"Can I just sleep?" Viv asked as Vanya and Allison pushed the teenager out of the kitchen/dining room.  

"Nope." Allison said, too cheerful for Viv's liking.

"Ughhhhhhhhhhh-" She groaned.

They walked out of the foyer and started up the steps.

Allison and Vanya knew there was an empty room perfect for Viv to stay in.

The brunette teenager thought long and hard about what happened in the wee hours of the morning. Well, not exactly the "wee hours", 7 AM is early enough, though.

Questions raced around Viv's head, but she didn't have time to ask Allison or Vanya any of them because they were immediately interrupted by Klaus Hargreeves.

"Jane!" He exclaimed hugging Viv once again.

"No seriously, why does he keep calling me Jane?" Viv asked Allison and Vanya who stood there laughing at their brother's antics.

"I don't even know, maybe someone from his cult?" Allison suggested to which Vanya nodded.

"'Cult'?" Viv asked.

"It wasn't a cult, Allison!" Klaus exclaimed, holding his arms out.

"Okay..." Viv replied as she duck under the drunk man's arms.

Vanya and Allison then led Viv up the steps to the second floor, taking her down to the end of the hall.

They stopped in the doorway of an empty room, nothing but a bed and a few small things were in there, ready for Viv to make it her own. The walls were plain, off-white paint that was started to come off at the corners and the floors needed sweeping.

"So, you just happen to have an empty room here?" Viv asked, exploring the room with Vanya following suit.

"It used to be Ben's." She said quietly.

Viv turned towards Vanya, acknowledging the fact that this was the first time Vanya had talked since leaving the kitchen.

"Who's Ben?" Viv asked.

"Our brother... he died when we were younger..." Allison said uncomfortably, still sensitive to the topic even after all these years.

The siblings had loved Ben. 

Witty, humorous, and sarcastic; Ben got along with everyone. Naturally, you would think Ben and Vanya weren't best buddies since the former usually ignored Vanya and pointed her "ordinariness", but the truth is that they were the closest and most like each other.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Viv sympathized. 

"It's fine." Allison said.

The three stood in silence, Allison remembering her memories with Ben and Vanya quietly mourning.

Luckily, someone interrupted the silence.

"You're AJ?" A man with semi-long hair and in all black asked.

"Diego, this is Viv. Viv, Diego." Allison replied.

"Who's Viv?" He asked.

Vanya internally facepalmed.

"Oh..." Diego said once he realized. "Then, welcome, Viv!"

AJ stumbled down the hallway, her eyes still glowing purple. 

"Wh-what's happening?" She asked herself, noticing the tips of her fingers were turning a shade of purple.

A security saw AJ and immediately told her to stop and raise her hands.

Bad idea.

As AJ lifted her hands, rays of purple energy shot out and specifically targeted the guard, sending him flying across the room. Her eyes widened out of fear and anxiety.

"What the hell--" AJ started before Carly ran behind her.

"AJ!" Carly exclaimed.

"Carly! Oh my god, I'm so glad to see you!" AJ said. 

Uncontrollably, more sparks came from AJ's hands which ran to Carly, sending her flying like the security gaurd.

"FUCK!" AJ yelled at herself.

Quickly, Carly managed to get up, her hip aching.

"AJ, you need to calm down." Carly said, wincing slightly with every step.

"B-but, I just hurt you!" AJ exclaimed, her fear taking over.

"Just breathe. Panicking will only make it worse. Your nerves can't handle it!" She explained.

"What if I don't calm down? What'll happen to me then?" AJ asked.

"I-I don't know." Carly frowned. "Just give me your hands."

AJ slowly walked over to Carly, holding her arm out in a way that if anything shot out, it wouldn't harm Carly anymore. Carly put a titanium type handcuffs on AJ's hands and took a step back whilst holding her arm out. 

Automatically, the purple color started draining from AJ's hands and made it's way towards Carly's outstretched arm where she was holding a small clear vial. Purple fog streamed into the little bottle.

"What's that?" AJ asked as Carly put the vial in her inner jacket pocket.

"Your powers." Carly said normally, getting the cuffs off of AJ's wrist with a swish of her finger.
