Chaosmaster95: I know it was disgusting but there was a reason for it and I wanted to show how far Paul will go.

Chapter 5: Two of the same

That weird moment when you wake up and you have no idea where you are, that even weirder moment when you realise what happened, when you realise how you got there. Dave woke up in a rather nice hotel room. He slithered out of the bed and explored the room. He opened up the wardrobe only to find a found a pair of trousers and a shirt that he put on. He looked around the room but couldn't find anything that could help him, it was just an ordinary hotel room. Dave walked over to a stack of photos on the desk, he looked through them and had to try not to flip out. There was then a click at the door, Dave looked at it and got ready to fight whoever came in.

"They got the sizes right...They are good." Paul said as he walked in. He pointed at the black trousers and white shirt Dave was wearing. Paul was wearing a purple suit that had been custom made for him. His eyes were still bloodshot though, he doubted they would return to normal.

"You took her body and stuffed it into Mindys suit? That's far even for you." Dave said as he looked at the photo. He was disgusted, he truly was.

"What can I say? I wanted to send a message." Paul said as he sniggered at Daves curly hair.

"What? That you like Silence of the Lambs?" Dave said. This little joke made Paul chuckle a little but not to much, he was still finding the large curly hair amusing.

"It's a never ending cycle. The hero rises and fights but then they just die...You replace them and that hero dies as well. I was your replacement and she was Mindys...Looks like you sent another person to the grave." Paul mocked as he waved his hands in the air, trying to make them look like a cycle.

"I didn't kill Mindy." Dave protested but Paul didn't care, he gave him that blank look.

"Oh but you DID. You left her, you left her to fend for herself and she fell...Further than anyone has fallen." Paul yelled at Dave as he walked closer to the hero. Dave clenched his fists but not hitting him.

"So you're punishing me?" Dave asked.

"No, I'm teaching you that the life you have chosen is wrong...I am going to kill every hero, every villain and every inbetween that I can find." Paul said as he took out a collection of photos from his pocket. He handed them to Dave, they were of people who were dressing up as crime fighters or criminals and the ones who had retired. Dave recognised a few of them, some of them he genuinely cared about.

"I am going to kill you." Dave said as he handed the photos back to Paul.

"Come and get me." Paul said as he turned around and walked out of the room.

Carrie was walking through Chamberlaine, she still absolutely hated it and they hated her. To them, all she ever brought was death and destruction. She walked up to the old school that she destroyed and couldn't help but remember those days, the laughing in the back of her head was becoming louder but she managed to push it down.

"You came then? I didn't think you would." Rachel said as she walked up behind her. They were both wearing similar black coats that covered their entire bodies. The difference was, was that Carrie chose to wear a grey scarf.

"Nothing like reliving old memories is there?" Carrie said as she looked back at the school and pushed the memories down even further.

"I'm glad you came, we can have some family bonding time...You know? Like we never got." Rachel said as she laughed. Carrie knew that she was being mocked by Rachel but didn't care at this point.

"We both know that's not why I'm here." Carrie said and Rachel's smile disappeared as she looked at something behind Carrie.

"No...Not at all." Rachel said, now sounding serious.

"Hello Carrie." Stephen said. He was standing in front of the school, Carrie swung around to see him and was now stood in between the two.

"Why are you here?" Carrie said. She was going to hit him, she really wanted to but she couldn't draw any attention to herself.

"We need to talk." Stephen said. He was wearing his pitch black suit which really drew attention to the grey in his hair.

"No, get away from me." Carrie said as she stepped away from the two.

"Carrie, listen to me..." Stephen said as he took a step forward, lifting up his foot but stopping there.

"Why? Why should I even listen to you? After everything you've done?" Carrie said as she made Stephen stand where he stood, not able to move.

"I get it. My sins out way my good deeds but I need you to trust me or at least try. There is a man, a monster who has somehow crawled out of the shadows and he is coming for us all." Stephen explained but Carrie did not care, she couldn't even see the fear on his face.

