(Stood still for a few moments, utterly confused at what had just happened. Jack was about to touch his lips with his fingers when he realized they were still covered in Liz's blood. He went over to the sink and wash them quickly. He then grabbed all of the things he had brought form the infirmary. While doing all of this he was silent. He walked toward the door and looked at Liz, his face was blushing.)
Mindcontrol: I'm going to check on the kids before they burn the place down. I'll be back later to bring you something to eat. What would....
(Jack was about to ask Liz what she would like to eat, but he figured she was too embarrassed form the kiss to even say anything. Jack stepped out of the cell, making sure to close and lock it. He looked at Liz before leaving.)

Liz smiled sadly. She knew that she had crossed a line. After all, she was still with Wolf to some degree and he was still with Ave, but she wouldn't regret the kiss. It was something she had been wanting for a long time and finally had done it. She just wondered if he would come to hate her for it. She cleared her throat as if the kiss had cleared her mind a little, "Just a PB&J sandwich with milk would be nice..." She wondered if he even heard her.

(Once the elevator doors opened, Jack walked toward the detention center. In his mind, Jack was figuring out how to put into words the bad news. When he finally reached the detention center, he stopped. Jack looked up at the ceiling lights and let out a deep sigh. He then entered the code on the keypad and the doors swung open. Walking in, Jack turned to Sara's cell. He was surprised that she appeared to be sleeping. Jack thought was a good thing. He didn't need her listening to the conversation with Liz. He continued walking to Liz's cell. Jack stopped and looked at Liz.)
Mindcontrol: Liz, I'm back. I brought you your food.
(Jack's tone sounded nonchalant. It was as if Liz cutting herself and her kissing him had no effect on Jack emotionally.)

Liz had curled up as best she could in the far corner of her bed when Jack had left, but when she heard his voice, she unfurled and looked over at him, "Danke. I am surprised zat you came back." It was unclear as to if she meant "back with food" or "back at all."

(Jack used his telekinesis to let the plate and cup levitate while he unlocked the door. He then opened it can grabbed the plate and cup with his hands. Walking inside he handed the plate with the sandwich and cup of milk to Liz.)
Mindcontrol: Sorry, I had to tend to the kids and I was talking to Kitty.
(Jack spotted a stool at in the corner of the room. He walked over to it and picked it up. He then walked back to Liz and set it down, so she could use it as a table. Jack then sat next to Liz and waited for her to finish her food before breaking the news.)

Liz took the sandwich and started nibbling on it. She smiled lightly when she tasted the strawberry, her favorite jelly. She looked up at Jack as she took a sip, "I don't have to be psychic to tell somezing is bozering you. Vhat are you hiding from me?" She took another bite as she waited for a response.

(Jack smiled at the corner of his mouth. It didn't surprise Jack that she knew that something was wrong. He wasn't going to tell her just yet. The news would probably ruin her appetite; considering what Liz had been going through lately, that was the last thing Jack needed.)
Mindcontrol: I gotta admit, you were always good at figuring out when something was troubling us. Look I have nothing to hide. I'll tell you everything once you're done eating.

Liz sighed and took another sip of her milk before standing. She put the half finished sandwich and glass on the sink and then stood in front of Jack, her "leader" face firmly secured, "Nein. You vill tell me now. I heard ze jet leave and return. Vhat happened zat you don't vant to tell me." One could look at Liz and think she was battling her way back to sanity, but truth be told, she was still teetering.

(The smile on the corner of his lips disappeared. Jack crossed his arms and began to shake his head.)
Mindcontrol: Liz, sit down and finish your food. I don't want to hide anything from you. Honestly, what would I gain if I did? You're still part of the team and you've got every right to know everything that goes on around here. Just finish your food so I can give you the full briefing. Please.
(Jack was looking at Liz directly in the eye.)

(On the other side of the detention center, Sara woke from her sleep. Lifting herself up she heard voices in the distance. She could tell they belonged to Liz and Jack. She remained in her bed, and listened to what they had to say.)

The damaged girl stood her ground, "Yes. I am part of zis team und I am still leader vonce I get out of here. Tell me vhat happened." Her blue human eyes were cold and she was known to be stubborn on subjects of the team.

(Jack let out a sigh. He hated when she got like this.)
Mindcontrol: Alright, but you better eat the rest of your food once I'm done and I won't leave until you've done so.
(Jack closed his eyes for a few second, recollecting his thoughts. He wondered where he was going to start. A few moments later, he reopened them and starred back at Liz.)
Mindcontrol: This morning, after the incident, I got a call from Veronica. She's the commissioner of the LAPD and the one who helped us take over the Sovereigns' base. This morning, a group of mutants had broken into the base in search of someone. She asked me for my help. So I sent Avriletta, Keiy, and Kitty to handle the situation. They later confirmed that it was definitely the Sovereigns that were responsible for the attack.
(He stopped and waited for Liz to take in everything he had said.)

Liz back away and leaned against the wall facing Jack. Her cautious eyes didn't leave his face as she began fidgeting with the bandages again. She cleared her throat, "Go on."

Mindcontrol: When Kitty and the team got there, the Sovereigns some how let all the mutant prisoners out of the cells. So Kitty and the others had to protect themselves, while trying to stop the Sovereigns form escaping. Then out of nowhere, Count came into the scene and teleported his group out of the building. They got away. Luckily, our team wasn't hurt and the Sovereigns didn't find the person they were looking for. However, we did lose something...
(Jack reminded silent. His hands gripped the mattress he was sitting one. He was hating himself for what had happened.)
Mindcontrol: Pavati was taken by the Sovereigns.

Liz's face changed as he spoke. In the beginning it was unsure, then angry, but when Jack broke the news, her face and eyes were filled with rage. However when she spoke, it was a scary calm, "Vhat do you mean by taken?" Her jaw was clenching and unclenching as though she were biting back the words she longed to throw at the man in front of her.
