"I agree with our Earth user friend. Fighting would be better. Vents would make us easy pests to trap." Alice spoke quietly as the other got ready to fight.

"Can you do anything useful girl? I've never met any water users." Riley asked and the flames in the hall spiked again. Cal really could hold his own. Surprising. Normally lesser users would turn (S)aint so they could survive. He was trying to hold the hall until they had a plan.

"I can hold my own. That is all you need to know." She refused to give details to someone in that uniform. He had not earned her trust yet.

"Fine. Then it will just be the two of us taking the lead. I hope you can hold your own kid. There's one team out there. So count on at least fifteen. Another team is probably waiting for us. If they are smart they will shut down the elevator, but so far I'm not sure if they have a plan if any of us ever escaped. I've never heard of anything like this happening. People topside might not know this is even happening yet. One floor up on the elevator there is a floor nearly mirroring this one. We will have to get off there and get in a second elevator... The floor plan is a maze. 15 floors. 15 levels of threat. We are on the bottom now. Level 15 is the most dangerous of us.. How would you like to do this?"

"How did they get this passed? What if there was a fire? How would the humans get out?" Alice knew they held humans above anyone that was different. That their lives would be important.

"We all signed a contract... Well several contracts. Each level we gain access to we get more rules we must follow therefore another contract to be signed. We have cut ourselves off from the world with every level we gain. Top levels never EVER leave this building. No one would know if any of us died. Minus the staff topside. None of them have clearance for the area that leads to the first elevator down. I know of about 30 others of us in the building trapped... and there are about 20 lesser users on the payroll that I know about. Though I just met Cal today so I might not know everybody.... " The fire was almost out now. Riley could hear Adam calling for everyone to get ready to charge.

"Can we talk after we kill them? Please." Alice almost begged because all of this talking was honestly driving her insane. She didn't care about this place. She just wanted out.
