Frankie, Lilith, Wren, Ulrich, Alec, a new dude, and herself. Hydra certainly knew exactly what they were doing; taking some of Academy's most powerful captive.
"I saw you kicking ass back there," Wren spoke first, directing her words towards Lilith. The redhead looked terrible, like she was throttled a thousand times and thrown to the pits of Hell each time. Despite that, Caitria didn't worry too much about her friend, as horrible as it sounded; Wren would definitely heal. Perhaps that's why she managed to be captured - Wren seemed so invincible that no one ever tried to save her, thinking that she would never need it. Caitria knew that why no one attempted to go after herself was because of the same reason; after all, if Caitria was as fast as her reputation claimed, it seemed that she would be able to escape anything. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
"You okay?" Ulrich's words interrupted Caitria's stream of thought. "How'd they manage to catch the second speediest person?" Caitria cracked a small smile at the teasing in his tone, but she could tell that Ulrich was genuinely concerned.
"It was a preschool trick," Caitria responded wearily. "The simplest thing ever; a device that's attracted to an excess of kinetic energy. It's like a magnet, sticking to whatever's exuding the most kinetic energy within a certain area and using that very kinetic energy to power itself. The cycle repeats." Caitria sighed. "It's really stupid, 'cause this isn't anything new - my dad encountered similar things multiple times, and he never ended up in a situation like... this." Caitria's own words emphasized the group's somber surroundings.

Andrew felt stuck in a perpetual state of sleep paralysis. He felt awake - he knew he was on a makeshift hospital bed, and that there was an IV attached to his arm. However, as much as he tried, he couldn't open his eyes, nor move his limbs. He couldn't control his breathing either; his breaths were typical of any sleeping person, and that felt suffocating to Andrew.
The brunette man tried to calm his mind as he attempted to regain command over his body. Finally, he grasped onto a bit of control, being able to take deeper breaths and move his left leg slightly. However, the sensation slipped from Andrew's grasp just as quickly as it came.
Andrew struggled to keep in touch of his senses; finally, complete and utter control washed over his as he shot up from the hospital bed, head spinning and gasping slightly. He turned his head, almost jumping back when he caught sight of Riley at the edge of his bed.
Andrew scanned the room and the aftermath of the chaos that took place. After a few moments, he turned his head to face Riley. "What the hell happened?"

Thaleia's eyes shot open abruptly. She took a few moments to recover before narrowing her eyes, scanning the room - it wasn't pretty. She glanced at the IV in her right arm, before moving her gaze to her vitals on the nearby screen. Normal, for the most part. Thaleia nonchalantly ripped the IV out of her arm, slipping out of the makeshift hospital bed. She glanced at the others; compared to practically everyone else, Thaleia was in excellent shape. It was the damn speedster. Although she'd never admit it, Thaleia was in debt.
Speaking of the speedster, Thaleia couldn't see her anywhere in the room. She caught sight of a nurse and walked briskly towards her. "Hey."
The nurse turned around, a look of shock on her face. "Ms. Castle, what are you doing up and about? You're supposed to be resting!" Thaleia shrugged off the nurse's remarks before gripping her shoulders harshly. A look of fear flashed in the nurse's eyes for a split second.
"Where's Caitria Allen?" Thaleia demanded cooly. A look of recognition washed over the nurse's face, before an expression of pity replaced it. Thaleia narrowed her eyes, barking out, "What?"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Castle," the nurse said gently, "but Caitria Allen was one of the few taken captive by the enemy forces, along with Wren Wilson, Lilith Isley, Alec Constantine, Ulrich Zod, Francis Parker, and Cassius Thompson."
Thaleia narrowed her eyes. "Flash Junior could win a prize for being the best at running away," she stated coldly, "and Deadpool's basically a murder machine. What the fuck happened to them? And who the hell is this Cassius Thompson?"
