Peter
[She's hanging out in a jail cell, she hasn't slipped out yet. Apparently sticking a knifepoint robber into the side of a building is bad because they have to demolish the wall to carve them out and take them to prison. She has a few charges of property damage. She sketches the costume designs on the walls with a pencil aimlessly as she tries to avoid thinking about last week.]
Did you go to visit Iron Man yet?
[Teen Vigilantes + Micah]
So you guys are all staying in the towers now?
[Cordy]
Do you think my boyfriend's going to come? [She says, but this isn't a real question, she just wants Cordy to ask about it so she can elaborate on how much she misses him. And also she wants to make sure Cordy even wants to hear about it. She has a lot of feelings, okay?]
Iron Man + Cordy (at midnight)
[She's happy in her little gang of misfits, they're stealing and partying and living on the edge, but then she notices that a few people go missing. The people who didn't make what they were supposed to in the day. She walks over to the leader after dinner and sits next to him, asking about what happens. He gives a few non-answers and she pretends to be reassured because she's starting to get really creeped out. That night when everyone falls asleep, she notices he walks out of the warehouse when everyone's asleep. He gets into an unmarked moving van. She sneaks on, turning invisible, there are cages all around with people in them. They're wearing bags over their heads with numbers. She slips through the bars and puts a bag on her head, reappearing so she won't be noticed if her invisibility wears off.
They're carried off to the other side of town and loaded into a sweatshop. She slips through the wall as they're unloaded into a room and presses her ear up to it so that she can hear what's said. If they leave, they'll be shot. If they tell anyone, they'll be shot. If they're unproductive, they'll be shot. This is their life now. Her heartbeat is pounding so loud she's sure they'll hear her, the ball in her throat grows and she feels like she's suffocating. She can't believe this is happening to them. The leader boards the now-empty truck and they pull away. She slips back into the room and starts trying to get the people to leave with her, but they don't move. They point at the cameras.] We have to go, just come with me. [She pleads, trying to urge them out with her, but nobody wants to die, so they don't move from their newly assigned workstations. One of the guards comes up to her and tells her to get to work or get to dead. She refuses, he pulls out his gun and her skin hardens as she glares at him, still refusing. He pulls the trigger and it ricochets off of her and lands square in his nose. He falls to the floor, dead. More guards start to run down the stairs to fight, but she runs to close the door. She didn't kill anyone. He's not dead. He's not really dead. She pulls out her tablet with shakey hands and calls to Iron Man and Cordy]
Come- [Once she starts talking, the suffocating feeling pours out as tears] come help. Something really bad is happening. [Enables location services]. I think-- I think maybe-- I think he's dead.
