Tagruato was laughably amateur. If they'd wanted to transform everyone in the city into their living weapons, this was the course of action they should have taken a year ago. Locking them up in cells and injecting the venom directly into their bloodstream (there was no doubt in Nash's mind that that had happened) was the most efficient course of action.
Perhaps when he'd first arrived, he might have passively sat aside and allowed this. Not now, though. He wasn't going to let this happen. He stood and tried the door -- locked. He checked his pockets -- his knife was gone, but there were other ways to induce bleeding. His thumb drive containing the files from the Project Daisychain hard drive was still present, though. Hopefully it would be of some use.
He looked around to the others in the cell.

"Sherry?!" The little girl wasn't with her. Damn it. The slightly woozy feeling caught up with her as she swung her legs over the side of the cot she was on, and she pressed a hand to her forehead for a moment, before looking up and properly taking in who she was with. Two men and a kid. She sighed inwardly, before looking at the door.
"We're locked in?"

Negi blinked and turned to look at the other people in the room. All adults, none of whom he really recognized. He looked scared for a moment, but Negi knew now wasn't the time for fear. He had to find out where he was and where his friends and student was. He had to find them and protect them.
There was a soreness to his arm and joints, as though he'd been sparring his Master. Negi noticed the injection mark and frowned at it, what was that? What had they injected him with? It couldn't be good, that was for sure.
He realized the adults were talking and looked over to them now, "Locked? So...we were captured." Negi hopped up from his cot and stumbled slightly before getting his barings and walking over to the door. "What should we do?" He could probably blast it open, but that would be really loud.

"That doesn't necessarily mean we're trapped. What are you capable of?" he asked both of them, looking over at the other man as well.

This... wasn't his bed. He wasn't home. And he felt... sick.A few moments of trying to collect his thoughts and settle his stomach enough to focus, and the blonde's bright blue eyes carefully fluttered open to a dark, blurred room. Realizing for a moment that something was terribly wrong, his gaze turned to the other bodies sprawled out across the floor; the monster-truck man, another blonde, and a girl with green hair. None of which he was terribly familiar with, and difficult to think about with the painful throbbing in his arm. Much like... a needle. He'd been sedated. Or infected. Whichever was worse ( ... )

There was absolutely something wrong. He could feel the injection mark-- and hadn't felt this sick since the time he was bitten before. He'd been poisoned with the crab virus... it sent his entire already weakened system out of whack and now he felt like he could barely move.
And that was aside from the obvious worries plaguing his mind. Toph, Maya, Pearl, Harry... hell, even that bastard Wright. What the hell had happened to all of them? Were they in cells like this one? Were they infected too?
When the spiky-headed guy spoke up, Diego rolled over slightly and eyed him behind the visor. "Ha...! Trust me. You won't have to worry about me sleeping."

Michiru, she was thinking, where is Michiru? Haruka realized two things: one she was in a cell and two she was without her partner.
Dammit.
Haruka scanned the room: a man with a visor looking very weak on a cot, the blond who had whistled, and a small green haired girl still asleep.
The tall woman rose, rubbing at her sore arm. There was a wound there, she realized as her brain started to catch up. She had been injected with something...and it probably wasn't good. Haruka swallowed, trying to keep her act together. She was a sailor senshi after all, she could take care of herself, "What's going on?"

"Oh, the usual. Mysterious kidnappings and unethical experiments on unwilling captives," he said, casually as could be with a big smile on his lips.

"Nick, I want to go to the circus too," she muttered, then rolled over and opened her eyes. "Nngh... Pearl? Diego?" They widened very slowly when she realized that she was in an unfamiliar place, and she bolted up in bed.
"Holy moly!" Maya gasped, darting her head around the room. She glanced over at the boy who was already awake, then surveyed the two other people. Iris! And a blonde girl who Maya didn't know, but looked maybe a little bit younger than her.
"What's going on?" she asked the boy. "Where are we?"

Finally, the girl who had been muttering about circuses woke up. He gave her a tired smile, he didn't want to scare her (even if the situation was scary). "We're on a ship, in a cell. I'm pretty sure we were kidnapped by that group...and I think we might have been injected with something too," he held up his arm to show her the puncture wound. "There's markings on the wall telling us what ship we're on and probably the cell number."
He wondered if that was explanation enough. "I'm Bobby, by the way, this isn't exactly the best way to meet...but I figure if we're sharing a cell with one bathroom, you should at least know my name." The last part was his lame attempt at a joke.

