"Your powers? Like... mutant abilities? I've read a little about that," even though Caitlin's eyes still had tears rimming them, the scholarly part of the mousy redhead started to assert herself. And unlike the majority of people, Caitlin didn't seem scared or repulsed by the thought of the Apache girl being a mutant, "So..... We're all here because there's a chance we're all mutants of some kind... Ummmm... what is that like? I have no idea..."
.................
Helga stormed back into the Mess Hall where some guards were monitoring the eighteen kids there. The German born drill sergeant's eyes bored into both Nat and Rachel, "You two, in my office... SCHNELL!!!!"
.................
Ivana just shook his head at this, early defiance was normal for the first stage of interrogation. Breathing a slightly bored sigh, the I.O. director began again, "Really? Is that all you can come up with? It's not like any of you can actually do anything, so pissing me off is a bad idea. Now... you tell me what I need to know, and you'll live. But if you really piss me off, I'll blind you and shoot out your knees. Now then.... Knowing that the Justice League members are missing, who are the heroes that you are working for? And where are they? Where are they headquartered?"
Whilst Ivana asked her inquiries, Threshold silently kept mental tabs on each of the heroes, to subtly scan their surface thoughts as they would think of the answers that I.O. sought....

Twilit Eternity  Nathalia blinked, her eyes flickering to the irate Helga and then back to the floor. She rose, falling in behind the woman without a word. First day and already she was screwed. Well, maybe she'd be PTed as punishment. That wouldn't be too bad.

Arell hocked a loogie and spat at the head honcho. "We don't work for no-damn body, a*****e. Now go back to your hole and ******** your parents some more!" he growled.
Dundee looked over at his bro. "Dude, you get VULGAR sometimes . . . but the big guy's right. He and I are only affiliated with the Justice League, being bounty hunters, and getting information that isn't there is gonna be a might difficult." he tried to explain to the boss of the interrogation instead of flat-out berating Ivanna, the entire establishment, and the US government for harboring such a hellhole.
Meanwhile, Bobby was still rather unconscious, unaware of the unexpected (and unintentional) "attack" on the IO base.

"Arell... Stop being so..."
Kai sighed and then looked to Ivana.
"So... You're saying, if we tell you 'stuff' you'll let us off Scott free? Sounds like a great plan. I'll tell you that the Space station is in space... it's where we operate and we can all go home happy."
"What makes them think I'd tell them a reachable location. The cave won't be given up so easily." She thought to herself. The cave already had enough unexpected visitors and didn't need anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can control rain, and lightning charges of sorts... They won't let me leave. They want me to work for them as a weapon but I refuse to so I got these power restriction cuffs. If you ever get your powers, whatever they may be. Hide them. At all costs. Can you do that for me Caitlin?"
She grabbed both of Caitlin's shoulders at this point and looked at her with all seriousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roxy smirked at Rachel and stuck her tongue out at the girl.
"Better go, the Nanny want's to talk to your sorry a**."
She finished her last cigarette in this time. And ended up tossing the butt to the ground stomping it out before Helga was able to see what she had. She felt as though she would get nagged just for having said items in this place.

After the I.O. director got hit in the face with the loogie, the raven haired beauty began turning into a mask of rage wiping the offening spit away... but suddenly calmed down. Then Ivana arched a skeptical eyebrow at the young heroine who was just in her bra and panties, "And the Justice League would have just lent the keys to their Spacestation?.... Somehow, I don't think you can drive a pickup truck from space. Would you care to try again, dear?
Ivana strode over where Arell was and picked up a small thin glass tube, giving Arell a wicked smile, "Now then... You're going to tell me the truth or... I stick this tube up your pal's 'little buddy' and break it inside. Your choice, Red Cardinal."
...............
Without giving too much detail, Helga began to chew out both Rachel Goldman and Nathalia Carter, using a lot of 'more colorful medafors' and then explaining Caitlin Fairchild's injuries in great detail -- berating both girls for their behavior. Then, Helga went to march both girls to a closed room to bust them in a several hours of PT in a small room intending to have the pair of girl sweat so much that it forms a small cloud inside the room....
..............
Slowly Caitlin nodded, practically holding her breath as she really was in Sarah's mercy, "I will try..." The mousy redhead was trying to figure out why Sarah was being so worked up, "My God.... What did they do to you, Sarah?"

Remaining silent for the entirety of their berating, Nathalia Carter stepped into the room and glanced about. Plenty of room for PT here. Sadly, she was still in her BDUs. And not the comfy sort either. A look of military baring that could rival any General's, the redhead marched stoically to a wall and dropped to start doing some diamond push ups. Mentally she was yelling at herself too. It had been a long time since her temper had been struck as such. Yeah, sure. In school she'd had the same issues, being the military brat and all. But this was a freaking ROTC program, wasn't it? The kids should at least know to shut up and drop for twenty. But no, they didn't. Nat reached ten four counts and rolled over to crunch out thirty. Was it an ROTC program? Her mind was reeling, that blind kid had said something else and started the queries...and now Nat wasn't so sure...

Arell laughed down Ivanna. "I bet you'd like touchin' my junk, but I'm taken. Also, we accidentally found yer li'l shithole, so let us outta here an' maybe I WON'T send this heah buildin' to kingdom come, toots." he growled as Dundee looked at Arell.
"Dude, she's serious. Look, Ivanna, was it? She came down and we were giving her a ride. We honestly don't know how the hell we got from Gotham to here and to be honest, if it were up to me, we wouldn't BE here, much less having to put up with my big brother's anger-ravaged southern vernacular and lack of nicotine." Dundee said, trying to reason with the IO member.

