The room started to fill with some sort of gas. It made her weak, but not tired. She found she couldn't move her arms.
The man, the one who she tried to make a deal with, came back into the room... with a syringe.
"Oh, great. So now you're going to drug me?" Charlie asked.
"No. No drugs. This is a truth serum." he replied.
"Ha! You guys are so original. Teenagers with powers and the bad guys show up. Classic." She said sarcastically. But she became more serious when he injected it into her arm. "That hurt," she mumbled.
"Good. That means it's already working." He sat across from her again, staring at her.
"You've got nice eyes," she said dreamily.
He raised his eyebrows. "Do I now?" He asked.
This guy was such an idiot. She was just playing him. The shot didn't really hurt, and his eyes were as nice looking as a pigs.
"Yeah," she said. "You single?"
He frowned. "Uh... not at the moment, but I could make an opening."
"Sounds good," she said, nodding up and down. She figured people who were injected with truth serum mostly acted like drunks. She could play drunk.
"So, Charlie, who are your class mates?" he asked, knowing---thinking--- it was going to be this easy to break her.
"Well... there's Annie, Rain, J.J., Alex, Roxy... I think there's a kid named Jared. Then there's Anna, Drew, Shane..." She looked up at him. "I don't know many kids there. Just, like, an third." she said.
"That's okay. What about Annie, what does she have?" he asked.
"Anger management issues." she said, and laughed at her joke.
"No. What gift?"
"The gift of insanity," she said.