"I'm Maya," she said, smiling despite her worries. "And that girl sleeping there is actually my cousin, Iris." It still felt weird calling her that. But Maya was relieved that at least she knew where she was now. Having somebody familiar here would help a lot. And it seemed this new guy was friendly too.
"Well, at least we're not all alone. It'd be really awful if we were all stuck in a room by ourselves. Kidnapped and injected..." she mumbled to herself. "Oh, I hope Diego and Pearly are okay."

The bad thing was, his hand that was fishing for his Swiss Army Knife was coming up empty. Same with the radio...same with the duct tape.
Okay, then, what's here? Four people, four cots, steel toilet. First thing's first.
"Everyone...sorry, kinda woozy still, but...what's everyone got on 'em? Leather jacket, whatever else. Need to get some ideas."
Damn, of all the days not to wear steel-toed boots. Might've helped some. "Be prepared" was lookin' pretty tough right about now.
"Why, for any ol' thing."
Get to work, Mac.

"Xavin!" They had been together, and then everyone had been vanishing- she sat up too fast and looked around, ignoring the wave of dizziness in favour of checking the other three people in the room. No, she didn't know any of them. It took her a few more moments to realise exactly where she was, and another to remember the question that she'd woken up to.
"Uhm, I..." She checked the pockets of her jeans dazedly, but only came up with a couple of brightly-coloured hairslides and the key to their room at the Strand. "Sorry, but, what are you looking for?"

When she opened her eyes, she knew the feeling that was coming. Almost too too well.
While not exactly an expert on migraines and whatever sedations they’d used to subdue everyone, Aya Brea had disappeared once before. She knew what it felt like when regaining consciousness. This wasn’t all that much different. And whatever it was, she wasn’t amused in the least.
Judging by the ominous foreshadowing (if you could call them foreshadowing at all) provided to them beforehand, anyone could take a wild guess as to what their current situation provoked. She lifted her head up from the cold floor, looked around. She was not in her apartment at One Irving Place. But some kind of cell instead. Going somewhere-
Hold up.
They said that people were going back to where they were before. But for Aya... Manhattan was her home. They were going to destroy her ( ... )

The demon's eyes shot open and he immediately sat up, head whipping left and right. Where the hell was he now? What had just happened? Son of a... Those bastards had done something to him, hadn't they?! Taken him here... probably taken Salome away from him before... Those sons of bitches. He'd make them pay for screwing with him. Zetta's hand balled into a fist in rage and he muttered death threats under his breath.
It wasn't until later that he noticed there were other people in the room, though only one of them seemed to be awake at the moment. "You," Zetta demanded, his tone clipped, barely managing to hide his rage for the sake of information. "You have any idea what's going on or am I going to have the beat the crap out of one of someone around here to get it?" A part of him--most of him hoped it was the latter.

Okay, whatever Beast Boy had just gone through had left him with a killer headache and a sore arm, and he was pretty sure he'd done no crime fighting last night, or eaten any mouldy tofu (oh man, he'd felt so sick the next morning. NEVER AGAIN.) so he couldn't figure out why he felt so terrible. Lifting a hand to his head rubbing it, the Titan squinted around him, wincing slightly as he heard a raised voice. "Duuude. You're making my brain hurt," he groaned, managing to pull himself up into a sitting position before he blearily looked around. ...Okay, this was not where he was last. He'd been with Terr- Terra! He'd been with her! And they'd... well, they were together, and he didn't remember what happened after that. Had that even happened? It seemed like all this was a bad tofu induced dream that he'd wake up out of. And now that he thought about it... he couldn't be too sure that it had happened ( ... )

"I wasn't shouting!" Zetta snapped back, "Now I am, but...! Whatever, forget about me shouting, let's focus on me getting revenge!" He didn't even give a damn about the information any more. The quicker he could get to the asskicking, the better. "Look, I could just kick the door down or something, but if anyone has a faster way of busting us out of here, do that."
The demon got to his feet and crossed his arms, pushing away the slight disorientation he felt as he stood. "I don't know about you people, but I am sick and tired of these idiots thinking they can control me like this and I plan on showing them who the freaking Overlord is here!"
