The clone glared at Ryker, clearly blaming him for Gem's pain. But, Gem had told him to listen to the guy. Grudgingly, he walked over to the guard, and reached out to grab his keys...But, his hand went straight through them. "I can't do it," he whispered apologetically. He was their last chance, and he had let them down. "I'm sorry..."
Unable to take anymore, Gem gave in and let the clone disappear. "I'm sorry," he repeated the clones' words, genuine sadness in his voice.

ryker saw the kid was exhuasted and was really sorry he couldn't help. "it's okay. you tried, that's all that matters. you listened to me even after i was a douche. get some rest. i'm sorry i wasted you energy for nothing." he said all of this softly. he was sorry, it had been useless. he wanted to shake the guard awake. he could almost touch him. he stuck his shoulder out and as his fingers touched the guards sleeve, he got an idea. he looked at the kid excitedly. "i can reach them!" he said. he crouched down and gripped the keys. he squeezed the latch on the keychain and wrenched off the big set off keys from their hook. he smiled at the kid. then he REALLY looked at the key chain. there had to be at least a hundred on there. he looked at the keyhole. it was a wierdly notched. he knew it couldn't be picked, he already tried that. he studied the keys and found 5 possible keys. the first one was too small. the second was too big. the third didn't even make it through the first notches. four went in but didn't turn the lock. desperate, he tried five. it fit. he turned it slowly and it turned. he slowly pushed open the door and stepped out. he went to the kids door and opened it. "so," he asked "whats your name anyway?"

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Gem didn't respond. He just turned away from Ryker, and pulled his knees up to his chest. For a moment, he had really started to get his hopes up. It was really over...They were really going to die. That had been their last chance to get out of there. He completely ignored Ryker when he cried out that he could reach the keys...Good for him...Even if he did manage to get out, he would leave alone. He wouldn't waste time-
When he heard the key unlock Ryker's door, part of him hoped Ryker would let him out too, and he looked back at him in shock, when he did. "Why are you...?" he started, slowly getting to his feet. "You know I'm exhausted...I'll just slow you down. So why?"
He stepped out of the cell, half expecting Ryker to slam it in his face again. But, he didn't. "Gemini," he replied, his voice still filled with confusion. "But...everyone calls me Gem. How about you?" He began to follow Ryker down the corridor, silently passing the guard, and watching out for more of them. They may have been out of their cells, but the security in this place was still high.

[Chip]

"my name is ryker. im bringing you with me because i think we could be a good team. its easier to get out with two." ryker smiled. then he heard footsteps. "hurry! hold on to me. i can get us up there!" he said trying to save their asses.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

"I guess, you're right," Gem replied thoughtfully. He stopped walking. "But, if you try to turn against me once we're out of here, I will kill you."
When the sound of footsteps could be heard, coming closer and closer to them, he instinctively took a few steps back. "I can fly, too, you know," he grumbled. But he knew he wouldn't be able to. "But wait! Don't do it...Using your powers out here will hurt...No, not just that...It will almost kill you. There has to be some other way we can hide."

[Chip]

"well i don't know where. back in the cells? ill take the key!" ryker fumbled with the key for a bit and finally got it. he kicked the keys under the chair and went to his cell quietly shutting the door. he put on his poker face.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Gem hurried back to his own cell, feeling a little guilty...But, if Ryker had used his power out there, he would have probably ended up falling back down on one of the guards. Then, they would have been in trouble. He glared at the two guards as they walked past, smug expressions on their faces...And, ropes in their arms.
The little colour there already was drained from Gem's face. He knew exactly what those ropes were for, and why the guards were bringing them through here, when they could have got to the courtyard without having to pass the cells. Gem resisted the temptation to run out of his cell, and attack the guards with the very ropes they intended to kill them with. "There's got to be hundreds of them still walking around," he pointed out once they had gone. "We may be able to run up and down the corridor, but we're not going to get very far unless...unless we're prepared to fight, or even kill them." He stood up, and quietly left his cell. "Or, at least we could kill the next guard who looks about the same size as you. It may be cliché, but disguising yourself as a guard escorting a prisoner to the isolation unit might work."

[Chip]

ryker studied gem. it was a good idea. the problem was the uniform. a snore interupted his thoughts. 'that's it!' he thought to himself. 'fatty's suit! it is gonna be big but a belt will work until a can find somewhere to change in to clothes that will fit.' he smiled at gem and pointed to fatty. "let's do this. we need duct tape, rope, and his clothes." he smiled and opened their cell doors.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Gem gave Ryker a bewildered look. "Aren't his clothes a little big?" he asked, looking at the guard, who was massive compared to Ryker. And not just outwards. He was taller, too. "I hope you know what you're doing," he grumbled. "And...the only ropes just passed us. Where the hell are we going to find duct tape?"
Unfortunately, the guard chose that moment to wake up. He blinked in confusion, then glared at the two escapees, jumping to his feet, surprisingly fast. "How did you get out?" he demanded angrily, trying to grab at them, still not fully awake.

[Chip]

"fuck!" ryker said. he grabbed fatty's gun. still weary from sleep, he made a clumsy grab at ryker. ryker had lived on the street and was a fair fighter. he grabbed fatty by the neck, awkward because fatty was taller then he, and put the gun to his temple. "just be quiet and we don't have to redecorate with your brains. capiche?" the guard nodded. now where is the duct tape? " ryker asked harshly. the guard pointed to the cabinet, not visible from the cell's. "good. gem? will ya?" turning back to the guard. "and the extra clothes?" he asked. "in the locker room down the hall." he said angrily. 'must be mad he was out smarted by two kids.' ryker thought haughtily.

