Samuel Cali's Story

It was quiet in the facility…too quiet. Jae leaned against the bars of his cell, watching their fearless leader carry out the plan. He was given the job of maintaining everyone together, which was easy enough for him. Not to mention he helped to devise the plan, but now it was out of his hands, that is until they came to free him. He could do many things but free himself from chains and handcuffs was not one of them. He closed his eyes for a second, scanning as far as he could for brain activity and his face twisted into a repulsed expression. "Gross" he muttered to himself, blinking his eyes a few times. He then relaxed and closed them again, limiting his range only to the five of them. "Good news, most of the guards are sleeping. I unfortunately tapped into one of their dreams and I can safely say I'm scarred for life" Jae thought, feeling his thoughts into the other's heads. "On that note, be careful what you think, all lines are open" he explained, keeping the brain waves strong enough for everyone to be able to communicate with one another. Though it was draining and would probably end up giving him an immense headache, he thought his friends could use some encouragement. "Hey Sam, are you doing okay over there?".




Alexina wasn't the type to give up an opportunity to break rules, but for some reason right now she was exhausted and all she wanted to do was sit in her sell and sleep. Possibly forever. She had recently been thinking a lot about home and her sick mother and that never failed to bring her mood down. She watched as the others began to carry out their escape plan and sighed, letting her shoulders relax. Not two seconds later, however, her head was invaded with thoughts. Not her own, but everyone else's. "Can you give a fair warning next time to plan on invading our heads, Korea?" she thought and groaned out loud, only to earn a chuckle from the other. She rolled her eyes and waited for her shackles to be broken. Her eyes wandered around the room from one of them to the other, finally landing on Tatyana. She seemed as unamused as Alex felt right now. "How many guards are there exactly?". She thought it necessary to ask.

Somehow they had miraculously made it out of the building in one piece, almost. There was so much going on all at once that Jae completely missed Elani's thoughts and frustration when she was shot and stuck inside. Once they were out, England immediately noticed and Jae felt his stomach sink. He had to go help her. She was the first person he came to in the facility, and it was thanks to her that he didn't lose his mind and was able to remain himself. "I have to go, she needs help!" Jae rushed back towards the entrance, breaking the connection he had still been holding with everyone to have more strength. Unfortunately he got the opposite affect. A strong jolt of pain pierced through his head, causing him to cry out in pain. He had been through these headaches before, but never so severe. It felt like needles were being shoved into his head from all sides. He should have known he'd have to suffer the consequences. He stumbled, holding his head, and barely managed not to fall as he lean against the nearest tree. The pain was so strong that tears were swelling up in his eyes. It would pass eventually, but for now he was useless and his best friend was still inside, injured and trapped.

Alex watched in a bit of shock as Jae dealt with the side effects of overusing his head. England had to stay outside to keep everyone safe and together, Ukraine didn't seem too concerned or intent of going back in and no one was going to let Sam back in there. It was up to her. "Keep moving, we'll catch up!" is all she said before grabbing England's bat and running back inside. They had capture Africa and it looked like she was being dragged back to her cell. Without hesitation, Alex used her abilities to confuse the guards before running up behind them and swinging the bat at full force. They were going to get out of here one way or the other. Once all the guards were down, she helped Africa on to her feet and rushed towards the exit. The alarm had gone off, which meant that the escape hadn't gone as smoothly as they hoped and the guards would attempt to come after them, but Alex managed to make it back out with Africa. Once outside she help the other and they caught up to the group. Alex was completely out of breathe, but at least they were out.

Everything happened so quickly, Jae hardly had any time to process it. There's nothing he wanted more than to rush in there and pull his best friend out safe and sound but he was immobile. Thank god for Scotland. She didn't think twice before barging in there with a bat. Sam had come to his rescues when Jae cried out in pain and gave him a hugged. Jae smiled and gently hugged him back. "I'm alright Sammy, thanks" he attempted to walk to prove his point but stumbled a bit. That's when England came in and swept him off his feet. Literally. Jae's cheeks involuntarily tinted a light shade of pink. For the sake of putting a safe distance between them and the facility he kept quiet. Not too long after Elani and Scotland made it our safely. More or less. He wanted to ask if Elani was alright but Sam beat him to the punch. Such a sweet kid. After a few minutes of silence Jae couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed about the fact he was being carried, so he dealt with it the way he always dealt with embarrassment. He rested his palms on to of England's head and rested his chin on his hands. "So if I keep getting hurt will u get piggy back rides more often?".
He was only joking of course, he didn't expect England to carry him around all the time

Alex rolled her eyes at Korea's comment. He would be the one to joke during an escape mission. Regardless, it was kind of needed. Everyone was tense, and South Africa was jurt, not too horribly but still hurt. They would all use a little laugh. They continued walking and Africa thanked Alex for the rescue. Alex simply replied with a nod. She wasn't the type to get emotional. Hopefully they could find a place to rest soon. Korea was all out of juice and Africa was injured. Sam probably needed a lot of rest as well. Even England and Ukraine looked exhausted and she wasn't too full of energy either. As they walked further and further away from the facility, Alex began to feel like she could finally breathe. She let out a long breath that she hadn't even realized she was keeping in. "You know you can put me down if I'm too heavy for you" Korea teased, patting England on the shoulder and Alex shook her head. As if.

Jae rolled his eyes at England's response. He always did take everything too literally. Jae almost did want to be put down, not because he minded being carried, even though it was a bit embarrassing, but he didn't want to inconvenience him. But knowing England, it wouldn't make a difference whether he told him he wanted to walk or not, he wouldn't put him down until they could rest. It was a little odd being carried by him though. "Well I might as well enjoy the ride" he smiled, resting his chin on England's head once again. Not too long after, he heard Elani and Sam talking about how she hurt her wing and he looked at her, his face showing concern along with the light pink tint in his cheeks. She said she was alright, but her head said otherwise. She was in pain, and once they could stop somewhere, Jae planned on using whatever energy he had left to help her. Since he didn't have much energy left, he knew she'd protest, as well as England and possibly Sam too. He'd have to come up with a good speech to convince them to let him help. He turned his attention back on the path ahead, keeping his head rested on his helper's head, but maintained the mind link with his best friend. "This is extremely embarrassing.…but he's much more comfortable than he looks". He probably shouldn't be using his strength for something so trivial, but it didn't require much effort to connect with one person who was only a couple of feet away, and he needed to say something or he'd explode.

Alex watched as the others carried on with their conversations. Sam concerned about Africa as always and England refusing to put Korea down even though the latter could probably walk on his own now. She remained quiet, towards the back, following the group. Ukraine was even further behind her. Alex couldn't tell what she was thinking, but then again, when could she. She looked detached from the rest of the group. Sometimes Alex wished she had Jae's ability to just tap into people's heads and know what they were thinking instead of having to guess. She had never been the social type of person, nor did she know how to show that she cared for others, but deep down she really did. She never knew how to express it in words, but it would often show in her actions and that was enough for her. Alex slowed her pace down to match Ukraine, but kept her gaze straight ahead as she spoke. "Tired already?" she teased. To tell the truth, she was fairly tired herself, but she'd be willing to give Ukraine a piggy back ride if she needed it.
