Damon kept a firm hold on Schuyler's arm as they headed down the hall to their rooms. "Are you okay?," he asked. "I didn't want to knock you out, but you were way out of control. We are going to have to work on your power control, you could hurt someone again."
"Hurt someone again?" Schuyler asked bewildered, pulling out of his strong grip on her forearm, "What do you mean?"
"Well, not many people survived after you lost control at the orphanage. I almost didn't make it myself." Damon informed her, and then patiently waited for her to realize who he was.
Schuyler was bewildered. She knew only a handful of people had survived her tornado, and there was certainly no way any of them would know it was her who started it. She looked closer at this mans face and reality struck her. She stopped and grabbed his shoulder, turning him around to face her. "Damon?" she asked "Damon Reeve? Is that really you?"
He looked down at her hands and picked one up, twining her fingers through his. "Yeah," he whispered, a small smile on his face. He looked her in the eye, "Yeah, it is."
Schuyler could barely contain her joy. She jumped at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tight. Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled at her enthusiasm.
Schuyler pulled back to look at him. "I though you were dead," she whispered, tears glistening in her eyes. "I thought I killed you," her voice cracked and she buried her face in his chest, inhaling his familiar scent.
Damon was one of the people she had spent hours crying over, thinking she had killed him. Damon was her best friend. They had met at the orphanage the day she had been brought in and they had been best friends ever since.
Damon pulled her back to take a good look at her face. The tears in her eyes had spilled over onto her cheeks, and a sob rose in her chest. He wiped the tears away with the back of his hand and pulled her back against his chest.
"It's okay," he soothed "I'm hear now, I didn't die."
"B-but I s-saw you," she stammered, "You weren't m-moving,"
"It's okay," he said again "I"m fine, you don't need to worry."
Schuyler took a deep breath and pulled away form his embrace.
"Your right," she said "It's over and your here, now what we need to do is figure out what to do here. Should we stay with this company, or not."
Damon started to say something, but Schuyler cut him off. "Wait, you have to tell me what happened to you! How did you find me, how did you find out about this place?"
Damon pulled Schuyler into his room and sat her on the bed. From there he proceeded to explain how he had awoken in the field in time to see leaving. He had tryed to reach her and stop her power, but the wind was too strong around her and he couldn't get close enough.
"I knew you would go to Toronto," he said "You always said if you could leave the orphanage you would go there."
Schuyler could only nod. She was still amazed that he was here.
"As soon as i got here," he continued, "I looked you up in the phone book. I couldn't believe you lived in that mansion."
"It was left for me in my parents will. I got this and all of their money, which was alot," Schuyler laughed nervously. She was being modest. She still couldn't believe that her parents had so much money in their savings.
"I wanted to go see you as soon as I found out where you lived, but people from this place found me first. They brought me here and gave me a place to stay. I was going to go see you the next day, but they forbade me from seeing you. They said that I could see you when they brought you here. I asked why they brought me here, but they wouldn't answer, they said they would tell me after they got a few more people. I only found out today what they were up to, and I don't know about you, but I don't think I can do this. Taking over the world. Thats ridiculous."
Damon had been pacing around the room as he talked, and just now he turned to face Schuyler. She was fast asleep on his bed. He grabbed the thin blanket off the chair in the corner, and draped it over her. Lying on the floor he whispered: "It's alright Schuyler, You have had a long day. We can talk in the morning."And with that he fell into a deep slumber, happy he had finally found Schuyler.

(Shiptastic moment ahead)
" Awww that was,..... kinda cheesey. I'm just kidding." Alex said as he leaned back on his pillow.
" Ha ha, very funny," Trist retorted sarcastically," now seriously, I think you should leave Evotech, we can both escape." he added more seriously.
" I can't do that, it's my father's company..........or could I. If I did, I'd have to sleep on it." Alex stated as he began to drift off to sleep. Before he knew is Alex was sleeping, and Trist was asleep aswell with Alex's arms wrapped around his waist.

