Sure, he had always been quiet... But never this quiet. At first, Olympia had panicked. What if the lab had done something to him? But after him constantly saying he was fine, Olympia forced herself to believe him. She was probably being annoying anyway. And Olympia did *not* like being annoying. She wanted to be everyone's friends- she wanted people to trust her and like her. Olympia sighed, tracing patterns on the palm of her hand with her finger. She was sitting alone on a metal "bench" in one of the corridors near the girls's rooms. The Morning Meeting would start in 10 minutes, and Olympia would be bored until then. She saw Artemis skipping happily, Calliope following timidly as they made their way towards Olympia. She waved, standing up to join them. "Heya, Olympia!" Artemis said, smiling eagerly. Olympia raised an eyebrow suspiciously, smiling back. "I've never seen you this early to go to a Morning Meeting," she glanced at Calliope, "What are you two up to? You can count me in!" Artemis laughed, and Calliope smiled gently. Olympia had always liked Calliope, she was always very sweet. "We heard there's a transfer coming! Y'know, like an experiment that comes from a different lab? I can't wait to meet them!" Artemis said giddily. Olympia looked at her, confused. "A transfer? Wow... Remember our last transfer? From 2 years ago?" Calliope shuddered. "I remember him," she said softly, a slight smile evident on her face, "He was some metamorphosis- really dangerous. Transferred from Lab Violet 1." "He escaped last year, remember?" Artemis said with curious look, "The lab was practically shaking from the blaring sirens." The trio giggled. "So, why are you going early?" "Well, if this transfer is just as dangerous as the last one, we want to see them. Last time we barely got to even catch a glimpse of him! I want to see how dangerous they really are." Olympia tilted her head at Artemis, turning her gaze to Calliope. "How did you get dragged into this?" Calliope giggled nervously. "... She bribed me with some pencils she found wedged under a dresser in an abandoned room. But the pencils have *colors* on them! Isn't that amazing!?" Olympia smiled brightly. Calliope had always been passionate about her drawings- that was her power after all; whatever she drew would come into existence. "So... Do you want in?" Artemis whispered, winking mischievously at Olympia. Olympia nodded quickly, like an eager puppy. "Are you *joking* with me right now, Artie? Of course I want in!" "Great! We heard the transfer is being held in the old training arena," Artemis said eagerly, grabbing both Calliope's and Olympia's wrists. As she dragged them towards the old training area, Olympia spotted Sammy. "Hey, Sam!" She said, waving with her free hand, laughing as Artemis tugged her and Calliope along. Unfortunately, Sammy frowned, a look of pure fear evident on his freckled face. He turned on his heel and started walking the other way. Artemis paused, watching Sammy as he walked hurriedly away from them. "Is he okay?" Calliope said, pale blue eyes shining with worry. "Um, yeah! I bet he's busy or something, probably didn't notice me," Olympia said hurriedly, twisting a strand of her extremely curly brown hair. "Whatever you say," Artmeis murmured, then continued dragging them. -- A Few Minutes Later -- "Ugh, when can we go in!!" Artemis said loudly. For someone with stealth powers, she was quite loud. "Artemis, quiet!" Calliope said worriedly, covering Artemis's mouth with her hand. The trio was hiding behind a cold metal wall just outside the old training area. They couldn't see the transfer, but they could see several guards outside. "I can try to use my powers if they don't have protective gear on," Olympia said, closing her eyes shut. "Good luck Lia," Calliope said quietly. Olympia was about to reply, but when she opened her eyes she realized she was now *standing* in front of the old training area. Her powers had worked. She had taken over one of the guards for the time being. She gestured to the other guards, all whom had helmets on. "I, uh, I saw something over there. We should check it out," she said, pointing down the hall and gesturing it was across the corner. "Right, sir. We'll leave some troops here-" "Er- no!" Olympia said loudly. She cleared her throat, trying to maintain her smooth voice. "We should all go. Just incase." "Um... Alright, sir." Olympia sighed inwardly as she led the guards away. She closed her eyes and left the guard, her own body now in her possession. (Continued in N&C)
