"No!" She cried, running to the bars and grabbing them, panic falling upon her. "Please, don't leave me here!"

Thorn turned back to her with a smile. “Don’t worry! More than likely what will happen is I’ll wait until I need energy and come back to feed on you.“ She said as she walked out.

Thalia slunk down onto her knees, pressing her forehead against the cold bars. I can't even save one person, she thought shamefully. I let myself be lured down here and now tons of people are going to die. I can't do anything about it. She tried one last time to use her power, but nothing happened. I'm sorry, she said silently.

Thorn exited the catacombs and began to head home. It was nice not having the feeling that the superhero was following you. She slipped into the apartment. She knew most of the time Thalia got home later than her so hopefully she would have some time. She changed and washed up before changing back into her regular clothes. Thalia still wasn't home. She was usually back by this hour. Thorn brushed it off as her having to work late or she missed the bus.

Thalia sighed, trying to summon her power. Faint light appeared from her hands but quickly burned out. She had to escape, she had to…but how? She tried shaking the bars of the door, which she could barely see, but they wouldn't budge. She lay on the cold hard floor, staring up at the ceiling, trying to fall asleep, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she kept hearing sounds in the darkness. Shuddering, she clenched her eyes closed.

A few more hours ticked by and Thorn began to get worried. She knew about the bad things that went on in the streets of (pick a city name) especially since she had taken part in most of it. She had already texted and called Thalia about a million times but no response. She began to get worried. She would never admit it aloud but she had began to get a small crush on Thalia. She huffed and got changed back into her outfit. She had to go looking for her.

It felt like days had passed, but it had only been a few hours. Thalia's cheek was pressed against the concrete floor. She had tried desperately to sleep but was haunted by visions of her lying dead and rotting in this cold cell, worms crawling in and out of her body. A few hot tears dropped from her face onto the floor and she curled up, holding her knees to her chest.

Thorn headed to the streets. She first checked her work, then all her classes, then the ways she walked home, her other friends houses, her favorite places, every bus stop she would be at. There was no sign of her. Thorn headed home defeated.
Thorn began trying to reassure herself that she had gone to her parents, or was staying at a hotel with someone, not dead on the streets. She settled into bed. She laid there for hours, just thinking. She could never sleep after a recent meal.
She thought about Thalia, Supernova, what would be happening out on the streets now, what would happen to anyone if they hurt Thalia, what to do with Supernova, Supernovas identity. She began to feel her self drifting off ever so slightly. She promised herself that once she woke up she would pay a visit to figure out who she was. She wanted to see the real fear on her face. She smiled at the thought as she drifted off.

Morning came, though Thalia wasn't able to tell the difference due to the lack of windows and light, and she pulled herself off the hard concrete floor with a groan. Her neck and back ached, and she placed one hand on the back of her neck, rubbing it. " Ughh.." she groaned, standing up and stretching through the pain. Her stomach growled ravenously. She hadn't eaten since the morning before. This is it, she thought to herself. Im going to start starve down here and die, of she doesn't come and kill me first.

Thorn woke up only about two hours she fell asleep. Technically it was morning. She got up, got dressed and headed outside. It was still early enough that people weren't out so she wouldn't be seen. She began to head into the catacombs. As she navigated her way through the maze she almost began to feel nervous. Why? She eventually got to the room with the cells. She leaned on the opposite wall of the cell.
'”Have a good sleep?” She asked.

A feeling of dread poured over her as Thorn entered the room. "What do you think?" She muttered. "It's hard to get a good night's sleep on a concrete floor."

”I don't care.” Thorn growled. She walked over to the cell and crouched down in front of Supernova.
”What do you look like without that mask? Hm?” She asked, tilting her head as she looked at her.

(I forgot to ask what what Supernova's mask look like. The Demons cover her mouth and nose and her eyes change colors when she has energy.)

"None of your business," she grumbled, touching her mask. She wouldn't let her identity be revealed. She would rather die. She didn't want The Demon to see her face, which was weak and scared. But she wouldn't lose that mask without a fight.

(I can see it)

(*can't)

Thorn made a 'tch' noise and grabbed onto Supernova mind.
"You can either show me or you can have me forcefully rip that mask off your face." She offered.

Thalia winced, but didn't say anything. She felt like screaming for help but didn't give Thorn the satisfaction of seeing her weak. There was no way she would reveal her identity-not to anyone.

Thorn held her still as she reached through the bars of the cage and pulled Supernovas off and dropped it on the ground.
"Thalia?" She asked when she saw her face.
She always showed up later than her when she won and earlier when she lost, why she came home with injuries, why she didn't come home last night, it just made sense now.

Thalia tried to hide her face, but it was no use. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes when she whispered, "How do you know my name?"

Thron stared at Thalia for a bit longer. She sat down with her legs cross in front of the cage.
”Well this complicates things quite a bit.” She said as she slipped off her mask, exposing her face as well. ”Never expected you to be her.”

"Th-thorn?" She sputtered, an expression of confusion and surprise worn on her face. "But you…I.." she couldn't put her emotions into words. Its all ruined now, she thought. I liked Thorn, I wanted to spend my days with her. But now all of that is over. We can never love each other.

Thorn rested her head on her hands trying to figure out what to do. She couldn't leave her here now that she knew it was Thalia and she couldn't let her go because she would either not let her eat or tell the police about her. She groaned and hit her head on the cage bars.
"F#@k." She muttered.

"Are you okay?" Thalia asked worriedly. She honestly didn't know how to react, and now that Thorn knew that she was Supernova, would she leave her down here or let her go? And what was she supposed to do about her, feeding off of people? It was all to confusing for her.
