"Sounds like a plan." Terra gives him another look when he follows up with his ire filled desire. "It could be lined up once we're good." She certainly wouldn't try to dissuade him from wanting that. She has felt that sort of anger plenty of times before as well.
"Privacy is definitely a good thing to have," Terra agrees with. "Haven't had many chances to have it as of late. Mostly go with the 'Don't bother me, I won't bother you' thought process," she adds in response to the being 'chill' comment.

"Long as I don't have to watch I don't really care what you and Ruin get up to.". Maven shifted uneasily in her bed. Terra could feel her awareness getting stronger. The grogginess the drugs had filled her with slipping away, taking the pins and needles from her limbs with it.
"What were you like in the before times? When it was just about food and territory? I liked to press my luck checking out haunted places. Pissed mom off some good, but that was half the fun."

This response from Maven, Terra gave a nod and shrug. "That's also alright." She didn't see a point in trying to persuade or force her to join in. She just sympathized with Ruins anger at Team Magma. With the fading prickling feeling along her extremities, she gave her arms a slight slow flex again. To test how it felt against the straps. The sooner she had her strength back completely the better.
The question of what she was like, Terra takes a moment to reflect on it. Looking up towards the ceiling in thought. "I had a cave. With lots of jewels and stones, they were very tasty. I also had a decent sized territory. I spent a lot of the time making sure that no one was trying to take it," she replies with a small pause. "I also spent a lot of time digging, its a good way to find the better minerals. Would also chew on almost everything." That did make her shake her head some at herself.

"I was a keeper of tales old and forgotten. Times humans left wayward. Lessons unlearned. Would that I had my full strength and the knowledge I now bear." Ruin shook his head. "You were earth and stone once then, but a beast of the mount and not a haunt of the ruins of man. Glad I am then, to attempt this with distant kin." "Could've been worse. Chewing on things is better then getting chewed on. Either way, a home, food, and stuff you cherish doesn't sound half bad. Not compared to what we've got now."
The straps are tight enough to restrict movement, but not so tight as to prevent bloodflow. There is enough give to them that small efforts to break them only test the tensile strength a little.

Time to make an escape wasn't upon them yet, so Terra restrained herself from trying the strength of the bindings too much. She would wait for both of her new acquaintances to have their strengths return.
"Do you two have a plan of some sort? You know, once you're out of here," Terra decides to ask. She had some idea of a plan. Loosely speaking. It involved finding where her stuff and pokemon were and then figuring out where they had taken her. "I've got some people I'll have to find after I get out of this place."

"Start a few fires, maybe find a rundown building somewhere nice if I can't make one and crash there. Humans are assholes, so I think I'm good just sticking to people like us. There's this place called the Ruins of Alph, full of these letter-eyeball Pokemon called Unown. Figure Ruin and I might fit right in there. Talk the little guys into spooking people out of the lower levels, just veg. Maybe make it comfortable if we can. Nothing sits quite the same anymore. Can't just sleep wherever we fall. It's these long limbs."
"Ere my vengeance is carried out I will not rest... once finished, mayhap I will seek your company, Terra. I feel a great violence with you, and in that a kinship."

There's a small surprised look with a slight smile at the idea of doing a bit of destruction. "I'll agree that a lot of humans are assholes," Terra replies with a couple of small nods. "Though I do have to admit, I've run into a handful of pretty good ones," she adds afterwards. "Some that have helped me, and even offered their home to stay."
Then looking back to Ruin she raises her eyebrows some. That was interesting to hear the word kinship used to describe the feeling of violence. "..Sure, yeah, that would be okay too," she states. A bit caught off guard, but not opposed to it.

"I am prepared.". Ruin declares. "By thy leave, Terra.". There is a palpable energy in the air as the three poise for their moment of escape.
(Make an athletics or a struggle attack if it is time to leave.)

With that statement, Terra nods once. "Alright. Here we go, let's get out of here..." she mutters to herself. Arms beginning to flex, muscles tensing and putting pressure against the straps. Her system working on getting the rest of the drugs from her system. Athletics: 12 without running shoes. Or 14 with running shoes.

The lights guttered out as Terra strained against her bonds, she felt them snap, pulling the needles, tubes and wires from her body as she climbed out of bed. There was the sound of something scything through metal and plastics, several pleasing crunches of glass and metal, and the lights guttered back on.
The scanner that had been over Ruin was in little pieces along his bed. The wires on Maven's helmet severed. The camera had been flattened as though by incredible force. "Okay... There is just the matter of the door now..."

