Vroom Vroom ...

A black SUV is running on the street, heading back to Syd Barrett's house.

Toshi is the driver, Mickey is next to him at the passenger seat.

Behind Mickey is Jody, Syd, and Sera (in order). And behind them is Roxxy and Bett Moretz's body, tied up tightly.

Sera is healing Syd's wound. Syd looks like he got beaten up badly while Jody seems only to have a little scratch.

“ OUCH---!!?....”

“ S-Sorry... Did it hurt ?!.. ”

Sera startled as she tried to pull out a shard of glass from Syd's skin.

“ No...No... I'm fine... Go on...” he said.

Jody also held his shoulder and looked at Syd all the way since they got out of the nightclub.

Glaring her eyes back, Jody sees Roxxy looking back to her with an unpleasant expression.

“ Brother looks badly injured, while you seem very fine...as far as I observed. Would you mind if I ask you whether you had helped him or not? ”

Asked Roxxy, in a sarcastic voice.

Is she trying to assume that Jody hasn't done anything except being Syd's objection?

This time Jody was no longer in silence, she needs to stand up for herself.

So she replied Roxxy back in the more sarcastic voice:

“ I support him in every way. If I really didn't do anything, your brother may not be sitting here.”

“.....”

The replied silence the car.

Roxxy can hear the “Ohhhhhhhhhhh....” sound coming from the boys, including Syd himself.

Before Roxxy came up with the more burning comeback that may make the situation in the car gone wrong. Syd knows what he needs to do. He must stop the intense tension between Jody and Roxxy right now.

So he said:

“ It true...Roxxy... Her air bullet helps me a lot.”

“....”

When Syd comes in, Roxxy obviously gets hold of herself.

“ hm, okay. Whatever...”

A short replied from Roxxy but Jody knows that she's still displeased.

One thing that Jody noticed is the fact that Roxxy never yells or shout out loud when she's not pleased like those cliche sisters personalities Jody expected. Instead, Roxxy is the Child-like adult. The way she talks, the way she behaves is far beyond people at her age, which makes it's even hard to deal with.

(... Guess we'll better get along by the time...)

Jody thought.

“ So...what really happened in the club?"

Asked Mickey, to Syd.

“ Bruh, this bitch turns us into a fucking smurf and tries to kill us by using people's feet. You know what I'm saying?”

“ What the fuck is a smurf, bro?”

Asked Mickey.

Toshi replied:

“ You know, those blue whack-ass bitches in the movie with the sizes of a penny.”

“ Bruh, what'Ya mean?”

“ Well fuck, her ability is to turn anything into the ant size. Alright?!”

Said Syd.

Syd then added:

“ Which is obviously violates the laws of momentum, you know, when your mass is small. Your speed or shit must be decreased except you got an external force pushing your ass. But her ability only makes you small but didn't decrease your speed or anything. That didn't make any fucking sense!”

“... Guess it's because of the pill she sold. I bet whoever her real identity is, she's not the ability users in the first place.”

Toshi said.

“ Yeah. I agree.”

Mickey then asked:

“ So how was it in that tiny world?”

“ Pretty Fucked. Right, Jody?”

“ Yeah.”

After Jody replied, Syd turns to Mickey.

“ But maybe heaven for feet fetish. I mean, I'm not a feet fetish myself but

(High pitch) you may like it.”

Syd replied.

Toshi then bursts out a laugh, Mickey is embarrassed.

“ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!”

“ Fuck you laughing, Jap?? ” Mickey turns to Toshi in frustration.

“ Lmao, I can't imagine how to enjoy it! Bruh, Imagine being surrounded by girls' feet and you're horny Hahahha!!! ”

Toshi said in tears.

“ Fuck's wrong with that, HUH?! ”

Mickey grabs Toshi's collar.

“ Hey fuck off man! I'm driving! ”

Mickey then releases him, it's true anyway.

“ Hey-Hey-Hey, bro. There's nothing wrong with having feet fetish. It's okay--”

While Syd is soothing his green hair friend...

“ Mickey what----?!”

Sera asked out of sudden.

“ This Jewish boy right here has a feet fetish.”

Toshi turns to reply, point his finger to Mickey.

“ Ayy Shut your Bitch-ass mouth. Or I'll fucking blast a thunder in your fucking ass.”

Mickey said.

Toshi then comes up with the reply:

“ fuzakeru na, Mikki. Shitzukendayo,

omai. Shi-ne”

Mickey then came back with:

“ Deine Mutter geht in der Stadt huren. Blvdes Arschloch”

“ Sorry, man. I don't speak beer.”

“ Sorry too, I don't speak Sushi.”

“ At least I'm not a pedo like you.”

“ What Pedo? ”

Jody asked.

“ Toshi doesn't like older women or the same as his age. He likes the younger one.”

Syd replied.

“ YO BRO. WHAT THE FUCK. Aren't you at my side?!... That's my personal information! ”

Toshi turns his face back to Syd.

