"This wasn't the deal Danko!" Noah spat. "You want me dead, so get it over with!"
"NO!" Danko shouted back, which startled Ollie awake. "I call the shots, I'm the one that's in control, Simon pull the trigger."
"No...I..no...don't.." Simon stammered over his words, not taking the gun.
"Simon," Danko warned and Simon shook his head. "I'll let Ollie have first turn then."
"No!" Simon shouted. "I'll do it, I'll do it!" He said as he took the gun shakily from him. He stared at the gun, not knowing what to do, stalling as long as possible.
"Put it to your head." Danko instructed and Simon did, shakily, while sputtering out tears as the rest looked on horrified.
Claire squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the room go silent and she felt her own heartbeat pound through her ears. Someone had to stop this. She prayed Gabriel would burst through the door any moment and be the hero. It was only wishful thinking however.
"Danko stop it!" Noah tried again.
Danko choose to ignore him. "Go on Simon, pull the trigger."
Peter was starting to struggle against his binds as he could see Ollie becoming more alert, looking around him, starting to search his unfamiliar surroundings. If he had noticed his family were here, then he would start to cry. Peter was sure of that.
"No, I don't want to play." Simon said lowering the gun and Danko snatched the gun from him.
"Fine, I'll do it myself!" Danko screamed, and the words of protests coming from everyone didn't stop him, where he pulled the trigger.
The small click echoed for everyone, as they held their breaths, until Ollie interuppted them all, starting to cry as he recognised his family before him.
Simon fell to the floor in a flood of tears and Danko looked on and laughed at his pathetic assistant.
"Who's next?"
Steve was not going anywhere fast, Gabriel thought as he finished tying him to the chair. He was out cold, and would be for a few hours at least. Gabriel touched his hand and then forced himself to shape shift into the man before him. He forgot how much it could hurt, as he felt his cells and DNA change his appearance, and he looked over to the mirror. It was bang on, and hopefully Danko wouldn't know the difference.
He pulled out Steve's cell phone, and dialled the last call made. It rang a few times before Danko picked up at the other end.
"Boss, it's Sylar! He left! I think he saw me," He whimpered over the phone, knowing Steve's fear of Danko. "He might be coming to you now, he was flying!" He heard Danko curse and swear over the phone, but also heard the cries of a toddler which pulled at his heart.
"Yes boss!" He said, "I'll come right away!"
With that he hung up the phone and didn't hesitate to fly out the already broken window into the morning sky.
Danko slammed his cellphone down on the table and cursed, grabbing Ollie and walking away, with the gun in hand.
"Ollie!" Claire screamed, and struggled against the rope as the started to rip through her skin. "Bring him back!"
"Claire, calm down!" Peter said as he kept trying to free himself of the bonds. He cursed himself for not taking a power that would work in this situation. He still had Emma's power, which in this case was pretty useless.
"Sylar has messed this up for us, he's on his way." Noah grumbled. "It's on his head if anything happens to my grandson!"
Peter could feel rage building up inside him for Noah's dislike towards Gabriel, knowing that it wasn't just him that was related to Ollie. They all were, and were all worried about his heath and well-being, but he also cursed Gabriel for not staying put.
Steve, Gabriel, got to the warehouse in no time at all, where all was quiet. He hid in the shadows, the best place for him. He would have to kill some time to make Danko believe this really was Steve. He looked around, getting familiar with the location when he saw a familiar body lying on the ground a few feet away. He looked around seeing no one else, and pulled Matt over, with an invisible force.
He stripped him of the device that was holding back his powers and shook him awake. "Matt, come on, wake up!"
Matt blinked a few times but all was blurry. He didn't recognise the voice that was talking to him.
"Matt, it's me, Gabriel." Gabriel said to him, sitting him up.
Matt's vision came back after a few seconds, but that was not Gabriel he was looking at, it was someone else. "Who are you?" He asked, backing away.
"It's me Matt, Gabriel. I've shape shifted into one of Danko's accomplice." Gabriel said. "Probe my mind if you need to."
And Matt did that right away, and shot a look back up to him quickly. "Oh shit," Gabriel said.
"Oh shit indeed." Matt said, uncovering a truth that Claire obviously kept well hidden in the back of her mind. "He's your child."
Peter screamed in pain as he finally got his hands free fro the rope, but the marks on his hands and wrists were bleeding non stop as the rope burned opened up his flesh, badly tearing the skin. He moved to untie his feet, cursing at the pain that came with it and moved onto Claire's ropes next.
As soon as Claire was free she walked right over to Simon and kicked the man, "You son of a bitch! How could you?"
"Claire, leave him!" Peter shouted, "We'll sort him out later, come help me."
She looked back down at the quivering man. "This is not over!"
Noah was free in seconds as they wasted no time in moving towards the door. "Come on!" Noah said and Claire halted him.
"Wait, we have no weapons." Claire said, "I need to do this on my own, I don't want anyone getting hurt."
"Claire, we're coming whether you like it or not." Peter said, and Noah nodded his head in agreement, running past her in the direction Danko did and the two followed.
"Where is he?" Claire asked, looking at the size of the warehouse and the many different rooms there were.
"If Sylar is coming, then he better make it fast." Noah said, and both Claire and Peter had to hold their tongue, both wanting to scream at him that his name was Gabriel.
"I'm going in, pretending to be Steve." Gabriel said, looking to Matt, "I can like, rough you up a bit, and pretend you managed to get free."
"That won't work, no body can wake from those drugs unless someone pulls them out" Matt said, sounded defeated.
"The drugs didn't affect me." Gabriel said and Matt rolled his eyes.
"That's you." Matt argued. "You can seem to do anything."
"True," Gabriel said, and looked around for answers. "I'll put that mask back on you, but with no drugs. Say I found you outside. Act like a dumb ass."
Matt smiled at him, "That might work. You do look like a dumb ass."
Gabriel made his way into the warehouse, being able to locate Danko's secret hideaway within the building thanks to information from Steve. He dragged Matt along with him, and Matt played the unconscious man a little too well for Gabriel's liking.
"No offence, but you're slowing me down." He gritted through his teeth.
"We have to play it realistically." Matt argued, not making it any easier, but they both eventually made it to a door which Gabriel opened, using his hands.
Danko pointed a gun at him straight away, when he entered and he dropped Matt, looking at Danko.
"What did you bring him in for?" Danko spat.
"Sylar might have saw him, and let him go free." Steve said to his boss, which Gabriel found hard to do. He wanted to rip his head off, but he had Ollie in his hands and was scared he would hurt him.
"Kill him," Danko said, and Steve looked up to him. Shit. Now what?
Hope everyone is liking the story, few more chapters and it should be done. Hoping to move onto a new story soon.
