Arthur took a deep breath, "I can't tell you, Ann. It's for your own good."
"Very well." Ann replied.
Without warning, Ann fired her mind forward, plunging her mental state directly into Arthur's memories. A simple mind reading, nothing more. Or it would be, if Arthur wasn't a talented Esper in his own right.
With a grimace, he fought back, forcing Ann out of his mind. Not giving up, Ann continued. Her nose started to bleed from the mental strain, and a beam of light developed between their foreheads as mental energy raged. Pain raced from Ann's mind to her eyes, and down her nerves into the rest of her body.
Arthur replied first, slipping his guard for half a second, "Stop, Ann! You'll kill yourself!"
"Tell me what I want to know!" Ann shouted; the corners of her vision were going black, and it wasn't long until she couldn't see at all. Not that she needed to, a mental battle was fought in words, words that Arthur was doing excellent at hiding.
"Ann! Stop!"
"WHO IS IT! WHY CAN'T I KNOW!" Memories and surface thoughts flickered through her mind as she penetrated Arthur's defences. An intense burning burrowed through her skin. There was a face, cackling in the fire, she was so close. Just a little more power. The sounds of the world vanished as she probed deeper. She was nearly there.
And then, nothing. Arthur's thoughts vanished. Ann opened her eyes, only to realise she still couldn't see anything. Probing forward with her mind, she still couldn't sense anyone else. It took hours, but slowly, her senses returned.
Arthur was dead. The mental strain was too much for his body to handle. Ann simply let out an annoyed shout. Great, she was no closer to having answers, and now she had to spend all the remaining night discarding of a body.
Grabbing a hammer, Ann set to work. Destroy the teeth, mangle the face, burn the fingers. Yes...it was like riding a bicycle. And in the morning, she'd have to find some other way of tracking down this mystery man. -
Atemu was reaching of the box of cookies "come on....just a little closer..." he said as his fingers brushed the box
-
Angela got bored. She walked around the large base. Angela entered a room with a book on a table, a bright light shining only on the book, and a chair. Sitting in a chair Angela opened the book and began reading.
Jason sighed as he walked around the empty halls. He went into the kitchen to grab a snack. -
Atemu fell off the fridge and landed on his.back "DAM IT!!!! WHY AM I SO f---ING SHORT!!!"
-
Jason chuckled and grabbed the box of cookies.
-
Atemu looked at him sheepishly "thanks..."
-
"No problem, but you owe me" Jason said as he ate a cookie.
-
Atemu chuckled as he took the box "don't i always"
-
"Alright I'll think of something I want you to do but for now enjoy these cookies" Jason said as he threw the box to him.
-
Atemu smiled and sat down
-
Jason entered the same room Angela was in. "Angela you better have a good explanation for why your in here?" Jason said as he crossed his arms.
"I-I......just found it here and I couldn't resist" Angela said as she closed the book. She then stood up sighing. -
Atemu ate the cookies and went to his room
-
Ann's leather jacket had gone through a lot worse than a little scorching, so it should come as no surprise that, when she entered the base, a fresh layer of leather had been stitched over the worst of the burn. She passed by Atemu, but decided not to bother him while he was eating. She searched through the rooms for Angela, and eventually found her in the library.
"Alright, pack your bags. I've been talking with the UEF and we've got a plane to catch in two days. We need to get a picture for your new passport, a fake birth certificate and various other credentials before then, so leg up! No time to waste." -
Atemu saw ann and abandonded his cookies to follow her
-
Angela nodded yet a bit confused. Angela stood up sighing. The book she had been reading was filled with a few techniques Angela could use. Angela walked down the hall and entered her room.
"Why did you go see the UEF?" Jason asked.