"No. Dundee, From now on You're not allowed to speak... Look. Seriously, like anything in this world makes sense. We just were beamed to the desert without warning and somehow it ended up being the desert outside of this base."
"Seriously dude, GOTHAM! At least now they know we were in gotham you idiot." She thought to herself. She gave an upset glare with Dundee.
As Ivana stood by Arell she glared at her.
"And Mrs p***k. Just leave them alone. They are just some citizens with really good weapon aim. I have them help me time to time... they have nothing to do with the JLA, with Teen Titans, Young Justice, or anything. They just know me. So leave them alone."

"Doan' even THINK of talkin' to my little brother that way AGAIN." Arell growled. His tone, loud and bawdy at "Mrs. p***k" seemed to have an icy tone in his voice at Kai. A calmer tone, but hiding the rage for anyone who would DARE threaten his little brother. Step-brother or otherwise. Dundee looked at Arell for a second. He went from loud and proud to quiet and menacing in a heartbeat. Something HAD to be up. Then he noticed the bolt on one of Arell's cuffs was getting loose from the amount of pressure the big Cajun man was putting on it. Calm before the storm. he thought.

"And what can you do other than threaten us with you spittle? Anyway... Gotham?" Ivana asked her question directed at Kai, giving the young girl an evil smirk.
Threshold leaned back against a wall, keeping particular attention to Red Cardinal's survace thoughts, This should be interesting...

"Dese cuffs come off, this whole goddamn buildin's comin' down on all y'all's asses so hard, dat Satan's gonna have to peel what's left a' y'all up with a spatula." Arell growled. Dundee looked and gulped. The worst part was, Arell was right. Gator mode 'til he got to his weapons and it'd be game over. But right now? Not a whole lot that would do. The Cajun would have to deal with just his masterful way of plotting these guys' fate.

Ivana gave a waning glare at Arell, "A spatula? Really? Keep this up, and I'll shove that spatula up your rectum."
In the background, a couple of the techs cuckled.

Arell smirked, continuous pressure on that bolt was causing it to wear out.
"Won't be so funny in a minute." Arell growled. It was almost his ability to transform into a gator wasn't working, but the spirit was in control.
"Won't be too long, human. Sooner we get untied, sooner I EAT." the Gator side spoke from deep with his subconscious.
No. Not in front of Dundee and Red. Our first order of business is to get THEM out of harm's way. I'm considering it a bonus if we get our clothes back." the human side responded.
"CLOTHES?!? Helloooo? I'm a REPTILE. I don't NEED clothes, silly human."
I do . . . bird and Dundee do as well.

Kai sighed a little. She for a moment stared at Ivana when she turned to question her about Gotham but luckily Arell drew the attention of the women away from her. "Arell, you need to calm down. That stress can't be good for you, you big cajun thug. It's better that we DON'T die." Kai moved her wrists a little and tugged a bit at the constraints. "Batman would have a lecture like none other with me if I couldn't get these guys out /safely/. If I had my powers, I could just whip my wrists out and worry about healing them later. Or faze... This is such a pain... And I can't use my lock picks. What's a bird to do?"
"Hey, so Ivana. You wouldn't mind letting us go right? If I can check my calender on my utility belt I'm sure it would say that today is the national 'let super heroes go' day."
"How bout we bounce the attention back and forth so Ivana can't focus her attention on anybody." Kai thought. Good plan, it should work. At least for a little bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack climbed out of his car after parking it in it's place at IO. His daughter parked next to his vehicle with Rose's suv. He opened the back door of his vehicle and pulled the unconscious Bobby out.
"Come Kane. We are going to take Bobby to a cell down below where he cannot escape."
He took a look back to Amber.
"And you, are grounded. No leaving IO, or spending time with the other students. Go to the lab and see your mother. I'm sure she can give you some chores."
Amber slammed the car door as hard as any normal person would. She stood crossing her arms.
"Fine. Just so you know I'm mad at you daddy."
Amber stomped off towards the labs. She knew that somehow, someway they could punish her more severely so she wouldn't get further in trouble. As angry as she was at least she had gotten something, something she didn't have in a long while. That counted for something. As as soon as she could, when she could, Amber would help her friends escape IO so that she can see them anytime she wants. And how fun and exciting it might be for her to chase them for her parents. "Hey, how are you. I was told to catch you but I just want to hang out." She thought starting to daydream as she walked.
"A little bit of a pain isn't she? And why did she call you her father Jack?"
Kane asked looking to Jack curiously.
"Rose and I created this clone from starfire. We adopted and are training her. That's why."
Jack began walking carrying Bobby in his arms.
"Man, how will Kai feel about that."
Kane followed taking his hat off letting it hang on his back.
"It doesn't matter how she feels about it. If she wanted to be our daughter she would have already done so."
Kane frowned a little at Jack's reply, but kept Jack from noticing as he followed behind the man. He sighed and then looked to the devastation that seemed to exist before they got there. "This place is a mess..." He thought.

Every person's duty when captured by the enemy is to ESCAPE. Arell thought. The training he pushed himself through running in his head as he kept pressure on that cuff. What he was unaware of was that the man claimed "next time, to the death" was also in the vicinity . . . which would possibly send Arell over the edge, and make him make good on his threat to "bring the building down on ALL their asses."
Dundee on the other hand looked concerned. His brother was sure at that cuff. He wasn't sure what would break first, Arell's wrist or the cuff itself . . . and by the looks of it, it was a close one.
