Kai felt the pain quickly, her head hurting yet again. She clenched her hands into fists, concentrating, trying to concentrate on one thought. One thing that could keep the surge in activity down in her mind. "It- it's definitely- that man... Stop- I- I'll sta-stay put" She thought waiting for a response. if he was a telepath he might stop, at least it was her hope in that pain. Her free hand shot to her head and she held the side of it to help focus herself.

Still looking at Nathalia in her lotus position, Rachel nodded biting her lower lip, trying to think like her mother the reporter, "Yeah, what do want with us... Some sort of secret army or something like that? Government test subjects for bio weapons? I don't know. We seem to have ... too much leeway just to be test subjects, but ... we have no way to contact the outside world... huh."
..............
Threshold arched an eyebrow sharply at Kai's thought toward him and took a couple of steps toward the young heroine, thinking directly into her mind, Really.... That will be most helpful, and less painful for you... The I.O. mentalist waived a hand in Kai's direction to telekinetically place Kai's formerly free hand back into position and remolded the formerly broken bonds on her wrist. But this time, that remote sensory ability of Threshold felt... soft almost tender, like he wasn't trying to hurt her, "Just relax. It's not going to be as bad as you think Kai. There are some questions we do have to ask, alright?"

"Not as bad as I think? Tell me, do the Summers /not/ work here? Is this /not/ I.O.? It's pretty much as bad as I can imagine right now. Except that I have far less clothes, in front of an old guy... and I don't too much stand for mental pain. Really need some willow tea."
"My parents are out to kill me I swear... or worse. Always worse, if you knew my parents you would know that I'm /really/ not looking forward to this place. You also confirmed my suspicion that you are a telepath." Kai thought directly towards him as though to avoid having Ivana hear them directly.

"Humph... Old to you... maybe, but I would say we're fairly close in age, Kai. Of course, you riding in the 'Cajunmobile' when I first met you, so... you might be a bit off on a few things," Matthew did take a moment to admire Red Cardinal's build and figure. Giving a slight smirk, Threshold continued, "Besides, you have nothing to be ashamed of as far as your looks or how you keep yourself, but your current condition was necessary -- you have tons of gadgets, most aren't too friendly."
Duh! Of course, I'm a telepath, oh Master Of The F**king Obvious!!! Do you think I care whether or not you know that!? And as far as parents go, at least you have them. I didn't and was raised by their murderers!

"Yes, because now I /know/ to not think of the answers. And as far as parents go, you can have mine. All they ever wanted was to Lobotomize me and use me as a toy and a subject for their tests. And fine... You're not old. But I still don't want anyone looking at me no matter how I look." She thought, it almost hurt to hear directly with the headache that Threshold had given her. She huffed and looked away from him as though offended that he would comment on how she looked.
"There is a reason my clothes are filled with gadgets and tools despite my already packed utility belt... I just really don't want to use my other powers."

Meanwhile, out of all this happening, Dundee was ridiculously calm. Pretty much just leaning back and whistling a little bit. "Well, you at least having fun taking my brother's eye apart and torturing her? 'Cause this could all be considered unlawful six ways to Sunday . . . Hope y'all like jail when this is over." Dun' said and calmly . . . took a nap. He was almost like he knew something was coming, and it sure as s**t wasn't Santa.

"They better have fun torturing me otherwise they are wasting their time just to make us all miserable."
She commented back to Dundee still looking away from Threshold. It always seemed that despite the situation she could still keep her witty charm about her. Kai actually felt quite thankful that Dundee was such a calm guy. His voice after hearing nothing but Thresholds reminded her that she had good friends and it made her feel a little more confident of how their situation would be once they are freed to escape. She moved her re-restrained wrist around in the cuff. He indeed did make it tighter it almost hurt. Her other wrist still at the same tightness as it had been before. She could feel a little of her powers still existing, not all of her powers were physical.
"Scientists can't do Magic Threshold. No matter what your people will only have me half restrained. I thought I would just let you know."

Dundee yawned. "Remind me to turn 'em into frogs if Arell doesn't fill 'em with hot lead. Ga-ron-tee he ain't gonna be happy when he wakes up. Then again, once he gets his guns back, bein' frogs gon' be the LEAST of they prollums." he said, trying to make himself comfortable in the situation. Oddly enough he was more or less tired of all the bullshit that was going on . . . quite literally. To the point where his accent was coming back.
"Say, can we wrap this up soon? Y'see it's poker night and I had a three-game running streak so far. Kinda wanna keep that goin', y'know . . . get 'nuff to go see a movie." he said, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"You don't know d**k.....," Threshold briefly turned toward Dundee before turning his attention back toward Kai, "But you do.... A d**k Grayson to be precise... Look, we know he's involved, so just tell us a bit about Grayson. I think that would help a bit, don't you Kai?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. He's a carny... not a vigilante. And he's just a friend."
She had glimpses of Grayson in the carnival. Hailey's circus. The time that she worked there and Grayson had asked her why she was there. Kai tried shaking it off, if he could read thoughts there was no telling if he could read memories as well. The visualizations of them. It was difficult not to think. The memory of eating sushi with Grayson came up, in normal clothes. And the bike he drove with her on the back. She blinked and blushed. "He's just an older brother to me. He's not a vigilante. He's not involved." She reinforced to herself.

"Yeah, but your momma sucked mine, and on my way home I'll go see her again." Dundee snarled. Clearly, he was taking lessons from Arell and C.J. in the snark department.
Arell actually started snoring at that time. Apparently, Dundee wasn't the only one completely bored with being captured. Even with the surgery, it was more or less he was asleep.

Matthew make another comment toward Dundee once more, "And I can twist you into a pretzel without even touching you," then turning back to Kai, "Now where were we... Ah yes, d**k Grayson..." Threshold lingered on the name, noticing that he was invoking a few longing memories in the young teen, "You enjoy spending time with Grayson, don't you? Even... Lingerie? Well that is interesting... Trying to get his attention while he was in his Nightwing costume, eh?"

"The Lingerie was a fluke by a crime boss. And N- d**k- you know what... it doesn't matter. He's not involved. I am the one who hacked IO to save my friends lives. From the assassins that one of your partner organizations seem to be shelling out by the dozen."
Don't think, she tried. Kai closed her eyes and tried to just imagine her past, something that wasn't /now/. A thought occurred. Maybe if she thought of what her parents did the man would understand her position with her family and change the subject. She remembered when she escaped and Kane immediately came after her. Especially when he attacked her with his snake. Then Grayson came up again at the party when he offered her wine."stop... Grayson if you weren't such a cutesy loud mouth." She remembered something a little different. Kai was a kid, in a garden. There were birds everywhere. Tanagers and cardinals landed on her and ate seed from her hands. She sat on the ground and practiced mimicking their chirps. "I love Red Cardinals... always have liked the color red. but, why when it reminds me so much of death. You wouldn't understand me Threshold and I won't allow you to learn anything more about my friends. Get out of my mind, and out of this room."

"And I know two people who would be glad to turn you into a bloody pulp, cocksucker. So go ******** yourself before the tides turn and you're REALLY ******** ********, ********> Dundee drawled. Clearly a man of science was getting bored with these empty threats of a babbling idiot who claimed his mental powers led them here.

 "Why would they build an army out of teenagers? Guinea pigs I get...army...well that makes no sense. We aren't the Teen Titans, unless they plan on giving us super powers." Her eyes were still closed as she replied. Really. The idea was laughable.
