"The president, he brainwashed you! And he made you guys were his bodyguards." I said as I wiped my eyes. I could tell he was confused. "Wait what? Start from the beginning." He said helping me stand up. I explained to him everything that happened. "I chased after you!? I'm so sorry..." he said hugging me. We both looked at Austin and knew we also had to jog his memory. We decided to have Noah hold Austin down while I yelled at him. Ok... 3,2,1. "Spaghetti!" I yelled. Noah loosened his grip. "He's himself again." "How do you know?" I said inspecting him. I looked at Austin. He looked at me and his eyes became very wide. "May! I'm so sorry for what I did, I couldn't control myself!" He said grabbing my hand and inspecting it. Looked up an him and scrunched my eyebrows. "What do you mean? You were conscious? You knew what you were doing?" I said pulling away from him. I looked at me with apologetic eyes. Please, since my powers don't allow me to be controlled, he took away some of my consciousness and controlled the other part. It was like I was in my body but I couldn't control it. Please, believe me." he said reaching out and pulling me in for a hug. I let him hug me but I realized how I was going to get to the bathroom. "Guys, I have an idea. About how to escape. And help everybody else escape." I said pulling out my phone. I showed them the text. 

"Well, what does that mean? How do you know its not a trap?" Noah said as he looked at the door. Austin shook his head and said, "But that doesn't make sense, why would the text you that?" I looked up at him rolled my eyes. He paused and ran towards the door. "Wait! The staff will notice that your not the same. We need to act." I said as I grabbed his hand. "Wait, why were you running of anyways?" Noah said stepping toward him. He looked and me and smiled. "I know how to get to the bathroom." Austin said turning towards the closet. I smiled and turned to Noah. "What? What is it?" he said backing away from us. A strange feeling ran through me as I jolted forwards. I felt a rush of adrenaline and heard someone's voice. I ran over to Noah and tackled him. "AHH! What are you doing!" he said as he fought me. Austin ran behind me and pulled me up. I fought until I felt like I was going to pass out. Austin used his powers and trapped me in a transparent box. "What's going on with her? She was just smiling a second ago..." Noah said inspecting me. I was sitting there watching him stare at me. I jumped up at him and banged on the barrier. He jumped back and then stuck his tongue out at me. I sat back down and put my back towards their faces. "Someone's controlling her. And its not the president. While I was unconscious, the president mentioned that he couldn't control her but his "boss" could." Austin said turning towards Noah. "Who is his boss?" Noah said looking out the window. "Listen, you cannot tell anybody this ok?" Austin said pulling Noah in front of him. "Wait you know? Why haven't you told her?" Noah said. "Shut up! Now, her father. The Presidents boss is her father." Austin said looking back at me. 

I was still turned away from them, not hearing anything that they were saying. "What...? She thinks she is related to you! Why wouldn't you tell her?" Noah said letting go of Austin. "Dude, her dad, is the biggest criminal in the world. You wonder why nobody has caught him? It's because if you try... then, you know, you go missing. People are trying to find a way for years but they still can't. When his wife had birth with May, they put her up for adoption because her dads parents wanted her to go away." Austin said rubbing his temples and sitting down in one of the lounge chairs. "Woah, why does her dad want her back?" Noah said siting down in the chair next to him. "I don't know. It's probably gonna be like, 'oh, I want my daughter now so I can control her and we can rule the world together' blah, blah, blah, I want to destroy everything." Austin said dancing in the air. "Haha that's funny!" Noah said laughing and holding his stomach. "Awww, that's not very nice... Austin." a mysterious voice said. Noah immediately stopped laughing. 

Austin spun around and tensed up. "Don't touch her. You don't deserve that right!" Austin said preparing to launch towards the man. "Why don't I get to see my daughter?" the man said putting his hand on my head. I was sitting down and looked up. "Don't do it! Please, don't. Can we at least come to an agreement? Just don't, don't do it." Austin said putting his hands up. I looked up at my father again. "How about, No." the man said as energy started to come out of his hands. The last thing I remember was feeling light-headed and Austin jumping towards me.
