"..i want to go back to sanctuary.." she whined lightly through sobs and shaky breaths.
"...i know... i'm sorry... I take back what I said about you.... you're nothing like him.... you are something much stronger, more powerful, and more wise. I was wrong about you... and wrong about your father... My sister taught me to forgive those you resent. Don't let hate consume you.. just like it did me. He would be so proud of you.. just for doing your best. Both your fathers would be." he whispered, too weak to move, just holding her.
Melody's nodded slowly, her blue eye slowly turning purple. "...lucian... I..." suddenly a dart shot into her side and she let out a noise of pain and surprise as the world fell black.
Lucian couldn't even react before he was shot as well, too exhausted to fight its effects as he fell over, still clutching the small girl in his arms as he fell unconscious.

"Y.....Yes! they are both down!" she said loudly eye glued on the screen for any signs of faking it like Ree somehow did.
"Good, one of the P.A will will get them. Just have everyone else stand ready" he muttered a hint of nervousness.
-------------------------------
>>Next Day>>
Two collars were now nearly immobilizing Lucien's neck as he limped restrained to a metal chair was was bolted to the ground. Muscle relaxants had been injected into Lucien minutes before the people who wish to question him entered the room to wait around the estimated time.
Asriel muttered quietly to the person in the P.A armor, looking thoughtful before shaking his head. As the P.A person nodded slowly.
------------------------------
Stepping into the room he glanced over at his two research assistants as she looked toward their screens. "Have either of them woken up yet?" he muttered, they were losing time, Lucien's little trick yesterday made him nervous. Nervous that the Renegades knew where they were and would try to rescue him bringing everything crashing down around them. This was why they needed metas...but not in the same way Mara was trying to go about it. That failed horrible.
"hm.." she muttered, happy at least the Leukos's room was now between him and melody as he was transferred to Lucien. No dent in the door now.. let him think they fixed it.

Lucian inhaled sharply as he was startled awake with a jolt from his dream. "Mother!" he called out, but no one was there... only him. Alone in a room. No, there was someone else. Two other people. He took in a steady breath to try to calm himself, trying to move his limbs but they were uncooperative not to mention restrained to the chair he was sitting in. He tiredly looked around the room, ignoring the two other people then sighed and lowered his head. What the hell was up with that dream... if it even was a dream. Everything seemed fairly real up until that last part when he saw... Shaking his head a bit he tried to struggle against the restraints even if he had no strength over his body from the relaxers.
----------------------------
Leukos slowly came to wake up, after a few seconds, his eyes went wide and he jumped to his feet. "Melody!!..... Melody!!!" he screamed out, but nothing came back, it was silent. "Melody!!!" he continued to scream as he looked for where the door was this time, noticing the dents were gone. He began to punch at the wall where he hoped the door was. "Let her go!! You tell me where she is right now!!!"
-----------------------------
Melody stirred a bit. A noise of pain escaped her lips as she strained to sit up. She felt dizzy and her leg hurt. Taking in a breath, she exhaled shakily and looked around. She was still in a cell. "Leukos?" she called out. "...Lucian?.." she called out again. Only to be met with silence. She frowned, scared and nervous as she tried not to start crying again. Remembering that Lucian had told her she had strength and wisdom, she tried to find her composure again, shifting nervously in her sitting position.

"He's up" the man in the suit muttered turning around to face him while going up on his toes, arms loosening at his side as he grinned under his helmet. "Can I start in the son of a b***h now? I mean he's already crying for his mommy and you have even said a word yet"
"Ugh " Asiel said quietly and moved up to Lucien an almost curious look in his eyes as he stopped a foot from the meta. "Lucien Broken. Grandson of Kae Broken? " he paused as if waiting for a response and just continued on anyways. "Our apologies. We don't usually have family members do interrogation on each other for ...obvious reasons. So we are here again to make sure everything is the same. " he said pleasantly, but the curious look was gone.
Mara passing Kae off as her sister...Kae Broken. The mother of metas who had been thought dead for more than 20 years. Or was Mara even aware at all and was just being used? It didn't matter.....the truth didn't even matter. Everyone thought it was much easier to cast blame on SIU and sink it and with it draw focus on the Renegades ...push how connected they were. Cast the fear that they might have their own claws in other governments. Parley was a bust but it would be one that will be felt for years subtility.
Right now...they only had to worry about one thing. Lucien Broken. His connections to the renegades, his connection to SIU,his part in parley, Kae, anything else. Then breaking him down and building him up again.
"Let's start with something simple. We have video of you teleporting Melody into your cell at minimum power. Was this how you teleported (Criel) to the resort? " he asked dully as the P.A suit stood still waiting. The feeling of anger, resement, loss and grief was heavy in the air..through out the whole compound. Of the two in front of him it emitted heavily from the person in the P.A suit and only a bit less from Asriel.

