I stop by our table for a quick champagne break as Cate and Marie stay out there. Only Andre's here, Jordan and Luke off somewhere.

"So, what's up with you and Jordan?" Andre asks looking up at me and I almost choke on my drink.

"What?" I chuckle lightly. Don't freak out, Iliana. I can feel myself breaking out into a cold sweat over the stupid, simple question. God Iliana, get it together. "Nothings up." I shrug, setting my glass down. I look out into the crowd and find them almost immediately in their girl form, flirting their ass off to win some free drinks. "Why do you ask?" I ask coolly.

Jordan somehow finds my gaze amongst the sweaty bodies everywhere, their eyes filled with many things that I'm too high to give a fuck about. Ugh, I came here to have fun. And I will.

I turn back to Magnet with a smile.

He looks as though he doesn't entirely believe me, but again- doesn't push for more. "Just wondering." He shrugs nonchalantly. But I know he's probably thinking of our snippy little interactions, wondering why our reunion wasn't even an ounce warmer or anything like the rest of them.

"Better get back to the dance floor. You going to find some poor guy or girl to smooth talk?" I smirk teasingly.

"Of course." He laughs into his drink. "I have good opening line tonight." He winks and we part ways and I find the girls.

I close my eyes and let my body move to the music, feeling the Molly real nicely. Thankfully no one has came by and grabbed my ass yet and I'm just getting to finally enjoy my night, letting the floating fog coat my brain and thoughts.

"Oh shit, someone's rolling." Cate chimes.

I open my eyes and see Marie looking around in awe. Yep, Molly's kicking in.

"I think. Yeah. Definitely." She laughs. She seems to let loose some more and all three of us dance closer to each other. I must admit, it's fun watching someone on drugs for their first time.

My high is suddenly cut short when suddenly I hear screaming and the music shuts off.

"What the fuck?" I mutter, looking to Cate.

We hurry over and she gasps. I quickly come around her to find a girl bleeding out on the ground with Andre's hand on her neck.

My eyes widen as I step back bumping into Cate. Oh shit. Luke appears next to Marie.

Jordan pushes past us, back in their guy form, and slides down beside Andre. "Oh my God. What the hell happened?"

"Uh, I think I hit an artery, dude!" Andre freaks out. "Aw, fuck! Some fuck bumped into me! I think she's gonna die, man. She's bleeding out."

Luke puts his hands over head as I begin to rub temples. "Holy shit." Hol-y shit! This is... this-

"We need to call 911!" Jordan rushes out.

"They won't get here in time." Cate quickly responds. "We need to go."

"We need to get the fuck out of here now." Jordan firmly says in Andre's ear. I snap out of my shock, ignoring the spinning of my head.

"Magnet! Let's go!" I snap at him. We cannot be caught in the middle of this, we will all be so fucking dead.

Jordan pulls him up and we hurry to an exit.

"What the fuck were you doing!" I whisper-shout at him. What was he thinking?! None of us are in the right state to be doing tricks and shit right now.

"And I can't tell you how sorry I am to tell you this, but... you're being expelled." Brink tells Marie as she sits in his office, expecting to be accepted into the School of Crimefighting for saving the girls life last night at the club.

"What?" Marie freezes.

"See, Golden Boy, Golden Girl, Andre, Jordan, they're going all the way. They could save thousands of people. But not if TMZ finds out that they almost let a woman bleed to death because they were high."

Iliana would argue that she was not the one who caused the bleeding, but she would go down for Andre, without a doubt. Though she would save him first, which is why she knew there was nothing they could do but leave. None of them were in their right minds to try and save the woman. All freaked out beyond belief that within a matter of seconds their careers could be destroyed before they even began. Marie had nothing to lose. Now, rather that makes them selfish and Marie a better person than them or not is all about whose side you're trying to see.

"Somebody's got to take that hit." Brink explains. "You get that. Look, you saved that woman. But, you know, you kind of slit her throat accidentally first. And that's grounds for removal."

𖤓 𖤓 𖤓

Iliana tosses side to side as sun beams burst all throughout the room before she hastily raises up, gasping awake, and screams as the light scatters and shatters the lights above.

She grabs her chest as her heavy breathing slows and she tries to pluck her mind for whatever nightmare she was having, but it was gone. She sighs in frustration, pulling at her hair before peeling herself out of bed. She felt gross from the club, and sweating off all the drugs, so she steps around all the glass and drags herself to the bathroom to wash it all away, unaware of her phone buzzing off its hinges as Luke tries to call her again for the third time.

ɪʟɪᴀɴᴀ's ᴘᴏᴠ

As I walk across campus to Jitter Bean I notice a crowd forming outside of the School of Crimefighting building. When I see someone on fire my pace quickens and push my way through the forming crowd.

"Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?" I yell out, coming across Luke on fire and Andre and Marie standing across from him.

I see someone recording out of the corner of my eye. "Turn that off." I shove the camera out of the guys hand as Luke's flames die out and he falls into Andre for a hug.

"Illie?" Luke looks up at me in tears.

"Luke?" I look around with crazed eyes like a mad woman. Can somebody please tell me what the fuck is going on? "Luke, what's wrong?" I walk up to him and place both hands on his cheeks. "Hey, shh, hey, what happened?"

"I'm sorry." He pulls me in. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." I rub his back. "We can fix it. Whatever the fuck it is we can fix it, okay? We always do."

"I love you." He says.

"I love you too, Luke." I nod strongly. "A fuck ton."

He lets go and takes a step back.

"Luke?" I look at him.

"Luke, come on." Magnet echo's.

His eyes light up orange. Oh my God, WHAT is going on?!

"Luke, you're scaring me." I take a deep breath. "Let's just go inside, get you some clothes..."

"I'm so sorry." He repeats.

My eyes widen. "Luke-"

"Take care of her, okay?" He looks at Andre.

"Wha- Lu Lu, come on." My head is spinning. What's happening??

His body lights up again.

"Luke!" I yell, taking a step towards him. "This isn't funny anymore, okay?" Andre moves closer to me, grabbing my elbow. "No- Luke!"

His body shakes and I quickly move my hands out to do something.

"Don't." He warns before taking off, soaring up to the sky. My whole body goes numb.

"I-I" Oh my God, Illiana, speak! "I-I have to go up there." Suddenly he explodes-

He, he explodes...

My ears start to ring and I hear a blood-curdling scream. Then I realize.

It's me.

I'm screaming.

Blood instantly falls from the sky and splatters on everyone's faces and time stops. It literally stops. I fall back into Andre's body and slide to the ground. He follows me down, wrapping his arms around me. I start sobbing uncontrollably, unable to control or process any of my emotions or bodily reactions.

"Magnet..." I choke out. My body's shaking. "Ma-"

What just happened???

What just happened?!

Wake up. Wake up, wake up, wake up, please wake up! Please, this is a nightmare, this has to just be a nightmare....

No, no. No, no, no, no, no.

Hey...

So it's here :(

I kept juggling with myself of how to write Iliana in this scene or like what part she should come in for and I think originally I wasn't even gonna have her be in this scene at all and come when Cate came lmao (like what!!) but I really like the moment I had her come in for. And tbh, this scene confused the fuck outta me when I first watched it lmao, still kinda does bc everything was just so weird and happened so fast so that's how I wrote it for Iliana bc like- how tf is she supposed to know what's going onnnn??!

Also this chapter made the realization kick in that Iliana and Luke barely had any scenes together💔Which of course I knew that so I really tried to give them interactions but ugh it wasn't enough!!

Anyways, hope y'all enjoyed, until episode 2...
