Chapter 13

"You know Ms. Choi, all this pain could've been avoided if you hadn't acted so naughty." Martin Proctor said to Grace Choi as he watched her writhe on the ground of her cell as she was electrocuted.

"Go to hell." Grace snarled, against her better judgement.

"Oh, and here I thought that you were finally starting to learn some respect for your elders." Proctor said as he moved to press the remote to trigger Grace's shock collar, right as a shockwave knocked him back.

Proctor looked up to see a black woman dressed in some kind of black and yellow suit.

"Who are you? Bumblebee's girlfriend?" Proctor asked.

"You see, you really shouldn't insult a pissed off black woman. Especially when she can do this." Thunder said as she slammed her foot into the ground, sending a shockwave through the ground, sending Proctor flying back as she ran up to Grace and Thunder's heart broke at how terrified Grace looked at her.

"Who are you?" Grace asked.

"Someone who can help you. But you have to trust me to get you out of here." Thunder said.

"She's not going anywhere. And neither are you." Proctor said as he tried to turn on the floor's metahuman power dampeners, but to his shock, they weren't working.

"What's the matter? Are your toys not working?" Thunder asked with a grin, since Gambi had disabled the entire facility's meta power dampener.

"I've still got numbers with tactical training." Proctor said as the room was filled by ASA guards.

"You really think I came here alone?" Thunder asked, as suddenly, the ceiling collapsed as Black Lightning dropped in, rings of electricity surrounding him before they shot off him and took out the ASA agents.

"Black Lightning. You're alive." Proctor said.

"Unfortunately for you." Black Lightning said as he blasted Proctor with a ton of energy. Not enough to kill him, but enough to knock him out.

"Knew you couldn't resist." Thunder said and Black Lightning smiled.

"Welcome back Thunder. You get Grace, I'm gonna see if there are any other metas here that need to be released." Black Lightning said and Thunder nodded as she watched her father go check out the facility as she walked towards Grace.

"Come on, you're free now." Anissa said.

"You really expect me to believe that?" Grace asked as Anissa moved to remove her collar, but Grace stopped her.

"No. It has a failsafe. If it's removed incorrectly, it'll explode." Grace warned and Anissa nodded.

"Gambi, I hope you got a hold of our friend with mind tricks, because I think that is what it will take to get Grace to trust me." Anissa said.

"He actually sent us some tech to do that ourselves." Gambi said over the comms.

"What happens to the collar if Grace tries to leave the premises?" Thunder asked, since she needed to make sure that she wouldn't be putting Grace in danger.

"It looks like the collar is synced up with the facility's security system. If she leaves, it'll deliver enough electricity to taze an elephant." Gambi said.

"Great. So what do I do?" Thunder asked.

"I've already sent assistance." Gambi said and before Anissa could ask what he was talking about, Lightning dropped through the roof.

"Lightning." Thunder said.

"Welcome back. I think I can use my powers to remove Grace's collar." Lightning said.

"Will it hurt?" Grace asked nervously.

"Not if you stay still." Lightning said and Grace nodded as she did her best to stay as still as she could as Lightning walked up to her and gently used a small electric current to deactivate Grace's collar.

"There, you can take it off now." Lightning said as Grace cautiously reached up and closed her eyes as she removed her collar and sighed in relief when it came off harmlessly.

"Okay come on, we need to move. Black Lightning is checking for any other prisoners then we're gonna trigger this place's self destruct." Lightning said.

"Wait what?" Thunder asked.

"Plans got complicated when you engaged Proctor. We need to keep the element of surprise." Lightning said as Thunder nodded and tried to help Grace up, though it was clear her legs were not strong enough to support her, so Thunder picked Grace up bridal style before she and Lightning made their way out of the base.