“ Bro, why you do this... Bro plz Bro. Why you betray me like this...”

Jody can feel by his voice that his heart is breaking.

“ Hah! How was it to taste your own medicine, Motherfucker! ”

Now Mickey is the one who bursts out a laugh.

“ Oh, I see why he has a crush on Roxxy,” said Jody.

“ Hey, that just only one of many factors. Don't assume I'm a pedophile! Would you still consider me as a pedo when I'm 25 and likes a woman around 20? ”

“.....”

Jody realized. He's got a point.

“ Oh... Right...”

“ See? I just like a woman younger than me. It doesn't mean I like kids. Don't listen to these motherfuckers, Jody. They're more misleading about me than Fox news articles.”

“ How about you? Syd? ”

Jody then turned to ask him.

And that moment Syd knew, he's gonna get fucked.

Mickey and Toshi show the intense grinning.

Like Syd was the last survivor, and they're about to drag him along with them.

“ Syd is the opposite side of Toshi. He likes elder girls. Especially the girl who's mature than him in both mentally and physically way.”

Mickey and Toshi chuckle.

“ IT'S CALLED HAVING A HIGH TASTE.”

Jody noticed that Syd went embarrassed.

“... I see... That's reasonable...”

Jody smirks, as the flashback comes in her head. That time she caught Syd watching the power rangers show.

Syd intensely gazed into Jody's eyes, telling her to shut her mouth.

“ What' ya mean, reasonable? ”

Asked Sera.

Jody looked at Syd, she knows he's praying to her.

“ Nothing” Jody said, grinning.

But a person like Sera doesn't believe it. However, she didn't ask for more.

.

.

.

.

A moment as passed by.

Bett Moretz opened her eyes. Her head feels very dizzy. She slowly focused on her surroundings and found that she was in a mysterious place like someone's garage.

It was a closed place. She cannot tell the time or see anything outside.

Except there were 2 people standing in front of her.

They were Roxxy Barrett and Mickey Mannix.

“......”

.

.

.

.

.

Outside the garage, Syd holds a capsule of the pills from Bett Moretz's suitcase.

Jody next to his right, Toshi on his left.

They're analyzing this strange thing.

“ Outside, they look exactly like a normal pill. I couldn't tell the difference!”

Said Toshi.

“ The only way is to send this to the lab. Have you reported them yet?”

“ Roxxy already did. They'll arrive here at 3 a.m.”

Said Toshi.

“ Your...sister...uh, she is very serious...person..., isn't she? ”

Jody asked him politely.

“ Yeah. She's always like that.”

Syd turns to Jody,

“ Why you asked?”

Suddenly, Someone calls Syd from the garage.

“ SYD! We need your help here.”

Syd paused his conversation. Replying back to them.

“I'm coming! ”

“ I'll be right back.” He replied to Jody and then walked away.

Leaving Jody with Sera and Toshi.

“ Hey... I think I know what you tried to convince Syd to answer...” Toshi said,

“ Roxxy seems not to like you. That's what you're wondering. Yes?”

Seeing Toshi Ishii is the most chilling person in all of them.

Jody feels like it's safer if she asked him instead.

“ yeah...I mean... If she's not going to rely on me, that's understandable. Because if I was her, I wouldn't trust in civilian as well. But she has no problem with Seraphina as far as I observed... Well, she, no... You guys may not trust in me and Sera. But Roxxy obviously shows that sign towards me. I feel like ... It doesn't fair.”

Said Jody.

“ That's the same for me. But it was Mickey.”

Sera added.

“ Oh... I see... I know how you feel. But you know, that's her nature. Because when they were young, these siblings always look after each other.”

Toshi said.

“ What does that mean?” Sera asked.

“ Don't you know? When Syd was in middle school. He's very popular among the girls. I assume that the phrase " most of the girls like bad guys" is the reason behind that? I don't know, but they are so many girls that come to him just for the money and some shits they think it's useful... A gold digger, I would say. So it was Roxxy who always looks after all of this.”

“ Wait... a minute... You're saying... That Roxxy is suspecting whether Syd got a butterfly in his stomach 'cause of me? ”

“.....” Toshi sigh.

“ Who knows, I heard you're older than him, aren't you? And you two live in the same house for the past few weeks...”

He said.

“ Nonsense! Mickey also lives in the same house as Sera, but she didn't suspect a thing?...”

“ Well, because we all know Mickey. That bastard is not that kind of person. But you? ... ” Toshi bends his head to the side.

“ Or maybe because you were a bully?”

!!!

(...Sera may be right, she got a point...)

“ That's one of many reasons..uh... ” Toshi said.

“ No need to serious, Jody. There's the easiest way to prove her wrong. Just show her that you truly have changed and you really committed yourself to the mission. If you do that, I'm sure she'll be fine with you someday.”

Said Toshi.

(... That's what Roxxy told me too...)

