What do you do?

Find out how bad your situation is

You point at the police officer assigned to guard you. "You, what do you know about me?"

"Not much. They say you're some vigilante from New York called The Ringer. They don't tell me much, I'm just supposed to watch over you until you wake up and then go get them."

"Who?"

"The Secret Service. There's 2 agents downstairs."

"Go get them, tell them I'm awake," you command the officer. You then turn to the doctor and nurse, "You two end your shifts and go straight home and sleep until the next day. When you wake up tomorrow, you won't remember what happened today. Go."

All 3 of them leave your hospital room with their instructions and you sit up in the bed. About 5 minutes later, the officer returns with 2 stern looking Secret Service agents, both wearing cheap black suits and ugly ties. Standard government agent attire. One of the men notices that you're uncuffed and moves to draw his gun, but your mind control ring is already activated and faster than he can react as you command them to both stand down and listen while you dismiss the officer and make him stand guard outside.

"What are your names?" you ask the 2 agents.

"Agent Roger Stevens."

"Agent Max Wells."

Both are dark haired with chiseled jaws and could even pass for brothers.

"What do you know about me? Why am I being held?" you ask.

Agent Stevens answers. "You're John Colins from New York, otherwise known as The Ringer. You're being held in custody in suspicion of conspiring to **** the vice president."

"What?!?" you exclaim, astonished at how wrong they are. "I had nothing to do with the shooting! I helped to catch the guy! What did he say?"

"He's refusing to talk," Agent Wells says.

"What happens if I run or disappear?" you ask.

"The entire government will be looking for you," Agent Stevens says as a matter of factly.

"Shit. That's not good. Even if I wiped your memories, there are probably a lot of people who know about me already, huh?"

The question seems to confuse both agents and it takes a while for Agent Wells to respond. "Even if you could wipe our memories, numerous officers and agents already know about you and details have already been distributed to the FBI, the vice president, and the president. You're on every watchlist."

"Shit!" you curse out loud. Then, you order one of them to strip off his clothes so that you can put them on. The suit is a little too big for you, but it'll do for now. Then, leaving the agents as they are, you teleport back to the mansion.

You appear in your bedroom and instantly almost yelp in surprise as you appear behind some guy going through your stuff. You cover your mouth and quickly activate your invisibility ring, just as the guy turns around, puzzled. He's wearing an FBI windbreaker, the kind you see in movies, and white gloves. You hear noises outside the room and you venture out, seeing that he's not the only one. The mansion is swarming with agents and you see Olivia, Elena, Jane, and Melanie being questioned in the den by multiple agents. They all look terrified, but there's nothing you can do for them now. You can barely save your own skin.

Still invisible, you teleport to your parents' home, where you're greeted by a similar sight. Agents tearing the house apart and questioning your parents and sister. You listen in for a bit, hearing that they are shocked that the authorities think you're The Ringer, and they deny that you could have tried to kill the vice president. Nonetheless, the agents aren't convinced and you look on quietly at your family, feeling sorry about what you're putting them through. You wish there was a way for you to clean up this entire mess, but you just can't think of a good solution.

No, you decide. The best way you can help them or the girls back at the mansion is to disappear. So, you do.

What's next?
