Ava sputtered, scared to death. She flickered, staying invisible.
Jack held her close so that she didn't attract the attention of the searchers above them....they would go soon, hopefully....
Jack was intrigued by the fact Ava kept phasing into and out of visibility. She would be an excellent spy...but of course, that is not the way Victor does things....
"Jack? Are they gone?" Ava urgently hissed, treading water.
"I think they have", listened Jack. They swam round under the dock and found.a ladder fixing to climb out at. Jack first, they ascended the ladder.
Finding the coastt clear and the sun.warm, Jack slumped onto the ground.

Ava lay on the ground, fatigued and scared. She was still invisible, and she coughed and sputtered.
Jack gasped and got to his feet. He helped Ava get up...."we should find shelter....", he suggested.
Ava nodded. "Probably." She became visible, and shakily stood.
They lurched towards some old storage sheds and broke in...
Jack made a fire so they would dry out.
Ava shivered and was glad for the fire. "Why me, Jack? Why help me?"
"Why not ?", he answered. "I have been slowly becoming disenchanted with The Organisation. Their rules seem to work for nobody but them. And lately they have started 'collecting' powers for some scientist called Victor Vandalski. I think you and he have met!"
"Was that him?" Ava said, calmed down. "He seemed very charming."
"You are joking aren't you?", stated Jack.
"No, I'm being serious," Ava said, rolling her eyes.
"Victor is a nut. Do you realise what he was about to do to you if I had not come in?", freaked Jack.
Ava stayed silent, looking away. "What?"
"The sick bastard was going to start cutting into you...I had to grab the scalpel from him. He was a selfish monster Ava...like all of The Organisation is.
Her eyes widened, despite the forethought.
A familiar voice rang out through the air inside the shelter...
"I wouldn't say I was selfish!", corrected Victor, appearing through the door with about ten Organisation shock troopers, "I just like my job !".

Ava's eyes widened, and guards surrounded her. She tried to vanish, but was too drained of energy, and they raised their weapons, training them on her head.
Victor had a huge scar on his head where Jack had stabbed him...but clearly not hard enough. He walked towards them.
A guard grabbed Ava, passing her off to Victor. She flinched and didn't fight, just tried to disappear. The best she could do was a weak flicker.
"What can you possibly want from these innocent kids ?", shouted Jack.
"Kill him!", was the only reply Victor gave.
"Kill him!", was the only reply Victor gave.
"No!" Ava cried, finding strength to speak. "
"I'll go! Test on me, take my powers, just don't kill him!"
"Well...well...", smiled Victor, with the side of his face that worked. Jack's scalpel stab had clearly prevented the left half from doing anything but stare menacingly, "I believe we just found our bartering tool...".
"Take them both back to my lab !", he ordered.
"Take them both back to my lab !", he ordered.
Ava felt a prick in her shoulder, and she slumped in the guards' arms. They took her over to a truck, handcuffing her wrists and ankles to the bench.
jack fought, but to no avail, and he too was injected and bound...
Ava woke slowly, and found herself on the bed, but strapped down with thick bands, which were locked at the bottom. She struggled, yelling, fighting. Ava found that she was already hooked up to machines, and that there were already vials of her blood next to her, among other things.
Jack watched helplessly through the bars of the containment cell. He could see Ava strapped to the table amidst all sorts of machinery....and worse, he could see Victor walking towards her....
Ava closed her eyes, trying not to look at Victor. She strained against the bands, but they only grew tighter.
"Glad to be back darling....I knew you couldn't keep away from me !", sneered Victor, slipping on his trademark black latex surgical gloves....."I personally couldn't wait to get my hands back onto you....or should that be INTO you ?", he tittered.
Ava flinched at his voice, opening her eyes. "You're an ignorant oaf. Don't act so condescending." She vanished, wishing that she had the power to teleport over invisibility.
"What I cannot see....is still there!", stated Victor, inserting a scalpel into Ava's arm and watching to see if the blood was red or camouflaged ?
"Ah-!" Ava cried out, becoming visible. Her blood was invisible when she was, but as soon as she appeared, it was dark red.
"Leave her alone you bastard !", cried Jack, rattling the bars of his cage...
Victor simply smiled at him and tilted his head, "Not, like this then ?", he asked, slicing the scalpel deeper...

Ava hissed in pain, through gritted teeth. She felt lightheaded, and leaned back, slumping against the bed. Ava stared at the white lights above her, feeling dizzy.
"LEAVE HER....PLEASE...I'LL DO ANYTHING !", screamed Jack.
Victor grinned, "I'm sure you would, but sadly the one thing you cannot do is what I need to know...". The scientist deftly removed the flap of skin and began to prod around in Ava's thigh muscle.

Ava wished that she had morphine, or something. The pain was so bad. She passed out, and flickered in visibility, her muscle visible the whole time. Blood trickled down her thigh and leg.
"Very interesting.......", pondered Victor, taking a needle and gathering some of Ava's blood, "Bring me toy number two !", he pointed at Jack and instructed the guards.
Ava woke a few moments later, very pale and breathing shallowly. "Ja-Jack."
Jack was now strapped to a table close buy, a blood transfusion machine set up between them. . .
Ava let out a small moan, her thigh open and bleeding. She could feel her eyelids dropping, and her pulse slow.
"Let us see what powerful blood does to the non-powerful", leered Victor, rubbing his hands together...He switched on the machine and stood back...
Ava felt blood be pumped out of her, and she bit back a scream, instead letting out a pathetic whimper.
Jack arched his back in agony and began to roar in a feral, guttural cacophony of pain.
Pain shot through Ava, and she screamed. She could feel her whole essence slipping away, and just stopped fighting. Everything became so dark, and cold.
