Stella glared as Von Galloes. She had no idea why he was calling her 'sweetheart,' and then he continued to speak about information that not even Voidlight knew. She visibly stiffened as she did recognize the bomb on #3's neck, it was the same her father had put around her neck and forced her to disarm. Von Galloes spoke of having [i]him[/i] train her. Was her father not her actual father? 

Stella paled at the realization as to why her mother was so desperate to get her out of the facility they had called home for so long. Her hands balled up into fists as Von Galloes egged her on to show Nick and the others what she was trained for. She gritted her teeth and wished she would have kept the cover over #3's eyes, she didn't want her to see what she was going to do. 

The Ghost took off her gloves to reveal her augmented arms. The metal was flesh colored but anyone with eyes could see the lines of the different sections of the various augmentations. Stella took a deep breath. In a blink of an eye, the white haired woman flicked fire at one of the drones. Now, since it was reinforced metal, it wouldn't affect the drone, however, the drone was now in self-preservation mode. It began to spin and zip around in a frantic manner. Since this drone still had its gun out it was also the immediate threat in the room, confusing the other drones. 

Stella worked quick. She jumped up, grabbed a different drone and threw it at another, causing them to spark and create a small explosion. She looked at the clock on #3's collar.

Stella cursed as she got busy with the bomb. She would let the other deal with the rest of the drones. She went behind #3's chair and ripped off the wire panel. Her eyes winced as the wiring was just slightly different. Different enough for Stella to second guess which ones to cut.

First, Stella held her breath as she cut the gray wire. When nothing happened she moved onto the green one. The timer disappeared but nothing else occurred. [b]"Shit,"[/b] she muttered, [b]"#3, honey, close your eyes."[/b] She had two wires left. They were almost the same color, there was no time to to debate which one to snip. 

Stella took a deep breath, broke the collar with her hands, and quickly threw the bomb at replastered wall. She quickly shielded #3 from any debris. Her eyes looked #3 over to make sure she was overall uninjured. She reached into her pack and pulled out the key she used on Nick's collar to unlock #3's as well. Once Stella untied #3 from the chair, she quickly hugged the girl. [b]"I am so sorry, #3. I shouldn't have left you behind,"[/b] she murmured.
