Different Powers 22

As Adam and his team that he'd went with, walked down another corridor, agents suddenly came out into the hall ahead of them, and looked down the hall Adam and the others stood in. Adam knew instantly they had been spotted, and shouted to the others there was trouble.

The agents rounded on them, but were quickly taken down, when they realised that the team Mutant x… had changed. Emma used her telekinetic ability, and threw most of the agents into a near by wall, while prevented any of the agents from getting the upper hand on his friends.

While Emma knocked them down, Jesse teleported about, surprising there attackers and knocking them all down. When they were down, both Emma and Jesse turned to see Adam being held hostage by another agent that had suddenly decided when his men were losing the fight, that a hostage would be better leverage. Adam had that guilty look in his eyes, while the agent rammed the gun a bit harder into his skull.

" Both of you don't move. I've got Kane so if you want to see you leader still breathing after this..." He threw the sub dermal governor to Jesse who caught it. When he realised what it was, he stared up at the agent, with anger flickering in his bright blue eyes.

The agent made a point of ramming the gun harder into Adam's head and Adam nearly toppled over from the blow.

Before Jesse could do any thing, Emma quickly grabbed his arm. "No Jesse. We cant... Let me do it". He looked at her with slight annoyance in his eyes, but when he saw her eyes suddenly shift to behind the agent, his mind realised what she was doing. She had a glint of some thing in her eyes.

The agent gave a short laugh, "Yes Mr Kilmartin, do what your girl friend asks and no one gets hurt".
After turning around, Jesse saw why Emma had the slight glint of a smile in her eyes. After that Jesse gave a small sigh, and lifted the device to Emma. "Ok Em... you do it". The agent seemed to be taking the bait, as he smiled to him self, no doubt thinking what the prize would be for bringing Eckhart some members of Mutant x.

Emma gladly took the device, and looked at it for a moment. The agent got a bit cranky, since he wanted to show his boss the new prisoners, 'he'd' captured. "Come on hurry up and do it".

Emma nodded, "Ok". And with a crackle, the device lifted out of her hands, and was crushed in front of the agent's eyes. Emma was smiling now, "you didn't exactly tell me what to do so I did what I thought". Adam had a startled look on his face.

The agents face scrunched in anger and his grip on the gun increased. "Stupid mistake". Jesse nodded to a position behind the agent, "you don't know the half of it".

Before the agent could react, his whole body froze. Emma and Jesse slowly pulled Adam out of the agents grasp and sighed with relief. Shalimar and Brennan slowly walked around so the agent could see them. When he did, he had an urge to start cursing, but his body would obey him.

Adam nodded to Shalimar, but quickly ran up to Brennan when he was the bruise on his cheek.
"What happened?"

Brennan quickly pushed their leaders hand away, since he never really forgot what was in the vision. "No time. We gotta hurry". Before Adam or the others could question him, he took off running. Weirdly knowing exactly where he was going. He just hoped they didn't suddenly run into any more agents.

Lionel's office

Derek watched as Eckhart and Lionel both argued and were both now staring each other down. The agents were on high alert, waiting for their bosses to start first.

"Eckhart, you tried to cheat me... well that is the last time you ever get the chance... nor get the chance to do any thing else again". With a flash, Lionel had reached into his jacket to grab at some thing. One of Eckhart's agents seemed faster, and his hand too flashed to his jacket. Before Lionel could fully get the gun out, he was shot in the hand, and the gun flew away from him.

Derek gulped as he realised what was going to happen. It all moved in slow motion, as both sides grabbed at their coats and jackets. Eckhart and Lionel both dropped to the floor. Derek drew as near to the floor as he could get and grunted when he couldn't cover his ears to prevent the blazing noise of gun shots that rang out and into his ears.

Brennan stopped dead just out side the door, as a blaze of gun shots were heard in side the room. He gave a worried look back at the team, and knew he couldn't step into he room till it was over.

It only took a few seconds for the room to become deadly quiet. Brennan felt fear rise as he remembered Derek was still in the room. Emma and Shalimar quickly stepped forwards and opened the door before he could do any thing.
Shalimar swished her hands as soon as she entered and every thing and one in the room froze. Except for Mutant x.