"Let me guess? Someone you knew?" Carrie asked.

"Someone I killed but...Carrie, we need to work together." Stephen admitted reluctantly.

"No." Carrie yelled bluntly.

"Carrie, you're still my daughter and I love you. You just, you just need to trust me." Stephen said as he tried to assure his daughter but it didn't work.

"Leave me alone." Carrie said as she went to leave.

"Carrie, someone is coming for you...You need to understand what is happening." Stephen tried to explained but there was nothing he could do.

"What is happening is that my father who has tried to kill me several times now and now..That someone is coming to kill you, you need my help." Carrie argued, she was practically screaming at Stephen at this point.

"Carrie...Where is Alex Ross?" Stephen asked as he took a step closer to her. Carrie tried to stop him with her powers but it wasn't working, he just kept moving.

"Why would I tell you?" Carrie asked as he got closer to her, reaching for her arm and grabbing it.

"No particular reason but...I don't want to do it the other way." Stephen said as he tightened his grip.

"Go to hell." Carrie said as she pulled away.

"Give me time." Stephen said as he watched his daughter walk away.

Carrie was trying to get away from them as fast as she could but in her rush she walked out in front of a man riding a bicycle and they clashed. Carrie fell to the ground as watched as the man on the bicycle continued to ride, unharmed by the event. Carrie felt a little weak all of a sudden, her energy was being pulled from her and her eyes being forced shut. As her vision got blurry she noticed Stephen walk towards her and then she fell unconscious.

Alex was resting at a hotel room that Sue had rented out for the two. He was still injured from his fight with Nemesis but was recovering rather quickly. Sue was sat in the corner and typing away on her computer. She looked at him as he started to make noises, he must have been having a bad dream. A message on her computer came up notifying her that Carrie had been taken.

Sue remembered that Carrie had a tracker on her so that if she was taken, the others would know where she was. She didn't want to be taken, that was worse case scenario. The plan was, was to try and go to the meeting and find out what was going on. Sue had no idea what to do now but all she knew was, was that they may have found out where the Fraternity is hiding.

Stephen was back at the hotel. He was sat in the dining hall with Kathleen and was looking forward to dinner. He had put Carrie in one of the rooms and was hoping that she would be awake soon.

"So I tried to salsa class. The teacher seemed inexperienced but it was enjoyable. Between you and me though, she kept eyeing up one of the guests. You should come to these classes sometime, they're really good." Kathleen explained. She seemed to be enjoying herself, she went on a class every day of the week to keep herself entertained.

"Not really my thing." Stephen said as started to tap his index finger onto the side of his glass.

"What happened?" Kathleen asked, recognising that, that was his tick when he was stressed.

"My sins may be finally catching up with me. I think it's time I try and get an actual relationship with my daughter or...Both of them." Stephen admitted. It was true, he did really want a relationship with both his daughters and his son which was a complete mess at the moment.

"What sins?" Kathleen asked.

"Remember when I was in the army? I was sent on that mission where I was gone for a few years, you remember?" Stephen asked. He remembered those years, he still had nightmares about being stuck in the desert for a few weeks and the things he had to do to survive.

"You were in Afghanistan, tracking an arms dealer." Kathleen explained.

"It turns out my work was never finished." Ralph said as he stared at his glass.

"So what are you going to do?" Kathleen asked. Stephen looked up to see Carrie walk up to him, she was wearing the shirt and jeans she had on before just minus the coat and carefully walked through the dining hall.

"Carrie, how are you? I'll get you a menu." Stephen said as he snapped his fingers and a chair from another table moved over to theirs. Carrie sat down at the table and stared at him for a moment

"Have we already ordered?" Rachel asked as she walked over to the table and sat down, producing her own chair from another table.

"Just waiting on your brother now." Stephen said as he smiled at Carrie who just stared back at him with the eyes filled with hatred.
