Different Powers 14

The team successfully got Lex back with them to the hotel, where it was a few minutes past ten. Every one was on edge, and visibly jumped when Lex started to move about. When his eyes finally opened, he started up with a slight jolt. His eyes hit every one in the room, and when he saw Adam and Brennan, looked confused at them.

Brennan didn't know what to do now, but Adam saved them all. "Lex, I know your probably confused now as to why you're here, but let me explain".

Lex shrugged, and laughed slightly at Adam, but every one could tell he was nervous, confused, and even scared slightly. "No, I wanted your autograph…why am I here Kane". Adam heard in Lex's voice, the same tone Lionel would use with him. The same words, but Adam still hoped Lex would be nothing like his father.

"We brought you here because your house was...attacked. We got you out before you could be taken". Lex was quiet as the words sunk in, stopping him in before words could form. Questions came naturally to him. "How did you know...why did you help".

Adam smiled, and looked back at Brennan, "you can thank Brennan for the help". Lex looked towards Brennan who was unwilling to fully stare Lex in the eyes, for fear Lex would see how he'd know. Brennan just shrugged, "You helped me out at the beach...had to return the favour".

Lex nodded, "so how did you all know my house was being attacked". Adam nodded back, standing up straight, " Your father kept asking about you...and we started to get suspicious. We went to your house and spotted the men about fifteen minutes from your house". All of that was a complete lie, but what Lex didn't know, couldn't hurt him.

Lex rubbed the back of his head and scrunched his eyes shut. "God...what happened to my head"? Adam gave Emma a brief glance before going to check on Lex's head.

Shalimar walked over to Brennan, sat down next to him and smiled. But he didn't return the favour. He was slightly worried Lex would find some thing out. With him being there, they were all exposed. Shalimar rubbed his arm and finally he gave in and smiled at her, letting a bit of his worry seep into it and try to warn her on how he was feeling. But her response was grabbing his hand and squeezing tight. Suddenly, he felt some thing heat up in him, and all he could feel was emotional strength coming off her. She was giving him strength, and he felt better instantly. He dared to look her in the eyes, and saw her slight worry for him, but there was more...so much more. Her strength awoke some thing in him, and before any thing else could happen, Adam was talking again and snapped them both out the moment.

As soon as Adam was into the talk, Shalimar let go of his hand, and a sinking feeling came, that kept pulling him down. Sighing, he ignored the feeling, and listened to Adam.

"Your gonna have to stay here for a few days, but don't go out too much. Tomorrow, we'll figure out what to do". Lex shook his head, "I'll stay here tonight...but tomorrow, I'll call a friend of mine and go to his". Jesse spoke up, "who's your friend...what's his name. It may not be safe if your father will suspect where you went".

Lex shook his head again, "my father won't suspect where I'm going. He lives here, maybe you met him...Clark Kent". Adam nodded back, "Yes...we all have. He's a good man". Adam also was glad Lex was going tomorrow...because then...that was when all hell would brake loose.

"Ok...so who wants to give up their room for tonight". Before Jesse could talk, Brennan did. "I will, be side's, Lex wont fit in Jesse's bed, its too small". Jesse huffed, " I'm not small". Brennan smiled at Jess, "I didn't say you were, I just said your bed was".

Adam nodded, "alright, don't argue. Lex, is that alright with you". Lex was smiling to him self, these people are friends but act like family "sure".

Emma smiled and clapped her hands once, "Ye...and Brennan can sleep with Shal. Irm, I mean...he can sleep in Shal's room. Her bed is massive". Every one looked directly at Emma, and she smiled a bit embarrassed. Adam agreed, "Alright with you Shalimar".

Shalimar was smirking at Emma, "sure Adam...I always needed a teddy bear". Jesse had to cut in and get a hit on his friend, "yes Shal...now you have a life size one".

Brennan sighed, putting his head down and feeling the embarrassment overwhelm him. Had they all forgot who was sitting on the couch.

they all went to there rooms, sleeping right through the night. However, there was no rest for the wicked.

Luther Corp

Lionel was smiling to him self, sitting alone in his office, but that smile soon changed to a snarl as he heard the report on his son. A man in a neat black suit entered. Lionel had dressed his men like Eckhart's so no one would think his men were in on the plan. The man stood at the foot of his desk.

" Sir here to report. Your son was not at the house, nor was he any where around the premises". Lionel sat forwards on his chair as suddenly his plans were already being shattered. he suddenly didn't care where his son was at that moment. Lex was always running off and causing trouble, so really he didn't mind. All he wanted was Adam to fall. He'd had a grudge against Adam when Adam had turned down a bundle of his offers when he was at Genomex, to come work for Luther corp. He huffed, almost laughing to him self. A few weeks later, news got out that a project had begun at Genomex...Adam at the centre of it all...and the project had failed miserably.

