which I know perfectly well I will lose. I light up my hands. His eyes flicker between my face to my glowing hands then back at my face. I know he can feel the heat because he pulls back and strips a piece of metal off Tori's microwave and forms it to a point and starts shooting them at me. I jump backwards because Andre is adding speed to them. My lit hands are burning any metal that comes within range. As quick as they started they stopped. I look over to them to see there is ice over their shoulders stopping them from attacking any more. I see Tori behind me and realize my feet are frozen. My hands go out as I pull my feet off the ground. I think she had yelled at us to stop before she joined in but I was too into the fight to hear her.

"Guys, Jade has agreed to join the reformatory program and is my guest." She says slowly as if she would scare them. I scoff at the word agreed but am ignored.

"Are they crazy?" Beck hisses. "This reforming project is going to blow up in their faces." I roll my eyes at him finding him to be annoying even if I do agree.

"I know but I agreed to it." The Latina's eyes shift to see some of her appliances were ripped up and burned. "Beck! You ruined my stuff." The boy runs a hand through his hair. I bet he's the type to have a cabinet full of hair products. The type who can hook up with any girl he wants. I've seen him and Robbie in a newspaper before. Beck is one of HA's mechanics and Robbie is one of the computer nerds. I remember the article I had read while my boss was rambling to me. Robbie is an awkward boy I haven't actually met face to face but he seems to be the type to prefer to stay behind a computer. I doubt I'll meet him.

"I thought we were being attacked." Beck says with a frown. Tori rolls her eyes but instantly forgave him. "They're insane for trusting her." He says glancing at me. I leaned up agents the back of the red love seat silently wondering where Tori kept her Advil. Andre says something about second a chance which almost made me roll my eyes and they make up some sort of excuse before they leave. Torus finally turns to me.

"I'm sorry about them, did they hurt you?"

"No." I say quickly. "Do you have any Advil?"

"You just said they didn't hurt you."

"I hurt myself during the fight back at Blackwood's warehouse." I explain quickly." She passes me a small bottle of Advil. I take two before tossing it back to her and head over to her fridge for a glass of water. "Is he in jail?"

"Who? Dr. Blackwood?"

"No, Spiderman." Tori frowns at me.

"Yeah. He's in jail."

"Be a good host and show me to my room."

"Jade, I really am so-"

"Save it, Vega. I'm fine." She showed me to the bathroom and my room

"There should be some cloths in the closet and towels in the bathroom. Tell me if you need anything." I shower and put on a lose tank top and baggy sweatpants before collapsing on her bed. I turn on the radio that was beside the bed flipping through some repetitive pop songs before coming across a good station. I lay back in the bed one hand slightly heated and rubbing my hurt side. I know exactly what my boss would say if he could talk to me.

"Get to know her, let her guard down then destroy her. Learn all the weakness of HA so we can take over." He tried to get me to do so before but I refused. Dr. Blackwood hates jail more than I do. He's rather short and always picked on. I smile at that thought. I should be figuring out where the heck I am but I can't get up. My head is starting to hurt and the pain killers aren't helping. I hear a faint buzzing in the back of my head. I must have hit my head on something. I think simply falling asleep to the song playing on the radio.

You will see someday, that all along the way, I was yours to hold

"Jade. Jade! Jade!" someone's shaking my shoulders. I open my eyes slowly to see none other than Tori disturbing my slumber. I groan and roll over. "Come on get up jade."

"Go away." I then realizing I hear a buzzing again but it's louder and sharper. I push myself up and look at Tori.

"It's the fire alarm. Come on." She grabs my arm, pulls me up and practically drags me down the stairs and outside to the back of the building, where a crowd was already forming. Who would pull the fire alarm at this ungodly hour? I think dimly before hearing a small voice.

"Someone set it off." I turn my head to the left to where the voice came from. We're in the parking lot waiting for the okay to go back in. I'm surrounded by people but no one who seems to be talking to me or who seems to fit the voice. Shaking my head I turn my attention to a security guard who tells us we can go back in and that there is no fire.

The song I used was Yours to Hold by Skillet
