Dom was half paying attention to all the sparring but sat up as Trinity was called to the mat. Why did he want to spar with Trinity? He told himself that the representative just wanted to spar with all of them, get a sense of the new heroes and their abilities. But all of a sudden he took out the agents with one gadget and threw Goliath across the room without even touching him. ”How'd you hide yourself from negation?” Dom barked out, looking over to Sapphire for a plan. She looked totally stunned by the situation, a frantic look in her eyes as their eyes met. She bolted for the door, planning to alert the guards and grab some more of her gadgets from her room. Dom knew she had to have some sort of plan, so he put himself between the representative and the door, leaving Trinity the closest to the representative. He trusted that she could hold her own, but it still made him worry that the representative started this as soon as Trinity was on the mat saying he had questions for her.

The Representative waved another hand towards Sapphire pulling her away from the door she was running towards. He tossed her into Josiah who was pulling himself off the ground. He managed to catch her but they rolled back onto the ground. ”It’s easy when your ability isn’t flashy.” He explained simply. Rogue ran up to him, ready to back kick but the Representative dodged her kick and laid off a kick of his own in Trinity’s chest. Not expecting the impact, she rolled back off the mat. ”I really just need someone’s attention. Now Miss Rogue. Can you summon The President for me.” Trinity pushed herself off the ground. The President? She has never heard of that name in her life. ”I don’t know who that is. Why are you doing this?” The smile disappeared from Representative Patel’s face. ”Don’t play dumb, Trinity.” He flicked his wrist and she was sent flying, hitting the back wall hard.

Sapphire felt an invisible pull and she was thrown into Josiah, who thankfully caught her. ”Dammit. Jos, I need you and Dom to distract him so I can get out and alert the guards,” Sapphire whispers, pulling out the rest of her smoke bombs and throwing them at the representative. Dom wasn’t paying attention to anyone but Trinity, cringing as the representative kicked her in the chest. Who was this president he was asking for? It wasn’t the name of any villain Dom was aware of. But his thoughts were interrupted as Trinity flew back against the wall. ”Rogue!” Dom cries out, rushing to her side and guarding her with his own body. ”Are you okay, Trin?” Dom whispers over his shoulder, his eyes turning back to the representative and looking for those bright red spots of weakness using his ability. They were much smaller on him, and Dom would need to get closer to pinpoint the exact spot. ”We’re not going to help you, even if we knew who that was!” Dom yells.

Trinity dropped to the ground after hitting the wall. She wasn’t expecting to be tossed like that. Her head was spinning as she was trying to process the situation. She nodded at Dom’s question, but she wasn’t sure if that was true. ”I’m not expecting you to help me Prodigy. My questions were directed at Trinity.” Representative Patel emphasized. Just then Josiah ran full speed and body checked the Representative sending him flying to hit the wall away from them all. ”She isn’t gonna help you do anything either.” Josiah’s muscles ached too much to completely transform but he was going to borrow the power as much as he could.

Sapphire kept her eyes on her team. She only had so many gadgets with her when she trained so she needed to get out of the room. She carefully backed up, waiting for just the right moment. As soon as Josiah's body slammed into the representative, she bolted out the door to find the security guards and get more weaponry from her room. Dom was still in front of Trinity, he couldn’t keep the grin off of his face as the representative hit the wall. ”If we can find a way to restrain him, I think Sapphire went to alert security,” Dom says as he looks to the training mat. Sapphire’s gadget was still laying on the mat and he jogged over to the mat to grab it. He wasn’t sure how exactly it worked but it was a viable option.

Trinity stood up off the ground and noticed Sapphire slipped outside the training room. Hopefully help comes soon. Representative Patel pushed himself off the floor and looked at the group. ”Damn.” One of them is missing. He sent a bunch of mats and chairs to the door to keep whoever it was from coming back in. Josiah wasn’t even sure how to restrain this man. Josiah took off running towards and started his hand-to-hand combat. Shockingly enough the Representative was faster and packed more of a punch than Josiah was expecting. All of the hits weren’t landing, but the ones that did, stung. Trinity grabbed the handcuffs off her utility belt. She has started keeping them there for the missions. ”Restrain him and I can handcuff him. I think these ones negate powers temporarily.” She couldn’t remember at this time, her head still hurt.

Dom looked to the door, now blocked from letting Sapphire get back in with help. The only thing he could do now was try to help Josiah restrain the man. It looked as if Representative Patel had to use his hands, so the quicker they could get him in Trinity’s handcuffs the better. Dom charged over to where Josiah and the representative were sparring, trying to position himself behind him to catch the man off guard. He was quick with his movements, managing to throw Josiah off guard, so he had to be careful. As soon as he thought he found an opening, he rushed forward as silently as he could, aiming to wrap his arm around the representative’s neck to get him into a chokehold.

