“Aaron, do you have a moment?” Annie asked as she saw her husband sitting in the lounge room of their living quarters with Ben. She knew that Carter was upstairs trying to get things situated with Pearson as the new Supers were being brought. Although she hasn’t seen Tia since Ben came back and brought the news to the others, she knew that the woman was in her room probably keeping an eye on everything that was taking place. She was glad to see the group, for the most part, back together again but she could tell that things were going to be trickier this time around.

“Sure.” Aaron said with concern as he saw Annie’s worried face before following her to their room. “Hey, I’m sorry about cutting our trip short but…”

“No, it’s fine.” Annie said trying to reassure him. “Really, it’s good that you’re back with the other Supers and I’m glad that Carter could bring me back as well. However, that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.” As she gave a soft sigh a door slam from across the hall. Tia was up to something but she hoped that she and Aaron could finish talking if something serious was happening. “I’m worried that this is going to make things tricky especially on top of everything that is going on but…”

“Coming in! I hope the two of you are decent.” A voice said before the door swung open. “Good, things might have been awkward if, you know…if…” Tia said before becoming more hesitant as she noticed the direction she was moving the conversation. “You know what, never mind. Annie, they’re going to be needing you shortly.”

“How come?” Annie asked, placing her conversation on hold with Aaron. 

“Someone had an allergic reaction with the tranq and Sander, Person’s right hand man, was stunned from the woman nicknamed Red Widow. He should be fine but they just want to double check. They should arrive here very soon so you better get upstairs.”

With a nod, Annie made her way to front door of the team’s living quarters. As she did so, she could hear Tia start to mumble to herself about the Reformers and a white van before making her way to her own room, a place constructed specifically for her abilities. Whatever Tia found, it didn’t sound good to her.

“Dr. Willis, did you hear what happened?” A staff member asked as Annie made her way into the med bay.

“A little bit. Tell me what happened to our Super.” Annie said as she slipped on her white coat and made her way towards the man.

“He started to have a reaction after being hit with a tranquilizer. Luckily one of them was smart enough to give him epinephrine on the way here or things might have turned out much worse but we better make sure that the epipen was enough for him.” 

“Blood pressure?” Annie said as she watched the unconscious man’s breathing. It was quicker than she liked but it was even enough that he wasn’t in immediate danger thanks to the epinephrine administered earlier but still could be troubling. 

“Low and his pulse is rapid.”

“Alright start him on an IV with antihistamines and cortisone. Let’s also get him on some oxygen until his breathing normalizes. The epinephrine did well on him but I rather not have him rebound once it starts to wear off.” Annie said with a sigh she looked at the man bound by straps. It bothered her seeing the man bound like that as if he was a crazed man or criminal. However with guards nearby she knew that there would be no way to persuade them to release him to make him more comfortable. 

Once he was showing signs of improvement, she knew that he would be taken downstairs and placed into a holding cell with the other Supers. Although she would have preferred to keep the man here under observation in case his symptoms started to rebound, she knew that under Pearson’s orders that he was to be taken downstairs once things were under control. “Welcome to Headquarters. Hopefully your stay will be better once everything is figured out.” Annie said with sigh before giving a quick glance towards Sander who was at the other side of the room waiting impatiently for her. Shrewd both in appearance and personality, she wasn’t a big fan of him but found it mildly humorous that he was here, obviously without a complication from being stunned. “Hey, can someone help him out please?” Annie said before reverting to a sarcastic undertone. “He needs a Band-Aid after his pride was crushed out in the field.”

“Yeah same. I was in my apartment and they were there waiting for me in my living room.” Jenna said in response towards the red headed man. The color drained out of her cheeks as she looked around the cell she was in. She was scared as she wished that she was back in her warm bed at home. “My name is Jenna.” The woman said as she made her way towards the door and even though she had a feeling that it would be locked, she had to try just in case as she hoped for the best. With a sigh, she turned around and looked at the others. They seemed like average people that you would see on the streets. Nothing about the others made her suspect that they were a terrorist group or a part of a gang and that she was mistakenly taken along with them. Across the room she saw that there was also a kid there with them, who now made her way towards the wall. 

Was she locked up because of the incidences that have been happening the past week? Maybe the others have been through a similar situation as her and was able to affect metal. As she thought about how she would phrase her question, she decided against asking as she thought about how crazy she sounded. She didn’t want to appear to be some sort of delusional crazy person just right after meeting the others while in the situation they were in. 

As the girl started to moan, Jenna tried to give her a look of reassurance as she pushed her fears aside as she hoped to comfort the girl. “Hey, don’t worry. We’ll get this figured out.” Jenna said optimistically as she made her way towards the girl and crouched in front of her with a smile.
