Prodigy – Chapter 4
Ok everyone I know it has been a long time and I hope you all still read my stuff. Here is the new chapter of this story, which is a personal favourite of mine lol. So read and review!
Note: Brady is mine, but everything else is not.
Brady was shocked to the core. His parents, alive? It wasn't possible, but Brady's' hopes overruled what the logical part of his brain was telling him. His parents clearly weren't real. Psy was merely projecting the image of them into Brady's mind so that it would be easier to coerce the youth into doing what Eckhart wanted.
"Now Brady, if you work for me, and complete one simple task, I'll release you and your parents together and you will never hear from me again." Eckhart said, clearly lying through his teeth but Brady simply didn't care.
"Yeh whatever you want, just give me my family back!" Brady practically begged. Eckhart smiled. He couldn't see Psys' projection but knew it was completely real to Brady.
"All you need to do; is destroy Mutant X. Kill them all and I'll let you and your parents go, simple as that." Eckhart said sweetly, his voice dripping with the promise of things that weren't meant to be. Brady looked to Eckhart with and innocent smile playing across his lips.
"Your offer is generous without doubt, but I'll take my friends over your projections any day!" Brady said. Brady focused with all his strength to generate a sonic bubble; he channelled that much power that his sub-dermal governor overloaded, effectively becoming useless. Now that he had access to his powers again, he ripped through his restraints as if they were paper, not strengthened titanium. Eckhart looked visibly shaken by this. For once he was actually afraid that his life was going to end in the very foreseeable future. Brady reabsorbed the sonic energy he had created, his eyes shining white; he wasn't just a feral or a molecular anymore. He was something new altogether.
"Don't worry Eckhart, I wont hurt you, not too much anyway," Brady vanished…then appeared the same instant next to Eckhart, who had been behind a window. Brady smiled as Eckhart levitated into the air.
"There' no need to be…aggressive Mr Duff, I think we can be reasonable here." Eckhart croaked out, his neck felt like it was being slowly squeezed. Brady laughed at that, shaking the whole room.
"Why Mr Eckhart, I haven't even begun to get aggressive yet!" The voice echoed in Eckhart's mind, sending shivers down his spine, he was truly flabbergasted. This mutant wasn't a Psionic nor did he have any form of instant teleportation.
"Your time has not yet come you bastard, but someday, I'll be back for you," Brady said chillingly. Eckhart flew back into a wall, crumpled unconscious on the ground and Brady disappeared in a flash of white light.
Brennan was dreaming, in the three days since Brady had disappeared, this was the first time he had slept long enough to even begin dreaming (I'm pretty sure that is 45 minutes, correct me if I'm wrong) He was dreaming about Brady and the last time Brennan had seen him. Brennan loved Brady like a brother and it killed him not being able to protect his brother, not that Brady needed defending of course. He knew Jesse and Shalimar were coping just as bad as he was, but Brennan felt even worse because he was the leader, it was his job to watch the family, and he had failed.
"Brennan, wake up bro, I'm here" A voice called on the non-existent wind. Brennan woke quickly; there was no one in his dark room, except him. Just as Brennan was closing his eyes, there was a flash of brilliant white light, and a figure was sat on the end of his bed. The lights turned on by themselves and the figured was revealed to be Brady…more or less. His hair was dirty blonde instead of brown/almost black. His eyes had lost their deep blue beauty and were a deep purple, he also looked older; his face had matured and he looked much more muscular, his shoulders were broader.
"Brady? How did you? Where did that?" Brennan was so overwhelmed all he could do was through himself at Brady, taking his little brother into a hug and weeping hard. 10 minutes later the hug was broken and Brennan looked at the changes his friend had taken on.
"You dyed your hair, it suits you," Brennan said, running his hand through Brady's hair affectionately. Brady just laughed at that. It only then struck Brennan that Brady had made a somewhat unusual entrance.
"Brady, how the hell did you get here, you've never done that glowy thing before?" Brady looked at Brennan, his purple eyes shining in the light.
"I don't know Brennan, Eckhart had me, convinced me my parents were alive and everything, and something happened. I saw right through his trick and I destroyed the governor, it was all so easy. I felt…ethereal almost, like nothing was out of reach, like my powers had opened up endless possibilities, and I think they have. I can move things with my mind, and as you saw I moved myself through space like it wasn't even there. It's freaky, but I feel so calm and in control and I feel, older, but I don't think I am, well I hope I'm not anyway." Brady said, his eyes twinkling, "Come on, let's go see the other two," Brady said.
So let me know what you think guys, should I keep going?
