Different Powers 20

In vision

Brennan looked around as he walked down the long corridor. The walls were white, but seemed old, with the pain crisping a bit. As he continued to walk, down the hall, things seemed to become more new and less aged. There were doors on either side of the wall as he walked. Endless numbers of them, but one stood at the very bottom of the corridor. The door had light shinning through and Brennan's hopes lifted when he realised it was sunlight, from out side. He went to walk towards it, then remembered Derek and turned to look behind him. There was no Derek, just the endless corridor.

He decided he needed to go through the door that lead to out side, since he couldn't get any clue as to where they were just standing in a blank corridor.

He went to the door, finally reaching it after what felt like walking for hours. He suddenly realised his clothes were different to. Which started to freak him out when a stray thought came across to him, 'Am I dead. What was the last thing that happened? I was with Derek in the lab with the guard… a vision'.

Before he could touch the door, it swung open, and he flinched as it did. It hung open like a crocodiles jaw, waiting for some fish or some thing unlucky, to step into jaws.

He hesitated a bit longer, and then stepped out. The sun was nowhere to be seen, but he didn't really care. His eyes wondered about what was around him.

A parking lot, a big metal fence that he had no doubt, had electricity running through it. He suddenly had the feeling Lionel liked the whole idea of the electricity. A smirk formed on his face, ' wait till I'm back to normal, then I'll show him how fascinating it can be'.

He walked away from the building and look up. The building was huge, about 10 stories high and in big writing said, 'Luther Corp'. A smile of triumph spread on his face, and he stared to walk back to the building.

As he walked back down the hall, he was half way down when the door he'd walked through earlier, slammed shut, making him jump. His eyes wondered about for any threat, but there was none.

As he continued walking he glanced into the rooms, since every door had a glass window in. He saw various types of people, all sitting on the floor, rocking backwards and forwards. Fear hit him as he suddenly thought about Shalimar's fear of Asylums and he couldn't deny that the place did remind him of one.

He continued walking, trying to not let his fear of seeing one of his friends in one of the rooms, over power him.

He walked till his legs started to hurt, but yet, when he looked back, he was still standing where he'd been when the door had shut. Sighing in frustration, he walked towards one of the doors, fear now running a bead of sweat down his face. His heart beat increased its beating, and hammered at his chest. Sweat had begun to settle in his palms but the more he wiped them on his trousers, the faster the sweat came back.

As he drew nearer to the room, he felt the temperature dramatically drop and wished that some how, he'd be pulled out of the vision. He tried to look threw the window, but the room inside held pure darkness; a shiver ran like a snake up his spine.

He let his fingers brush the handle, and an endless feeling of betrayal ran through him, making him step away from the room like it was the pit of hell. He tried to stop his hands from shaking at there sides, but it didn't help knowing he would have to step into the room.

The door instantly started to rumble, like it almost sensed him there. Brennan took a deep breath, that filled him and made him feel slightly better. Walking towards the door, he gripped the handle firmly, and in the moment, the door stopped its rattling. The door almost seemed to ease back into peace at his touch and he felt greatly relieved for it.

The door was about an inch taller than him, and seemed quite thick. Like the walls all around him, it too was white, but seemed dimmed by what ever may have touched its surface.

He turned the doorknob and eased the door open. His feet refused to move as soon as darkness greeted him, and he struggled to breath properly. Every time his eyes would try to adjust, all his other senses would go on hyper alert, making him feel in danger.

Every thing froze as a whirlwind of cold clashing with heat. He thought he saw some thing; long been condemned to the room, move. Slowing his breathing down, he took a step into the room, and the darkness parted, to reveal images flying towards him.

One was of Lionel and Eckhart, as they looked at each other. Lionel was lying on the floor, nursing a bloody nose... while Eckhart had a gun pointed at him. Brennan could tell which were Eckhart's men and which were Lionel's, since all of Lionel's men lay motionless on the floor, while 3 of Eckharts men still stood standing. The room was a blood bath, but Brennan suddenly saw Derek and him self in the room, both being dragged off by Eckharts men.

