There were two pieces of good luck for the captives on that day. One of those pieces was the ace in the hole, the luck that no one else realized they had. Or else the first piece of luck would never have happened.
The first piece of luck was that they had been brought outside. Away from the base, blindfolded in the back of a van so they had no idea where they were taken, except that it was the middle of nowhere with lots of dirt and trees and frozen ground. Accompanied by the Doctor, his weird assistant, and three burly security guards who looked as though they could each take down a Mac truck.
Some tests were to be done outside. To see how Seth could work with proper earth beneath his feet. To see how Nova could draw water from the outdoors, from the air and the frozen plants. To see how the twins could phase through trees. To see if Ronald could read the auras of other living things, not just humans. And Bruce... well he was there to keep Ronald calm.
It wouldn't have seemed lucky at all, not with the metal collars they wore, ready to blow their heads off if they stepped a millimeter out of line. But that as there luck number two came in.
Apparently one of the security guards thought that being a child meant stupidity, and had mentioned, within Ronald's hearing, that the collrs were dummies. Ronald, of course, had repeated this to Bruce, who had repeated it to all the other captives in whispered voices, and then they knew. So when they were brought outside, it seemed like an opportunity. Maybe the only opportuniuty they would have.
They didn't have a lot of chance to plan, not without a chance of being overheard. All they had decided was that Seth would create a distraction with his ablities and then they would run. Fast, hard and as far as they could.