Representative Patel was getting annoyed with this. He just needed some information and attention from the President. He managed to kick Josiah away from him but Dom had him in a chokehold. Throwing his hands up in the air, he used his powers to remove Prodigy and tossed him into Goliath. Representative Patel made his way towards Rogue, handout and pulling the handcuffs away from her. ”I’m not gonna ask nicely again. Either tell me where the President is or this is going to get worse for you.” Rogue pulled her staff back out and ran towards him, engaging in combat. They needed to subdue him.

Dom grunted as his body collided with Josiah, falling to the floor. He couldn’t understand why the representative thought Trinity knew this President or how to summon him. What he did know was that things would only get worse with Trinity as his target. ”She just threw this thing at you, right?” Dom asked Josiah as he pulled the little gadget Sapphire used against Josiah from his pocket. He didn’t know if she activated it somehow or it just did everything on its own, but he hurled it towards where the representative and Trinity were fighting hoping to restrain the representative.

Josiah tried to catch Dom the same way he caught Sapphire but it didn’t work. They crashed to the ground but managed to recover. ”Yeah. It works 50 percent of the time.” Trinity was managing to hold her own, aiming for the Representative’s hands. If he can’t use them then he can just toss her aside. Representative Patel noticed the gadget in the ground and acted quickly. He kicked it towards Trinity and moved out of range. The gadget released and wrapped itself around Trinity. Electricity ran through the chords. Rogue let out a scream and dropped to the ground. Representative Patel walked up to her and pulled the loaded gun from her holster. ”Where is The President?” He asked. Rogue was barely conscious and the world around her was spinning. ”I-i don’t…” She couldn’t finish the sentence. The Representative sighed and shot Rogue in the arm forcing another scream to come from her.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. The gadget was directed right at the representative and started to uncoil, but he kicked it away and it wrapped around Trinity instead. Dom’s eyes widened and he started running towards her, the world going quiet around him as she dropped to the floor. All he could focus on was her screams. They were so loud. It felt like he was trying to run through water, he couldn’t get there fast enough to stop the bullet that buried into her shoulder. ”Rogue!” Dom cried out, reaching out to try and pull her away and into his arms. He could hear banging behind him, which he assumed was Sapphire trying to get in. He just hoped she could find a way in with help, they needed it desperately. There was more to this representative than he led on if he could keep their entire team at bay. ”Stop! She doesn’t know anything!” Dom’s voice was full of desperation, trying to protect his girlfriend from harm.

Representative Patel rolled his eyes. ”She is lying.” With a flick of his wrist, he sent Dom flying away from them. He sent another bullet into Rogue’s other shoulder. Josiah was almost at a loss of what to do. He ran to the door and started pulling stuff off of it. They needed help immediately. This was too much for just them to handle. The door was cleared and Sapphire was able to come in with help. Trinity could feel tears falling down her cheeks but she didn’t have the voice to cry. There was so much pain and she couldn’t even answer his questions anymore.

Sapphire ran in with a full set of gadgets on her belt, just in time to see Dom fly across the room and roll across the floor. The situation had gotten much worse in the short time it took to gather her equipment. She couldn’t find any guards nearby so she decided it would be better to come back. Seeing Trinity in that state caused tears to start falling down her face, and she immediately pulled a tranquilizer gun from her side and shot a few in the representative’s direction. ”Get away from her, you bastard!” Sapphire shrieked from the corner of the room, already grabbing onto her own pair of negating handcuffs. She knew the moment she ran in he would toss her aside, so she had to find a way to get close. The problem was, he was fully focused on Trinity and she didn’t know who the President was. [color=#4307E3][b]”How is she going to answer you if she’s dead, huh? Let her go and we’ll find this President,” Sapphire pleaded, slowly stepping closer.

Representative Patel turned to see their missing teammate had returned with more gadgets. He waved a hand moving the tranquilizer darts away from him. ”You don’t think I tried to find them before coming here. You can’t just find him. You summon him or he finds you. And I'm hoping he finds me.” He explained Josiah ran after the Representative, immediately tackling him and wrestling him for the gun. The gun slid away from the both of them but they continued to roll around, throwing punches at each other.

Dom couldn’t think, he’d been thrown around so much that it felt like he had a concussion. But as soon as he saw Josiah and the representative wrestling around, he scraped himself off of the ground and immediately went to Trinity, kneeling in front of her to guard her body as he tore at the bottom of his shirt. ”Trin, stay with me, okay? Please, Trinity,” Dom whispered, trying to tie up the bullet wounds to stop the bleeding. He undid Sapphire’s gadget, releasing Trinity and throwing it aside. ”I'm so sorry, I should have protected you,” Dom’s voice is wet with tears as he hugs her to him, trying to be gentle and continue to guard her. Sapphire grabbed the gun that slid away from Josiah and the representative, moving closer while the representative was distracted and aiming the gun at him.

