Different Powers 6
Hey guys i'm back...and not empty handed. Enjoy.
"Why's this happening Adam?...what's happening to me?"
Adam sat back as Brennan looked up at him with pleading eyes, eyes that wanted an answer.
" Your power
is growing and it seems every time your skin makes contact with Lex,
your body has a chain reaction and you see his past". His voice
seemed flat and Brennan looked more seriously at him, "….but".
Adam
sighed as Brennan again seemed to catch him with his hands in his
pockets.
" But…if you keep losing consciousness, if it keeps
draining you, there could be…other problems".
Shal rubbed his
arm in a way to show she was there. He didn't look at her though,
keeping his eyes on his hands.
He sighed shakily as if for no
reason, he missed some thing, some thing his hands used to be good
with. He dropped his head into them, letting another shaken sigh blow
out loud. He missed his powers…his old ones.
Shal looked at Adam
a bit desperate, but was stunned when he had nothing to say to her,
or Brennan. To make them feel better by giving them a solution.
Adam
rose to his feet, feeling slightly defeated by the idea he couldn't
help Brennan. But what hurt more was one thought. If I cant help
him…what happens when the others start with it as well.
He was
at a loss for words and as usual, felt empty at how, again, he'd
let them down.
Jesse looked at Emma at the sudden quietness in
the room, raising his eyebrows in question at her. She shrugged her
shoulders in she didn't know either. Being the youngest members
didn't always benefit you, in fact, it made you miss out on
things.
Emma nodded her head towards the door and rose up as Jesse
met her at the door. As they left the room, Shalimar looked around to
see what they were doing.
Seeing them leave she looked at Adam,
giving him a glance that said, 'Talk to him' then too
left.
Brennan suddenly noticed how empty the room had begun
and looked at the door as it swung shut. Adam looked at the door too,
slightly fearing if he continued to annoy Brennan, left on his own
with him…
As Adam's mind went on a trail of thought, Brennan
mind tried its own.
Adam looked towards him, with something
hidden behind his eyes, which made Brennan feel, on edge. Since he's
been in Mutant x, he only saw that look in Adam's eyes when he was
holding some thing back.
His trail of thought now lead to, If it
can happen to Lex, why didn't it happen with any one else.
His
mind was ready to hide it from Adam, but some thing else said, '
one of you needs to be true first', and with a sigh he told Adam
his thought.
Adam suddenly stopped dead, his mind going at the same thought Yes…why didn't it happen with any one else. And then…there was a hard knock on the door.
