A/N – Usual disclaimers apply, I do not own anything and if I did then M7 and Sentinel would still be going.
Chris shows more of what he is capable of. And I hopefully have gotten over the writers block on the story and I can update again fairly quickly all dependent on real life not going mad.
Please review or make suggestions as they make me want to write more
Sentinel Legend Part 2:
Chris glared at the Alpha Sentinel, he was in no mood to be denied what he wanted, but for the sake of not causing another challenge fight he would keep a hold of his temper.
"I need you to give permission for Guide Dunne's records here to be released to me." Chris calmly asked.
Buck shut his mouth as his jaw dropped, he had expected his friend to demand Bryce's cooperation, but the blonde surprised him.
"Why?" The Alpha Sentinel of Boston asked.
"I want to see what the Sentinel and Guide Foundation did to help my guide." Chris replied.
"I must protest we did everything possible to help Guide Dunne." Charlotte Richmond was worried that she would get in trouble for her care of the young guide. "I resent the implication that somehow the SGF is at fault for how delicate Guide Dunne is."
Buck growled he took a step towards the indignant woman; she paled but stubbornly stayed where she was.
"Buck." Chris snapped, he turned his attention to the SGF woman. "Watch what you say woman."
"Alpha Bryce I must protest, these Sentinel's have no right to anything here in your city." Charlotte appealed to the resident Alpha Sentinel; she knew that Bryce was an arrogant and confident Sentinel who would not allow visiting sentinels to dictate to him. "Sentinel Larabee has not been recognised as Guide Dunne's Sentinel."
Chris snarled how dare this woman deny him, to question his legitimacy of leading his pack.
Buck could see that they now had an audience, the whole SGF building seem to hold its breath at the woman's words, they heard the growl of pure rage from his Alpha, the man's green eyes seemed to be spitting fire at the now trembling woman.
"You dare deny my right?" Chris voice was sharp; he took a step closer to the SGF representative. "JD is mine, mine to protect, mine to lead, mine."
Buck placed a hand on the growling man's shoulder, he pushed feelings of calm at his Alpha, and it would not be good if Chris ripped apart the mundane woman even if she provoked him.
"Larabee till the Sentinel and Guide Foundation acknowledge your claim I can't help you." Alpha Sentinel Walter Bryce could barely keep his pleasure at denying the man from his voice. "Is that all you wanted?"
Sentinel Dwayne Hicks could not believe the stupidity of his Alpha, the man was insane to go up against the man they all thought to be the powerful Dark Sentinel, his actions could only result in pain and embarrassment for him, and Hicks dreaded having to support him in this folly. He could tell that the two other sentinel and guide pairs that had accompanied them also were shocked by the Alpha's words they exchanged worried glances.
Buck let out a bark of laughter, surely the Boston Alpha was not serious, it was not as if Chris was asking for anything dangerous, he just wanted JD records so that he could prove that the woman had done little to help the young guide, in fact when Buck net spoke to JD he would find out exactly what the woman had done, because the younger man's response to her presence indicated a fear and loathing that needed to be explained.
"My pack does not need validation from the Sentinel and Guide Foundation." Chris shot back.
Buck had expected an explosion, he fully expected Chris to rip the arrogant Boston Alpha apart for not offering his assistance especially with what had happened with Dr Rostron.
"You don't have an official pack then." Bryce was sick and tired of everyone thinking this man was so special, so what if he had won two challenge fights, and somehow he had managed to tap into Bryce's prides consciousness and shown them the evil the doctor was doing.
Hicks wanted the floor to open up and swallow him, his Alpha was being deliberately confrontational, Larabee's request was reasonable, but Alpha Sentinel Bryce seemed determined to enrage the powerful Alpha. He could literally hear a pin drop, everyone sentinel, guide and mundane were waiting to see how Larabee would react.
"Is that your final decision Sentinel Bryce?" Chris noted the man bristle because he did not call him Alpha.
"Yes, I'm done here." Bryce folded his arms across his chest.
Chris moved so that he was almost toe to toe with the Alpha Sentinel.
"Do you want to reconsider?" Chris quietly asked.
Bryce managed not to back up when the smaller sentinel approached him, he glared at the man.
"No." Bryce snapped, and then blinked when the man smiled.
"Really." Chris did not want to be forced into another challenge fight, so he wanted to see if he could use the Dark Sentinel power to make the other Alpha submit to his wishes. Dropping his shields he began to growl sub vocally as he attacked the stubborn looking sentinel's shields carving through them like butter he allowed the man to feel a small taste of the power he possessed.
Bryce was shocked he felt the sentinel breach his shields; he blanched when the man began to exert his power, he fought to try and throw him out, and the man's smile grew larger. Sweat began to gather on Bryce forehead, he did not want to submit to the lean blond, he heard himself let out a small whimper, he tilted his head baring his throat, Bryce noted that every gifted person watching had also tilted their heads baring their throats in a show of respect to the Dark Sentinel, the only one not affected was Wilmington. Bryce also noted that the mundanes where also baring their throats picking up on the actions of the sentinels and guides present, even the woman who had caused the problem was showing her respect.
