Different Powers 19

Clark's farm

Sifer had been set up in the Kent's basement, where he was out of the way, and they had easy access to him at all times.

Adam had quickly gone to work asking Sifer questions after he'd woke up. Adam had made sure to also bring Shalimar down with him, every time he questioned Sifer. When Sifer never talked, Shalimar delivered a punch or kick, which Sifer soon learned would not stop, nor get any lighter.

"How did you find me Sifer?"

Sifer looked at Adam, then to the feral who was now smiling. Shalimar sighed and lifted her fist, before Sifer soon started to talk. "No! I'll talk just stop". Shalimar's fist dropped back to her side and she crossed her arms, waiting.

"... I trained Nina to use her ability, so she could lock onto you. She dare's lock onto one of your mutants... not with your telempath. She'd easily be sensed. We hid in your underground, till we heard some rumour you were going on vacation. We just booked a plane and followed you".

Adam nodded, answering some uSifer went silent, and after Shalimar stepped back, did he only continue, "I didn't have the blade when I came here... only the thought that my team could defeat yours. Then I started to look around, and stumbled across a professor at the school, who found an amazing discovery. I found out what he had found and did research... and that's when I knew I had to get the blade. I followed him to this place and watched him give it to the farm boy, who put it in his barn. I stole it and used it on your team. My answers were finally answered... but then my dream was once again crushed. Once again you all had learned to manipulate your new powers, use them to your advantage. I knew I shouldn't have given you so much time". When Sifer finished, his head was tilted down and his voice had ended in an angry tone that said he'd failed, once again.

Adam slowly got up from where he was sitting, "Why do you despise me so much..."

Sifer gave a small laugh, "You were too cocky. I wanted to take your stupid grin off your face... but it seems now, for all the wrong reasons".

After a few second more of standing there, Adam left, closely followed by Shalimar. He went straight to where Jesse was, and quickly started a discussion with him. Jesse nodded after a while and pointed to the room where Nina was being kept. Willow was not resisting, and neither was Eddy, since both knew what Sifer had done to them, for his own gain. But Nina refused to think of Sifer as a traitor. Refused to even listen to her teammates when they tried to tell her. Her only words to them were, 'traitors'.

Adam quickly entered the room, and Shalimar followed in after him, slightly fearing their leader may do some thing he'll regret later. Adam stood in front of Nina till she finally looked up at him. She gave him a disgusted glared before looking away again.

"Nina... you can either choose to think of your team mates as traitors for helping us, or you can help your team mates. Derek is missing, along with one of my team members. So, Nina. What are you going to do... help us... or become a traitor to your teammates... just like Sifer".

She snarled at him, "Sifer is not a traitor... where is Derek?"

Adam nodded, "Sifer is a traitor, he left you all after the fight, to fend for your selves. He didn't even lift a finger. And... he helped Eckhart capture Derek. He prevented them both from escaping the house on the beach, then ran again. While Eckhart's men hauled Derek off".

Nina shook her head, "you're lying". But there was that slimmer of doubt in her voice, that Adam picked up on, "then ask one of your team mates... or better yet. Ask Sifer him self. Ask him why he left you all... abandoned you. you can tell if he's lying with you powers".

Nina's head had dropped as she considered what to do. then she looked back up at Adam, this time the emotion playing in her eyes wasn't hate... but worry.

"I want to find Derek. Sifer always acts weird and never sticks around any ways. Derek has always stood by us... no matter what. He's gotten us through unbearable things. Sifer only criticises him, and shoots holes in good plans... I want to help get Derek back. Sifer can go to hell now".

Lab in Luther Corp

Brennan and Derek were both being silent, as the doctor moved about the room, seeming like he was looking for some thing, but he was only there to try their nerves. Derek constantly shifted about, trying to find some weakness in their bindings, but he was still shuffling, when Creed came back in, this time with a device in his hand. He placed it on the table and Brennan realised it to be a remote of some sort.

"Now gentlemen. This devise is more of a remote, which will trigger a mechanism in those tables your both lying on. It will deliver a stinging sensation, that will eventually turn into a jolt should either of you fail to answer".

Creed walked towards Brennan, and stared down at him, with pure hate in his eyes. Brennan started to wonder why Creed could hate him so much, when they had never met before. The only thought that came to mind was that when they were all in the holding cell. He must have made a show of Creed in front of Eckhart.

"Now… lets start with a little test shall we? So Mr Mulwray, what do I call our other guest"? His voice made Brennan tense. It flowed out of Creed, like he knew some thing that was very important.

"…. Rick". After the seconds of thinking Brennan had remembered the name Derek had said to call him. Now all he had to do was not make a lie out of him self. Creed went over to Derek and gave him the same stare he'd given Brennan.

One second it was quiet, the next Creed held the remote up and pointed it at Derek. Derek's scream of pain made Brennan jump and suddenly expect the same… but the jolt never came to him. Derek's back had suddenly arched up, a cry of agony ripping through the room until Creed dropped his hand to his side, and Derek instantly dropped back to a lying position. He was panting heavily and cursing lowly at what ever he wanted.

Creed was smiling wide now, and came towards Brennan. "Rick… better learn to not stare so intensely at his superiors". Derek burst out at Creed, "Your not our superiors!" but his out burst only brought another smirk to Creed's face. He turned towards Derek and again his hand lifted up in the air, but not towards Derek.
"Like I said before. Your actions don't just have consequences for you". And pointed the devise at Brennan.

Brennan lout a scream of agony course through his lungs as the electricity from the table shot his back and prickled every nerve in his body. His back arched as he tried to escape it, but the pain lasted forever. Just when he thought he could feel his lungs sizzle, like all his strength was near breaking point, it was turned off, and he slumped back to the table, just like Derek, panting for breath.