Trinity could barely understand what was going on around her and what Dom was even saying to her. The pain had subsided but now she was getting sleepy from losing blood. ”I-its…it’s okay..” Trinity tried to hug him back but she felt so weak and in that moment she slipped out of consciousness. Josiah was beyond angry and this time managed to get in a couple of critical hits. Without realizing it, he had broken both of Representative’s Patel’s hands. ”I.T! I need rope!” He managed to pin the representative down but he wasn’t sure how long he would be able too.

”Trinity… Trin- no, come on stay with me, Trinity, please wake up,” Dom’s words were muddled by his tears, it felt like his whole world was crashing down watching her eyes flutter close. He tried to get her to wake up and nothing was working. Sapphire heard Dom’s frantic words and turned, seeing Trinity unconscious in his arms. ”Trinity-“ Sapphire immediately turned back and saw Josiah holding the representative down, his hands very obviously broken. She kneeled down and slapped the negation cuffs on just for safety, and with shaking hands, grabbed the rope from the other side of her belt and started to tie up the representative. ”I-I couldn’t find the guards, w-we need medical attention for Trin- oh god,” Sapphire started to hyperventilate, looking over to her teammate. They learned basic medical skills in case of an emergency but they needed a real doctor now.

Josiah tossed the Representative to the side, so that he was out of the way and he immediately went to where his teammates were. ”The agency nurse has an emergency number. Let's get her to infirmary and I will call her. Sapphire until the agents.” He trusted Dom would be able to carry her there. Josiah jogged ahead to make the call. He managed to get a hold of his phone and call. The nurse yelled about how this was for emergencies only, but Josiah quickly explained everything. She said she would be there as soon as she was able.

Sapphire let Josiah take the lead, moving over to the agents to release them from the representative’s bonds. She didn’t know what kind of sleeping gas he used so it was hard to tell when they would be waking up, but she could at least give them the freedom to move until they did. Dom scooped Trinity carefully up in his arms, trying to recompose himself until they could get her help. Josiah was calling the nurses and Sapphire was helping the agents, so he took great care to get Trinity over to the infirmary. ”Don’t give up on me, Trin. You’re gonna be okay,” Dom murmured as he set her down on one of the infirmary beds, brushing her hair back and kissing her forehead. He didn’t plan on moving from her side until she was awake.

Josiah was pacing around in the hallway, waiting for the nurse to show up. Sapphire was dealing with the agents, so he didn’t feel the need to go back to the training room. He was beyond worried about Trinity but nowhere near what Dom was going through right now. The nurse finally came running in and ran past Josiah and moved to Trinity’s side. ”Dominic. I need space to work. Help Josiah bring the agents to the infirmary as well.” She doesnt know exactly what happened, but based on Josiah’s rundown, she wants to see them as well. The nurse immediately got to work, starting an IV and closing up wounds. She was trying to move fast to replace lost blood but not too fast to make everything worse.

He couldn’t believe his eyes. This needed to be reported to the The President immediately. He was tasked with keeping eyes on Team Alpha and reporting anything significant. Usually nothing happens but this was horrid. He ran towards the conference room, short of breath upon entry.

”What is it, Tommy? You are interrupting my meeting.”

Tommy took a few deep breaths. ”It’s…Rogue. Her and the rest of Team Alpha…attacked…she is in the infirmary…she is unconscious…”. He managed to say in between breaths.

The President had a look of shock that quickly formed into anger. ”I’ve been patient long enough! We fetch her. Now!” He stood up and stormed out of the conference room.

Sapphire was kneeling in front of Gupta, gently patting her face trying to get her to wake up. It would be much easier to get them to the infirmary while conscious, but none of them were responding to her methods. She’d never thought she’d need to wake someone up from unconsciousness, so she didn’t have any fancy gadgets. She doubted she could carry any of them but Gupta ”C’mon Agent Gupta, please wake up.” Dominic had no plans of leaving the infirmary. He stood as close as he was allowed, tears still falling down his face. Surely Josiah and Sapphire could get the agents, he didn’t want to leave Trinity alone. ”I’m not leaving her,” Dom mumbled through his tears, his eyes blazing with all his pain and guilt just daring the nurse to kick him out again. He wouldn’t leave her, not without a fight.

Josiah knew Dom wasn’t going to be able to leave Trinity. He also didn’t help try and get Dominic out of the infirmary. Sapphire and Josiah could handle it. Josiah ran back to the training room and saw Sapphire trying to wake them up. ”The nurse wants them in the infirmary.” He didn’t think that Sapphire would be able to carry any of them. Josiah scooped up Agent Angel and started making his way back to the infirmary.

