Different P 4
Lex
walked around his desk and started to pour the rest of his drink into
the remains of the glass he held. It was feeling loose in his hand
and his sweating palms were not helping the grip one bit.
He slug
the rest of the drink off and quickly to leave the room, he grabbed
his jacket off the back of the chair and exited the room.
He
got to his car, and found a note, tapped to the window. It read:
'
we need to talk…soon. You know who I am…'
Lex sighed as he
ripped the note off the window and climbed into his car. Thoughts
were lingering in his head, and he didn't need them at the
moment.
The car, roared to life, giving him a slight feeling of reality in his hands. He moved the car to his will, taking it to where he knew he would meet him.
Beach
Lex's car
peeled its way into a parking space and he walked the rest of the way
to the beach. When he arrived, his…unknown friend was waiting.
As
Lex walked towards him, he felt a slight tension in the air, but knew
entirely it wasn't towards him. He looked terrible; sweat dribbling
down his face, seeming tense and tired.
"…Brennan…"
Brennan
turned around, almost allowing the feeling of relief to sweep across
his face and replace the fear of what was about to happen.
"
Lex…I guess you got the note".
Lex nodded, " Well it was a
little hard to not to miss a note on my car window…what did you
want to talk".
Brennan walked towards him, hands lifting to
emphasise his point, " Its about your dad Lex…he's going to rat
you out".
Lex's face dropped and he stepped closer to Brennan,
" How do you know this".
" Because…just trust me, I
know".
Lex hesitated, "…so…why such the change in
attitude. You get board of not giving information to some one who
always gets it any way".
Brennan shuck his head, " You wont
find out…I'm only telling you because I know you can do some
thing about it…about what's going to happen".
Lex was getting his vibe, that some thing was happening there that he couldn't quiet grasp. "Brennan, what's going on?"
Brennan
sighed, " Have you been studying us?"
Lex's mind hit a brick
wall, no way in hell, Brennan could never have figured that out He
tried not to seem shocked…but his silence spoke for its
self.
Brennan nodded, " Ok, you need to go some where for a
couple of days, some where, were your father can't find you…and
then we'll talk".
Brennan turned and started to walk away,
a dull migraine was fizzing in his mind and he knew Lex was bringing
it on.
Lex stumbled towards Brennan grabbing his arm, " Wait…how
do you know this".
Brennan quickly ragged his arm away…but
he knew it was too late. The migraine felt like it was slamming
against his forehead, like a horse trying to kick its door down.
He
stumbled trying to get his footing.
Lex gripped his arm again and
Brennan felt an instant shock. His arm first went numb, and then it
felt like Lex had sent a jolt of energy up his arm. But he didn't,
and Brennan felt his body suddenly grow weak and his legs
wobble.
"Brennan!"
Lex gripped his shoulders as Brennan
began to sink to the floor, " Brennan! …Screw this, I'm calling
an ambulance".
Brennan knocked the phone flying to the floor,
gripping Lex's arm he spoke as best he could.
" You can't
let him…find it. The papers…he'll come to get them…Lex. Call
my, call my friends…they can help me".
And suddenly Lex was holding the unconscious Brennan against a wall, to which he was literally, lying on the floor. He looked down on him, confused and suddenly he remembered Brennan mentioning his friends. He grabbed his phone and pulled Brennan to his car, where he pushed him in and drove off towards the house near the beach.
When he pulled up, Jesse
was standing on the porch, waiting no doubt for his friend. Panic
spread across his face as he saw Lex pull Brennan out the car.
"
What did you do to him!"
Lex sighed as Jesse pulled Brennan to
him, " He fell unconscious at my feet, I've done nothing to your
friend…he said you guys could help him".
Jesse nodded, already
checking Brennan over, " Can you help me get him inside".
Lex
nodded, " I know what you mean, he's not exactly light to
carry".
They brought him into the house and placed him on
the couch. Jesse checked Brennan again before questioning Lex. "
What happened?"
Lex Shrugged, " we were talking and then
suddenly he was shaky on his feet, then he collapsed".
Jesse
sighed hard as he heard what was said, " Ok…thank for your
help-"
"-What! Your going to push me out after I just helped
him".
Jesse stepped back, " Well, Adam will be here in a
few minutes and if he finds you in here he'll blow a fuse. So
thanks for your help…I'll get back to you about Brennan."
Lex
was reluctant at first, but finally he nodded and went to the door.
" Jesse…"
Jesse walked him to the door, "What?". Lex
turned around so he was facing him, he was now out side and Jesse was
on the door.
" What happened to him…he was fine one moment
and the next…"
Jesse sighed, quickly thinking of a excuse. "
He's not been feeling well lately…he's been all over the place
with his health".
Lex nodded, letting his head fall a bit before
lifting it back up, " Maybe I can help…I have a range of high
qualified doctors-".
Jesse quickly shook his head, " Adam can
help…thanks any way, like I said, I'll get back to you".
Lex
nodded before finally going to his car and driving off.
Hours later
Brennan groggily opened his eyes, seeing a flashlight being flashed in his eyes he quickly shut them again. Adam's voice rang out and he instantly thought some thing was wrong. He reopened his eyes and allowed the annoying light to do its job. Finally he saw Adam and all the others standing around him. He was lying on the couch, arm slung over his head.
Confusion over took him at the
thought of where he was. ' Hold on…how could I go from the beach
to here…who was- Lex!'
He jolted up, gripping the couch to
help him rise. Every arm pushed him back down, settling him
back.
All he could hear was Adam's voice telling him to
relax.
" Brennan…its ok. Just lie back now and relax…were
here".
Brennan sighed inwards, laughing at him self from his
mind. ' Relax its ok…what do they think happened to me…I became
suddenly retarded'.
He tried to shake off the hands, he needed to find out what Lex knew now…because of him and the power. He shivered inwards, one minute his head was tilted back, body feeling like it was in a spasm, looking up at Adam as his mouth moved urgently. The next he was lying in bed, and Lionel Luther was standing over him.
It almost shocked him to see the mans face
soft and sincere with worry. He leaned down and stroked his head,
Mouthing words to him.
He tried to hear what was being said, "
Its ok…I know you didn't mean to do it".
Brennan struggled
to breath as the image became stronger and vivid.
Lionel was
shouting, his face red with rage and tears slowly sliding down his
face. He was pointing to a cradle, near the far wall. He looked over
to it…but there was no movement coming from inside it.
He
looked back to Lionel till finally, Lionel stepped forwards and hit
him across the face, knocking him to the floor. He got back up, fear
of Lionel not caring about him suddenly mattered more now than to
fight back. He rose his arms to shield any more attacks.
He
remembered looking up towards Lionel as another hit knocked him to
the floor near the door. He could taste the blood that was now coming
from his mouth and he gritted back a cry.
He thought to him
self, ' this isn't me…it must be Lex from when he was
younger'.
He cursed into him self for the power of being able to
see into the past, so far that's all it was doing.
Lionel came
towards him to attack again and Brennan raised his hands to defend
his head.
There was nothing. He lowered his arms and Adam was
shining a light in his eyes,
"Brennan…you back with us".
He
nodded and started to get up but again, Adam and the others did there
job. He was groggy and confused, How long have I been out.
He
relaxed against the push of the hands that clung him to reality. He
really didn't want another flash of Lex's past to suddenly jump
on him and consume his now fully working mind.
He rose up to a
sitting position and every one back up away from him, Adam remained
sitting next to him.
Brennan pushed his palms into his eyes as he
leant his head onto them, trying to shake some lingering images.
Shalimar sat to his right now, Adam to the left and he felt a safety circle being formed around him.
will continue. But come on guys reply.
