Different powers 3
Silence filled the room, no one knowing the right moment to talk. The Room was full of an uneasy feeling, making them all shift about, uncomfy to strike up a conversation.
Brennan sat string out the window, not wanting any unwanted guests to surprise them again.
Adam had declined him self to sitting next to him, but staring at the plants out side the window, that lay just on the rim of it.
"So what do we do then…"
The question made every one turn and nestle into a locked position of looking at him. Just to make sure they would be able to see him when he talked any more.
Adam turned to him, "…we could just have the rest of our vacation…I mean that is why we came here, isn't it".
They all nodded, Jesse resting his head on his folded arms, leaning on the back of the couch.
Shalimar was sitting on the arm of the couch, arm slung over the back to keep her balance.
Emma was leaning over the other arm, also gripping the edge of the couch, all of them resting.
Brennan stood up, sighing and straightening his shirt out. " That would be best, we shouldn't all be sitting here waiting for a disaster".
With in seconds, a disaster started to knock on their door. Brennan looked towards Adam and saw him rise, back straight, shoulder's tense. Adam knew some thing was going to go bad.
Adam gripped the handle of the door, and opened it friendly. " Yes".
There stood a man, brown hair with died out dark blond in it. His hair was curled lazily and hung long past his chin. His eyes blue and misty like he'd suffered some big loss, in life or game.
When he looked at Adam, he also saw Brennan and Jesse standing behind him, showing they were there and ready for any danger.
" Hello, I believe you had a visit from my son…"
Adam nodded, " I wasn't here. What is it that you're looking for"? Adam felt his mind already going to work. Searching the man for any danger he may carry or bring to mind.
" Yes, all I want to know is why my son came here".
He smiled and Brennan instantly felt a cold shock fly up his spine. Some thing about that smile made him get goose bumps, and screamed to him…he wanted some thing else.
Adam smiled friendly again, " we can't give you that, besides…shouldn't it be your son who you talk to". The man's smiled dropped, as did his head; he looked to his left towards his car. " And why is that…. may I ask".
Adam stood his ground, " Well father and son usual talk to each other".
" Were not talking at the moment so if you could give me some insight on what my son wanted, I will gladly repay you back".
Adam shook his head half laughing, " Is that a bribe". The man looked back towards them, "No…just a friendly offering. Besides isn't it a father's right to know what his son gets up to".
Brennan spoke up, feeling a bit angry and said it that way. " Not always"
This drew the man to look at him, " Did you talk to my son"? Brennan remained quiet until he felt he wanted to talk. " Your son came here and he wasn't welcome…so we didn't get a chance to talk".
The man instantly wanted to start laughing, " I highly doubt that, when my son wants some thing, he drives for it…" he looked to Adam, " you know what son's are like…well, I best be off before I course any trouble".
Adam nodded, not wanting the man there any longer than Jesse or Brennan did. Especially Brennan.
When the man left he made sure to take one last look towards the house before zooming away in his fancy car. It was nothing like Lex's car, but just as expensive.
Adam shut the door and turned to Brennan. " What is wrong Brennan?"
Brennan folded his arms, " Lets just say there is a reason why he and his father aren't talking".
With that Brennan walked up the stairs and to his room, leaving Jesse to question Adam.
2 hours later.
Brennan slowly walked down the stairs, trying not to make too much noise. It was just turning dark and he wanted some answers.
He went to the door, opened it and slipped out unnoticed by any normal eyes. He only hope Shal wouldn't be able to see him, hoped she'd lost her feral side for one reason…so she wouldn't see him in the dark.
He got his bike, popped some dark stylish glasses on to hide his glowing eyes and pushed his bike away. He couldn't start it up there, it would get their attention and then he could kiss goodbye to the answers he would get.
He soon got far enough away, not really tired since his feral side was doing all the work. He smiled to him self, feeling a shiver of uplift form one of his talents.
He started the bike and drove off into town.
He gently pulled up out side a bar and walked in. As soon as he entered, the people sitting at the bar all turned to look. He brushed off the feeling and walked to the bartender.
He was cleaning a glass, like in the movies, waiting for another customer.
He set a glass down and Brennan ordered a vodka and coke. He knew he wouldn't be going back drunk, at least not if he could help it
To his surprise, Lax suddenly pulled up the empty seat next to him, ordering a scotch. As he was waiting he turned and looked at Brennan, smiled and paid the bartender like he did.
He lifted his drink to his mouth and started to drink his drink. After he was finished with his sip, he placed it back down, not looking at Brennan as he spoke.
"I heard my father paid you a visit…". Brennan wasn't surprised, this guy always had some way of knowing things and didn't really care.
