Eric struggled with his bondages, screaming to anyone who would hear until he could stream no longer.

Encapsulated in the silence and endless white Eric drew closer and closer to loosing his sanity. Suddenly there was a sound a part of the white split to reveal a door, the professor walked in with that insufferable grin on his face with both arms behind him.

Taking slow but confident steps he arrived close to Eric watching him with interest.

The professor: “X-1, how are we doing?”

Eric: “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” Eric tugged at his restraints as he snarled at the professor who was but an arm’s length away.

The professor: “Doing well I see. You see I’m here for the same reason I was before, we have some blood samples but things would go even smoother if you cooperate”

Eric: “I’ll never help you.” Eric spat at his feet.

The professor looked down at his feet, before looking back at Eric that unnerving smile still present on his face.

The professor: “Never, such a strong word. I have something to show you I think you will be inclined to change your mind after.”

Saying so the professor, brought his arms from his back revealing the seek black tablet in his arms. Eric trained his eye on the screen, wanting to what exactly the professor thought was enough to change his mind.

On the screen the image of Elise alongside Rose in a white room similar to his own was shown, both of them were unconscious and had yet to awaken. Eric’s heart tightened seeing the image on the screen, he was well aware of the man before himself and knew that the girls were in danger. Eric opened his mouth but was unable to utter a word.

The professor: seeing the look on Eric’s face his grin got even wider, “are you wondering where the agents are, why didn’t they protect them?”

With that he provided the answers as the scene on the screen changed to show a split screen. On the right side was Valarie, she was chained to a wall with a trail of blood from the corner of her lip alongside some bruises on her face. On the left was Agent Michaels, who was locked in a different place with his hand chained to the wall as well.

He was in a relatively good condition with a few bruises here and there, both agents were knocked out.

The professor: “you see X-1, no one can stop me. We are both adults here so there is no need to go through the old routine, so… what say you?”

Eric grit his teeth, clenching his feet he stared the professor in his eye and if looks could kill the professor would be six feet under. A minute after Eric relaxed his fist.

Eric: “fine, just… don’t hurt them, please.”

The professor: “I’m a man of my word.”

As his words ended four people in white came in to undo his restraints.

In Valarie’s cell, she awoke slowly squinting taking in her surroundings. She was stunned for a moment before she remembered past events, fighting the masked Demi-human. Remembering everything she tried moving but was stopped brining her attention to her arms which were chained above her to a wall.

Taking a quick look at her self all her tools and weapons were gone as she had expected, she turned to face the camera at the corner which was watching her every move.

Her mind went into overdrive as she thought of what had happened and where she was, the demi-human had taken her out then judging from the lack of men coming over to interrogate her after she awoke, probably found the rest.

They were then placed in separate cells, but the cells are probably close to one another if anything Elise and the child are probably farther away. The professor would use them to guarantee the smooth co-operation of Eric.

In the short span of a few minutes, Valarie had come up with a plan of action. Using her index finger to force against her thumbnail she managed to remove a small, barely visible pin which she hid there incase of emergencies.
