"Kath? Kath, it's me!" Eric said slightly relived. "Lights came back on and we couldn't find ya!"

((Alright! Do you want the run-down of Lulu's powers?)
There was a slight bang on the door, as if the person inside was telling Eric to shut up and leave. "Eric," Lulu said quietly. "I don't think she's in there willingly."

((Yes please, if it won't be annoying))

"I figured, I'm trying to act normal. So they won't know we know." He hissed.

(Alright. She used to be very shy and quiet, but experiments at an center for emotional care went awry while she was nearby, and she was too terrified to do anything, so she absorbed the blast, as well as some cranial damage. The brain damage changed her personality to an angry one, and now she can turn emotions into a physical force.)
She considered this for a moment, eventually nodding. "But how are we going to get her now? Acting casual won't get us anywhere with whoever they are," She told him, gesturing towards the door.

"I'll think of something." He said, drumming his fingers against his thigh. "You okay in there Kath? Need me to come in?"

Lulu's eyes widened as she realized something. Something she hadn't done for years - there was no need - but something that was perfect now. She grabbed Eric's arm and twisted him towards her. "Quick, tell me something that will make me angry."

"Uhhhh… you're music is shit." He said, saying the first insult to pop in his head.

"That'll do it," She said, rage starting to boil in her again. Come on, come on…channel it, Lulu, she told herself, holding out a hand in deep concentration. Sure enough, a thick, charcoal black smoke started to seep from it. Now, she smiled. "Thanks."

"Um… I have a question. Actually, several." He said, horribly confused.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll explain later. Just don't die," She told him, chucking the smoke at the door. It cracked, but didn't break, and a small shout of anger was heard from behind the door, as well as a yell of fear.

"Right. Okay. One moment." He said, before charging at the door. "I'm commin' KitKat!"

Lulu was beaming as she stood. She hadn't felt this happy in such a long time. To know that her powers hadn't gone away, and that she was still in control of them, felt amazing. But oh my god what's he doing

He crashed into the door, falling right back, but weakening it a bit more. Swearing was heard on the other side.

Idiot, Lulu thought to herself, another twirl of black smoke coming from her hand. She tossed it lightly at the door, and it crumbled to bits.

Two men stood inside, with Kathleen taped down to the chair, whimpering behind the duck tape over her mouth.

"Kath!"

Lulu stared with her mouth open at the scene, rage, confusion, and a little fear boiling up inside of her. If she didn’t channel it well, or something distracted her, it might turn out badly.

Eric, being the loyal and reckless dumbass he is, rushed right at them. "Get the fuck-" Only to get shot in the leg. Wait, where'd that guy get a gun?

“ERIC!” Lulu screamed, distracting her from channeling her anger. Heavy black smoke exploded out of her body and rushed into the room, knocking the two men over.

"…That works too." He said, forcing himself up. m

“Get up-“ She panicked in anger, grabbing his hand and helping him up. “We need to leave.”

"But Kath-" He said, catching himself before he stumbled.

“LEAVE!” She bellowed, yanking his arm and running.

He stumbled after her, looking back at Kathleen.

Lulu glanced into an empty room and pulled them into it, slamming the door behind her and leaning up against it.

"What was that? Why the hell would you leave Kath?" He said, hyperventilating. "Ow…"

"Because they had a gun!" She yelled, breathing heavily but slowly. "I wasn't angry enough to do anything about it, just really…really scared," She admitted, looking down.

Eric closed his eyes. "Are they still out there?"

"I don't know. After we kicked down the door and you got shot? Yeah, they're definetely just continuing with their business. No, Eric, they're still out there." She said sarcastically, still panicked. "I need to be angry right now."

"Um… um… You can't sing for shit!" He said, leaning down to clutch at his wound.

"Aha. I hate you so much." Lulu replied, flinging open the door and running outside as the smoke began to lift from her palms again. There were a couple gunshots, and then a thud noise, a shout, a scream, and a crash.