Finally he sat back in his chair, "very well. Call Mr Eckhart and give him a message from me...tell him to be ready for tomorrow". The man nodded, "but...what's tomorrow sir".

Lionel pulled on his coat and started to leave, "Adam Kane's downfall".

Morning

It was around 7am when every one started to get up. Lex had left at 7:15 to make sure no one else would see him so early. Adam had spent 2 hours last night, setting up some plans till finally sleep had won over him.

He was slightly surprised Brennan hadn't had any other visions lately. He would never wish any thing bad upon the members of the team...but with what was coming...they sure could use a head start. He was tempted to ask Brennan...but quickly put the thought out. Him and Brennan had been falling out lately...and he didn't need Brennan to suddenly get a grudge on with him.

The plan was to drive out of town, so no one would see them using neither their powers, nor any one get hurt. He had no doubt they would most likely be chased out...but that was part of the plan. let the enemy think they are chasing you, and suddenly turn their plan upside down, and attack.

every one was washed and dressed around 7:30, and the tension in the air had risen. Brennan sat down and started to eat the cereal Jess had made for him, while doing his own. Jesse dropped down next to him and they both ate while watching the news. it wasn't that good, but all other channels were boring this time of day.

Shalimar came in a few seconds after Emma had called her, and took the plate of food Emma had offered her. It was sausages and bacon, with toast. she quickly thanked Emma and munched down the meal. Emma and Adam both sat at the counter, drinking coffee and eating what was left of the toast.

Shalimar looked over to Brennan after putting her empty plate into the sink. He looked worried again. she knew he was slightly tired, but they had both slept like babies in the same bed. Normally, she would get all hot and end up sleeping on the couch, but she had cuddled into Brennan's side, which was cool like the rest of him and fell straight to sleep. She'd only wake up once in the night when she suddenly felt Brennan's weight shift. But he'd moved in his sleep. the rest of the night was a breeze. But still...looking at him now, he seemed distressed about some thing. She could always tell this, no matter how much he denied some thing. she got the real answer in the end...and she loved the feeling that he would tell her eventually. It was trust they both shared...and that made them both grow closer.

Brennan felt her eyes boring into him and quickly finished his cereal. He walked to the sink where Shal was standing and washed his dish. She was still looking at him, and a brief glance at her told him she knew he was worried. He gave her a smile and she hugged his arm before going back to the couch with him.

Jesse was watching the news when Shalimar dropped into the seat next to him, and prodded his rib. he playfully tapped her hand away, but the poke came again. He did it back, but only received a harder poke. He knew she wanted attention, but Brennan was right next to her and still she insisted on poking him. She always tormented him, like a sister or a brother would do to a family member, but it only made him think. She never did it to Brennan.

He remembered what he'd done, when they were at the beach. He'd scared them so good...but there was some thing going on. Jess knew they had some thing between them...but he just wasn't ready to give Shal up yet. Another prod and he gave up on thinking and bombarded Shalimar with pokes to the ribs. She squealed and pushed back into Brennan, who didn't seem at all bothered. she grabbed Jesse's left hand, but the right followed.

"Adam...make Jesse stop".

Emma looked back and almost burst out laughing. Jesse was over shal, pushing with all his might to poke her ribs, to get past her hands. Shalimar was squealing every time Jesse succeeded and Jesse smirked and did it again. But Shalimar was literally lying on Brennan. poor guy... She looked to Adam who shook his head, she her self-getting the same thought the moment he did. Kids.

"Jesse stop it. We've all got a big day today". Every thing stopped and Brennan suddenly look back at Adam, a hidden emotion in his eyes. Adam sighed to him self and stood up. "I know you can all feel some thing coming...". Brennan cut in, "some thing big...". Adam nodded, "We're gonna leave today, because I know its gonna kick off. We'll probably have to make a run to get out of town...but under any circumstances, don't use your powers!...understood". every one nodded, "Alright, get your things, we're heading back to the beach house".

Emma looked worriedly at Adam, but he didn't answer any of her questionable glances.

Every one gathered their things and put them in the car out side. Lana was there to see them off.

"Adam, I don't know why you have to leave so soon...but couldn't you stay a bit longer". Adam shook his head, and apologised to her. "No...I'm sorry we cant. It was great staying here Lana, thank you for that. But we need to get back. We may be back very soon if we get the chance".

Finally Lana nodded, "all right...have a safe journey". Adam smiled, trying to get the feeling of awareness away. He could feel some one watching them. they were all waved off and started the car. Adam had paid Lana a high sum of money. She was quick to reject it, but Adam told here to keep it. Finally after 5 minutes of yes's and No's...she did.

the team pulled away from the cafe and started their drive out.

"Jess, try and keep your eyes open, same for all of you" Adam's words to them sent them all on high alert. Brennan didn't need a second warning and instantly let all the sounds around him amplify. If there were anything out of the ordinary, he'd hear it. he was also looking around, out the window to make sure there was no one in the distance.