"Melody, Summon Wires"

Lucian narrowed his eyes, still not looking at them as they mentioned his call out to his mother. "I don't see any tears.. only an undying hate for whoever the hell you are..." he spoke calmly in a low voice. "Just begging the dead to have the strength to have mercy on you in the end." he chuckled weakly, straining a bit at how uncomfortable two collars was. Taking in a deep breath, he exhaled shakily. They began to speak to him, mentioning his grandmother. Interrogation. His eyes went wide and he looked at them with a bit of confusion and concern. So, they didn't know. "s**t... what did you do to Kae." he demanded, anger in his eyes. So her plan had failed, and now he didn't know what to do. Should he keep with what he said, or say something else. He didn't know. He looked away with irritation, deciding not to answer their questions. That was for the best. He didn't know what answer they wanted and the last thing he need was to give them what they wanted.
--------------------------------------
"Hell no!" he screamed as he punched at the wall again. He was ready to start this whole thing again, he had no reason to stop. Even more so, he had every reason to continue being that he needed to know what happened to Melody. "GIVE HER BACK!" he yelled, punching the wall harder.
-------------------------------------
Melody frowned as she commands continued from before. She shifted uneasily and put her hands together, concentrating hard as she produced the strings between her fingers again, narrowing her eyes at them as they reflected the light from above and she plucked one with her thumb, making a sound and she mimicked the noise with her mouth. She stared at them solemnly and sighed.

"See? They were in on it together " The man in the armor said pushing one hand against the other and waited.
"That is ...unfortunate. Go for it. I'm tired of seeing his face. " he motioned frowning.
That was the only encouragement needed as the P.A unit walked forward and punched at Lucien's stomach. ((Rolled: 11 +10 enhancements: 22 ))
"Again. Was that how you teleported (Criel) to the resort?" the voice was harsh now as he stood away.
-------
"Leukos, Spark" 3 seconds of electrical damage.
"Melody, Stop"

Instant regret. Lucian braced for the hit and it still hurt like hell, his head jerked to the side at the blow. He waited for a moment, spitting out blood to the floor. "I honestly didn't know Kae was here.. Or that she'd interrogate me.. Though I'm not surprised she did it.. She's ******** crazy." he commented with a slight chuckle. "Our family is just a little.. broken. If you couldn't tell." he almost wanted to laugh at the irony of their family name as to reflection to the state of their messed up family dynamics. He slowly rolled his back to face them. He opened his mouth to answer their question about his powers but paused. A distant memory rang out in his mind.
You talk to much. I know it hurts and you feel you are right and you want to set them right but the only options you will have are to instigate or stay quiet. Andy is good at instigating... She can divert conversations because she's used to to talking and all the rhetoric.. But you're better suited to just not saying anything. The more you hold in, the more valuable you are... The less likely they are to kill you. But even that's not guarateed. You're problem is fear... You have to realize... That they don't care about you. So in the end, you better be prepared to die for all the things you don't say. Choose whether it's worth it.
Lucian closed his eyes and took a calming breath. He had to hold out. They would come for him. He just had to stay alive. With that,,he said nothing, choosing to stay silent.
------------
Leukos helped slightly as the electrical current ran through the device. This again. Leukos clenched his teeth, took a steady breath and just kept wailing punch after punch against the wall.
------------
Melody frowned and released the strings, letting them disappear. She looked around a bit then sighed. She didn't understand why they kept asking her to do her powers but then again, wouldn't this help her get stronger. Twisting her mouth quizically, she seemed puzzled by the requests since they only hurt her when she couldn't do it. She began to really wish Leukos was there, he would know what to do.

"Another?" The voice under the helmet sounded pleased when Lucien didn't answer the question.
"Not as hard" was the soft response. A flicker of concern for the blood that was spit out. "We will keep this up all day until you answer , Lucien. " he said loudly frowning.
"Fine..." Moving up to Lucien he picked up the pinkie of the meta's right arm and tried to crush it between his armored thumb and forefinger. (1d6: 5 +10:15 concentrated only on pinky ))