She thought.

“ So... If she (Roxxy) is this much of cautious... So this means there're so many women coming in his (Syd) life... Has he had a girlfriend before? ”

When Jody asked that question. She noticed that Toshi's mood suddenly changed as if She asked a forbidden question.

“......”

Sera didn't notice that Toshi took a long time before he answered, but Jody did.

(... This is not a coincidence... Whenever I bring up this topic... Everyone acts differently....)

“ I think you should ask him yourself... You know, you're trying to dive into his privacy...you are ...uh... Going too deep...you know what I saying...”

“... Oh... I see. My bad. I'm sorry...”

“ Hey! You guys over there! ”

Jody, Sera, and Toshi turn their face to Mickey's voice calling them from the garage.

He wiggles his hand, calling them to come in.

.

.

.

.

When Jody stepped in the garage, the first thing that kicks in her nose is a metallic smell of blood.

It flows all over the garage, and there's Bett Moretz.

A shocking image represents in front of Jody and Sera, making these 2 civilians covered their noses with their bare hands.

Bett Moretz was beaten up pretty badly, moreover, her organs such as each finger, each nail, legs, and hairs are all over the floor.

The answer to the question of why her organs are being ripped out so easily is on Syd.

He used his power to swap the characteristics of Bett flesh with a paper.

So... You know what's going to happen...

And the most disturbing part is that her mouth is covered by ice, it freezes and shuts her mouth completely not allowing her to scream.

Jody around her face which is not covered by ice is pale...due to the coldness.

“ What happened?”

Toshi asked.

“ She didn't say a thing. So she's about to get Mickied”

Syd replied.

“ Oh. Right, get mickied. The above have approved?”

“ Yeah.” Roxxy replied.

“ What's mickied? ”

Asked Sera.

“ It's the last method of our interrogation. When we've done everything to make them talk but they don't. So they got picked.”

Said Syd.

When he finished, Mickey Mannix comes up with tiny lightning run all over both of his hands.

he walks behind Bett Moretz.

While the process is going on... Syd moves next to between Jody and Sera

And he explains to them:

“ The above, or more precisely, our bosses, they didn't just send Mickey here just for no reason. Everyone here is considered to suit a mission.”

Mickey grabs Bett Moretz by both sides of her head, he then releases the electric to flow in between it.

Bett's body was shaken, but she couldn't scream. The only thing coming out of the ice is her moaning.

“ Our brains, they're very fascinating. The complex function they had operated in each activity you've made, is being ordered and transferred by neurons.”

Syd said, points up to his head.

“ Any of you know how to memory is stored in the brain? ”

“...uh, by uh... keeping in each nerve?”

Said Jody.

“ Not at all.” He replied,

“ The way your brain stores the memory is to convert any single event you've experienced into little pieces, A puzzle I would say. It then brings all these many pieces of puzzles and put it on different places Or to make it more precise, the individual memories are scattered all over the brain. Then his job... (Points to Mickey) ...Is to use his power, and look for those pieces in her brain. Remember, Mickey has the power of electricity... So anything that involves electric charges, electric field, or something like that...he can access and take control of it.”

“ Wow...”

“ However, some of the memories may be lost due to the brain's automatic function. Or our target may create fake memory. And another thing is... This method drains Mickey's energy a lot and very risk for him too.”

“ So... to make a comparison... If memories are like pieces of puzzles, Mickey's job is to dive down and look for these puzzles? ”

“ Precisely.”

“ But if the target somehow being aware of this ability, he can counter it back by creating false memories? Like, create a false piece to confuse him?”

“ That's right. This trick is very hard to use against the delusional person or someone like... have a mental problem. Because they effectively confuse Mickey.”

“... Amazing... To be honest, our school's ability users seem to be just a rookie... ” said Sera.

“ Because those people think they're superior to others just because they have abilities. Without knowing, no matter what your ability is... it can turn deadly if you use little your brains. Just saying...”

Syd then realized something...

“ OH! Shit. Right! I almost forgot!”

He pulls out something from his pocket.

It's Seraphina's lighter.

“ I stole it from you before we got in the club... Almost forget to return...so...uh”

“ WHAT ?!... Again?!... Syd, You're gonna rob me anytime you want?!...”

“ Y'know... I kinda like your black&pink lighter... Can I buy it from you?”

“ No.”

“ Sera, count this as my personal request. But you probably need to carry him all the way home. If it doesn't bother you...”

Toshi prays Sera.

“ It drains that much?!...”

Asked Sera.

“ Yeah. He'll be like he takes 10 shots of vodka. He'll probably refuse if you ask him...so... Uh...just do it..okay? I promise he won't have any force left to push you out.”

“ Why don't let him be in Syd's house?”

Asked Jody.

“ Because Mickey can bring back his energy by using electricity. And...he has his own gadget back at Sera's home. So...”

“ Oh... Okay...that's reasonable...."