Schuyler was back at the orphanage, and the storm she had brewed was causing destruction everywhere. In front of her was her sister, staggering towards her. Her hands blocked her face as she struggled against the fierce winds. The storm was carrying pieces of the orphanage all over. A piece of wood struck Schuyler's sister's side and she fell to her knees. Another one of the flying objects slammed into her face, knocking her unconscious.
Schuyler woke with a start. Questions tumbled through her mind. Was her sister really at the orphanage? Did Schuyler's tornado really almost kill her? But most importantly, was Stryker right? Was her sister safe?
Schuyler dabbed at the tears in her eyes. She knew she had a sister. But she thought she had killed her along with the rest of her family. A sob rose in her chest as the rest of the tears in her eyes spilled onto her cheeks. She had almost killed her own sister, twice. But more upsetting was the fact that her sister had been alive all these years and she never knew. Why had her sister never contacted her? -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Damon awoke to the sound of low sobs. He looked onto the bed and saw a pile of shaking covers. He gently put his hand on what he hoped was Schuyler's shoulder.
"Are you alright?" he asked her.
Schuyler's popped up from under the covers, her head shaking.
"What's wrong?" he asked, concern thick in his voice.
"M-my sister, s-s-she was at the o-orphanage, w-wasn't s-s-s-she?" Schuyler said, her voice wavering.
Nodding, Damon got up and sat on the bed, pulling Schuyler into his arms.
"She had tried to reach you as well," Damon explained "but before she could reach you, she was hit by part of the orphanage your tornado picked up. After you left, when I was able to get up myself, I went over to see if she was alright," pulling back to look at Schuyler he continued, "She wasn't breathing, Schuyler, I did everything I could, but she was gone."
"Your wrong," Schuyler said, shaking her head. "Stryker said that she was alive. She made it Damon! Somehow she made it!" Hope stirred in her chest. No matter how terrible this Evotech was, if she stayed she could see her sister again. She told this to Damon.
"But do you really want stay. You would have no choice but to do as they say, no matter how terrible. They only want to control the world, Schuyler, they don't really care for you. Just imagine the kind of things they would make you do." Damon said. "How much are you willing to do for a sister that might not even be alive." Damon knew he was being harsh, but Schuyler didn't truly understand the things Stryker could make her do. Especially with that power of his to back him up.
"I have to see her, Damon," Schuyler said. The hope began to disappear though. Schuyler knew she had to see her sister, but how much was she willing to do to see her.
Sighing, Damon drew away from Schuyler. "We should get some sleep, we have to get up again in about 3 hours."
"Your right, I'm sorry I woke you up." Schuyler apologized.
"It's alright, just think about what I said. If you choose to leave this place, I will gladly help you find your sister," Damon said, sliding off the bed and onto the floor.
"Thanks," Schuyler said lying down.
"No problem," Damon murmured, slipping back into a deep sleep.

After Mix finished getting a breather she knew she had to escape somehow but how? She grabbed all her stuff and returned to her room, she placed the blanket and pillow back in the room. She thought how to escape over a couple times they could most likely find her even if she did attempt to escape so she thought maybe she would ask for help from some of the other people here. She paced back and forth in the hallways deciding who to ask help from maybe a person on the inside she thought? Maybe that Alex guy his own boss attacked him maybe he wouldn't mind to help. Trist seemed to trust him and all. Finally after pacing around for what felt like hours to her Mix finally decided to knock on Alex's door. Even though it was the middle of the night when better to escape more people would be asleep. So Mix finally found Alex's room and knocked on the door and she stood a bit rigid she was gonna ask for help and she didn't even know these people would they even help her? She was being to have second thoughts but it was too late she had already knocked on the door.

" Huh, what was that?" Trist said yawning as he got out of Alex's arms and walked over to the door, but before he opened it. Alex got up and walked over to Trist.
" Why'd you get up? We only have three more hours until we'll most likely be woken up." Alex asked as he wrapped his arms around Trist's waist from behind.
" Someone's at the door." Trist answered as he opened the door, " oh hi, umm can we help you?"

Mix was baffled she was sure this was Alex's room then she saw Alex was behind Trist with his arms wrapped around him. Mix looked down afraid they'd she her face blush a bit, did she interrupt something? "Ah sorry am I interrupting something?" she asked. She thought she'd better get this over with and quick because she didn't want to disturb them and plus maybe Trist would help her escape who knows. "Umm I was kind of wondering if you guys knew a way out of this place. I really don't want to be here and since they could find me very easily I was wondering if you knew a way?" She was praying that they would understand how she felt and not turn her in, but still she only had three hours left that wasn't enough time was it? "Ahh never mind forget I said anything," she said as she quickly turned to walk away, and then sadly tripped over her own feet and once again found herself on the ground. “Crap why does this always happen to me!" she said momentarily forgetting the guys were still at the doorway.

" No you're not interrupting anything." Trist stated with a blush. " We could probably help you get away, right Alex?"
" No." Alex replied, " But I can tell you where to get out, go down to the first floor, walk to the kitchen and there's a red wall near it, if you push the picture of the pentacle out of the way there's a button. Press it and you will get a small opening to the outside, there you go."