Buck moved to stand beside his friend, he gently touched the lean back, and he wanted to ground Chris in case he pushed himself into a zone, he could feel the powerful presence of the Dark Sentinel, and he smiled when he noted that all present showed their acknowledgement of the power and authority that Chris commanded.
Sentinel Dwayne Hicks could not believe how powerful one man was, he had been in the presence of strong sentinels and guides before but this man made them all seem weak and pitiful in comparison. Hicks understood that Larabee was doing this so that he would not have to fight his Alpha, he just hoped that Bryce understood that and changed his mind about helping the visiting Alpha before the man had to dominate him in the tradition challenge fight scenario.
Chris pulled back from Bryce, he waited for the other sentinel to raise his head and look him in the eye, he hoped that the Boston Alpha Sentinel got the message as he would challenge him if Bryce refused to assist him like he had requested.
"Well?" Chris asked the other Alpha.
"You will give Alpha Sentinel Larabee the information he has requested right now." Alpha Sentinel Walter Bryce growled at the stunned looking woman. "You will not question his right to access to anything relating to Guide John Daniel Dunne again."
"But." Charlotte began to protest.
"Am I clear?" Bryce snarled at the stunned looking woman.
"Of course Alpha Bryce." Charlotte Richmond realised that their would be no hiding what had happened now.
"Is their anything else you require Alpha Larabee?" Bryce wanted to make sure that he had no reason to further upset the powerful Alpha, he got the impression that Larabee would issue challenge if he got in his way again, and Bryce was no longer confident that he would win even given the weakened state of the pale man stood in front of him.
"Not at this time thank you Alpha Bryce." Chris nodded at the man; he then turned his attention to the woman who had tried to stop him from finding out the truth. "Guide Dunne's record, I would like to see them now."
"Certainly Alpha Larabee." Charlotte led the men back to her office. She headed straight to her desk and made a quick phone call to the administration department who looked after the records of all the sentinels and guides that studied at the university.
A knock sounded on the door, and a young guide entered, she carried a large file which she handed over to the waiting Richmond.
"Here is a paper copy of Guide Dunne's file as well as an electronic copy." Charlotte wondered what the sentinel would do once he read about how the young man had been treated, she had been hard on the guide but she had acted the way she had to toughen him up, she had not expected what had happened to Dunne to occur so she should not be blamed because of the actions of a deranged doctor.
"Fine, I'm sure once we have reviewed the SGF actions regarding JD, I'm sure we'll be back." Buck gave the woman a polite nod as he picked up the file, he dreaded what he would find it contained.
"I can drive you back to the penthouse Alpha Larabee, Alpha Wilmington." Dwayne Hicks had been tasked with escorting the two men back; he had been listening to the buzz of conversation around the building as people learnt of what had occurred between his Alpha and the green eyed sentinel.
Chris gave the younger man a small smile; he wanted to get back to JD to make sure the young guide was alright, he hoped that the others had managed to comfort him.
Buck looked at his friend as they travelled up in the elevator, Chris was leaning against the side of the car, and the man looked pale and tired. Buck wondered if he could maybe persuade the still injured and sick man to take a nap. Knowing Chris though he would probably want to go through JD's file and find out what had happened to the younger man.
"You alright Chris?" Buck had to ask.
"I'm fine Buck." Chris could tell that Buck did not believe him, he shrugged his shoulders, he was tired but he wanted to make sure his pack was ok before he did anything.
"I'm tired how about you?" Buck was persistent Chris had to hand it to the moustached man.
"I'm fine Buck." Chris scowled as Buck yawned, and everybody new that yawning was catching as he felt his jaw crack and his eyes water as he copied the larger man.
Buck sniggered as Chris yawned again, he grunted as the other man elbowed him good naturedly.
The two men entered the penthouse suite, they noted that both JD and Nathan where missing from the group sat around talking quietly in the large seating area which dominated the room.
"Where's JD?" Chris asked as soon as he got through the door, he widened his senses locating the young guide in the bedroom, he could hear the slow steady breathing the younger man was doing, his heartbeat reassuringly loud in his ears.
"He's sleeping." Josiah did not mention that Nathan had had to sedate JD because he had gotten so distraught that none of them could calm him. "Nathan's with him."
"I'm going to check on them." Chris headed to the bedroom, Nathan's eyes opened as soon as the blond entered the darkened room.
"Hey Chris." Nathan quietly greeted the watching man.
Chris frowned when JD whimpered in his sleep, he moved to sit on the bed running his hand over the thick hair, he could smell the medication in the smaller man's system, and he looked at Nathan.
"I had to sedate him." Nathan saw the man nod, he thought Chris looked like hell; maybe he could get the sentinel to keep JD company and maybe get some sleep himself. "I need a drink maybe you can keep him company Alpha."
"Alright Nathan." Chris leant over and sniffed at the dark skinned healer's throat.
