Chapter 6

Clark woke up in the same place he had fallen. He felt more alert than before. He was sick and tired of being knocked unconscious. If he ever got out of here, he was going to stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. Well, at least a month. However, the chances of getting out of his room looked grim let alone the compound. He heard a click behind him and turned to the door. Lionel was standing in the doorway.

"Are you ready to begin?" he asked.

There was nothing he could say. His mouth had gone dry and he merely nodded. Then Lionel brought out a gun and pointed it at him. Clark panicked. In his weakened state, there was no way he would survive. The gunshot rang in his ear and everything slowed. "Wait" he thought. This wasn't just the shocked kind of slowed. This was his super speed. The realisation hit him with great excitement, as he knew he had a chance. He dodged the bullet and sped towards the door. Just before he was out of it, a meteor rock barrier knocked him to the floor. The vibrations ricocheted of him in waves and he winced in pain. Lionel spun around quickly.

"That was a wonderful display of your speed Mr Kent. Pity you didn't anticipate a back up. You won't be getting out of here that easily."

Kyle, Grianne and a group of 5 others continued down the hall. The group consisted of all those he had freed. The first was Eric Summers, a boy who had lost his powers long ago, but whom Clark had helped. He had insisted in coming along to do what he could. The next was a girl who appeared to have visions of events in her own future whose name was Jenny. The third was a mutated boy with aspects of a bird. He could see extremely far ahead, could react with quick movements and could move swiftly, without being noticed. The final two were twins who could Apparate from the place where one was to the place of the other. Together, they had avoided any confrontations. They were searching in vein for the place where Clark was being held. Each one had agreed to help, so grateful for a chance at escaping that they had felt they owed him their help. So far nothing had been found. It seemed they were the only ones in the building still alive. It sickened Kyle to look into one window and find a dead girl of only 16, lying on a table. They were even experimenting on the dead. Not even they had found peace. They rounded corner after corner until, finally, they came across a guarded room.

"Leave it to me," said Grianne. She approached the guards without fear. "You may leave your posts, I need you to check on the others upstairs, get them some coffee or something," she told them.

"Yes sir, Lionel sir," they replied, obediently scurrying away.

The others hurried towards the door.

"That's some gift you've got there," said the first twin.

"Yeah, but go get coffee? That excuse did kind of suck."

They both fell about laughing and the others slowly joined in. Laughing was contagious, even in the despair that they had found in here. However, they're laughter didn't last long.
