“Have you met Ride?” He asked quietly, turning his head slightly to Jonah’s voice.
“Have you met Ride?” He asked quietly, turning his head slightly to Jonah’s voice.
He hesitated for a second before responding in a hushed voice. “Yup. And you know what, he’ll come rescue us soon, I know he will!”
“Jonah, he’s… he’s bad. Haven’t you seen what he’s done?”
He sighed in frustration “you’re just like everyone else! He’s not a bad person!”
“I’m calling what I see, Jonah. If I meet Ride then I’ll develop my true opinion on him but for now I’m in the neutral zone.”
“…he only hurts people when he has to. And he never hurts civilians.” He was kinda defensive honestly.
“What’s he like? Personality wise?” He asked quietly, closing his eyes.
“He’s…really nice actually. He makes sure that everyone always gets what they need. He kinda has this tough love thing going on but we all know he’s really just a big softy.” He pauses for a second, his voice more sad now “but he always carries this figurative weight around that no one can ever seem to take. He’s kinda crazy in that way, he takes care of everyone but himself. But yeah…real tough guy act going on. Jeez he’s hard to explain.”
“He sounds… nice. I’d actually like to meet him one day, if I’m ever let out of this place.” Never in a million years didn’t Kyle think he’d say that but from the way Jonah was describing him… he didn’t sound all that bad.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be here soon. Knowing him he should be here within a day maybe two.”
“A day! That’s still too long…” His mind drifted to Caleb and wondered if he would be worried.
“Well he has to make it look random. If he gets here too soon then they’ll think he’s after one of us specifically or that he has inside information somehow.”
“I guess that’s true,” He sighed and rubbed at his face, “Sadly.”
“Don’t worry! Everything’s gonna be okay!” He said with such optimism that it must have been him that jinxed the whole scenario. Because less than a minute later two scientists walked in. You can see Kayla shrink back a few inches, fear present in her gaze. Jonah fell silent.
Kyle looked up at the two and frowned, staying still where he sat, “What do you want?”
No one said a word. The two scientists just grabbed Kayla, dragging her out. She didn’t even try to resist.
Kyle watched wordlessly with everyone else, a frown still etched into his features.
As soon as they were gone, Jonah let out a choked sob “they don’t even think of us as real people!”
“Shh, it’s okay,” Kyle tried to keep his voice from wobbling, “We’ll get out of here.”
Jonah was still crying quietly. This was what he hated most about being able to hear people’s thoughts. There was no room left to doubt how bad someone really was when you could hear their train of thought.
My,e frowned and stood on shaky legs, walking over to the lock on the door. He could try and freeze it off… maybe he could do something like the titanic? He could try using sub-zero levels but he’d never done that before. He was at a loss.
Jonah was curled up into a ball, desperately casting his thoughts out for anyone familiar.
((Wanna do a timeskip?
(Sure, to when?)
((Maybe a day so the poor babs can get rescued?
(Sure, sounds like a plan)