Nathan quietly left the room, he headed straight over to his sentinel who pulled him onto the couch next to him.
"What's that?" Nathan indicated the large pile of papers that Buck was holding.
"JD's file from the MIT Sentinel and Guide Foundation, Chris had them make a copy so that he can see what they did for him while he was there after his mom died." Buck took out the memory stick which held the electronic copy of the file he held. "And we have an electronic copy too."
"May I?" Ezra has a laptop on his knee; he holds his hand out for the device.
"Sure Ez." Buck grins as the southerner glares at him, he hears Vin snigger from his seat beside the dapper guide.
"There are some video files on this." Ezra advises the men, he finds himself suddenly surrounded by the other men.
"Play them then." Vin orders his guide. The men watch in silence as the see JD almost crying as he begs to be helped deal with the bullies he has encounters, they listen in growing horror as he pleads to be moved into the specialist housing normally available to sentinels and guides.
"That bitch." Buck snarled he could not believe that JD had essentially been told to toughen up, and to expect some hazing. Buck dreaded Chris seeing what that woman Charlotte Richmond had done, she had made JD's life a living hell, not giving him the support he needed and dismissing his repeated requests for help.
"Chris is going to blow a gasket when he finds out what went on." Nathan could not believe the callous neglect that JD had been subjected to.
"How can this have happened?" Josiah was horrified by what he had seen; he wanted to see the guilty parties punished for their actions.
Chris lay on his back next to JD, he smiled as the younger man snuggled against him, the dark head coming to rest on his shoulder, he yawned again, and maybe he would just close his eyes until Nathan got back.
Vin listened as the tired man succumbed to sleep, he could still hear the congestion that Chris had yet to get rid of, he was glad that Chris was getting some rest; the man had looked tired and pale when he and Buck had returned from campus.
Buck filled the others in on what had happened with both the Richmond woman and with the Boston Alpha.
"How can he force an Alpha to submit like that?" Nathan asked the question aloud.
"I've seen Alpha's with powerful personalities before but this was something else." Buck could not keep the pride from his voice when he thought of his friend. "Chris literally forced Bryce to submit without laying a single finger on him, and then the whole building showed that he was the most powerful Sentinel there."
"I would have loved to have been there." Josiah wrapped his arm around his guide. "Our Alpha's power is something to behold."
"Cowboy's asleep with JD." Vin informed them.
"Good." Buck had actually expected Chris to want to examine JD's file after he had checked that the young guide was alright.
The men continued to read the file that they had been supplied with, each man becoming enraged at the actions of the SGF housed at the university.
Nathan decided to check on the two sleeping men, he quietly let himself into the room; he placed his hand on JD's head, and was happy when he remained relaxed and asleep. Moving his hand onto the sentinel's head he frowned at the heat he found there, he softly called for the long haired sentinel, who appeared silently at the door.
"Can you make up some of Kojay's mixture; Chris has a temperature and let's see if we can bring it down." Nathan smiled down at the green eyes that blinked sleepily at him. "How are you feeling Chris?"
"I'm fine." Chris sighed as the large cool hand remained on his head. He heard Vin enter the room.
"Can you drink this for me Chris?" Nathan moved JD off the blond man's shoulder, chuckling when the sleeping guide sprawled on his back and began to snore.
Vin and Nathan helped the groggy man sit up and Vin handed him the glass, Chris nearly gagged as he drank the strange concoction, it must be one of Kojay's herbal remedies. He sank back onto the bed, he felt the large hand stroking over his head, he felt Nathan link with him, and through the bond he could feel the guide encouraging him to relax and return to sleep. Chris allowed his eyes to close and his breathing to slow as he relaxed and soon he returned to a heavy slumber.
"I'll stay and keep watch over them." Vin sprawled next to the sleeping Larabee, he could hear the others talking and he allowed his mind to wander.
General Alex Barnes looked at the man who was one of the foremost experts in sentinels and guides, he did not like the professor but the man was useful with his vast array of knowledge.
"So Professor have you seen or heard of any sentinel doing what Larabee is reported to have done to the Boston Alpha Sentinel?" General Barnes had never heard of anything like what the two men had been told.
"No General I haven't although some powerful sentinel's and guides are able to project their dominance because of their forceful personalities." Professor Francis could not contain his amazement at Chris's actions. "This is first case I have heard of where a Sentinel has forced submission in such a way, and from the sounds of it Larabee was able to affect a whole building full of gifted."
"My god just think when we have control of Larabee what he could be capable of given the right incentive." General Barnes would have to meet with the man and persuade him to work for him.
"I will go to see him tomorrow to discuss Dunne's academic future and to get him to agree to testing." Professor Francis advised the general.
"Good the sooner the better Professor." General Barnes responded
"I will have to test the rest of his so called pack to cover the fact that we are only really interested in him." Francis wanted to have testing done on all seven men; he wanted to see if being with Larabee had improved the ratings for the remaining six men.
"Excellent idea, maybe we can use some of the others if Larabee will not cooperate."
