Jo had been too trusting.
Lord had come to her as she lounged in the park, saying that Alex was looking for her. Jo was quick to get into the back of his car to go see her favorite Agent Gay Panic when he had offered her the treat, saying that Alex gave it to him so Jo knew he could be trusted.
Needless to say, Jo fell for it, and she had fallen asleep relatively quickly. She started to come to slowly, whining softly as she did so.
âAlexâŚ?â Jo asks telepathically. She eventually is able to look over at Lord. Her tail wags a bit. âIs Alex here? I wanted to give herâŚâ she stops, though, when she feels the collar. Jo tries to pull against it, resulting in that shock.
She yelps loudly in pain before looking over at Maxwell.
âWhat is this? Whereâs Alex?â
Alex would never agree to her being put into a shock collar. Somethingâs wrong.
While at the DEO, he had come in contact with some fascinating technology... some of it he had been able to copy and emulate. From it, he had been able to include an upgrade to his security system code, something to cloak his secret laboratory and stop unwanted visitors from breaking in like last time.Â
âAgent Danvers isnât here. In fact, the room is completely soundproof and several miles underground. No one can hear you or track you here as all signals are interrupted.â The one thing he didnât count on was magic and the sisterly bond that Jo and Alex shared.
âRelax, I just want to understand you, your powers, your motivations. If you cooperate, this wonât hurt. Understood?â Since Myriad, his paranoia and distrust had only heightened.Â
âIâve seen what you can do,â his voice an ominous whisper. âWell, the shapeshifting, at least... whatâs your real form? What else can you do?â