Creed smiled down at him, "consider that, a first taste of what is to come, because if you and your friend don't start talking. Your both gonna wish for death after I'm done".

Clark's farm

Nina had spent the last 20 minutes, shouting at Sifer, and trying to question him with out using her ability on him, but now she gave up and just sent him images that would have made him talk. After seconds of him being in her world, he blurted out every thing about every detail in his life.

After getting her satisfaction of making Sifer pay, she came out smiling wide at Adam and Jesse. Jesse huffed with a smile, " wow… I'm glad she's finally on our side". Adam nodded but quickly gave Nina his thoughts that he'd been waiting to say to her since she'd stormed past them straight to Sifer.

" Nina…if you want to help us find Derek, you may be more help than you think. Since you can sense emotions, like Emma could. I want you to try and lock onto Derek with your telempath". Nina suddenly seemed worried as Emma walked up behind Adam.
"… I don't think I'm strong enough". Adam quickly shook his head, "please try Nina… Derek's life, along with Brennan's is on the line".

After a few seconds she finally nodded and followed Emma to the living room where they would be trying to connect to Derek.

Luther corp.

Lionel was walking down the corridor towards where the two men were being kept. He wanted to find out any information that would help them bring Adam down. Eckhart kept talking about these men, saying they had strange abilities, and for Lionel's own safety and his own health. He was to stay away from them. Lionel huffed at the thought. Eckhart had no authority over him, nor over any of his men, so he was now going to see the men and get information out of them. His methods were different from Eckhart's he knew… but they seemed to draw close at times.

He stopped out side of a door marked, 'lab 3' and the door automatically opened. He walked in straight over to where Derek was repeatedly being shocked for back mouthing. Creed had left some one in charge, since Eckhart had personally called him to do a task for him.

The agent turned to see who was in the room with him apart from the doctors and prisoners. When he saw Lionel, he froze, and stood professionally for Lionel.

Brennan looked up at the new face. He couldn't see properly because he had repeatedly passed out through the procedure that he realised was still being done to Derek. He suddenly heard Derek's grunting from pain stop, and wondered if Derek had finally died after it all. He hoped not. Derek and him were in this together, and Brennan had suddenly gotten to know Derek a bit more. He'd started to find out that beyond Derek's temper, he was an ok guy. After a few seconds of listening intently, Derek gave another, very low grunt of pain as his body tried to recover over the shocks.

Brennan tried to look at the face as it came towards him, and scrunched his eyes to see the face through the haze that covered his eyes.

Lionel sneered down at Brennan, remembering his face. He'd answer the door to Adam's house, when he'd came to give Adam his 'proposition'. But Adam had foolishly turned it down… but he may not have if Brennan hadn't put suspicion into the mans mind about him.

Brennan finally felt the haze clear, and looked up at the figure that stood a foot away from his table. His eyes widened as he saw who it was, and suddenly, anger exploded in him. It welled up through his chest like a volcano erupting and he tugged viciously at the binds holding him. " LIONEL!"

Lionel smiled down at Brennan as he saw the younger man tugging wildly at his binds. He quickly gripped Brennan's arm that was closest to him and held it there, feeling the power he now had over the two men grow. But Brennan's mind quickly picked up a tingling feeling that now spread in his arm the more Lionel talked.

"Well now. That's some temper you have there. Mr Eckhart seems to think you and your… friend over there, have freakish abilities". He then let go of Brennan, since he seemed to be listening, rather than fighting the restraints.

"Mason seems to think you're a very dangerous man Brennan. But you don't seem that dangerous to me".

Brennan gritted his teeth and fought with all his might not to allow Lionel to see his eyes flash feral.

"Well why don't you let me out of these restraints and I'll show you how dangerous I can be".

The feral in him was rattling at its cage door, beating wildly to be released on Lionel for telling Eckhart where they were. But he had to keep control… for his and Derek's sake.

Lionel gave a short laugh and look over at Derek who made a louder grunt, but this one in protest of the binds, which he pulled at weakly.

"Your friend isn't doing so good, is he Brennan". He stared down at Brennan; still seeing the deadly glare he was giving him as he continued once more pull on the binds.

"…You could both make it easier on your selves if you just tell us where Adam has gone". His voice almost seemed like he was singing the words out to him, like he knew he'd won some unseen battle that had really never existed.

Brennan now found laughter seeping from his lips and Lionel stood back as if he'd missed some thing. Brennan shook his head, still laughing, "What's wrong Lionel. Can't even find one man. I mean with all the things you got going on… I'm quiet shocked. Now I'm not so surprised Lex hates you so much".

Lionel's face twisted and he turned to the guard, "Guard, make sure this one gets your 'special' treatment". The guard nodded, and Lionel's smirk came back as he turned back to Brennan.

"Adam has left you to me and he'll regret it till the day he dies. So why don't you and your friend stick around a bit longer, I believe the guard has a new technique for the two of you. No one's coming for you and your friend over their Brennan, so don't get your hopes up". Lionel then turned his back to Brennan and every one else in the room and left.

Brennan felt a small smirk form on his face, even when the guard started to come towards him. ' That's what you think'. Even through the electrocution, Brennan could feel a different tingle, more of a sizzling, and he knew what it was.

He was actually looking forwards to having a vision, even if it brought after affects that felt like they'd kill him. At least he would have some idea of where he was… hopefully.

The tingling sensation was matched by the buzzing off the electricity that was constantly being coursed through his body. It continued, till darkness claimed him again and that's, where he found his answers.

Ok guys I know this one may be smaller than the last chapter… but I cant leave you all hanging out to dry for too long.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, but the reviews on them are great. Thank you all but still, a few more wouldn't be too bad.
