Help or Harm?

Ricky nods, happy to help. He walks over to a box and opens it, carefully looking through the articles of clothing. “If we are unable to find it, I could lend you one of my own,” he offers softly, moving on to another box. “I have plenty of coats and sweatshirts. Of course, they’d all be rather big on you…but still.” He glances to the bed, walking over and lifting it up with ease, checking to see if perhaps the coat had somehow managed to slip under there.

Sophia blushed, the idea of her in Ricky’s jacket bringing an unexpected flutter in her heart. “Oh! Well, hopefully we will find it, but thank you! I would appreciate that.” She replied, hiding her face from view. She moved to another box. She jumped when he lifted the bed, then smiled. “I remember when we found out Diego had super-strength. We had been playing hide and seek and I had crawled under the bed. He still hadn’t figured out his size-control, but he wanted to check under the bed. He lifted it up over his head with this surprised but victorious grin that he had found me. He was 4.” She got a far off look at the memory, hands still in the box, but no longer searching.

“Really, no rush,” Ricky chuckles, watching her search around. Eyeing a few of the boxes, the boy takes a few steps into her room. “Would you like me to help? I could look through a few if that’s-that’s alright?”

Sophia turns to him, a small look of gratitude on her face. “Sure! They are all mostly clothes. It is a small black winter coat and it should be near the top of one of these boxes...” She replied. She had moved on to a second one when the first one turned up short.

Jin smiled. The venom had done its work. The power came back on as some workers he had mentally sent to fix the problem did their job. She would soon be coming too, so she needed to be locked up until she learned to behave. He called some guards in and had them escort her to a room which she was to be kept under lock and key and to set up a watch around the door. He was pretty sure he knew what her mutation was, but he wanted to make sure she wasn’t hiding anything else.

“It will only take a moment!” Sophia promised, pushing her hair out of her face embarrassedly. “Sorry for all the boxes. I did only move in a little earlier this week.” She started digging through the one by her bed. “I know my coat is in one of these somewhere...”

Ricky smiles and follows behind Sophia. “Oh I’m sure it’s fine,” he chuckles. “Can’t be any worse than my room. The floor in my room might as well be made out of stray pieces of homework and large hoodies.”

Sophia laughed. “Well then, I won’t stress about it!” She giggled. They walked the rest of the way in a comfortable, yet awkward silence. She unlocked her door and pushed it open. “Well, here we are!” She announced. “I’ll be quick to grab my jacket and purse.” She promised. She stepped around the few boxes of possessions she had not unpacked yet and the bags of clothes that the Academy had lent her the money to purchase.

“Oh no!” she began when he pulled the syringe out, “you’ve found my weakness. Needles.” She was trying to sound sarcastic and confident. However, as soon as the substance was injected into her arm, she began to feel weird. Her head began to grow fuzzy. “What did…you…do to me?”

Jin let the girl go. He knew she would be no trouble now. He could already feel her mental presence winking into being in his mind. He grinned an evil grin. “Exactly as you said. I found your weakness. But it is not needles as you said. It is my venom.” He said. “Soon, you shall be fully under my control. How do you like that, Little Mouse?” He tilted his head and watched with a demented glee as she struggled fruitlessly against his poison.
