[color=MediumOrchid]"Tom?"[/color] Patricia whispered, stunned for a moment. A sudden, giddy smile appeared on her face. [color=MediumOrchid]"Thank God it's you. I-it's a long story- yes, please! Th-that would be awesome."[/color] She laughed, somewhat happy. Patricia felt a sense of relief like no other wash over her. She had been so worried that one of the goons would find her and march her off to get her teeth pulled out or something similar. After all, she was without her powers and only had a questionably bloody machete for defense. But now that Tom and Grace were here (hopefully with their powers), escaping would be that much easier. They could find Brie and Will and get away from this fucked-up place and these Zero people's fucked-up plans. Plus, she couldn't say that she wasn't happy to hear her friends' voices. She had been half-expecting to be kidnapped and murdered, so this was a welcome change in pace. 

Grace hauled Patricia into the portal rather roughly, but she didn't mind. She was just happy to see the familiar violet portal and the faces of her [i]real[/i] friends- not that crazy villain girl. As soon as she made it into the crawlspace, she let out a relieved sigh, looking around for a moment while still on top of Grace. [color=MediumOrchid]"Oh, I'm sorry, yeah, of course,"[/color] Patricia told Grace hurriedly, pushing herself off of the other girl and onto the dusty floor of the attic. She looked at the two others, relief flooding into her eyes. This place was a little cramped and pretty dusty, but she felt safer here with her friends than she did in that girl's bedroom. 

[color=MediumOrchid]"I'm alright,"[/color] she said shakily. [color=MediumOrchid]"The-the villain that dragged me out of the room- she said that..."[/color] A deep blush appeared on Patricia's cheeks, and she looked away from them both. She despised talking about her father with her coworkers. It was so awkward. So she would leave it out. [color=MediumOrchid]"She, um, she left the bedroom door unlocked. That's all."[/color] That was all they needed to know, after all. [color=MediumOrchid]A-anyways, we need to free the others and get out of here. I found out some things from that villain. They're going to transfer the heroes that they capture to someplace- Zero, I think she said- after the Guglianos are done torturing them. And they're going to run them through some machine to kill them, which does something that I don't know about."[/color] Patricia took a breath after this lengthy, hushed speech, looking between Tom and Grace. [color=MediumOrchid]"Let's start with the bad news. I got stabbed with an isolene needle, I don't have my powers. But the good news is,"[/color] she dragged the bloody machete out of her skirt, laying it on the floor, [color=MediumOrchid]"I grabbed this out of her bedroom."[/color] Patricia paused, glancing down at her weapon and then back up at Tom and Grace. [color=MediumOrchid]"You guys do have a plan, right?"[/color]
