Ava's head throbbed with pain. She groaned and lifted her head up. She went to stan but…she couldn't. She then realized she was tied to a chair with her hands tied behind her back. What?!? She began to tug against the restraints with no avail.
"There's no use, sweetheart." Aika grinned wickedly, spinning around in the office chair to look at her captive. "Got a girl scout to tie 'em."
group
Ava looked up to see where the voice came from, only to reel back in horror. It was Siren. How? What happened? Oh no. Oh no. Oh god no. Please say this is a dream. Please say this is a dream.
"Aw, you look kinda confused. You've been kidnapped! Isn't that exciting!" Aika clapped her hands together, eyes lighting up in a wicked sort of glee.
group
Ava began to began to breath more rapidly as she paniced. She was in the hands of the enemy. What was she going to do to her?
"You're a pretty little thing, that's for sure." Aika stood, and slowly circled Ava, examining her.
group
Ava began to panic even more. "W-What d-do you w-want from m-me?" Ava asked, realizing how pathetic she sounded stuttering.
"Aw, and you even have an adorable stutter!" Aika's heels stopped their slightly menacing clicking as she crouched in front of Ava. "We're going to have so much fun together!"
group
Ava's breath quickened and she began to shake. This was great. Just great.
"Hey, calm down! I'm not gonna hurt ya!" Aika reached out, tucking a loose strand of Ava's hair behind her ear.
group
Ava flinched away when she touched her, making the strand of hair fall back down. "W-What d-do you w-want from m-me?" She repeated.
Aika pouted, but stood up. "I thought you'd have figured it out by now, or at least guessed, seeing as you are a scientist. But not just any scientist, are you?"
group
Ava's eyes widened. She knew. How could she know? Very few people knew about them. "W-What are y-you t-talking about?" She asked, trying to play dumb.
"Why, I'm talking about you working for [hero]! I know things, and people, you see." She tossed her hair over her shoulder. "I'm good at getting people to talk, too."
group
"I-I don't know wh-what y-your t-talking about." She said, not wantin her to know the truth.
"Oh, but I think you do." She purred, moving closer, and there was an odd almost lyrical quality to her voice, extremely compelling. She was using her power.
group
Ava felt some invisibe force pushing her, trying to her to tell Siren everything. "I-I-I…I," She said trying to keep herself from spilling the truth.
"You can trust me, you know." Aika's voice was soothing, and she added just a bit more power.
group
"I-I…I work f-for…Shockwave." Ava said reluctantly.
(Shockwave is the only hero name I could think of on the spot.)
"There you go, see? Wasn't too hard."
group
Despite her words Ava was still panicing. She looked at the floor, not wanting to look at her.
Aika sighed. "Honey, it's alright. I promised I wouldn't hurt you."
group
Ava hated this. She hated feeling vulnerable. Expecially in front of her. God. This can't get much worse.
"Hmph. Are you hungry then? Thirsty?"
group
Ava shook her head franticly. She was actually really thirsty but she didn't say out of fear that anything that Siren gave her would be poisoned.
Aika disappeared into another room for a bit, coming out with a sealed water bottle. "Here!"
