Summary
The Class 1A students, along with some of their teachers, are brought to a room by a strange being who has made a deal with them. They will be given information about various secrets and future events, which they could use to save lives, but this information comes at a cost. Every time the 'on screen' version of them experiences pain, they must feel it too.
There's no such thing as a painless lesson after all.

Summary
"If there’s one thing J. Daniel Atlas can say about himself it’s that he’s good at control. Anything else can be taken away from you; you’re good at magic? Here’s someone who’s better. You think you’re smart? Someone smarter. You think you’re hot, clever, athletic - all of that can be taken away from you.
To be powerful is to control appearances and Daniel is so sick of being powerless."
---
Daniel's control issues were always going to catch up to him, but maybe something good can come out of it.

Summary
Maybe this isn’t the awful thing it feels like. Perhaps whatever lingers in his blood that overrides his control is something intended to help, to make him better.
The thought doesn’t alleviate any of the terror that still swirls behind his ribcage, threatens to spill over and sink its icy teeth into his bones — but it’s something he clings to, nonetheless. He’ll figure it out, and stop it, and in the meantime it could be a good thing. He hasn’t figured out how to apologise, yet — but the logical first step would be to keep them happy, make sure he stays in their good graces and doesn’t do anything to further aggravate them.
He doesn’t like the idea, but if this — thing, this compulsion helps to make him more palatable, more tolerable and easier to be around, perhaps he’ll be allowed to stay long enough to make it up to them. He might be able to turn it into a good thing before he finds out how to end it, before it wears off. He’ll just wait it out.
—
J. Daniel Atlas ends up cursed, he thinks. It takes a while for the others to notice. In the meantime, he tries to stay sane. It's surprisingly difficult when your mind isn't your own, anymore.

Summary
“Battery. Battery, uh—holding-thingy. Wiring was bad. Container blew up when I took the battery out. S’not the battery. No electric–electro—shut-down-everything bomb. Battery’s okay.” There’s another rustle, the sound of pockets being patted, and a sigh of relief. “Kinda smushed, but okay.”
“Are you okay?” Christ, did he think he meant the damage to the battery? He’s got contingencies if they aren’t able to take it, plans to make sure it ends up out of Advantage’s hands even if all they end up with are blueprints and schematics. The con is plenty salvageable without the battery he sent him to steal. The team sure as hell won’t be if Jack dies from a brain bleed or a bomb.
“M’fine. Blew up.”
“He has a concussion,” Daniel says flatly, and Dylan sighs, scrubbing a hand across his face. He’s starting to put that together himself.
“Do not,” Jack says, perfectly indignant. “The—it blew up. And it pushed me. Into the wall.”
...
Jack gets a concussion when a heist goes wrong. Dylan thinks he's getting a headache, too. Everyone else is just along for the ride.
