Leon jumped when he heard the sound on the roof. "Molly?" he whispered.

Haruka clamped a hand over Leon's mouth and motioned a 'shh' at him. She regretted even opening her mouth before.
A young girl sat in the dusty floor of one of the many cellars inside of the Reboot Rebels camp. There was a sharp rock in her hand as she scratched out another tally mark on the wall. Fourteen. She'd been here only fourteen days and all they'd done was leave her down here to rot. She hadn't eaten in a few days and her stomach rumbled loudly in protest. He hadn't come back to her. He hadn't returned to bring her food and her water supply was near gone. Levy was losing hope.

Elroy squinted in the blackness but for the first time his senses picked up on something, there WAS technology down here! A light, no, a torchlight? YES! "Light up!" he commanded and a white beam of light shone out of a flashlight on the floor and lit up a girl's ankles. He flinched back. "WHo's there? I see you come on out!" he summoned the light into his hand and shone it down at her. A foe? Or another prisoner?

Dirt was smeared on the small, round face. Levy grimaced at what she must've looked like in the harsh beam of the flashlight. You look like a child, Lev. What do you expect? You're as scrawny as one, that's for sure. "M-my name's Levy. Please, don't hurt me. I'm unarmed." Her voice broke and brief shudders took over her body. She nearly forgot about her fractured rib. A tiny hand was brought up to block out the bright light from her sensitive blue eyes.

Elroy lowered the light so he wasn't blinding her and crouched down. "Sorry." he sighed in releif. "I didn't mean to scare you... I'm a prisoner down here too." he set the light down so she could see his face. "I'm Elroy, I used to be a teacher at the Academy, I won't hurt you."

Levy studied him through strands of her greasy, limp hair. "Like I said.. I'm Levy. I've never been to the Academy or been a Commando... or a Rebel. I'm just some girl who lived on the streets." She outstretched her hand to him for him to shake.

Elroy shook her hand gently. "Just in the wrong place at the wrong time, huh?" he sat down on the floor. "Well, Levy, what sort of powers do you have? Maybe between the two of us we could figure a way out of here?"

She nodded with a bitter smirk. "My powers won't help you much unless you're injured. I can heal you whenever you like... that's pretty much all I've got."

"That's a good power, and we might have need of it soon." Elroy examined his various cuts and bruises. "I should be alright, but thank you, how long have you been down here? Is there any sort of way out?"

"Two weeks." She licked her chapped lips and tasted dirt, "I have yet to find a way out except for the entrance. That's where he'd always come in to see me or bring me food." Levy jerked her head toward the entrance.

"Which 'he'?" Elroy looked towards the door. "I used to work topside, back when I was under Alfonse's control." he paused. "You know of anything down here with power? Batteries? Wires? Outlets?"

"Wilder." Levy admitted quietly. The male had sought her out nearly every day since she'd been taken captive. They had met outside in the rubble of the city long before she was a prisoner. Lately though, Wilder hadn't been around in nearly three days. "I've seen both batteries and wires. I couldn't tell you if they work, but I did recently find an outlet that I'm almost positive still has some juice in it."

Elroy remembered Wilder, the wolf boy, but that was swept from his mind at the news. "Could you show me? I might be able to make something if we've lucky, and God knows we could use some luck."

Levy nodded briskly and pulled herself up from her spot on the floor. Her body ached with a weariness that wasn't so deep in her bones before. She pushed her hair out of her face and headed towards the darkest corner of the cellar. She was weaving between the boxes and useless objects, "It's just back here." She pushed aside a lamp and pointed with her tiny finger to the outlet. "There it is."

Elroy stared at it and nodded. "Perfect, step back a little, and don't ever try this, ok?" he pried off the casing and stuck his fingers in the outlet, his eyes glowed blue and the veins on his arms glowed the same blue at the energy from the outlet flowed into him like a cable. Elroy took in all the energy he could then stepped back. "Alright, I have enough electricity to stun Wilder when he comes down next, we could make it to the surface, from there I have access to the generators and cables and I can do some serious damage."