As the door opened into the hall, Brennan saw more agents there, and then him self turn back and look directly at the spot where he stood. But he was shoved out the room, followed by Derek. Brennan also caught a glimpse of Adam and Jesse in the hall, being handled by a few more agents as they too were dragged off. But what stopped his heart was seeing women with long blond hair, hanging over one of the men's shoulder's, who followed where the others were going.

Strangely, Lex was being carried off the same way, and Brennan suddenly understood the blazing hatred in Lionel's eyes. He knew instantly that Lionel loved Lex, since he was his son. But Eckhart was attacking him and his family, and that suddenly seemed like what Eckhart had done to him, with Mutant x.

Brennan turned away as Eckhart moved the gun with more determination that he'd ever seen him use, and pointed right at Lionel, who tensed in the position he was in on the floor.

"...Brennan".

He started to feel dizziness start to shake him on his feet, and reality start to fall back into place. He was slightly grateful, but he wanted to know what happened with the others... and Lionel.

"Brennan". Slowly, the images started to slip away, and reality was coming into view, bringing along the aching of his back from the torture. But before it all could become real, Brennan heard a loud bang, and found his answer to what happened to Lionel.

He looked up, and there sat Derek, prodding his arm repeatedly in the same position, that started to annoy him.

"Hey, your awake. I thought you were hurt, since they just dropped you in here basically on your head... how you holding up".

Brennan shook his head, as he felt slightly groggy after the vision. He was glad that it had happened when he was asleep. He didn't know if he could have handled it if he were awake.

"I'll be fine... how long was I out?"

Derek's eyes held some worry, "... your blacked out in the lab, but that bastard still continued for about 15 minutes. We've been in here over an hour now".

Brennan nodded, glad that Derek sounded sure of his accuracy of how long it had been. Suddenly he smiled and Derek sat back in shock, "What? Brennan... What!"

"... I know where we are".

Derek almost jumped forwards at him, "Where are we... how do you know?" his voice grew louder and Brennan quickly grabbed him by his arm. His vice grip silenced Derek instantly.

"I just know...we're in a massive building, called Luther Corp". Brennan suddenly got an idea, and he pondered for a bit longer, then decided to try it out.

"Derek... I know that when Adam couldn't find us... he'd use our COM rings... but when that failed... he used Emma".

Derek just shrugged, "What's your point, even though you do have your ring, there is no doubt that Eckhart would have left you with it if he knew Adam would be able to reach you. He must have some thing blocking your signal completely".

Brennan nodded, agreeing that not even Eckhart would be that dumb. "But Emma could always pick up on our emotions... she was able to pin point us no matter where we were".

Derek nodded, but the dim look in his eyes said he was following, but struggling to understand.

"ok... Nina has the exact same power Emma had. If she can pick off an emotion, some thing she may know you by, she might be able to pick up on where we are".

Derek's face slowly transformed as Brennan relayed the information to him. A smile spread on his face and he gave Brennan and encouraging slap on the shoulder. "that's a great idea... ok. So all I need to do is either get really serious, of really, angry". Brennan nodded and Derek's smile turned to a smirk as his eyes glistened with anger. "I can do that simple".

Clarks Farm

Shalimar and Willow had both joined each other in walking around and going to look into the Living room to see if Emma and Nina had made any progress.

Willow sighed as frustration reached its peek with her, "I can't take this any more, why isn't any thing being done". She was gripping her fists and squeezing them so tight Jesse was glad that wasn't his hand.

Adam stood up from where he was sitting, he too felt the frustration rising higher. "They need time Nina, not constant interruptions. We all just need to keep calm and as soon as Emma and Nina are done, we build up a plan... together".

Willow nodded still feeling her temper on red alert and folded her arms. Seconds later, she was back at it with Shalimar.

Adam sighed, not really hearing Clark enter the room. "Adam?"

" Yes Clark". Clark walked towards the group, wearily, "Found any thing out on the blade yet... like how to help your team get back to normal".

Adam nodded suddenly, "Yes... but I need to know how he got the powers". Eddy who was sitting quiet with Jesse now spoke up, "they were in the blade... Nina dug it out of him and told me. She said he thought they were off ancient gods... people who already had powers. They desired to be human and lived out there lives like that. But it can't be true. there is no history of them ever existing".

Jesse cut in, "but like you said, the people died human, so I guess their existence vanished along with them".