Lucian let out a short scream of pain before clenched his teeth, just trying to bear it. He clenched his other hand into a fist as he braced against the pain of the crushing of his finger. Even so, he remained silent. It was the only thing he could do. Especially as he focused on redirecting his mind from the pain.
-------------------------
[I'm going to assume they just continue the commands as before]
"Melody!!!!" he screamed out as the electrical current shocked him for 5 seconds now, staggering lightly as he tried to swing at the door and seemed to miss, slamming his shoulder against it then slid to a sit. "Melody.." he cried out, his voice wavering slightly in distress.
------------------------
"Melody, summon wires.. Melody, stop... Melody, summon wires... Melody, stop..." she mocked as she had been laying down on the sleeping bag and was titling her head back and forth as she held the strings between her fingers. "Melody summon wires... Melody stop... Melody su-..." 'Melody!' Melody yelped, letting go of the strings to soon as she she panicked a bit and resummoned them, hoping they either didn't notice or wouldn't mind. "What is it? Are you okay?" she asked, aloud.
'..I... had a dream. I think.. I dreamt of my family.'
"Your family?" she frowned despite being happy about her remembering more it seemed. It still made her sad that she didn't have a family of her own. "Do you remember their names?"
'Very faintly... Ahh it's still really foggy... I think.. Moira.'
"Moira? That's a pretty name.."
' ...yeah..... What are you doing?'
"I don't know. Making wires. They keep asking me to..."
'... where is leukos?...'
She frowned and sighed, "I don't know where Leukos is.... they took him away I think... I'm...I'm really worried about him.."

"This is almost like.. popping bugs. " the person in the P.A unit said with a humorless laugh. "Lets see... you still don't want to talk so....pop" reached for the next fingers and for the same. "Pop ... pop...pop.....pop" moving to one finger after the other as if it were a game. "Oh no, no more fingers... but you do have another hand and feet. Thinking of giving Boss guy his answers before I start?"
Asriel said nothing, moving back to lean against the wall and cross his arms. They can wait
-----------------
((ack yes x.x)
"Leukos, Spark" A shock for 10 second now
A new researcher leaned her head on one arm and pressed the button as she stares at the screen, boredly.
"Melody, Summon Wires"
The researcher yawned and pressed the button as Melody did the action. Looking away for a moment to changing a song on his player before looking back, wishing this was automated

Lucian kept his teeth clenched, then screaming out as they move to each finger. He thrashed against the restraints, telling out in anger and pain as he couldn't help the tears that billowed up in his eyes. But still he wouldn't budge, staying silent. He had to. There was no other options.
---------------------
Leukos screamed out in pain as the deviced closed with electrical current. Tears in his eyes like a hurt child. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" he screamed out, his skin glowing beginning to grow brightly and his hair stood on him, he was intent to set off a his flash bang ability with as much power as he could muster, which wasn't much. "MELODY!!!" he yelled as loud as he could, forcing his voice so hard it clawed violently through his throat.
-----------------
Melody sighed, producing strings again and staring at them, plucking them lightly with her thumbs to make noises. "Hey Kreim... Do you think Mara will come for us?"
'...I don't know. From what I can see, this doesn't look good. You look like a prisoner.'
She narrowed her eyes with pain, "I've always been a prisoner..." she sighed. "I want to go home... wherever that is..."
'I wish I knew where your home was.'
Tears were forcing their way through as she frowned. "That's just it... I have no home. I never did. I have no parents.... So... I'm sure no one would notice if I just disappeared..." Kreimhilde was silent as Melody sighed again. She couldn't even hear Leukos' screams as she only felt so alone. They both did.

The armor unit crouched down "I see.." He hummed flicking at each broken finger one after the other and not stopping. "See....we don't have to keep you alive. Right now this is just fun for me, I mean it is the the least you deserve for the deaths at parley ...at (place) and (place). Even if it wasn't you, your broken body will be an example of ..hm what does Zaku like to say.. Screaming? We're screaming back and there are so very little of you ....and now with what Morred is doing? Even less. " he went back to humming and flicking. "Or you can answer and I'll have to stop " there was rage in his mind, memories flashing in and out as well as the contemplation of the next step.
Asriel watched blankly, tuning out the screams as if he had practice before as his mind moved to sona? sono? eh one of them. His eyes flickered to the PA unit as it mentioned what Morrad was doing. "....." Lifting his Wilkie talkie he muttered for some instruments to be sent in and a couple of bags.
----
Melody, Stop
"Huh....would you call that sparking? It looks like a glow. And are we looking for an electrical spark? "
"I don't know. It just says spark. If it was electrical wouldn't he be immune to the current voltage? And pretty sure that is a glow. Wrong skill but jot it down for the next set of commands "
Leukos, Spark Another shock for 15 seconds.