Shalimar, even if she wasn't a feral, still acted like one. She too was listening out for any sudden noises or any sudden movement.

Jesse was driving again, constantly looking in the rear view mirror for any surprises that may pop up from behind. Emma was in the passenger seat, silently wishing she had her old powers. At least then she would be able to sense any one. Adam was sitting in the middle back seat, for safety reasons. The team had agreed on it...except for Adam, who said it was nonsense, but they changed his mind.

A black SUV was coming into sight, but they passed it...with no one in. they all saw it as they passed and all looked at each other, trying to think what it could mean.

Brennan concentrated harder on the noises...the wind blowing...Jesse changing gears...their car rumbling along...every one's hearts beating harder, breathing hard...

He looked around again and still saw nothing. He froze when the noises suddenly increased. He waited for an enemy to give them selves away...but no one moved. he decided to listen.

He could hear all the same noises... but he suddenly heard the rumbling of their car increase, and he could hear some thing else...a dear maybe. the rumbling's too loud...and either a dear or maybe even a cheater is near by...or there is some one running really fast...maybe its Clark to see us off. But a twisting feeling in his stomach said it wasn't Clark.

he started to feel a nervous sweat, cover his skin and he hated the feeling. He looked at Shal, hoping to find some comfort like before, but her expression matched his own.

The rumbling noise suddenly grew louder, so loud every one could hear it and Brennan had to lower his senses down. The car was struck with some sort of earthquake...and started to rock. Jesse grabbled the wheel and stopped the car before they toppled over.

Brennan looked out the window just in time to see a blurred figure coming towards them, at and incredible speed. As he opened his door and climbed out, he suddenly felt, tied up. like ropes were around him. He froze and tried to brake free, but not before receiving a well-delivered punch to the stomach. It was so hard he fell to his knees.

Shalimar jumped out the car next, and started to defend Brennan from the almost invisible attacker. "Brennan...what's wrong".

Apart from the obvious Brennan wished to say, but held back. "I can't move...". Every one got out the car to face their attackers.

About four more other figures were moving towards them. Adam tensed as he recognised one of them.

when the people reached them, the figure running about stopped next to them.

Sifer smiled wide at the look on Adam's face. "Adam...what a lovely surprise to see you here". Adam felt slight anger rise but held it down, "What do you want Sifer". But Sifer didn't answer him. He turned to the man who's attacked them, "Good work Derek...".

Adam caught Derek's eye and gave him a look of pity that angered Derek since he snarled at Adam. Sifer quickly cut in, " what do you think about my people Adam. You should think were superior...but yet you prance around with them behind you. well, I guess we cant blame them...since they don't know the real you".

Adam stepped forwards, "and what about your friends...do they know the real you". Sifer didn't let on that Adam had caught him off guard and merely changed the subject. " Funny, it only took Derek to take down two of your people".

Brennan quickly cut in with rage in his voice, his eyes blazing, the feral was raging with the invisible binds. "Two things. If you call me standing like this...being down...then I think you need a ride awakening on the word. Second... I don't think your buddy Derek has that kind of ability to hold me down...do you Derek". Brennan said the name as if it were a comical name.

Derek's face scrunched but before he could return any blows, Sifer stopped him. "Well, I believe we all haven't met". Sifer went round the members of his team, introducing them.

"this is Derek as you've met. but he has a tendency to always...run into things". in saying this, he gained a snicker from his fellow team members. He pointed to eddy, "this is eddy, a fine fellow like you would say Adam". sifer then pointed to Willow, " this young women is Willow...the fierce fighter of us all". He then walked to Nina, and smirked, "this is Nina...the one holding your team member capture Adam. she holds many talents".

In response, Brennan was released from his bonds and stood tall, glaring at Sifer.

Sifer smirked at the team, "And I'm Sifer as you may have gathered. This is my little team Adam. So...are you impressed".

"Not really". for that, Mutant x snickered back. Sifer's face scrunched in anger and he walked with a deathly stride. "You may laugh now, but that shall soon pass when you see what's coming...or should I say...your friend shall see". This drove some of Derek's attention, but he dared not question Sifer in front of Adam and his team. That would signal there was doubt in side the team, and Adam would use that to tear them apart.

Adam made sure he was closer to Sifer, but in front of the team so they didn't charge into battle. "your not going any where near them Sifer. I know you've gone mad in the head-" Sifers raging deep voice cut him off, "WRONG!"

With that all of Sifer's team ran towards Adam, and the Mutant x team did the same. It was all in slow motion as the two teams finally reached each other, but Sifer's team were going after the one's they were trained to fight. Sifer against Adam...Derek against Brennan...Eddy against Jesse...Nina against Emma...and Willow against Shalimar.
All were evenly matched, trading blows and kicks. But they all failed to notice the black SUV's as they drew closer and closer.
