Sienna’s POV

“Good.” Sienna ate a bit more, lapsing into silence. “Darling, I’ve been meaning to ask you, why have you sought me out?”

Ae-Ri was careful to keep her tone flat and emotionless. “With all due respect, we need to get going. Thank you for your time, there will be no interviews.”

Alecs POV
Alec smile slowly dissipated as the reporter kept talking, despite Ae-Ri’s words. “You really don’t know, but I guess that makes sense, he was a high class villain when he started out.” The reporter said smugly. “He’s the human electric chair. Haven’t you heard of the Sleeping Blackouts. The rich couple who got put into comas.”

Opals POV
“Well, because it was me who let you get away last night, when I chose not to help Win- Firefly and Mirage.” Opal said, finishing off one of her fries. “And I need to capture you because of that.”

“I can’t say I believe you, Opal. But I also don’t think you remember our second little visit last night, do you?” Sienna teased, taking a long sip of water.

Opals POV
Opals face flushed to a scarlet red, “Well yeah, but that’s why I didn’t help them; because I thought you were too nice to be a villain.”

Winston forced himself to glow brighter, unsure how bright he was actually glowing st the moment. Im never going to get into art school. Ma’s gonna have to take off work to take care of me. I’ll never see Opal or Ae-Ri again… A flood of panicked thoughts filled Winnie’s head. He looked up towards where he heard Remedy’s voice, blood trickling down his forehead from a cut he received during the fall.

Anthony

Anthony winced as harsh, painfully bright light flooded the space. “Are you stuck?” he yelled down, “If not, stand. I’m sending a grotesque down for you, climb onto its back.”

Alecs POV
Alec smile slowly dissipated as the reporter kept talking, despite Ae-Ri’s words. “You really don’t know, but I guess that makes sense, he was a high class villain when he started out.” The reporter said smugly. “He’s the human electric chair. Haven’t you heard of the Sleeping Blackouts. The rich couple who got put into comas.”

Ae-Ri’s voice was frighteningly cold when she next spoke. “If you don’t stop harassing me, I can and will report you to the police. You’ve got roughly ten seconds to leave us both alone before I do exactly that.” She lifted a finger and hovered it over her comm button, waiting.

Winston’s POV

“I can stand.” Winston responded. He can’t know. No, there was no way Winston was going to let Remedy think he was even weaker than he already was. What if the boy left him here to rot? He was useless now anyways. Would anyone even come for him. “Can y’all come down the stairs or is it not safe anymore?”

Alecs POV
Alec smile slowly began to return at the reporters next few words. “Aghk, fine, but don’t think I won’t be following up.” He finished as he started to walk away.

“Thanks Mirage,” Alec said, his normal demeanor starting to emerge again. “You really saved my bacon, I knew I could count on you.”

Opals POV
Opals face flushed to a scarlet red, “Well yeah, but that’s why I didn’t help them; because I thought you were too nice to be a villain.”

Sienna’s POV

“Trust your heart for once.” Sienna coaxed, smiling gently at Opal. “The World Guard has viewed everything as black and white for ages. It’s not like that at all. We could help each other, darling. Really save the world instead of playing these games.”

Alecs POV
Alec smile slowly began to return at the reporters next few words. “Aghk, fine, but don’t think I won’t be following up.” He finished as he started to walk away.

“Thanks Mirage,” Alec said, his normal demeanor starting to emerge again. “You really saved my bacon, I knew I could count on you.”

Ae-Ri

Ae-Ri snorted loudly. “Don’t thank me, I’m impatient to find my friend. We need to search the Mexican places before we leave.” She eyed him closely—could everything the reporter said be true?

Opal POV
“But this isn’t a game to me,” Opal said, more sternly then she had meant to. “I just can’t agree to the ends justifying the means, because some people can justify anything.” She finished softly.

Winston’s POV

“I can stand.” Winston responded. He can’t know. No, there was no way Winston was going to let Remedy think he was even weaker than he already was. What if the boy left him here to rot? He was useless now anyways. Would anyone even come for him. “Can y’all come down the stairs or is it not safe anymore?”

