Jerome punched the doors opened as he previously did and when he got in,he saw one of his favorite things:Bombs.Grenades,EMPs,Dynamite,you name it.He took 10 grenades and a few EMPs and opened the next door,mainly filled with guns.He gestured to the two he had opened."Take anything you need."

"Um... Do I have to..?" Rosie asked quietly, somewhat frightened at all the frightening weapons in one place. She had entered the room and was glancing around.

"Listen,I cant protect you if something goes wry and I don't think the weather can help all the way down here."Jerome answered friendlily.

Rosie hesitantly picked up a small hand gun. She didn't really know the details about it, or how it worked. If something happened to Jerome she wanted to be sure she could keep him safe. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but if worse came to worse, maybe Jerome was right.
Agents had snuck into the hall while they were in the room. These agents were ready to shoot, as soon as they spotted their targets. This time, they were shooting out nets of metal mesh. These weren't any normal nets. They were set to use electricity on their target; to shock them to an unmoving state, similar in ways to a taser.

Jerome stared blankly at the agents."You see,"He started,not knowing if Rosie could hear him."Metal is very useful."He still had the metal bar and his bones were starting to get a metal coating.He caught one of the nets and threw it back at the agents.
He hated how these people were too stupid to recognize they need more than weapons to beat him."Now please stop before I nuke this entire place."He offered and formed the ball in his hand again,pulsating menacingly.

Two of them were caught in the net and were reduced to twitching on the floor. It was incredibly skilled to maneuver the nets as such, and with metal nonetheless, which was known to be conductive. Maybe he was immune to such a charge. "I wouldn't do that if I was you," a feminine voice called out. The agents parted, revealing May walking towards Jerome. This time she was wearing a different suit. It was silver and black and gleamed in the light. The mask she wore might conceal her identity, but the voice was definitely hers. "You don't want the whole place to cave in now do you? You may be strong, but could you really get you and your friend out here alive?" She said, nodding to Rosie, who was peeking out of the gun room.

"If I could remember where we were last,then yes,I could."Jerome replied with a chuckle."It'd be you who'd get caved in upon."

"If that's the case, why are you still here? You could be gone right now. You can't really do it, can you..." May mused, walking ever closer to Jerome.

"Like I said:If I can remember where we were last."Jerome replied smoothly."I got out of that room didn't I?"

"If? You don't sound very certain. And if not?" May stopped six feet away from Jerome. "That was only a pane of glass seperating us earlier."

"Then I'd have to remember somewhere else and hope the time laps hasn't closed."

"Sounds pretty risky. Even if you did remember, it would be pretty far away. Much farther than earlier," May added.

"They reach as far as the oceans."Jerome replied blankly."So I suggest not trying to use anything to keep me here.Anything."

May watched him in silence. She should just admit it. She had become too ambitious. Even so, something didn't quite add up. Sighing, she crossed her arms. "Fine. Then go. Teleport out of here."

"Once again,if I remember where I was last."Jerome backed up and became level with Rosie."Where were we last?"He asked,still looking at May.

"I-I don't know. My house, or when we were in the vehicle?" Rosie murmured. "My house is on Summers St., just a couple blocks away from were we met."
May watched. Maybe he was telling the truth. They'd just have to wait and see. If not, she was ready to fight if needed.

"I can work with that."Jerome thought about her house and eventually remembered the living room they were in.He shot a portal onto the ground."Jump in."He said to Rosie.

Rosie looked at Jerome. With complete trust in her new friend, she jumped in.
May and her fellow agents simply watched.

Jerome jumped afterward and closed it behind him.They then arrived at Rosie's house."Well,that was...interesting.Think we should tell some others with powers,in case May tries to do this to someone else?"

The carpet was suddenly at her feet and she looked down in surprise. She was in the livingroom. Jumping through a portal was quite intruiging, and even exhilarating. "Yeah..." Rosie murmured in agreement.
A woman walked into the livingroom from the kitchen and froze. She dropped the cup she was holding and it clattered to the floor. Water ran out onto the carpet.
"Mom?" Rosie stared at the woman in the doorway with growing excitement. "I'm so glad you are okay! I thought you were out on vacation." She ran over to her mother.

Rosie embraced her mother, and her mother returned it almost hesitantly. She was glancing uneasily at Jerome.
A man joined her mother at the door. "What's going-" he stopped, a surprised look on his face. He exchanged a glance with his wife, then they looked back at Rosie.
"The uh... The flight didn't work out, hon," her mother explained, glancing to one side.
The father walked past them, and approached Jerome. "Jerome, huh? What are you doing here."
"Easy dad. He's a friend." Rosie pulled away from the embrace and walked up to her dad and Jerome.

The two parents seemed rather confused. Rosie took her father's hand, and then led him closer to the door so she could also take her mother's hand. "Dad, mom... We were taken by some strangers. They said they would hurt you if we didn't. They took us in like prisoners. It was only thanks to Jerome that we managed to escape!" That was her short quick version anyways.
Her mother had put a hand to her face, and exchanged a look of shock and horror with her husband.
"Not only that, but... I have powers!"
Rosie's mother dropped her gaze, and her father let out a sigh and looked his daughter in the eyes. "We know."

"You see,that might've gotten her killed."Jerome butted in."I knew someone who got put to death because he could control metal without knowing it and ended up killing hundreds of people on a bridge when he was mad."

Rosie's mother looked up. "That's why we were looking for help. I didn't know it would turn out like this..." she choked out, on the verge of sobbing. "I'm so sorry, Rosie."
"What do you mean..?" Rosie asked, an uncomfortable feeling in her chest.

Zed looked at her, and turned away from the table. He crossed his arms and met her gaze. "Waro's been like this for as long as I've known him. I've pieced together a few things about his past. From what I've heard, he used to have some close friends..." His frown changed into a smile when a new thought occured to him. "Though you're doing pretty good, considering. He's never brought anyone in here before." She smiled bright right back at him. "Oh? Hmm. Well, all things considered, he's really closed off. Maybe he's just tired of the loneliness?" Something inside her tingled all at once then. That same feeling from when she was mind controlled before. As if it was something she recognized, but was absolutely foreign to her. Hornet nearly doubled over, holding her head. "W-Woah..." She reached out for something to hold onto.

Enix glared at him, but her eyes softened, “No, you don’t deserve that.” She murmured, and she sighed. Holly looked like an abused puppy, but nodded to Ollie, “Yeah, I think she can sense your aura,” she murmured, and made quick eye contact with Arien, who nodded back to her before she silently teleported away. Enix turned back to apologize, but Holly was gone, and her eyes turned sharp once more, “Whatever, all she does is run anyways.” 13 smiled back with a nervous chuckle. "Okay, let's go. Come on."

Rosie asked, an uncomfortable feeling in her chest. Jerome shook his head in disappointment."In what universe does that ever work?"He said,half to himself.

"They said they could help you..." Rosie's father rumbled. "But it seems we were wrong." He too, looked ashamed.
"Wait... Are you saying-" Rosie was shocked at this new revelation. She almost felt... betrayed. --- Zed opened his mouth to add something, when Hornet suddenly grasped her head. He quickly reached forwards, grabbing hold of her shoulders with strong calloused hands. "Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?"
