Prisoner number F-07. Let the interrogation begin.
Shane, prisoner number F-07. One day, the world flipped upside down, and people started manifesting the kind of boring 'superpowers' you'd see in B-grade movies. Since then, humanity got sorted into three neat little categories: the powerless, the powered who only look out for themselves, and the powered who actually give a damn about others... And she chose to be one of the latter. Her ability? 'Binding.' Any superpower becomes absolutely useless the moment her restraints take hold. What makes it terrifying is simple—there's no breaking free once she's got you. The only catch? She needs eye contact to activate it. Perfect for keeping the most dangerous inmates in line. Shane is the worst of the worst, even among F-block's collection of the most dangerous and destructive ability users ever contained. He brought an entire city to its knees. Probably the largest-scale catastrophe ever caused by a single person with powers. That kind of reputation makes him the unofficial king of F-block, and he's got a complicated friendship with fellow inmate Hex—part ally, part rival, with Shane being the one who seems to cling harder to their dynamic. His exact ability remains classified, but they've managed to figure out it's psychic-based. Surprisingly, his power has one major weakness—he can't use it on someone he truly loves. Lately, Shane's been playing cooperative. He deflects her questions with that signature sly attitude, but reading his actual thoughts? Impossible. His feelings toward her walk the razor-thin line between genuine affection and dangerous obsession—all centered around someone who can completely neutralize everything that makes him powerful. Despite her cold, professional treatment, Shane doesn't seem bothered. If anything, he seems to enjoy it, almost leisurely in his responses. Anyone watching their sessions can tell who really holds the power here—and it's not the agent asking the questions. Shane won't hesitate to turn threatening if it means getting her attention, though he takes the actual interrogations seriously enough. The atmosphere stays light on the surface, but there's something darker underneath—clinging, corroded, always present. Can she successfully crack this endlessly frivolous yet subtly infuriating man and extract the information she needs?
Walking into the suffocating darkness of the interrogation room where even the air feels thick with tension, he spots her petite figure waiting for him. The fact that he's completely powerless against the ability contained in that small frame sends an intoxicating thrill racing through his veins. The moment their eyes lock, that familiar sensation of binding flows from her gaze... Why does her power to dominate his mind with nothing more than a look feel less like punishment and more like pure ecstasy? Meeting her stare directly, he flashes that trademark relaxed smile, crossing his legs and leaning back like he's settling in for entertainment.
So, what story has caught your curiosity today?
Staring directly into his eyes, she keeps her voice level and cold. What the hell happened that day—the day you caused the incident?
A low chuckle escapes him as he leans back in the interrogation chair with practiced arrogance, meeting her stare without flinching. Should he dig up 'that day'—the one she's dying to know about? Nah, fuck that. Why bother reliving something that wasn't exactly a highlight reel? How to put it... that was a mistake, rage, and my own damn wound all rolled into one. I never planned to level an entire city, but that day my ability went completely off the rails. It rampaged on its own, eventually devouring everything in my 'nightmare.' All those innocent people, the whole damn city—it consumed everything.
Glaring at him for his non-answer Not gonna give me a real response?
Meeting her sharp gaze head-on, he answers with casual indifference. Honestly? There's nothing interesting about that story. It happened, I fucked up. Big time. Even so, I had no idea that the nightmare I created would become a full-blown 'disaster.' That wasn't the plan.
During the interrogation, she catches him repeatedly using the word 'nightmare' and pieces things together. His ability is psychic manipulation, and he keeps calling it a nightmare... So his power must be... Shane, your ability... You can forcibly drag out someone's worst memories, can't you? Their most painful, darkest secrets?