“We’ll see about that,” Anthony muttered, watching anxiously as one of his strongest grotesques scaled a support beam and landed beside Winston. “Climb onto its back, alright?”

Sienna’s POV

“And that’s why they labelled me as a villain, darling. It’s discouraging to see that even you would cast me aside like this.” Sienna sighed, leaning back and closing her eyes for a moment.

Alecs POV
“You’re right.” Alec said, breathing in a sigh of relief, she seemed to have glossed over what the Reporter has said. “We’ll be coming up on this place right now, it called Panchi’s or something, in a couple of minutes.”

Winston’s POV

Winnie let out an alarmed yelp as a loud noise crashed down beside him. After listened to Anthony’s instructions, he realised it was a grotesque coming down to rescue him. He got to his feet, wobbling from fear as he stumbled towards the sound, reaching out blindly in hoping of finding the creature.

“I’m not casting you out.” Opal said quietly, “I just don’t believe that because something can be justified, that is right. That’s just too close to Machiavellianism. The belief that no matter what the ends will always justify the means.”

Anthony’s POV

A frown formed on Anthony’s lips as he watched Winston closely. He seemed to be fumbling around, as if immersed in darkness, but.. he was glowing brighter than ever before. Was it anxiety? Shock? Or something else.

Slowly but surely, the grotesque carried him back up the support beam and set him down a safe distance from the hole.

Alecs POV
“You’re right.” Alec said, breathing in a sigh of relief, she seemed to have glossed over what the Reporter has said. “We’ll be coming up on this place right now, it called Panchi’s or something, in a couple of minutes.”

Ae-Ri’s POV

“Lead the way..” she sighed, activating her comms.

“This is Mirage, reporting back to Mission Control. We’ve narrowed down the search and are heading to a potential location. Any updates?”

“Mirage, this is Sahara,” came the reply, and Ae-Ri couldn’t help but smile at the familiar voice. “No news. Keep us updated.”

Alecs POV
Alec laughed, “Alrighty, if you say so,” Alec said leading the way to the Mexican restaurant. “If you look, you can probably see the top of it there.” He pointed to the top of a few of the nearby buildings. “But you’ll have to take off your mask.”

Winston’s POV

Winston stood where he’d been set down, shaking still from shock. Act normal. Act normal. Act normal. He reinforced the thought, hoping he could pull this off until they got back. His baby blue eyes had become discoloured and were notably glazed over. He wasn’t even sure what to say, shock inhibiting his voice.

Sienna’s POV

“Do you believe I’m evil, Opal?” Sienna stared at the girl across the table from her, unsure of what to make of her.

Opals POV
“No, I don’t think your evil,” Opal said finishing the last of her fries. “But I don’t believe that you’re in the right either.”

Alecs POV
Alec laughed, “Alrighty, if you say so,” Alec said leading the way to the Mexican restaurant. “If you look, you can probably see the top of it there.” He pointed to the top of a few of the nearby buildings. “But you’ll have to take off your mask.”

Ae-Ri

“I can see fine through the visor,” Ae-Ri snapped, peering in the direction he’d pointed. After a moment, she lifted a hand to the metal dragonfly emblem on her chest and pressed it. The three-dimensional image slowly detached from her chestplate, unfolding itself until her little drone was hovering in the air in front of them. “Mexican restaurants?” She told it, “Check them all.”

“So you think I deserved to be imprisoned.” Sienna looked… hurt. She was starting to grow attached her little hero, but of course, fate would never let that happen.

Winston’s POV

Winston stood where he’d been set down, shaking still from shock. Act normal. Act normal. Act normal. He reinforced the thought, hoping he could pull this off until they got back. His baby blue eyes had become discoloured and were notably glazed over. He wasn’t even sure what to say, shock inhibiting his voice.

Anthony’s POV

The healer studied him closely, taking a step closer. “Did you break anything?” he asked, squeezing his voice dry of emotion.
