She rubbed her arms. “I… I don’t know…”

"I'll stay."

Just now, echo74 said:

“You want to save Lillian, don’t you?” she snarled. “Give it.”

Nick sighed and handed the rat over.

"Don't harm him."

She shook her head. She didn’t trust him.

Starlight looked at Five. "I'm not a monster, am I?"

-

She threw her hands up. "I'm not armed! I just need help!"

She smiled. “You’re a human.”

A gangly young man peeked out from behind a tree, holding a plasmatine blaster. He had red hair and many many freckles.

I can do it, though as I said the Machination imitators and/or management failures can pretty much do anything an Author wants. 

And then, something bad did happen. Many somethings, actually. The mirror in front of her had a familiar bird made of ink come up to her reflection. Another mirror had her start to disintegrate. In another, her face simply went blank. In another, rock moving like liquid crept up her legs, trapping her. In another, the world around her began to warp and distort. 
The other three mirrors - which are behind her - have her actively fighting something “in front of” the mirror, being slowly consumed in darkness, and standing there calmly, respectively. 

Rebus’s face hardened. “A mistake. I can see an accident, even a frustration, but a mistake? Symbol is my closest friend and currently holds your life in her hands, so I would consider your next words very carefully.” 
 

A magnet-burglar ran past the gathering of superheroes, and several gave chase. Rebus went with them, promising he’d be back. 

Rose didnt like what she was seeing. It… disturbed her, but not like… like it should. Some primal fear entered her soul. 

She turned to the calm one. “What’s happening?”

-

Symbol smiled a little, then stopped as soon as she realized she was doing it and wondered if she could undo it before the post was posted. Then she decided she didn’t care anyway and tried to believe that. 

Lady Bug snorted. “Whatever she wants with me, nothing I can say would make her kill me. Or, since I’m apparently not even alive, bring me back.”

“You’re right about that,” Symbol affirmed. “I just need you to agree to some… terms before I free you.”

-

Bat didn’t notice, being down an alleyway, but his Author made a note of it.

"Oh . . . that's just- you're nervous, is all. A little scared."

She shook her head and started towards the train.

"C'mon. Let's go."

-

The bandit narrowed his eyes . . . then climbed down the wall.

-

He nodded.

"I don't feel any particular way about that, so yes, it's alright."

If you're up for it, go ahead. :P

“Okay,” Aden agreed. They were met with more passcode things, but Aden used the one he’d figured out and the train opened. 

-

“Kneel,” Bat instructed, pulling out Illusion, “And I’ll knight you. It won’t hurt a bit, I promise.”

He didn’t know how to feel about this whole situation. 

47 minutes ago, Kajsa said:

“No. No, I don’t like it. And I don’t trust him!!” She pointed a shaky finger at Flint, almost accusingly. 

44 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

He sighed and walked out with her.

"I don't really trust him either . . . if you don't want to go, I won't make you."

Flint hesitated, then ran after them. 

“Wait. Please? I just need you to watch, or I won’t be able to get the amulet, and my sister…” he swallowed.

He frowned. "You know that's not what I meant."

"Please! I just got out of the facility! I can give you anything! Information, location, tactics, the works!"

"A lot," he said simply.

She set the unconscious rat on her shoulder. “Tell me, Nick, what you are doing here.”

The bandit kneeled.

Holt paused.

"Your sister . . . ?"

The interior was kind of bare, but there were seats. 

Aden headed straight for the drivey-room. 

-

Bat tapped his shoulders and nicked him a lil. Then he stepped back. 

Suddenly the bandit saw curves coming from the magnets in Bat’s hand, yellow and orange. But far, far brighter were the “magnetic fields” around Bat. And the bandit. And the people passing by and giving him strange looks. 

“The real magnets,” Bat told him, “are the people around you. Take care of them, love them, and you will find the most important kind of power. You will find Connection.” He held out the magnets, one in each hand, and let go. They snapped together and stayed in the air (as far as the bandit could see). “I hereby appoint you as my ambassador. Stop this foolish endeavor. Magnets, though beautiful, are merely a symbol.”

-

“Yeah,” he whispered.

“Humans make mistakes. You’re not a monster.”

Truth be told, he looked as nervous as she felt. 

“Y- you… escaped?”

Corysande hesitated. “You… you have a sister too?”

“Yeah… if I don’t come back with the bracers, she… she’ll kill me.”

"But-"

-

She turned slowly to look toward him, tears filling her eyes.

"I was a soldier. I had a brother I think... but I'm not sure. They didn't erase me like the other five experiments. I helped them willingly, but I didn't know what it would entail. I've done so many things... so many horrible things..."

Her eyes widened. “Oh…”

He looked away, clearly uncomfortable with the topic. 

Just now, Dabi said:

She waited. 

-

He stared at her, not sure what to do. Subconsciously, he lowered his weapon.

"I- I hurt people. So many. I'm not even that old. I can't keep lying to you. Veronica wasn't the first person I killed. I... I've done so many horrible things..." he said, choking with tears filling his eyes

-

"I need help to find another one. He may be my brother, I'm unsure. But regardless, we bonded. That torture we went through..." she said, looking down at the ground. "Please. Help me find him."

She touched his arm. “It’s okay.”

-

“I…” he glanced backward. “Follow me.”

He dashed off to his left, her right.

“I—I have a sister, too.”

“What’s she like?”

Irie grabbed his arm.

"What, you know how to drive a train all of the sudden?"

-

The bandit seemed confused.

"So . . . I don't get any cool magnet powers?"

Tam snickered quietly nearby.

"What? Why?"

because you’re trying to fix it.” She pulled him onto the train.

“Just hurry!”

"What? Why?"

“No. Not technically.” Despite her, he ran into the control room and dragged her after him by her hand. 

-

Bat sent a mental glare her way. 

“If you’re diligent, I will someday come again and bestow upon you cool magnet powers.”

-

“Because she hates me. She says I’m useless…”

"Are you sure you want me to stay?"

-

She ran, but couldn't keep up well. She hadn't ran on uneven ground like this in a while. She hadn't left the facility in... who knows how long

"Not technically?! Aden!"

Tam mentally stuck her tongue out at him.

That peaked the thief's interest.

He nodded vigorously.

"Yes! Okay, I will!"

"Oh . . . I'm sorry."

She stopped and stared at him incredulously.

He slowed so she could keep up. “We’re almost there,” he told her.

He grinned. “Oh, come on. How hard can it be?” He walked up to the control panely thingy and pushed the throttle forward. 

For a moment, nothing happened. Then the train’s bright lights turned on.

”Oh, it’s probably THIS one, then.”

-

HAHAHAHA YOU JUST LOVE THAT SPELLING DONT YOU 🤣 

Bat smiled. “Find your fellows and spread the message.”

-

He shrugged. “Whatever. It’s normal.”

2 hours ago, Kajsa said:

“Well… she’s… both of them are away right now.”

“Oh.” 

He looked back at the cave, anxious.

He stared back, locking eyes with her

She slowed slightly, running out if stamina. I’m sure what he least expected was for her to start to float slightly. “Okay,” she said between breaths