" Ye, he did".
" Well…what did he want"? He lifted his drink and started to drink it again. Brennan instantly thought he had a habit of drinking, since he had no problem downing a drink in 2 minutes.
Lex turned to him in his sudden silence. " Are you going to tell me…"
Brennan turned to him and shrugged, " well I don't know, word always gets round to you doesn't it". He finished his drink, not ordering another one.
" You don't really need me to tell you, you seem to know things before people them selves do".
Lex dropped his head a bit, smiling at what he'd said. " I don't deny I get information that I need-" " So you need to know about me and my friends then…why, why the hell do you. Our lives have got nothing to do with you".
He got up, retrieved his jacket and started to leave.
" No please don't. I didn't mean to upset you, but just sit down…think about this". Lex had his hands in front of him, standing in Brennan's way. Brennan instantly felt the feral part start to rise at Lex's demand.
Brennan thought to him self, Lex…if you knew what I was…and how hard it is to not hurt you…. you wouldn't be doing that right now. But he didn't say it…no.
Lex stepped back offering a seat right next to him. But Brennan went to walk out again, and again Lex stepped in front of him.
" All I want is answers Brennan".
Brennan gripped his hands together and scrunched his eyes shut, "Lex, not now. Any squabbling between you and your father is between you two. Not us…so don't come round any more".
Lex was quiet, thinking of a way to counter it no doubt. Brennan side stepped him and walked to the door.
" You will call if any thing comes up…"
Brennan holt-ed. He could hear the plea in his voice and the image of him as a boy (teenager) flashed in front of his eyes. He looked back at Lex, and his mind was trying to pull at the answers again.
He sighed before turning to Lex, " Your father only wanted to know what you were up to…why you come round so often".
Lex nodded and lifted his hand to his mouth, as if wiping something away, " He was spying on me…I thought he was…. Brennan. Would it be ok to come round-"
Brennan was about to protest but Lex stopped him, " Only to talk with you, to help sort things out and maybe eventually, no one will come round".
Brennan sighed, waiting for a second. " Fine, but you don't bother any of my friends when there out…I'll give you a call when you can come".
Lex instantly felt his fire lift higher, " Thank…"
Brennan went to the door and left returning to the house. He did exactly what he did before he left and went to his room.
He sat glaring out the window, the night had only just begun and already he could feel the feral growing more anxious to be rid of them all.
A sudden flash of Lex made Brennan sit up straight and the vision showed Lex calling to some one, screaming it. But he was around 21…like he was now, he was young.
Brennan pondered and another vision ripped through every though. He gripped his head and his back arched, making him grip the chairs arms with such strength he was surprised he didn't snap them in half.
And it was like he was in the vision.
Lex was shouting, pointing to some thing. They were both inside his house. Fancy furniture, expensive things cluttered the place. On the table lay a phone and Lex would have been still sitting on the couch if he hadn't stood up and started to shout. Brennan turned and saw 3 small vans like cars pull up. Men instantly started to pour out of it and towards him.
Lex must have walked around him and was shouting at the men, the door had already been burst into, Brennan tried to read his lips.
"Get out of my house!…my father has no right to do this. I said leave".
Brennan got another image of Lex, being dragged out his home by the men. He looked back towards him and then to the phone. Brennan looked down at it and looked back.
The men started to tear his place apart, looking for some thing. All were suited up in heavy armour and one picked up pieces of paper near the computer on the far left of the door.
He nodded to his friends and they all walked out the door, closing it behind them.
Brennan felt a hand grip his right arm and suddenly, he was back in his room. Sweat, slowly, falling down the right side of his face, and he was panting, hand gripped so tight to the chair it hurt.
Shock struck him and left him feeling weak. He couldn't move, with the feeling of it all, he knew in his gut, it wasn't a dream. No…no dream.
He almost wanted to start crying in him mind, when he realised what it was.
Another vision…Damit!
Brennan looked at her now, she had pulled him out of it.
" Brennan….Brennan are you ok". He nodded his head, pushing gently on her shoulder to go. "I'm fine Shal…"
She smiled, " Well I'm not, can I stay in here". She almost seemed too cautious to ask. Brennan smiled, "Of course you can". They both got to bed, wrapped in each other's arms.
Shalimar sighed and thought to herself, Finally, no Jesse or Adam or Emma to interrupt them.
Brennan laid his head down, body finally able to relax with her. And slowly realisation hit him and his body tensed like a brick.
Flash back
" All I want is answers Brennan"
End of flash back
Brennan felt the cold sweat start to trickle down his face. Lex had said it once and he was about to say it now.
How did he know my name
