"Th-That—That guy has a gun to Alex's head." Nico stuttered.

Karolina made it just in time, but it was too late. You watched in terror as one of the men escorted Alex to a car while the other, whom you presumed to be the leader, remained to speak with someone in front of him. You clutched your necklace in comfort.

"The odds of surviving a confrontation seem increasingly slim," Gert stated.

"We are not abandoning Alex." You told Gert in anger.

"But we have no chance!"

"I say we do," Nico replied. "Karolina, go!"

Karolina nodded and got behind the wheel, following the vehicle where Alex was in. You didn't care if you were in danger or get killed at this point; all that mattered was Alex's safety. And you'll cause chaos if you have to.

Karolina came to a complete halt when the vehicle in front of her came to a complete stop due to the stoplight. You and Nico were about to leave the car when you were both stopped by Gert, Karolina, and Molly. "Wait, stop! No, Nico! (Y/n)!"

"Get off of me!" Nico yelled and was able to get out first while Gert held you back.

"What is she doing?" Molly questioned.

"Stopping him?" Karolina asked.

You watched as Nico stepped in front of the car and activated the staff. You slowly came to a realization. 'How are you going to beat that?'

"Beat what?" You asked softly, earning some looks from Molly, Gert, and Karolina.

'Nico is literally powerful with that staff. What even is your contribution to this team?'

You clenched your fists as your heartbeat increased.

'Put on an illusion? What is this? A magic show? A birthday party?'

Nico turned to face you, Molly, Gert, and Karolina, jerking her head to indicate that the staff wasn't working. Molly got out of the car right away, leaving you with Gert and Karolina.

"Molly!" Gert yelled.

'Your best friend is super strong.'

"What is she doing?" Karolina asked in confusion.

"I don't know," Gert replied.

You watched as Molly lifted the car up from behind, earning a few gasps from Karolina and Gert. The two men in the car got out of their vehicle. "Hey!" The leader, Darius Davis, pointed his gun at Nico until he looked beside him and saw Molly lifting the car. "What in the hell?"

Karolina left the car and removed her bracelet, her skin glowing brightly, and she released beams of light from her hands, blinding Alex's captors. "Alex, run!"

'Oh, cool. She's pretty and glowing. She has useful powers too.'

Molly dropped the car and grinned towards Karolina. "You have superpowers, too?" She excitingly asked. "She's beautiful, and she glows. Great." Gert muttered and got out of the car, leaving you alone inside. You covered your ears in an attempt to block the voices out. "Stop..."

'Alex is rescued, and you didn't do shit.'

When Alex stepped out of the car, Karolina told him to walk up to Nico. Your eyes glowed from red to blue in vice versa, along with the gem of your necklace.

Darius' accomplice immediately ran away, leaving Darius all alone to deal with the teenagers. Karolina stopped using her powers. "I can't hold this much longer." She wore her bracelet again, and she stopped glowing.

"That was cute." Darius complimented. "Y'all little kids best stand down."

'Oh, look. Pretty boy is here.'

You looked back at the front and saw Chase parking his car behind and running towards his friends. "Got the whole gang together, huh?" Darius questioned. You saw Chase using his Fisitigons to blow Darius away using energy blasts.

'You used your powers for your own entertainment, (Y/n).'

Tears prickled down as you clutched each side of your head, feeling more vain and vulnerable than ever before.

'Your powers are useless, and so are you. You don't even remember your life before all of this.'

The crack on the pendant grew bigger, and your eyes changed back and forth from red to blue.

"What is happening right now?" Gert gasped.

Nico chuckled loudly. "I think we're kicking ass!" She and Chase gave each other a high five until Chase accidentally activated his Fistigons, flying him up in the air before dropping on the ground. "Chase!"

Nico helped Chase up and saw a glimpse of you struggling and your eyes changing. "(Y/n)?"

"Nah, nah!" The teenagers heard Darius exclaim. "This ain't how it's about to go down."

"Protect us!" Nico has released a protective spell around using the magical staff, and when the man shot his bullets at her and her friends, it didn't hurt them but instead dropped to the ground. You couldn't move; you were paralyzed by fear from your mind.

When Darius realized the bullets did nothing, he began to run back to his car.

'What are you going to do, (Y/n)? Let him escape?'

You got out of the car and walked past Alex and his friends, stepping through Nico's protective shield. Nico's eyes widened. "(Y/n)?"

"Last name?"

"I... don't have one."

"I can't take you as a volunteer if we don't know your last—"

"I'm not a volunteer! Some man just took me here!"

More memories flooded back as the pendant cracked more.

You raised your arm, stopping Alex's captor from running further away. You tilted your head in wonder and confusion. "The party isn't over yet, mister." You pushed your arm towards you, sending the man in front of you. Darius struggled to get out from the powers you never knew you ever had in the first place. "You try to shoot us with that petty gun of yours again, and I'll split that skull of yours? Got it?"

'What are you waiting for? Kill him!'

Alex furrowed his eyes and stepped back a little while Nico hung her mouth open. Who knew her shy, adopted little sister have powers as well?

Darius nodded, praying for the will to live and begging for your mercy. You scoffed and pushed him away with your powers, then used an illusion to make it appear as though he was looking at an empty street.

"(Y/n)!" Molly exclaimed in surprise. "You never told me you have those powers other than casting illusions!"

You snapped your head to Molly and her friends, your eyebrows furrowed, and your expression was still full of rage. Molly flinched when your eyes were glowing red instead of blue. "(Y/n)?" She asked unsurely.

Nico slowly and carefully walked towards you, turning off the protective charm around her and the others from the staff. "Hey, (Y/n). It's us. Your friends."

You looked at Nico, blinking your eyes. "Friends?" You asked in bafflement. "I have friends?"

Nico eagerly nodded. "Yes, yes! You do!"

"Sitcom?" You instantly looked at Alex, who slightly stepped forward. "You're okay now. We're okay." He reassured.

"The twins survived. This is an accomplishment for us. What happens if she doesn't?"

'Survived? Twins?' Were your last thoughts before collapsing on the road, your face turning paler than ever as if you were drained. Nico and Alex immediately reached out to you, and the others followed behind. "She has powers?" Nico asked as she knelt down beside your unconscious body while Alex brushed a stray strand of your hair out of your pale face. "And she never told me this?"

The team looked at Molly, who slept on Karolina's car's hood. "She's all tapped out." Gert sighed. "We'll question them both later."

Nico nodded. "Let's just call it a night." Nico cradled you in her arms and watched Alex stand up, removing one of his jackets to place it in your body like a blanket. "I'll catch up with you guys later," Alex stated before running away. Nico gasped. "Wait! Alex, wait!" Little did you and the others know, your necklace's pendant was close to being cracked in two.