All of Lionel's men were dead, while Lionel was cradling his hand to his chest. Eckhart was getting up and had his gun, already in his hands. He was frozen in that position and Brennan was thankful no one else had been hurt. He looked around and saw Derek on the floor, covering his head as best he could. He walked over to Derek, and was glad to see Emma and Shalimar both move over to the agents who still had there guns raised. Emma and Shalimar quickly went to work on taking the ammo out of the bottom of the gun, so what when the agents fired, no bullets would be shot.

Adam though, had moved to Eckhart, and was doing the exact same as Shalimar and Emma. He had a small smirk on his face when he took the ammo out. Brennan wanted badly to drag Derek out the way he was, but he knew that Lionel would be asking questions if Derek suddenly disappeared when all went back to normal.

Brennan froze in mid step towards the door, when he suddenly remembered Lex. He too had been captured. Brennan turned to Shal, "Shal, don't let it change back yet. I still gotta do some thing. Owe and guys. The room will have to be the way it was before we got here. Some one might notice the difference".

He took off towards the door, not waiting for the others to answer. He let the feral search out for lex, and instead, ran full sprint into Creed. He went flying forwards and Brennan dropped on the floor where he'd been standing. His chest immediately protested and stung, already going numb from some earlier torture.

Brennan heard a loud intake of breath come out of Creed as he was threw forwards, due to the force of the shove, and he fell off balance, before slamming to the floor. Creed grunted and suddenly Brennan saw the tension in Creed start to make his body shake with rage. Creed swung his head around as he started to climb up, "WHY DONT YOU WATCH! -". When he realised it was Brennan, a smile spread on his face, and he climbed to his feet in a flash. Brennan did the same as he expected a sudden assault, but Creed stood smiling.

"You know Mr Mulwray... I really wanted to fight you when you could use your powers. Eckhart wouldn't allow it. He thought I would injure you too badly and then you'd never talk. But here you are... and now I get my chance. Owe and just in case you're wondering about my power, I can accelerate my speed, so just to warn you Mulwray".

Brennan allowed his muscles to tense as Creed told him his ability. But some hidden voice in Brennan snickered away. 'He thinks he knows I can throw energy. But he doesn't know the others and me have had our powers changed', and suddenly, a smirk lit Brennan's face.

Brennan sighed as the feral's hold on him grew stronger, and more deeper. He picked up on Creed excitement to be fighting him, but also picked up on some weariness. But creed didn't seem to take in any thing else except for the thought of beating Brennan. Brennan raised his hands so he would be in a boxing stance, but Creed didn't wait for him to get into the stance properly. He sprung forwards towards Brennan, already using his speed. Brennan felt a fist lung into his stomach and he doubled over from the blow. Pain was ripping into the small area, which increased with each breath he took. He clutched the area with both hands, and fought the urge to throw up. The punch had done so much damage, and it made Brennan shiver with anger when he heard Creed laughter ripple down the corridor they were in.

He stood up to his feet, still hunched a bit because of his stomach. He steadied his breath and allowed the feral to let its senses over power every thing else. He knew that if he was quiet enough, he'd be able to intercept any of Creed's attacks.

Another blow hit him in the chest, this time knocking him down. He grunted and quickly sat up as pain was forgotten due to anger. He stood up and closed his eyes... waiting.

He felt the air in front of his face shift, and through his hand up, to surprisingly catch Creed's foot. Creed stumbled a bit as Brennan held onto his foot. He looked at Brennan with a shocked expression that only demanded to know what had happened.

Brennan quickly kicked out Creed's other leg before he could retaliate, and Creed dropped with a loud thud, followed by a grunt of pain. With his foot loose, Creed tried to climb to his feet to use his speed. He succeeding in rising, but was once again landed heavily to the floor by Brennan's punch. Creed rolled and was up in seconds.

He used his speed and dodged all of Brennan's attack's, which just missed. Creed was growing even more confused when Brennan continued to throw fast and dangerous punches that if hit, would no doubt leave Creed with a mark to last for weeks.

Creed visibly jumped when a wall was suddenly pushed up behind him. He tensed and tried to continue to defence against the wall. But being held against the wall and nowhere to move, not to mention his range of defence suddenly shortened due to the wall, he was quickly losing.

