The raw fury that was emanating from Eleven was all encompassing, her eyes glowed an icy blue, the glow travelled down her face lighting up her veins as they traversed her body, spreading to every corner before running down her arms and into her hands. She gazed down to her hands as they too glowed an ominous blue. She could feel the power in her fingertips.
She felt powerful, strong, maybe even invincible. All her life her powers had plagued her, people only ever wanted to use her for her powers, to make her subservient to them. But now? Now she welcomed them, Now she saw them as her ally, Now she silently consented to the tendrils tempting her to commit bloodshed. She could still barely see the retreating vans as they scurried away from her. Her arm raised slowly, pointing her outstretched hand towards the nearest van before closing her fingers into a tight fist.
The van began to groan in protest as the metal began to crumple in upon itself, oil from the burst gas tank now spilled over the floor, gushing like blood out of a grievous wound, before she released the van as it fell to the floor with an almighty crash, the men inside struggled to free themselves from the metal cage they had now found themselves in. Eleven felt no sorrow for them as she sent a bolt of energy from her enraged body. Anger transformed into a pure electrifying energy that pulsated towards its target.
The oil beneath them ignited as the bolt made contact, heating the metal from without, like that of a brazen bull, the occupants found themselves being cooked alive within their metal cage, being slowly cooked alive. Eleven walked past with purpose not bothering to put the men out of their misery as they screamed, screamed as their skin melted from their bodies.
All that was left was the charred bodies, black smoke had risen to the sky like a omen of death as eleven strode with purpose towards Mikes signature presence within her mind, the tendrils reaching out to Mike, soothing his presence as it whimpered against hers, she could feel the flayed nerves of his from being stunned, her anger turned to one of lust for vengeance on those who dared to hurt Mike.
Dr Brenner watched as the two guards carelessly threw Mike into one of the rooms underneath the lab, its walls as bare as the mans soul, its walls of a dull white, Mike groaned in pain as he hit the cold hard floor, Mike turned over to sit with his back against the wall, not enough energy for him to even climb up onto the sorry excuse for a bed.
He closed his eyes and thought of Eleven, the girl that he had fallen in love with, he hoped she fled, she had to stay safe no matter what, he reached out to her with his mind knowing that she might be able to hear him through the void, he begged with her to stay away, keep herself safe but all he received was a cold and eerie silence, nothing, not even an acknowledgment. Just a deafening silence
The door to his cell opened and two guards stepped inside, followed by Dr Brenner, both of them starred each other down, Mike felt pure hatred engulf him as he looked upon the man that had been the cause of El's suffering for the first twelve years of her life, Dr Brenner spoke quietly yet Mike could every poison laced word that came rolled off of his forked tongue.
"Call out to her, Michael" Brenner said softly, however his eyes communicated the unspoken threat.
Mike laughed hollowly "You really think I would betray her like that?" Mike said
"You will call out to her, one way or the other, you don't have a choice in the matter" Brenner said, he gave a moment for Mike to comply but was met with a stony silence
"I will never betray her, never" Mike spat.
Brenner looked almost regretful? "Very Well" he nodded to one of the guards, before Mike knew what happened the guard's fist had collided with his stomach, Mike cough and spluttered as the wind was knocked out of him.
He held his stomach before looking up to Brenner's vicious eyes.
"Go fuck yourself" Mike said defiantly
"That I cannot do, although You and Eleven have some experience in that don't you" Brenner said with a sickening smile, Mike felt to keep his composure, the greatest night of his life being used against him and it was making his blood boil
"oh yes, I know about that" Brenner said "really I should thank you Michael, you and her have established a connection, you are like a beacon to her, like a moth to the flame" Brenner said "When we took you, it drew her out almost instantly, she'll be coming for you"
Mike looked at the silver haired man, trying to detect any sort of bluff, there wasn't one, his eyes cast themselves down to the floor, he felt like he was going to be sick, if it were true, it would be his fault for her recapture. He looked back to Brenner who had a smug smile, so self-assured of his own victory.
"Go. Fuck. Yourself" Mike repeated and then faster than anyone would have thought possible Mike had lunged towards Brenner, his fist made a satisfying sound as it made contact with Brenner's jaw. The force of the blow forced Brenner to take a step backwards. The guard sent another punch to Mikes stomach, twice as hard, causing Mike to keel over. Pain. All he felt was pain.
Brenner wiped his split lip with a handkerchief that he withdrew from his top breast pocket.
"Let's see if we can hasten her arrival" Brenner said coldly, the guards nodded before each of them in turn would punch and kick Mike in various places on his body, his face, his stomach, his chest, his back. Fists, feet and Tazers were all Mike could feel. Blood flew freely from his nose and mouth as the barrage never stopped.
Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain.
Only mere miles away a girl screamed as she felt the pain of the one she loved.
She could feel his suffering because she was suffering too.
Pain. Something she knew all too well.
They had sealed their fate.
