Second Random 1x1 Board?

[Gifted]

Victor pulled himself away and walked with Red back to the bench.
Vivian smiled at Fredrick. "We'll talk to you another time." She said with a small smile. "Sorry, but this is the first time in awhile I've gotten to talk to my brother. We're on opposite side of the hallway and... well, I'm sure you understand." She ran over to join them.

Beatrice was trying to teach Josiah how to take a proper basketball shot. She crouched down very close to him and gently held his arms to help walk him through the motions of the proper technique. Then she stood up with a smile and, when he tried on his own, she cheered and clapped. "You're doing better!" She told him. Josiah beamed. For a little while at least, he seemed to have forgotten he was in captivity.

[Raven]

Ben smiled and continued to watch them play.

Frederick nodded, he did understand.

"You really should stop wasting your energy," Red told Victor.

[Gifted]

"Shut up." Victor snapped. He hated that even now that thy were in captivity he still had no choice but to let Red push him around.
"Oh quit it, both of you. We need to come up with a plan to get out of here. I assume everyone has taken the time to examine the security out here?"

"They look so happy, don't they?" Sharie said, seeing where Ben was looking. She smiled. "Poor kid."

[Raven]

"Yeah... My sister got married, not so long before I was captured. She was on her honeymoon when they arrested me. She'll have no idea," Ben confessed.

"Of course," Red confirmed. He had zero ideas about escaping.

[Gifted]

"That's awful." Sharie said sympathetically. "I'm sorry."

"Briefly." Victor replied.
"And we're all in agreement that none of us have powers that could get us out of here without killing ourselves, correct?"
"So what, we're stuck here?" Victor protested.

[Raven]

"She never said that," Red said. "And we're in agreement."

Ben shrugged. "I'm glad she's safe. I assume she's safe."

[Gifted]

"Well then what?"
"I'm merely saying we're going to have to do a little play-acting for the time being." Vivian replied. "We need to get to know the others in hear. Become... friends with your cell neighbors. Learn everything you can about what they can be used for. We're going to have to use them and break everyone else, not just ourselves. Once we know all the tools at our disposal we can combine them to create an effective escape plan."

[Raven]

"Fun. Do you suppose they have other cell blocks?" Red questioned, watching the other prisoners.

[Gifted]

"I don't really care to know. I just want to get out of here as quickly as possible."

Just then several guard appeared at the door. "Your hour is over. Please cooperate as we take you back to your cells or we will be forced to shoot."

Beatrice's eyes widened and she hugged her brother protectively, wanting to shield him from them. Josiah hid behind his sister.

[Raven]

Ben went to them, staying close in case something happened. He would much rather take a bullet than let either of them do so.
No one put up a struggle, but Mia stared at the guard that came near her.

[Gifted]

It was a very long, tense moment but finally, Beatrice let go of Josiah. The two of them were separated and taken back to their cells. There were no violent incidents today. But the very airhad been tense when Beatrice had stared down the guard tying to take her brother. It was a powder keg, and the truce wouldn't last long.

[Raven]

Ben made sure Josiah was in his cell before he would move into his.

[Gifted]

It was late that night, or maybe early the next morning, when Josiah was removed from his cell. Less than an hour later, Ben was awoken to the sound of his door opening, and Josiah trying to argue with a guard.
"No, I won't! I won't do it, let me go!"
"Kid, it'll take you five seconds, just ask. The question."

[Raven]

Ben sat up on his bed and looked towards the door. "It's okay, Josiah. What do they want you to ask me?"

[Gifted]

"See, he gave you permission. Just ask him."
Josiah had a bright blue armband around his upper left arm, the same armband that all the guards were wearing. He was being held by two guards, each holding an arm. One was threatening him with a taser, holding it dangerously close to his body. Josiah squirmed, terrified, and tried not to face Ben.
"No! I won't speak to him! He doesn't know what he's saying, I won't!" The guard pressed the taser to his side and Josiah screamed in pain, loud enough to be heard two cells over. When the taser turned off he seemed much more unsure, fearful and shaking.
"Just. Ask. The question."
"But-"
"Didn't he tell you days ago to cooperate if we were threatening to hurt you?"
Josiah vividly remembered that, now that the guard had mentioned it. And he was so scared... He just wanted to see his sister, or otherwise be put back in his cell. He didn't wasn't to be hurt again. But to see Bens horror and pain when he realized exactly what Josiah had done...