Brennan was deliberately throwing his punches and kicks, to back Creed into the wall. He knew that Creed wouldn't be able to bloke to well if he couldn't have the area to do it.

Brennan through a heavy right huck, which hit home and Creed, stumbled, but in the stumble, he had fell away from the wall. He tried to jump back up and throw a quickly kick, but Brennan ducked underneath it, used the wall as a spring and threw a another kick, that was too high for Creed to block. The kick, knocked Creed off his feet, and his whole body went flying, head first into the wall. Creed slowly slid down it and crumbled to the floor.

Brennan dropped easily to his feet, and allowed a smile to spread across his face. He turned and wiped his hands off, and not 10 feet from him stood Lex.

Brennan suddenly felt the need to explain, but Lex quickly held up his hand, "No, don't try and explain. He was looking for me so I should be grateful you took him out. Where are the others"?

He seemed to take notice of the mark on Brennan's cheek, but didn't concern him self with it.

Brennan quickly pulled Lex along, "come on, we need to go find them and get out of here". Lex nodded. "So what's going on... are you guys like Clark". Brennan didn't stop running but lowered his speed so he was level with Lex. "How'd you know about Clark"? Lex shrugged and smiled, "hey, we're best friends... so where are we going". Brennan quickly took the lead and led him to Lionel's office. But a thought quickly crossed his mind when they reached it, 'how is he gonna react... his dad's about to die'.

When they both entered, the others were still waiting in the room. Nothing had returned back to normal yet since they'd been waiting for him. They all moved away from the scene and walked out the door, where they could come in later. When the moment was right.

Shalimar was last to leave, and when she did, as she closed the door, before it fully closed she swished her hands and the door gave a click as it had closed fully.

They heard the scene playing out. But Brennan was waiting for the right moment, listening with his feral hearing. Eckhart's men all murmuring to them selves. Eckhart was talking to Lionel and Derek shifting about in the corner. When there came a low click noise, and then a few words off Eckhart, 'what is going on' Brennan nodded to the others and Shalimar reopened the door, not freezing every thing this time.

Eckhart was pointing a gun at Lionel, while all of Eckhart's men quickly glanced at the unexpected guests. When the agents realised who it was, all raised there guns and Brennan heard a quick gasp come from Derek in the corner.

The agents all pulled the triggers on their guns, but looked curiously at their guns when no bullets came out. Emma smiled and flickered her wrist, smashing all the agents into the wall behind them. Derek sprung up to his feet as best he could while trying not to fall over in the process.

Brennan didn't need to used his senses to know the others were just coming down the corridor that led to the office they were in, since the shouts of protest from the agents was heard easily by all.

Shalimar walked back to the door, and opened it just in time to see Willow drop an agent to the floor. Willow saw Shalimar and shouted back to the others, "hey guys, this way".

Shalimar held the door open as Willow, Nina and Eddy all filled in, dropping the rest of the agents that cluttered the hall.

When they all stepped in, Willow ran straight to Derek and easily yanked the restraints clean off his wrists. Brennan and Shalimar both felt a smile spread on their faces as Derek and Willow both hugged each other.

A roar of commotion made them all jump. Shalimar still held the door open and when she stepped back, all of them could see a load of agents running down the corridor. Shalimar quickly slammed the door and looked back at the others on what to do now. Jesse and Adam quickly grabbed a near by desk and pushed it up against the door. Brennan turned to see Eckhart moving towards the far wall behind Lionel's desk, but Lionel sat staring at them from the floor.

Derek jumped in Eckhart way, and Eckhart stumbled back like Derek had some sort of disease. Derek grabbed him by the collar and allowed the rage in him to visibly be seen in his eyes as he drew Eckharts face close to his raging eyes. Eckhart shied away again, like seeing them eyes would scar him.

Adam quickly tapped Derek's arm, "Derek don't, we may have a way out of here". Adam turned to Lionel who was lying on the floor holding his hand. "Lionel... is there another way out of this room". After a glance at Eckhart and his holder, he turned and saw Brennan leaning dangerously over him. He nodded, "A hidden door, that leads to a fire escape... you are taking me with you aren't you?"