Finally a sigh of relief left the girl's lips as she felt the straps give with a snap. Terra wasted no time sitting up on the bed. Hands rubbing over the area where the needles where pulled out. A few audible pops coming from her as she rotates her shoulders and neck.
Up to her feet, Terra made sure she had her balance before taking her top off and tossing it to Ruin. "Think you can stand using the sheet as makeshift bottoms, ya know like tying it around your waist, til we get to my stuff?" she asks him.
After that is taken care of she makes her way to the door. A hand moving to touch the surface to get a feel of its strength, and to check if its locked. "Can either of you do something about it? If not I can get us out, it'll be noisy" she comments. A slow breath drawn in as she positions her feet on the ground with focus, preparing to strike the door if needed.

"All the doors in here are magnetically sealed. The run electricity into plates in the wall so the door just sticks in place, and they use those black panels with the red light on them to read cards and release the lock. Ruin could get it, but we want to save him for cameras if we can. You said you can absorb electricity right?"
"A great boon.". Ruin bows respectfully to Terra, tying a sheet around his waist and cutting it ragged at around knee height with a sickle made of shadows and vapor. "Our things are to the left... Four rooms down.".

The explanation of the panels using cards she blinks. "I picked up one of those I think, when I first got in here," she comments. Patting down her shorts, checking the pockets. She doubted that they would be dumb enough to not take her pocket things. "Yeah, I guess you could put it that way," Terra replies about the electricity. "Alright, I'm just going to knock the panel out. Might wanna step back a little," she gives a warning before drawing her fist back and then slamming it into the panel, the sounds of metal crunching beneath the force mixing with fizzling electricity around her fist. Terra uses Brick Break! AC- 8vs2 31 Fighting Physical. Let's BREAK things.

A dull crunch and squeal as Terra's fist breaches the panel and seizes the wires underneath. The lights dimmed, and flared several times before a dull clunk indicated the lock had disengaged and the trio pressed on. The immediate left turn revealed a red uniformed grunt on patrol, with a yanking motion, Maven tore his feet out from under him from some distance away, leaving Terra and Ruin to fall upon him.

Being off the bed, and out of that room, Terra was already feeling much better. A glance around caught the grunt in her vision. Glare coming to her eyes as she saw him fall to the floor. No time to waste! The girl sprinted and tackled the already downed member. Weight being pushed down upon his body, and a hand going to silence him before he could cause an alarm. "Stay." A single word, a warning for the person to not struggle against her.

Terra's new prisoner doesn't make the slightest noise beyond a grunt as she lands on him, locks his head back and twists his arm into a really awkward position. There is an odd amount of color in his cheeks. Ruin drops into a squatting position in front of him, and stares into the boys eyes. "Not this one. He can keep them."
This brings about some thrashing but it isn't anything Terra can't handle.
Maven saunters down the hallway, stopping to touch each door along the way and closing her eyes. "Lab rooms... Might be more threats, might be more allies. Do we take our chances?"

The preoccupation in restraining the grunt and their escape, Terra doesn't take notice of the extra amount of red in his face as she keeps her hold firm. Eyes following Ruin's movement as he examines the captive.
"Lucky fella. Now, we're going to tie you up. You are going to stay quiet while we go onwards. Or else we will make you regret joining this awful organization," Terra states calmly. Shifting the both of them, so that she could remove the midriff jacket from him with a few quick and rough movements. To then use it as a makeshift binding material. Both arms pulled behind him, the jacket wrapped and tightened around them. Then checking for pokeballs, putting them away from the man's reach.
Maven's words takes her attention away from the grunt now. This question makes the girl think it over. "Allies would be good. And if they are like us, they shouldn't be left here," Terra comments. "You two able to handle yourselves okay in a fight?" she double checks. While they had powers, she didn't want to rush in if she was going to be the only one able to fight.

The grunt nods slowly, keeping his silence as he's bound with some tubing and other supplies from Terra's room. "I can protect myself fine, getting Ruin to chill will be the hard part."
"Death must be repaid with death! They took and must now be taken!". The boy made a point of stealing the grunt's socks, shoes, shirt, and gloves, seeming much more content. "Dude if you use the full outfit might buy us some time."
Ruin considered the pants.

There is an unseen relief at her captive complying with her orders. Smart boy. Terra listens while nodding with that answer. That seemed fair enough to her. She couldn't promise herself just how merciless she might become depending on who they come across.
"We can make that work then. I'm willing to check it out in that case," she answers on finding out who exactly was in the lab on the other side of the door.
With a look between the two males one almost down to his undergarments. "You wanted pants too right? Or have you come to like the makeshift one you've got?" Terra asks without really thinking much of the stripped grunt before them. Not really wanting to be wasting too much time on this decision during their escape attempt.

After ruin has secured himself some pants, and their thankfully cooperative charge had been hauled and bound to a bed by Terra, the trio made for the end of the hall. Another door breached, and they were in the armory and storage room.
Terra recognized her bag, Pokeballs still inside, things were in disorder but nothing was missing. They had gone through her things!
(A perception check to search for useful things in here.)
