Starring…
Clark Kent, the quintessential superhero - good in heart and completely righteous by nature. Clark was raised by a loving family, which is the only reason he wasn't a monster as well. His good nature almost made Bennet throw aside his file, but knowing Kent's inhuman abilities could ultimately destroy mankind. Bennet knew he had to do the morally gray thing, for which he was known.
Davis Bloom, more frighteningly known as Doomsday. He lived a quiet life, working as a paramedic at Metropolis General hiding a secret that would chill the bones of his colleagues if they ever discovered it. Bloom can't control his inner demon and often hurts those around him. Thus he unknowingly caught Bennets' attention - a mistake he would soon regret far more than others.
Chloe Sullivan, once Clark Kent's friend and sidekick, is now tragically under the control of Brainiac, a kryptonian program designed to gather knowledge and dominate any who oppose by manipulating more powerful beings. Shortly after finding Davis Bloom and manipulating his very core, he unleashed the monster to do his bidding. He caught Bennets attention and quickly became the top priority for capture.
Gabriel Gray, commonly referred to as Sylar, wouldn't bring fear into anyone's eyes with his appearance. But his abilities made him one of the fiercest monsters known to mankind. He was a killer, not simply for fun, but for power. Sylar has been the most common target of Bennets' for years, assigned to capture him for Primatech, only to see him released back into the world. Bennet made this capture a matter of vengeance.
Peter Petrelli, quite possibly the most powerful of them all due to his capability of absorbing anyone's power. Although Peter, most known for his compassion and empathy; his infinite potential makes him the most dangerous to the worlds' existence. Petrelli is a walking time-bomb, a fact that Bennet couldn't ignore any longer.
Chapter 1 – Capture
It was a sunny day at the Kent farm, hardly a cloud in sight asClark breezed through his morning routine of grooming and breakfast before making his way to work, at the Daily Planet. Upon arrival, Clark sat at his desk in a fairly decent mood. In between greeting his coworkers, Clark fiddled around on his computer having nothing else to do. While browsing through his inbox, Clark deleted the regular junk mail he received ranging from natural male enhancements to insurance quotes. He noticed he had a new message from an unknown sender. "It would be to both of our interest if you were to help." the subject was titled. Clark clicked on the link out of curiosity - pictures of Chloe Sullivan, Davis Bloom, and two other men Clark didn't recognize, consumed his monitor demanding his attention. Much to Clark's dismay, he realized there were highly detailed files on both his best friend Chloe and her friend Davis, along with a where and when to meet. That time was soon, as if the sender knew Clark's schedule. Clark was unsure of how he should handle this person. He knew killing them was out of the question, it was completely against his nature. Not to mention this person could even know Clark's inhuman secret, or even worse, his weaknesses. Clark wished his father, Jonathan Kent, was still alive he would definitely know what to do. Clark watched the clock, waiting for the meeting to come around, while casually looking busy. It was ten minutes away, when Clark announced to his coworkers, that he was going on his lunch break, not knowing that it could very well be his last day at the Daily Planet.
Clark arrived at the address given to him. After cautiously scanning the surrounding buildings to make sure it wasn't a trap, he decided to enter the only building matching the description from the email. It was a massive warehouse with steel plating covering the windows. 'I wonder if that's to keep anyone from breaking in.' Clark thought to himself, as he approached the steel door he was curious what could be so valuable inside that it needed state-of-the-art reinforcement. He pounded on the door not sure what to expect, but he knew he had to be prepared for anything. A man in horn-rimmed glasses opened the door and gestured for Clark to enter. Upon entering Clark immediately noted the four containment cells located at the corners of the studio warehouse. In the center there were multiple desks with high tech computers, files and other assorted things spread all over. Unease washed over Clark causing him to grow tense as he considered the possibility that this man may not be interested in helping anyone but himself.