Lex knelt down to his father, and rapped a handkerchief around his hand to help stop the bleeding. Brennan knew no matter what Lionel had done, Lex would always think of him as his father. But that didn't mean he had to like it.

Nina quickly spoke up, "Well we can't leave you here for Eckhart's agents to finish you off. That would just be... inhuman of us". She had a glint in her eyes that made Lionel quickly look towards Adam who nodded, "We're not leaving you, but we're not leaving Eckhart either". Derek smiled as Eckhart gave Adam a quick glance of fear.

Adam walked behind the desk and started to look for a switch. Lex helped Lionel stand and Lionel quickly pulled the switch to the light next to the wall. Suddenly, a door slid open automatically, with light shining through the other side.

Adam motioned for Willow to go first, since she would be able to anticipate any suddenly surprise attacks that may be sprung. After a few moments, her voice drifted back to them.
"It's all clear guys. Come on".

Adam and Jesse stepped through, followed by Derek who shoved Eckhart continually through and down the passage. Lex and Lionel soon followed and then Shal and Brennan.

When they all got to the end, Lionel pointed to a control pad on the wall. He told them the number to enter, and another door slid open, revealing a long fire escape that lead down to the ground.

They all ascended it, trying not to make too much noise since the GSA agents were chasing them. Eckhart tried to talk some 'sense' as he called it, into Derek, but only received a quickly jolt of a shove.

They all reached the bottom and started to move away from the building. Jesse teleported off with Eddy as they went to go get there cars. Lex ran off after handing his father over to Brennan, who didn't try to protest since they didn't have enough time.

Lex was first back, bringing his car around and Lionel quickly slipped into the back seat.

He went to signal to the others to get in but they all declined. Derek gave Brennan a quick glance as Lionel stared at his building. Brennan returned the look, also wanting to make Lionel pay for what he'd done. But in some way, he already was. Adam wouldn't have entered a high tec building with out at least getting into the system. There was a virus running through all the files and Brennan was relieved when the cars came.

Brennan sat in the back with Emma and Shal as Adam took the passenger seat. Willow, Derek and Nina climbed into the other car, Derek still dragging Eckhart.

Brennan turned to look at the building, and sighed as a weight lifted off his shoulders. They were going away from that place, and held two high-ranking people in their hold.

Lex's car was leading away from the place.

They all stopped as soon as the had reached the outer boarder of the town SmallVille. Lex left his father in the car to talk with Adam, who to Brennan's surprise handed Lex a disk. Brennan concentrated on reading his lips.

"This is enough evidence to put your father away for life Lex. Now you have the choice to use it since we are leaving". Lex nodded and took the disk before saying, "I will" and went back to his car where his unsuspecting father waited. Lex drove off towards the town, while Adam asked the others to follow him to the beach house.

When they all arrived and went into the house, Brennan was relived to see the place looked like its usual self. Shalimar tapped his arm, and as he turned she pressed some cloth against his cheek. He quickly pulled away as the small bruise felt like it swelled from the cloth. His nose filled with the smell of disinfectant, and Adam quickly gave him one to press to his cheek. After a second of Adam's stare, Brennan crunched his eyes, and pressed the cloth to the damaged area. He hissed as the solution went to work cleaning the wound.

Derek and Willow both pushed Eckhart in as they entered, and he went flying towards the sofa, where he landed in an unordinary position. He grunted and gave a start of protest that was quickly silence when Derek quickly swung towards Eckhart, but with Willow holding his arm in a flash, the attack never struck.

Derek gave Eckhart a sneer before following the others into the other room. Nina and Eddy had both volunteered to keep watch on there capture, while Adam and the others all went into the back of the house, that lead to the trees out side. They all stood waiting, talking to them selves, but silenced when Shalimar reappeared from inside the house, dragging Sifer with her.

Brennan looked back at Adam, as confusion stuck a nerve of slight fear in him, "Adam... what's going on?"

Adam didn't answer him, as he was busy in unwrapping a bundle of some thing Brennan quickly recognised. It was the blade.

Ok. I might have dragged that out a bit.

But the next chapter will most likely end it. So I'll try and end it good.

The reviews are great, keep sending them in please.