The President and Frigid found their way outside of the agency building. In no time, they were able to break down the front doors. From all of his spying and investigations, he was very familiar with the layout. The President made his way to the infirmary and almost felt his heart shatter at the sight. ”What…what have you done?” The President took a few more steps into the infirmary, Frigid manning the door. ”Nurse, step away from her. I’m going to get her proper help.” He demanded.

Sapphire managed to get Agent Gupta onto her back, though it was a struggle to get her to the infirmary. She was just glad that the infirmary wasn’t far so that she wouldn’t drop the agent. She was struggling so much that she barely noticed the unfamiliar voice until she saw Frigid at the door. Her entire body went cold, recognizing the villain that took Representative Lamb and helped Virus hold her hostage. She would have dropped Agent Gupta just out of shock but she managed to gingerly set the agent down against the wall. ”This can’t be happening,”[color] Sapphire whispered, reaching for a fire baton at her side. She’d restructured a regular electricuting baton to make flames instead after coming in contact with Frigid so much; it was a creation inspired by the terror she felt even thinking about the ice villain.

Dominic immediately went to Trinity’s side, he wasn’t going to let anyone take her or hurt her. He’d already failed once, he wasn’t going to fail again. [color=#E30707]”You’re not taking her,” Dom snarled, putting himself between Trinity and the unknown man.

Josiah was stuck outside the infirmary with Sapphire. Frigid? This had to be one of Team Alpha’s worst days. He gently set Agent Angel down. How were they supposed to get around her? Then he heard more voices. ”She isn’t alone..” Josiah whispered back to Sapphire. They needed a plan, quickly. The President looked into the eyes of the boy that believed he could keep him from claiming his daughter. ”I was not asking. Step aside. NOW!” He walked closer to the boy, keeping an eye on where the nurse was. ”She was supposed to be safe here within these walls and now look! If you all can’t protect her, then I will.” The President wasn’t planning on killing anyone, but he will.

Sapphire grabbed onto Josiah’s wrist with her free hand, trying to stop herself from shaking. She’d been doing so much better, but the moment she saw Frigid, her entire body was shaken by fear. She had to relax, this would only get worse if she panicked. ”We need to lure her out so we can take her down,” Sapphire whispers back, turning on the baton and a tiny flicker of flame ignited from the top. She twisted the bottom of the baton to make the flame brighter and rushed forward to attack. Dominic didn’t move from his spot, glaring at the man that was trying to take Trinity. ”I won’t let you take her!” Dom snapped back, closing the distance between him and this man and putting all his energy into a hard kick to the chest.

Frigid let a wicked smile come to her face when she came face to face with a trainee. Quickly she turned around and back kicked Sapphire in the chest. She also made a point to free Josiah where he stood. She was gonna take her time fighting them. The President was losing his patience and pulled out the gun that was in his pocket, aiming it towards the nurse. ”Now I’m aware of your ability for combat so I won’t even waste my time. I will just start killing everyone and walk out with her.” He continued to take steps towards Dominic, not wavering and making direct eye contact. ”I’m going to count to three and I better not make it to three…One.”

Sapphire didn’t get to attack, Frigid’s kick was hard and knocked her to the ground. She gritted her teeth, tightening her hand around the fire baton before launching back at Frigid and swiped the fire along her back. She would do anything to make sure Frigid didn’t leave this facility, fighting back with desperation. Inside the infirmary, Dominic thought he would have the upper hand making it physical. But the moment he say the gun aimed at the nurse, he was frozen. He actually flinched as the man stepped forward, his eyes glaring right at Dominic. He couldn’t let the nurse die, but he couldn’t let someone working with Frigid take Trinity. Dominic wasn’t given any time to make a decision. He couldn’t make the words come out, he just looked down and stepped out of the way so the man could take Trinity. He knew Trinity would never forgive him if he let the nurse get shot, so he had to trust that the team would find her again. And alive.

”Good choice.” The President stated, slightly relieved, that he didn’t have to get blood on his hands. He moved to Trinity’s side, sad that he hadn’t collected her sooner. The President holstered his gun and lifted Trinity up into his arms. ”Don’t follow us. Frigid. Stop playing with them. Find the intruder and meet me back in the car.” He walked past her and the trainees she was fighting, heading back towards the exit. Frigid groaned annoyingly. She didn’t get much time to play. That one trainee was playing with fire, literally, and she wanted to see how long that would last. But it was time to go. She froze Sapphire’s hand and then her feet. ”I’m sure we will play again.” Frigid added with a wink. Frigid headed to the training room to collect the handcuffed Representative. The villains had their objectives in hand and disappeared without a trace.