Shalimar sighed and threw her hands up, "Guys, I don't care if santer clause gave us these gifts. There not 'my' powers, and they sure don't feel like mine". In that, the only other person who knew how she was feeling, Jesse nodded.

Holding Cell

Brennan could tell Derek was angry, by the way his eyes froze on a spot on the wall like it would shatter. It continued and Brennan saw Derek's whole body tense as anger turned to rage. After watching Derek, Brennan half expected a him to suddenly leap up and take a run at the area he was staring at.

"Derek... you don't have to answer me but... who are you thinking of killing". A small smirk lit Derek's face, making a murderous gleam shine in his eyes. "... Eckhart and Lionel".

After a moment, Brennan spoke again, "... save some for me then". This brought an even larger smirk to Derek's face, but it disappeared the second it came. Making Brennan think it had never been there in the first place.

Clark's farm

Emma and Nina both sat trying to lesson the amount of effort Nina would have to use to find Derek. They had been at it for 20 minutes, and in that time, Shalimar and Willow had both stuck their heads into the room to see if there was any news.

"ok Nina.. just breath slowly. Let your mind roam for Derek. Think of how he acts, what he feels or what you think he may feel". Nina listened while keeping her eyes shut, and stretched out. Every time she did, a strain would be put on her brain, and she could only up hold it for a few minutes before stopping.

Sighing with frustration as again, she had to stop because of the pain, she put her hands on her forehead. "I'm sorry Emma. I'm just not as strong as you".

Emma shook her head, and gripped Nina's hand to support her emotionally. "I don't have that gift any more, but don't say your weak". Nina shook her head, "but I am. Sifer... he always used to say if I couldn't do it then I wasn't worth the trouble of teaching". She dropped her head, and Emma felt a sudden ball of fire erupt in her chest. Grabbing Nina with a tight grip she made her look at her.
"Nina!... you are strong. Sifer isn't here. And be sides... your getting told this from the best", that made Nina smile and sit straight up. Emma sat forwards, "now lets try this again... I'll be here to help you Nina". After a second Nina nodded and her eyes closed once more.

Emma sat waiting patiently for Nina to find them. She was struggling to keep her emotions low, to not feel some thing too deep because she knew it would distract Nina.

Nina suddenly gasped and reached out for Emma. Emma grabbed the reaching hand and held onto it, "Nina what is it!"

Adam and the others came in when they heard Emma's voice so urgent and loud and saw her leaning towards Nina. Nina was scrunching her eyes shut, and her breathing had become rapid.

"Nina!... what's wrong". Adam started towards the two women, and to his surprise, so did eddy. But Eddy made sure to stay out the way.

As soon as Adam reached towards Nina, her breathing instantly became normal, and her eyes slowly opened. She looked towards Emma, who saw the tiredness in her eyes.

"... I know where they are"

Holding Cells

Brennan was sitting, playing with his shoes, when Derek suddenly sat up straight. His back no longer arched in a angry stance, but calm. Brennan stood up as did Derek, and came closer to him, "What?"

Derek seemed lost, but Brennan saw the smile on his face. "... I felt some one... no...Nina. brush my mind... she read all my emotions and I told here where we were".

Brennan smiled and returned Derek's slap on the shoulder from earlier, "Great... but bad news is all we have to do is wait, and hold out".

Derek nodded, and they both suddenly jumped when the door to there cell opened in a flash, and their stood Creed, again having agents standing behind him. He was smiling wide, and stepped into the room, the agents following him.

"Mr Eckhart has a surprise for you two". He nodded to the guards and before Derek could start a fight, Brennan shook his head, saying not to fight. Derek seemed reluctant, but did it any way.

"Well Mr Mulwray... it seems you may have learned after a while". Creed smile never faltered, but only seemed to grow... But Brennan succeeded in making the smile vanish completely, "I only learned Eckhart only employs ass hole like you who sit at his feet like dogs".

Creed didn't like that. While Derek was being led out the room, Brennan was ragged and shoved, all the while smiling as he passed a pissed of Creed.

Ok... this is coming close to the end so just to warn you all.

Thanks for the reviews, they are great. but as I always say, a few more wouldn't be so bad.

Hope you enjoyed it.