(D: do you think you could slow the posting a little, when I'm not online, because now I'm 3 pages behind....could you give me a quick re-cap please?)

[Chip]

{ryker and gem are attempting to escape}

[Fujoshi Otaku]

{D: If we stop posting, there will be nothing to post in, though. TT_TT I'm trying to go as slow as I can. This is all filler stuff, anyway. They can't really escape until morning. When will you be posting again? I realllllllllllllly want to post in Mcleans.}

Gem watched, impressed and disappointed when he saw Ryker grab the guard. He wanted to do something to help, too...Ryker probably assumed he was weak. "Right," he replied when Ryker spoke to him. He hurried over to the cabinet and grabbed the duct tape, throwing it to Ryker.
Then, he quietly started down the corridor, towards the locker room...This was all too easy. He didn't like it. Why weren't there anymore guards in that corridor? Or in the locker room?...He found the uniform easily too. It was still a little big for Ryker, but it would have to do. And, there were two pairs of handcuffs...Those horrible, power blocking ones that drained their energy as they wore them.
But, just as he was about to leave, the door on the other side, leading to the guards' shower began to open, and Gem was forced to hide under one of the benches, praying the uniform he had just taken didn't belong to one of them.

[Chip]

ryker caught the duct tape. he duct taped fatty's mouth. he waited for the uniform and handcuff's. one for fatty, one for gem. ryker was tired of waiting. he started tapping his foot. 'where is he!' he thought to himself.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Gem pressed his hand over his mouth, trying to silence his breathing. The two guards were directly in front of him...The slightest sound, and it was over.
"Aw, man! Someone took my uniform, again," one of the officers grumbled. "Tight security...yeah right. It's the other guards you have to watch out for. Got a spare?"
"You can borrow this," the other guard sighed, throwing something to the first guard. "But try not to lose yours again...I'm tired of lending you stuff. You got your gun, at least?"
"Like I'd let it out of my sight with all the thieves around here."
Something heavy sounding, and metal was placed on the bench. The gun? Gem reached up slowly and grabbed it. He couldn't exactly shoot in here. Others would be alerted to the sound. But, he only had a few seconds before the guard realized it was gone. Taking a deep breath, he climbed out quickly, and hit the guard on the head as hard as he could with the gun. Fortunately, it was hard enough to knock him out. The element of surprise wouldn't work on the second guard, though.
"What the hell?" he gasped. He narrowed his eyes at Gem, seeing the uniform and cuffs he was holding, and the gun...He was trying to escape. "Oh no, you don't!" He reached out, grabbing Gem's wrist tightly, and forcing the gun out of his hand. It fell to the floor and spun away loudly.
Gem's eyes widened in fear. "Let go of me!" he demanded, kicking at the guards' legs. Desperately, he sunk his teeth into the guards' hand, refusing to let go, and forcing the guard to yelp in pain and release him. He had to think of a way out of there before he let go, even as the guard hit him once, then twice.
Finally, Gem managed to reach up, shoving his fingers deep into the guards' eye sockets. Blinding him. He pushed the guard away, watching him trying to grab uselessly at the air in front of him. Letting out a sigh of relief, Gem wiped away the blood that was running down his face from where the guard had hit him. Hopefully Ryker had been able to hold on long enough...He would probably be angry, though. He hurried out of the locker room, clutching the uniform and handcuffs, quietly making his way back to where Ryker was waiting.
"I'm sorry...there were guards..." he panted, dropping the uniform, and handing Ryker one of the pairs of handcuffs. "One of them...is going to draw attention soon."

[Chip]

ryker quickly handcuffed fatty and shoved him in the cell. he slid on the uniform. and yelled loudly "what the fuck are you doing out of your cell?" he grabbed gem by the shoulders. "to the isolation room with you!" he yelled as the guard came out of the locker room half naked. "yo-you! you blinded me! i'm gonna kill you!" he made a grab at gem but ryker put himself between them. "no you don't! he will be dead soon enough." he gave gem his best i-can't-wait-to-watch-you-die smile and winked. "i';m gonna take him to the isolation room, you should go have the doc look at that." he said grabbing gem by the shoulders again.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Rykers' performance was so convincing it was scary. Gem stared at the ground, pretending to have given up...It wasn't hard. He was exhausted, and the cuffs were slowly draining his remaining energy. The pounding pain in his head made it even harder to be energetic. He didn't even flinch when he heard the guard trying to attack him, but, he smiled up at Ryker. "You know, that look was unnecessary," he joked quietly as they passed the guard. Then, he giggled when he heard a loud crash, which indicated the guard had walked into something. "We really do make a good team...If we get out of here alive, I might consider not hating you so much. No promises, though."
There was still a long way to go, though...Even if they could move around freely like this, there was still the issue of actually getting outside. As they continued down the corridor, Gem looked at the floor again, trying to look as scared and upset as possible.

[Chip]

ryker smiled. "i took acting lessons as a kid. and deal." they passed a guard and he plastered a fuck you look on his face. he nodded a hello and never lost stride even though his heart was a jackhammer in his chest.
