"Deal."

Sylvester sat on the chair facing the body on the other chair in front of him. She is dangerous. That is the only thing he knew about her and he needed to protect his son. He didn't even know her name, "Conner." Sylvester turned around to stare at his boy who was leaning on the wall, "Did Mary get out any more information from her?" Conner nodded, "Her name's Terra and her ability is telekinesis." The elderly man nodded and the two snapped their gaze back to the figure who was stirring awake. Terra groaned, her eyes fluttered open and her head tilted to the side slightly as she glared at the old man.

She tried to sit up but her arms were pulled back making her snap back into the seat with a hiss, "Let me go." Sylvester shook his head, "I am quite sorry about this but you are a danger to the people who are living here and need to be restrained." Terra chuckled but with no humor, letting Sylvester continue, "You nearly killed my son but I am a kind man and I would like to make a deal with you." She nodded her head, "What deal?" He moved his chair to come sit closer to her, "You've been outside and I need information about certain things that I have come to know that you could have been present for."

Terra shook her head and took a glance at Conner who was watching her closely in case she did anything, "Why don't you people just go outside?" She leaned back making herself more comfortable, "It's not that hard just open the door." Slyvester's eyes turned dark and he turned to look at his son, "One." The chair rattled as a scream of pain ran through the air. After a couple seconds he turned back to Terra, "I'm going to ask one more time." Terra breathed heavily but didn't let her eyes waver from his. "You will give me what I need or else."

"You think this will help?" Terra chuckled, "I've been through this already, my body can handle the pain of being electrocuted." She leaned her face closer so that they were nose to nose, "Over and over again." "Two." Her teeth clenched as bolts raced around her body, after a couple of seconds her body fell back into the chair as she panted, her chest raising up and down quickly, "If I do decide to give you anything I want information too." Terra's voice came out strained and Conner felt his strong facade falling at the sight of the pain in her eyes.

Sylvester clapped his hands, "Now we're getting somewhere." He smiled with glee sitting back in his chair, allowing one leg cross over the other, "Deal."

"First." Conner said making her eyes move to his, "Mary said there was a man." Terra felt her anger raise, "His name is Ryan, lives in a broken down factory. Maybe a couple blocks away from here but I don't know what here is so I can't say for sure." The white haired man stared at her expecting her to continue but she didn't. "Most of the children here cannot go outside, they have never been raised outside. I found them and raised them in here, there bodies did not build a resistance to the radioactivity. The would die the minute they stepped out of here."

A smirk came upon the girls face and her eyebrows lifted in amusement, "Interesting lie Mr. Leader." She mocked him and he stood up making his chair fall back, it hit the ground with a bang. "You Sylvester are the one that can't go out, by the look of your eyes, you are slowly going blind and I am guessing it's because your body is not constructed to deal with the outside. You are dying slowly." Terra felt it before she saw it and her head fell to the side, blood spilling down her chin.

She continued as the blood dripped down to the ground creating a tiny pit pat sound, "You think that I will be able to get you to the man who created me. Believe that if he could give you abilities you will be able to live in this world." Terra moved to face him head on and she shook her head, "It won't work." She chuckled.

He raised his hand but inches from her face it stopped, "They died." Sylvester glared at the girl with hardened eyes. "He killed all of them." His hands fell limp to his side and Conner rushed to him pulling him away from the girl and closer to the door. "You are lying!" Sylvester hissed and pointed at her. "You will take me to him."

Him and Conner both walked out of the room and Terra shook her head leaning back against the chair as the silence filled the air, "What a fool."
