Chapter 92

John followed Tony down the hall to Brad's bedroom. Bryan had already went back and inside after getting them. They reached the door. Tony looked back at John and very slowly and cautiously opened it. They went inside.

"Oh shit!" John proclaimed. Brad and Jack were facing each other in the middle of the room. All different kinds of light were bouncing off the walls. All John could do was shake his head and stare. Tony watched the two men in the middle of the room but then got nervous. "What the hell was wrong with Brad now," he thought but didn't say anything for a few minutes.

"Son of a bitch," he said finally, as his eyes scanned the room. They focused on the body that was lying unconscious by the far wall. "Bryan!" yelled Tony but stayed where he was. He didn't know what to do. He needed to get to Bryan but he wasn't sure about the lights or who was controlling them right now.

"Jack," he said anxiously. "I need to get to my partner." Jack continued to face Brad who didn't seem to know that anybody else was even in the room. "You can fight this Brad. Come on. Fight the control." Jack stood his ground.

"Jack," said Tony once again.

"Go get him," said Jack. After one more look around, Tony made his way carefully across the room. He tried his best to stay away from the lights. He knelt down by his partner. "Bryan," he said. He rolled him over on his back. "Wake up." Tony patted his cheek to try to get him to come to. "I need help," he said when he wouldn't wake up. John carefully made his way over and both he and Tony picked Bryan up and carried him out into the hall.

"We need to help," said John as he gazed inside the room. Jack and Brad were still at it.

"We can't John," said Tony. "They're using magic. We'd be no match."

"Well we need to do something," replied John.

"We'd get hurt John. Jack is the only one that can reach Brad right now. He's the only one that would stand a chance." John looked in the room. The lights were lazily floating all over the place. He shook his head once again and just waited. He hoped that Jack could reach his brother. If not, he just didn't know what would happen.

Inside the room Jack faced off with Brad. He had to reach him. "Fight the control Brad. Let me in." He could see that Brad was struggling to hold it together. He looked like he was in pain, and Jack didn't really know what to do. He'd come in to check on him. When he touched him, Brad sprang up and shoved him back. Bryan had come back in the room after going to get the others. He saw that Jack was having a hard time reaching him and tried to help. Next thing he knew Brad had threw him across the room. Jack had rushed over and stood in front of Bryan. Now he was trying to reach his brother before Nemesis controlled him completely. The immortal was actually trying to get Brad back on the other plane so that he could attack him there. Jack was trying his best to keep him here.

"Brad I need you to stay in this time and place," he said. "If Nemesis get's you back there right now, you'll be destroyed." He only hoped that the part of Brad that was trying to fight was able to win. If not Jack knew that he'd loose his brother tonight. That wasn't acceptable. No way was he going to allow Nemesis to destroy him. No way in hell.

Outside the room, Bryan was just coming to. "Hey," said Tony and knelt back down to him. Bryan looked at his partner and grinned.

"Hey," he said.

"Are you okay," asked Tony?

"Yeah I think so," said Bryan. "Are you?" Tony nodded and quickly looked him over to make sure.

"What happened?"

"Jack had said that when Brad astral projected, the Immortal gained a portal into his head. Apparently Nemesis must have hit him with his power when he wasn't in his body. It gave him an opening. I saw the lights and came to get you guys.. When I saw that Brad was hurting I tried to help. He threw me across the room." Bryan looked up at a worried Tony and finished. "He threw me with his mind Tony."

"Brad can't move things with his mind," said Tony.

"He can now," said Bryan. Tony shook his head. John kept looking for Sam and Dean. He kept watching for them to join him. When they didn't he got nervous. Tony was also getting nervous.

"Where are they," he asked John, reading his mind.

"I don't know," said John and got to his feet. "I'm going to go see if they're still in the room." He made his way back down the hall. Tony stayed with Bryan and Jack was still trying to reach his brother.

"Let me in Brad," said Jack telepathically. "I'll help you fight if you let me in." Brad just stared. He heard what Jack was saying but part of him wouldn't let him.

"Stay here Brad. Don't let Nemesis win. We can destroy him but I need your help." He looked up. "Can I touch one of the lights?" Brad nodded. "It won't hurt you," he said. "I don't want to hurt you." He brought one down until it hovered above Jack's hands. Suddenly his body arched, and the lights flew around the room like bright stars.

"Shit!" said Jack and instinctively ducked. The lights began to whistle shrilly and pulse blood red.

"Let me in Brad," said Jack nervously. "Let me help you. Open you're mind and let me in! Close the spell! Make the lights stop!"

"Something's here," said Brad. "It's come to hunt. To feed. He's come back. One times three."

"BRAD," yelled Jack. Lights flew past his face as he tried his best to reach his brother. "Close the spell Brad! Let me in! I want you to close the spell and stay in this time and in this place. Listen to me!" Suddenly Brad's face took on the characteristics of a wolf and Jack knew that Nemesis was there.

"I'm bringing him back," said Jack. He gripped shoulders that were no longer his brother's. "You have no right to take him!"

"He is mine now Jack. He should have never astral projected,' said Nemesis. "He should have come back when you called him. He's mine now."

"The hell he is," said Jack. Outside the room Tony helped Bryan to his feet and they were about to come inside to help. "NO!" yelled Jack. "Stay out!" He turned back to the Immortal. "Brad open up! Let me in! Damn it Brad pay attention! Focus on my voice! On my voice, not his!" It took all of Jack's control to keep his voice calm.

"I'll kill him Jack," said Nemesis. "I am going to kill him. You're going to loose your brother tonight. Mark my word. I bring death. I crave it."

"You won't get it," said Jack. "Open up Brad! Hurry!" Somewhere in the farthest depth of Brad's mind, he heard Jack's voice in his head. While he was still able to he opened his mind. Quickly Jack entered. Together he and Brad fought Nemesis for control. Both were getting exhausted. Jack screamed. He and Brad concentrated together and pushed Nemesis out. Brad became Brad again, and Jack fell to the ground.

Nemesis screamed in rage and turned to look at Tony and Bryan. "Where are the brothers," he said meaning Sam and Dean. He grinned menacingly and turned to Jack who was still down. Brad also went down on all fours because he had gotten very weak. The lights stopped. Brad closed the spell. "You'll never see them again, at least not alive," said Nemesis and disappeared.

"NO!" yelled Jack and went over to help Brad up. Together with Tony and Bryan, they ran down the hall to where Sam and Dean had been. John came out. His face was ashen. "They're not here," he said.

"What," asked Jack astonished.

"They're not here," Jack said again. "He's taken them. He's taken my boys." Tony and Bryan looked in the room. Jack and a very shaky Brad looked all over the second floor, but had no luck.

"That bastard has my kids!" said John and sat down on the bed in what had been Sam and Dean's room. He placed his head in his hands and prayed.