"Mr. Kent, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I believe we will accomplish great things," Addressed the man with the horn-rimmed glasses "I don't want to waste your time. So I'll get right to the point. My name is Noah Bennet. I have spent most of my career capturing and detaining some of the most powerful and dangerous people and if you're wondering whether I know your secret or not, I do, and I assure you that your secret is safe with me. The reason I contacted you is because I need your help, as you know, there are far bigger dangers in this world than you and I'd like to use your abilities to capture these extreme threats- "
"So let me get this straight, you want to exploit my power to lock up my friends, and people I don't even know?" Clark interrupted.
"I have no intentions of detaining your friend Chloe. I'm merely interested in her services. Davis Bloom on the other hand, is not who you think he is-"
"And the other two files you sent me? You're 'merely interested in their services' as well?" Clark asked impatiently.
"No, the other two are Peter Petrelli and Gabriel Gray, or as he likes to call himself 'Sylar'. Mr. Petrelli is capable of absorbing anyone's ability around him, after absorbing too many he could potentially combust due to an overload, or even worse, he could become corrupt and unstoppable. Mr. Gray, on the other hand kills people with gifts and takes their abilities, how he does this is still unknown, but he has acquired numerous abilities that make him just as formidable as Mr. Petrelli." Bennet turned and picked up a file labeled Davis Bloom, "Here's everything I have on Davis Bloom. I'll let you see just how dangerous he really is." Clark opened the file filled with pictures of mutilated corpses, entire dumpsters filled with human remains. The sight nearly made him sick to his stomach.
"You're saying Davis Bloom is responsible for all this?" Clark said.
"He covers his tracks well, but we've managed to find his DNA all over each crime scene." Noah reassured.
"So why haven't the police arrested him?" Clark asked skeptically.
"Well the DNA wasn't human, so the police disregarded it as contaminated evidence."
"Wait, wasn't human? I don't understand. How would you know it's his then?"
"I managed to find a few strands of hair in the head rest of his ambulance, just after he entered Metropolis General. I cross-checked the DNA and it was a match. So I decided to tail him for a while, hoping I could catch him in the act. I've seen him kill, Clark, I've also seen him with your friend Chloe. Only, he turned into something else, something monstrous when he was with her. I thought for certain he was going to crush her, but she seemed to calm him, she even seemed aware of his blood thirst." Noah explained, gesturing toward the file. "It's all in there. Here are the rest of my files, feel free to look them over, and then tell me what happens next." Clark grabbed the files thoroughly interested now. He walked over to one of the emptier desks, pulled up a seat and began to find out just how dangerous these other two were.
After hours and hours of reading, Clark wasn't quite convinced. He needed to know what Bennet stood to gain from Chloe. Bennet, sitting at another desk the entire time Clark had been going over the files, noticed Clark was done reading and now wanted to talk. So Bennet told Clark "If there's anything else you need to know, just ask and I'll do my best to answer it."
"Well, as a matter of fact. I'd like to know what exactly your intentions are with Chloe." Clark demanded.
"As you know, Chloe is quite the source of knowledge for the supernatural. I'm also convinced she may be the only one who can calm down Davis Bloom, giving us our only opportunity of capturing him without collateral damage."
"Out of the question," Clark responded furiously, "There's no way I'll put her life at risk for this."
"Her life is at risk every day these people are free to do as they please. We need her to have any chance at capturing Davis Bloom. Unless you know one of his weaknesses, we don't really have a choice." Bennet could see that Clark didn't like to hear the truth, but Clark knew Bennet was right.
"So what do we do now? I'm assuming Davis Bloom is our first priority, which means you probably want me to talk to Chloe." Clark asked, trying to hide just how eager he actually was.
"Is reading minds one of your abilities, because I didn't have that one on file?" Bennet said with a smirk.
Clark smiled "Speaking of which, where's my file? I wouldn't mind reading it."
"It's all up here," Bennet said, as he pointed toward his head."I wouldn't risk anyone finding out about you, Clark." Bennet finished in a sincere tone.
"Why do you care?" Clark asked, still unsure of Bennet's honesty.
"Because I believe you are good, I also believe we have a common interest and if you're going to be working with me, I want your trust."
"Nobody has ever earned my trust overnight, and you're no different." Clark declared.
"I wouldn't expect anything less from Clark Kent," Bennet said as he handed Clark a cell phone "…I think it's time for you to call Chloe."
