Zu takes Ruby to Liam, a Blue, and his friend Charles (Chubs), a Green.


Ruby makes her escape with a mute little girl named Suzume (Zu), a Yellow.

When Ruby gets visions while touching Rob, another League member, she becomes suspicious of their intentions. Cate, a worker at the camp, provides Ruby with a panic button that can be activated as a tracker if she is in danger. Six years later, Ruby is helped to escape her prison by a resistance group known as the Children's League to fight for her future. Children that are Red and Orange are considered too dangerous with their powers and supposed to be killed instantly, but she touches the doctor who is classifying her and puts the thought in his head that she is a Green. Ruby Daly is an Orange, which means she has the psionic ability to get into people's mind. The children are divided into groups: Green (have increased intelligence), Blue ( telekinesis), Yellow (can manipulate electricity), Red (can control fire), and Orange (have telepathy and mind control capabilities). These survivors with superpowers are imprisoned throughout the country.
