Chapter 3, Break Down in the Dungeon

(from now on the chapters will switch between good and bad mid chapter instead of being completely one side's POV)
Cory's POV

I, like everyone else, was thinking back on what had happened now that we're back at base. Barney heard a yelp and ran to see the childish cop passed out, the ninja guy jumped on me but we landed in an... uncomfortable position, Adam was eyeing a detective from over the screens which is why he wasn't helping, and Max 'accidentally' knocked out mr. derp.

"Dinner's ready!" I heard Barney yell, he doesn't talk much but when he does he has two voices. This was his real voice while the accent is just what he uses when we do baddie stuff. Everyone gathered in the kitchen and saw 8 plates of steak, mashed potatoes, and.... broccoli. "Cory, take these to the cops" he said, handing me four of the plates. I had one on my hand, one in each hand, and one plate in my mouth. I walked downstairs to where we put the cells and saw they were all awake... and talking. Like always no one notices me unless I make myself known. "Last thing I remember was running to save you guys but I saw you all knocked out before everything went black for me." "I-I think I heard them talking but I couldn't make out anything they said, I don't know if it was even them because we've never heard them talk before..." "w-we landed in a weird position so I scrambled off of GrabCat but he knocked me out the second I went to run" oh hey, I remember that, yeah that was definitely awkward.

(I had my second mask on, which was basically the same as my other but only covers half of my face so it was safe for them to look at me, forgot to say that) "Guys-" "that sounds awful!" "Guys-" "I know it was really awkward! I didn't like it..." "um... guys-" "well what about you, Ro-" "GUYS!" "What's wrong, Ross?" He points at me and when the others look they grow wide-eyed. I chuckle a bit and almost drop a plate. I walk up to each of the four cells and put a plate in each.

"Boomer cooked it, but I promise there's no explosives in it. We have our own plates." I tell them after they eye the food cautiously for a little bit. "Hey" I look at the detective who had been talking first when I walked in. "What?" "I have a question." I sigh and walk over to his cell. "What is it?" "Why'd you capture us? Why not kill us?" I blush a little, (thinking of you know who) and look away. "W-we don't always make the decision. You know there are 4 of us, correct?" He nods. "But you guys only ever see 3 of us" he nods again before saying "and he makes the decisions, Sky's your leader"

"well, we don't really have a leader. We're partners, we decide together and survive together. Boomer had the idea of robbing the bank and I had the idea of holding hostages. Both were so we could have enough money to eat that night. FlameFox had the idea of attacking you guys so you'd be unable to stop us for a while when we did more bad guy things. Sky had the idea of keeping you guys alive though the reason I am not aloud to tell" I look back at him, he seemed to be thinking hard. "You work together like a family, you guys are brothers. I know this has nothing to do with this and you probably won't answer but... who is oldest? And what are your real names?"

I hesitate to answer and then I step back into the corner of the room with the cells and quietly ask if I can tell them that type of thing. "I don't see any harm in telling them our ages, just don't tell them our names." Adam responds, very loudly. I walk back and answer his question. "I'm 22, Boomer is 21, FlameFox is also 22, And Sky is 23. My birthday is next, any other questions? I wanna go eat before my food gets cold" he nods and motions for me to come closer. I roll my eyes and walk closer.

Before I can say anything he slaps me and my mask comes off my face. I stare stunned before covering my ugly face with my hands. I had one blue eye I can barely see out of while my other blind eye was grey. I had permanent scars all over my face and my nose was beaten in so it was hard for me to breathe. I peek at them through my fingers to see them all starting at me. I grab my mask and put it back on.

I stood up and walked over to that mean guy's cell. I walked in and walked towards him, he slowly backs up. I smile at his fear and keep walking. Once he is backed in a corner he starts apologizing. "I-I'm sorry I j-just-" "shut it. I don't need apologies. Why did you do that?" He doesn't answer, I punch him it the rib cage. "Answer me!" I hear stomping coming from upstairs. He still doesn't answer so I grab him by the collar of his shirt and lift him up, he whimpers like a scared puppy. "Cory, let him go!" "No! He freaking took my mask off! They freaking saw my ugly trash face!" I start shaking violently trying not to cry.

I drop him and run, or try to run but Adam and Max grab me. "Let me go!" "No!" They said in unison. Barney comes downstairs with my medicine, freak! I thought I hid it well enough that I didn't have to take it! "Cory, why didn't you take your medicine?" "Its freaking killing me! I can't do this! Just kill me..." I say, I gave up trying to escape as the tears start falling like a waterfall and I fall to my knees. Max and Adam drop me.

Barney hands me the pill bottle, I take the pills and start feeling sleepy. Adam rubs circles in my back as Barney carries me upstairs. "Forget this ever happened" Max orders them, I see them flinch even though they can't see his scary face through his mask. I smile, I'm with my brothers now. No one can hurt me. I then fell asleep.
