Chapter 4, Friendship?

Nick's POV

       After they left I was so confused. "Um... what happened?" Jin answered, "those pills were antidepressants, it seems GrabCat, who we now know as Cory, have depression and didn't take his pills. He also doesn't like people looking at his face, probably because of the scars. Hmmm..." Cory, his name is Cory, pretty boy's name is Cory. Good to know. "Jin, what are thinking about?" Red asked. "I remember getting a hold of a file for Cory Filmstar. He was one of the kids who went missing after his parents were killed. His parents abused him and ended up disowning him not long before his parents died and he disappeared. Except both eyes were blue, that's the only difference. This Cory has one blue and one grey eye." "Um... actually it looked as if he couldn't see out of the grey eye and he was constantly squinting as if he had trouble looking at us. Maybe the grey eye was blue but changed when it became blind, probably because of the abuse" I decided to speak up. everyone nodded and agreed.

~Time Skip to next day~

       We had all finished our food so we didn't know what to do. We were trying to fall asleep but I couldn't stop thinking. I'm in love with a villain, but he is 1. A boy 2. Depressed 3. A jerk and 4. Scarred. What am I going to do? He'll never like me back... My thoughts were interrupted by screaming from upstairs.

       We saw FlameFox run down chasing a screaming Sky who was also laughing. FlameFox caught up to him and pushed him to the ground before standing on him. "I'm sorry!" Sky said, still laughing. "What did I tell you? I said 'never do that again or you'd get it! And what did you do?" "Im Sorry! Get off of me!" FlameFox got off and kicked Sky, then left. Sky got up and stared at FlameFox while he left then broke out laughing.

       He calmed down and dug through his bag. He grabbed 4 apples and threw one to each of us and left. After a while Cory came down, with his mask on of course. "S-sorry about yesterday. I don't like people looking at my face. A-Sky has created a thing where you can walk around this place but can't leave, if you'd like it." We all nodded and walked to the bars of the cell.

       He had 4 black brackets with different colored gems. One by one Cory unlocked our cells and put a bracelet on our wrists. I got a brown gem, Jin got a purple gem, Ross got a blue gem, and Red got an orange gem. And we can't get it off. trust me, I tried. It's like a shock collar except without the shock, We can't leave a certain area. This sucks. They won't even tell us their real names so we didn't tell them ours. I wish we can just leave...

Adam's POV

       "So, let's get this straight, Cory like likes Brown hair, I like like the smart jerk, Barney like likes the kid-like guy, and Max like likes the quiet one and, judging by them blushing, they like like us back?" I whisper to the group. We all had our masks on still and were whispering because the other 4 were watching us. "I was thinking maybe, if we befriend them at least, they could help us get out of this hell hole we dug for ourselves." Cory whispers back. "Well, how do we get them to trust us? The quiet guy is scared of me and doesn't like Adam, the jerk is scared of Adam and doesn't like Cory, the kid like guy is scared of Barney and doesn't like me, and the brown hair guy is scared of all of us and hates all of us except Cory. I don't think it'll work" Max points out. "That's easy, exchange names, be nicer, get to know them, let our relationships grow from there." Barney says. "I hate you" "I know, Max" "let's vote, I say we do it" I tell them before they start a fight. "I vote we do it" Cory says. "Me too" Barney says. "I don't think it'll work but let's do it" Max says. "Yes!" Cory says, obviously forgetting we're supposed to whisper. "Oh, uh, oops?" Cory says, we start laughing at his silliness.

       "Alrighty, let's do it!" I say, no longer whispering. They all nod, smiling and excited. We all walk towards the other group. "we have decided to do a name exchange with you, we tell you our names and our part of the team, like what we do to contribute, and you do the same. Deal?" Max says, we are still wearing our masks so t think that's the reason they all looked cautious. They all agree to it and we start the introductions.

"You know me as Sky but my real name's Adam. I'm a hacker and I usually plan out what we do during the missions and keep track of our money. The others have earbuds I modified myself to let me talk to them and hear what they hear so I can guide them through the mission." I tell them. I take my mask off to reveal my yellow eyes and brown hair, there's nothing special about me.

"I'm Jin, head detective of the police force. I think I've figured out GrabCat's identity but I'm still confused on one little thing, though I guess you'll tell us that on your turn." The jerk said.

"You know me as FlameFox but my real name is Max, don't make me angry or you'll regret it. I'm a martial artist so don't challenge me to a duel unless you want to lose. I'm usually the guy who goes and beats everyone up so we don't have any problems during the mission. As for our little family, We all cook but I cook more often than the others. Once again, don't make me angry!" Max says, taking his mask off to reveal red hair and brown eyes. He has a scar just under his eye but he can see perfectly fine.

"I'm Ross, I'm an undercover cop. Well, was an undercover cop. I'm the one who would secretly follow the suspects and see if they do anything suspicious. I'm part squirrel though I don't let the ears and tail show and uh, I'm probably the youngest person in this place." The quiet guy said.

"I'm Boomer but my name's Barney. I like loud noises which is why I use explosives and I'm experienced so if I wanted to I could set off a bomb and make it so it won't explode anything. I usually talk using an accent but this is my actual voice. I cook most of the time when Max doesn't want to and I usually help with getting into secret or Locked rooms. As for helping around the house, I'm the one who cleans the place and treats our wounds. My feelings don't get hurt easily and I can catch any rock you throw at me" Barney tells them. He takes his mask off to reveal dark green hair and an eyepatch over one eye. his other eye is purple and a small drop of blood is coming out from under the eyepatch. He's missing some teeth but he smiles anyways, not a single bit of selfconciousness in him.

"I'm Red, I'm the same as Ross but I check hidden cameras and security cameras. I don't really like loud noises but fireworks are kind of pretty. That's really all there is to me, I don't know what else to say, sorry!" The kid-like guy said.

"I'm GrabCat, but you now know me as Cory. The scars on my face were because of my awful parents. My nose is beaten in so I have trouble breathing out of it and I'm blind in one eye, also because of my parents. I have trouble seeing out of my other eye but i can see so I'm not blind. Don't underestimate me, I can beat you up in a second. I help cleaning and repairing electronics around the house but when on a mission I pickpocket keys and valuable stuff from people." Cory says, he takes off his mask to reveal his scars, eyes, small broken nose, and dirty blonde hair.

"I'm Nick. When I was little I was sent to a school for ninjas and I passed easily. I'm very agile and I have good fighting skills, not the best but it's better than nothing. I'm a ninja that works for the police basically. I also have a strict diet of chicken, milk, and pizza because I don't like anything else." The brown hair guy said. "Now that we know each other, what do we do now?" "Uh, watch a movie? Truth or dare? Video games?" I suggest "Truth or dare!" Everyone else says in unison. "Alright, 3 rules! 1. You cannot pick the same thing twice in a row 2. No kissing or telling about crushes 3. Only one question for truth and we have to do what we're dared to do, no buts about it. Got it?" They all nod. "Then let's start!"