Lucian flinched at every pain, barely able to contain his tears, choking back a whimper as he just tried to bear the pain. After they spoke, Lucian simple shook his head slowly, indicating that he still refused to speak, hanging his head as he just tried to hide the immense pain in his face.
-------------------------
Melody released the strings, and closed her eyes, sighing.
'....if I was there... I would make you part of my family... I just don't want you to feel lonely anymore..'
Tears were building in her eyes, "I don't belong. Maybe I never did... I ran away and now I'm trapped... What good am I? I just.. I don't know..."
'This is my fault, isn't it? Because I attacked that guy.... Melody, I'm so sorry.. I just didn't want you to get hurt, and now this...'
Melody looked down at her leg and then exhaled heavily. She was scared, but she didn't know what she could do. She was powerless and didn't feel she was strong enough to stop them from making her do what they wanted.
-------------------------------------------------
Leukos continued to glow as bright as he could, his skin only getting brighter and brighter as he closed his eyes tightly. The voices were creeping in quickly to the spectacle that was his soul. He felt fear and dread as she voices roared up and honed in, growing louder with every passing second. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" he screamed again, cupping his head in his hands frantically. Maybe if he gave in, they might let him have the music, then he could push back the voices again. No, it was too late. They were too close and this was it. One of them would grab hold of him and never let go.
Suddenly a voice rang out, clear as day as it sounded gentle but cold enough to kill.
'I know it hurts, but you can't give in to them. The more you hold in, the more valuable you are... they less likely they are to hurt Melody... You need to be prepare to stand up an fight. Are you ready to keep going, Leukos?'
Leukos' eyes went widen in surprise and slight horror. Look up and out into the room, tears suddenly overwhelmed his eyes. "MOM!" he cried out as his glow heightened to a new level, obscuring the view of the camera momentarily. When the glow subsided, Leukos was still curled up on the ground but something was slightly different about him, he was... taller. He pushed himself to a stand, and shifted his weight onto one leg, placing a hand on his hip, "Now will you look at that.... you've grown up so much.."
'Wh-what did you do?!'
'Accelerated your metabolism I think... Who cares, you're all grown up now.. well sort of. Anyway..' "Let's figure out how to show these do-gooders a fair old time. ********> the voice squealed eagerly, softer and slightly more feminine than what you would expect from a teenage boy. "Let's find a way home, my little firecracker..."

The PA grabbed all his broken fingers and pulled and moved them around. "Should I punch you again? or just move on to you next fingers? I'm actually being nice and letting you pick" he hissed softly.
Blinks at the soft knock at the door and pushes off the wall to open it.. pulling in the cart and closing it once again. "Wait a moment" he muttered, looking through many of the tools and opening a drawer instead and pulling out some clippers that seemed to have drops of dried blood still sticking to its handle. "Shave his head first and save the clipping. If he is still uncooperative in an hour or so after your catajaoling i'll let you play with the toys" he said blankly, tossing the item at the PA then going to plug the other end to a plug nearby.
the PA catches it and stares at it blankly. "......... A small break" his voice holding back barely restrain anger as he got up and grabbed his hair and pulled it back, grabbing scissors to cut the excess before digging the clippers in with enough strength that left some imprints of the plastic.
-------------------------
"Melody, Summon Strings"
"....." the researcher frown trying to decide if he was sparking or really just glowing, why didn't they give them more det- OH s**t. Pressing a button he shouted into the mic. "Alert.... Problem. Standby"
".......Yours grew"
"I noticed! I don't like that. Where is Dr Dreq?"
"I got it .. I got it. just keep an eye on him that he doesn't so something worse"
"i'm watching! I'm watching!" There was no command this time as they tried to figure things out. Having mute on all of the videos basically to not have to hear any of them yell or cry, they didn't notice the change in his voice

Lucian kept his head down and didn't even fight it as they grabbed at his hair and began to shave it off. It didn't mean anything to him, he still had things to protect. He just kept his thoughts on what he could do to find Melody and Leukos. His hand was a lost cause, even when they threatened to do the same with his other hand. It hurt so much but he just gritted his teeth and bear it. He was trying to pull at the metal cart with magnetism, but it wasn't working. He was trying any of his powers, but nothing worked. He debated using the only power he couldn't control at all, but decided against it. He couldn't trust that ability. He'd likely hurt people he cared about too if he did, so he continued to remain silent.
-------------------------
She summoned the strings and stared at them with sad eyes. "I don't know what to do.."
'Break out?'
"Don't know how. With these stupid devices, I can't do anything but this..."
'Maybe you could try my power. Or I could take over and figure something out.'
"If you think it will help... Just be careful. If you don't make the strings, they shock you a lot." she closed her eyes to relinquish control to Kreimhilde.
'Hmm... okay.' she opened her eyes as they were now purple and red. Sitting up she came to a stand and began to walk around. "This doesn't look good at all. Alone in a dark cell...." she looked for a camera or a door, searching to find advantages.
----------------------------
"I don't like this place." she twisted his face in distaste. She put her hands together to cup around her mouth. "HEYBUTTFACESLETMEOUTORIMGONNADOSOMECOOLSHITANDBLOWTHISPLACETOHELL!!" she shouted with a huge grin.
'They are just going to shock you for not listening.'
Her eyes widened in excitedment. "Hell yes... doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoit!!"
'What can you do?'
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's gonna be ******** awesome!"
'..language..'
"Aww, come on Lui, you're a teenager now... surely you can handle a few bad words now." she laughed loudly, putting another hand on her hip, shifting into a stance that was a bit more amorous in nature.