Schuyler, unable to fall back asleep after her talk with Damon, herd noise in the hall. Getting up she carefully stepped over Damon and went over to the door. Pressing her ear against it she listened to what was going on. To Schuyler's utter surprise it was Mix, Trist, and Alex that were out in the hall, and they were talking of escape. Quietly opening the door Schuyler stepped out into the chilly hallway.
"Who here knows how to get out of this place?" Schuyler asked.

"Who here knows how to get out of this place?" Schuyler asked.
Mix had barely noticed Schuyler coming into the hall. "Well", she began “according to Alex we just have to go down to the first floor, walk to the kitchen find a red wall, find a picture of a pentacle and there should be a button you press to open a way out. Is that correct?" She asked Alex. "Umm not that it’s any of my business but what are you guys planning to do? I'm just wondering because maybe we could escape together or help one another or something?" She paused for a minute continuing,"Maybe I could help you guys with what Stryker had promised you? I don't really have another place to go so it'd be no trouble for me and I wouldn't mind to help you. I don’t think I can stay here with Stryker he gives me this really creepy feeling when I’m around him! No offense meant to you Alex since you work for him and all.”

Schuyler pondered over what mix had said for a moment before answering. "I have a...ah...big house in down town Toronto, if you guys need a place to stay."
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Damon woke up to a bright light shining in his face. Looking onto the bed, he realized that Schuyler was no longer there. It was then when he realized that the light shining in his eyes was coming from the hallway.
Getting up he walked out into the hall to find out what was going on.
"What's up?" He asked, placing his hand lightly but protectively on Schuyler's shoulder.
Looking up at Damon, Schuyler said: "Alex was just telling us that there was a way out of here"
Surprised, Damon exclaimed, "There is! Where?"
"In the kitchen, apparently,"Schuyler replied, smiling, she was glad that they didn't have to stay at this awful place. "And I offered everyone a room at my house, there is probably enough bedrooms for everyone."
"Cool," said Damon, equally as happy as Schuyler that they were getting out, "What does everyone else think."
Unsure, Schuyler raised an eyebrow at the other three in the hallway.

"Really?" Mix asked delighted. "I would love too!" She was so happy she gave Schuyler a hug, then soon realized what she was doing, "Oh sorry, it's just I'm so happy I haven't got a lot of friends. I only had one when I was little his name was Aiden and... well never mind," she said a little sad. "So should we go now then?"

" I don't know, I'd love to go, but it's up to Alex too." Trist statd looking up at Alex.
" Okay, but we need to be quick and quiet, or else my dad will catch us and throw us in the cells downstairs." Alex said as he hugged Trist tighter.
Alex swiftly led the group down to the wall and more importantly the button. After pressing the button he and Trist walked out into the cold air. " God it's cold out here." Alex whispered as his teeth chattered.
" Aww poor baby." Trist teased as he put his hand on Alex's shoulder and began to heat his body.
" Thanks," Alex stated.
" No problem," Trist said, " so, Schuyler lead the way."

Ducking her head against the wind, Schuyler headed to wards her house. The walk to her house was quick, but they were forced to walk against the wind, making the journey tough. As Schuyler, leading the group, rounded the corner, and started up the street, to wards her house she felt in her pocket for the keys. She sighed as the cold metal hit her hand, she was worried that she had left them at Evotech. Wrapping her hand around the key she started to walk faster, eager to get home.
Coming to a stop in front of her massive house, she turned to the group.
"Okay," she said, her voice echoing in the empty street, "This is it."

Mitsuki decided to take a walk, deciding to take a different way then normal. The route she took brought her to a huge white mansion. When she looked at the farthest window her head started to hurt, but she kept staring at the window as the headach grew worse and worse.
*Flash back* The tornado was becoming stronger and Mitsuki called for her sister, reaching out to stop her. But before she could a piece of wood flew through the air and hit her side, then another hit her, knocking her unconcious.*end of flash back*. Mitsuki woke up to a couple of people staring at her from the street side of the mansion.

" This is amazing, but umm what's with the weird chick on the sidewalk?" Alex asked pointing to a girl.
" I don't know, but let's go check on her." Trist said as he walked over and dragged Alex with him. " Are you okay?" he asked the girl.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Good, Alex has gotten the group to one area, this will make killing them a lot easier." Stryker said. He pressed an intercom button. " Would Taskforce please report to my office." he said over the numerous speakers. Within minutes, a group of seven appeared infront of him. In this group there was Daniel: invisibility, Angel: teleportation, Destiny: tracking, Adrian: metalworks, Alice: persuasion, Andrew: phasing, Sarah: poison touch, and ofcourse himself Stryker: electrokinesis. " Okay in three hours we move out, to the big mansion two blocks away, we take our targets, preferably alive, but if necissary kill them." Stryker stated.
