The Plan

Gabriel explodes into laughter and I can hear Crynn's stunned silence, wondering why I didn't make his friend float up to the ceiling, why I didn't Magnetize my hand so my busted cell door would come flying at me. But all my attention is on the rude boy in front of me. I didn't show him the full extent of my powers because he didn't deserve to see it. I'm glaring at Rip, who's leaning away from me when Crynn grabs my elbow and pulls me back.

"Why'd you do that?" Crynn whispers to me. I only shrug in response. I hear Rip laugh nervously, I glance back at him and he's tangling his fingers in his dog tag's chain. I scoff at him,

"Not so tough anymore are ya Blazie-boy!" I taunt while crossing my arms, Gabriel stutters into a laugh and shakes Rip's arm.

"Ha! Not so tough- I love it! Do you get it Rip? Do you get it?" Rip yanks his arm out of Gabriel's grip,

"I get it," He growls while trying to flatten his hair back down. "It wasn't that clever Gabriel."

"Are we going to get to the planning?" Alpha cuts in coldly while glaring at Crynn and I, "Or are we going to keep poking each other for fits and giggles?" Crynn clears his throat.

"Uh right. So I was thinking that we could pretend to be guards taking Raylee to the doctors for a check-up or something. What do you think Raylee?" I nod my head in thought,

"It could work, you'll have to make sure no one will recognize you because obviously, they don't wear helmets." I continue to explain how the gems work and let Arrow and Vega practice on me. I also tell them my daily check-up schedule so we have a time frame for them to get me out before the real guards get suspicious.

"Do you know where the guards keep their uniforms?" Alpha asks, I shake my head.

"No, but I'll find out and let you know. Crynn, can you keep coming here for visits under the excuse that you haven't finished your project yet? That way I can give you information and you can give me some." He nods and a thought strikes me, making me shuffle my feet.

"Uh, also I was wondering if we'd be able to take another person?" Crynn looks surprised as he glances at everyone in the room,

"Sure I guess. Who do you want to bring?" He shrugs,

"Well she's a little girl who's stuck here too and she feels like a little sister to me. She's- pretty powerful and can help me get the information on the guards' uniforms." Vega opened her mouth probably to ask questions about Snowbird when a quiet crackle reached my ears. The guards were listening.

"Uh, Signey! What was it you were telling me about school?" Poor Signey looks confused and scared about me shouting at her and putting her on the spot. Her eyes are wide and her feet shuffle.

"But I didn't-"

"Yes, you did!" I couldn't tell them what I was doing and unfortunately, none of them caught on. I listened with half an ear to Signey's quiet mumblings about her school life, while I reached a hand up and pinched my fingers. The lone speaker in the hall crunched into itself from the extreme force I was pushing onto it and shattered on the floor. The group had turned around at the sound of the speaker hitting the ground, they stared at it with their mouths dragging on the floor. Arrow smirked at his brother,

"Bro, that could've been your head!" Rip looks over at me and I smile innocently.

"Don't catch flies."

Vega grinned at me while Crynn looked at me in confusion.

"What was that for? Don't tell me now you had to show off your incredible Heavie skills!"

I shake my head with a smile,

"The guards were listening in, you could hear the crackle of the microphone." I noticed Alpha giving me an approving look. Not exactly a smile, but you could tell that if she knew how to, one would be there.

"Anyway, Vega, what were you going to say before I interrupted you?"

"Oh! I was going to ask what the girl's powers were. But now I want to know what yours are as well!"

I chuckle at her nervous but excited ramble.

"Well I'm a Heavie, I mainly control gravity. But I can also control magnetism and a very limited amount of electricity." I hear a low whistle and look at Gabriel, when he catches my eye he smiles,

"Dang."

I look away.

"Snowbird," I take a deep breath not knowing how they're going to take this news, "She kills people."
