Brennan entered the lab, making sure his jacket covered all his neck, and any other part he wanted it to.
When he entered Adam was typing, as if searching for word on the computer. So he waited.
Finally Adam turned, smiling and both them knowing it was fake. He walked towards him and gestured for him to sit down. When they both sat down, Adam again struggled for words.
“ I…we, I just want to, apologise, about before. You weren’t ready and I still pushed you into it”.
“ No Adam, it was bound to come up eventually…I just hoped not yet. Any way enough about the past, Shal, me and a few of the others were hoping to go out tonight…can we”. He almost taunted him self at how he was asking.
It was almost like being back at school.
‘Please sir, can we have our ball back’.
Adam smile came back, “ Of course, just as long as non of you use your powers in public and try not to draw too much attention to your selves”.
Brennan got up and went to the door, “ Adam, Shalimar’s coming, how can she not draw attention”.
He laughed as Adam pointed a finger at him and he ran to where the others were to tell them the good news.
He got to Shalimar who was sitting with Emma, in the garden.
He felt a lot better, and the feeling seemed to radiate off him. The two of them looked towards him, but Brennan thought it was strange when they started to run towards him.
Then…darkness, and again the shadow was standing over his aged 8 form, that was lying on the floor of his cell. Dark eyes staring down at him.
A deep voice boomed in his ears and echoed off the walls. “ Get up!”
He crutched his ribs and sat up before bravely climbing to his full height. The figure walked towards him and grabbed his shoulder. Brennan felt like he was testing to see if it fell off, by the way he was pulling, he hoped not.
The figure stepped back, satisfied his arm was not injured and started to circle him. Brennan did what came natural with this demon that haunted him every day, he tenses and started down, to prevent beating.
Brennan soon found that lesson to be very rewording; his reward was no further injuries.
Another person stepped into the cell, more familiar to be the guard to his cell. He grabbed his arms and pushing him out the cell.
Brennan didn’t need routine to know where he was going; every shove was more urgent than the other, pushing him on to the room.
When he entered, there were others there. He was shoved towards a group and told to stay there. And what he faintly heard coming from the door that lay ahead, he felt his heart being hammered down to his feet.
Childs screams were what woke him at night, and praising god that he was not in that room.
Children looked towards him, as if hoping for some fight to raise from him like usual and in some way help them all escape their tormentor’s grasp. But he was too tired, and hurting with every inch of muscle that wasn’t trained in him.
He looked up and sore the main shadow, the one that took pleasure in seeing him out of them all suffer.
The one who was always there when agents beat him to the ground, the one who always stood, the only person in the room, who would smile when he was attacked.
He felt the usual anger flicker with his inner fire, and his eyes, suddenly felt like they were blazing with it. Every inch screamed, ‘ HE IS THE ONE COURSING ALL THE PAIN…ALL THE FEAR!”
He was grabbed by the arm, and no success by his protests, he did what he was trained to do. His left leg, suddenly bounced up off the floor, and swinging round to kick the guard that held him on his right, smashing right into the mans solarplexis and leaving the man stumbling for breath.
He took his chance and advanced on the other guard, taking him down with a swift spin kick to the head.
He looked back up to the window; the man was smiling, eyes that dug into him and his very soul. A quick and cold shiver ran along his spine so he quickly looked away. His tiredness needed to be forgotten, and another emotion would have to flare his strength.
He and other children made a break for the door, but other agents were quickly filling up the room.
The last he sore was the mans face, staring down at him, eyes piercing his hopes and sending back into the darkness of being unconscious.
He woke in his cell again, finding he was not alone. She was sitting calling his name. Her face was blurred, and her voice as well.
He tried calling out to her, but she was gracefully fading away. His eyes fluttered.
“Reign…”
Shalimar was sitting calling him, her face finally morphing and her voice to his recognition. “ Brennan…its Shalimar, are you ok”.
Hesat up suddenly aware. “ Shalimar”. He said a bit confused. She nodded and helped him sit up; Emma was there as well Jesse, and Adam.
Adam flashed a light in his eyes, and annoyance once again soon set in.
“ Brennan, how long have you been having these, dream like states”.
Brennan looked at him, finally getting back to reality. “ Having what?”
A sigh from Adam signalled that wasn’t good. “ These dreams’ or memories”. He shook his head, feeling Shalimar grip his hand and urging him on, he confessed.
“Since I sore the file in the lab”.
Adam nodded, “ It must have set off a chain reaction…do you always loose consciousness?”
Brennan awaited for the answer to come, “…I don’t…know. All I remember is the images.”
“ How many times have you had them now”.
“ I don’t know, more than once”. Adam sighed again, “ What’s wrong with him Adam”. Shalimar gripped his hand tighter, as if fearing it was serious.
“ I believe that these memories are being triggered, not by the file he sore, but by Reign her self”.
“Reign!” If Brennan didn’t know any better, he could have swore Shal was Jealous by the way the name flowed away from her mouth.
“ Yes she was a girl who was with Brennan at Genomex”. “ A girl!” Shalimar looked towards him while Adam explained the rest to Jesse and Emma.
“ Were you two…anything”?
Brennan felt his heart being pulled; he looked down towards her hand and squeeze back, “ …no. We just looked out for one another”.
He sore the relief that crossed over her and smiled, “ are you coming out with me tonight then, to a club”. Suddenly Shalimar seemed more alive than ever, gripping his arm to urge him to stand she smiled, “ Off course I am”.
“ Sorry Guys, but Brennan cant go, if he has one of these in public it will draw attention and other troubles”.
Brennan’s face dropped and his bad mood returned.
Shalimar still smiled and squeeze his arm, “ Jesse and Emma can still go out with the others cant they”.
Adam nodded after thinking.
Jesse held his hand out confused, “ Aren’t you coming”. Shalimar shook her head, “ I’m staying in, wanna torment Brennan more”.
Brennan could stop smiling now, he didn’t want her to stay because he was being forced to stay. But he didn’t want her to go either.
Night
Brennan and Shal were both sitting talking in his room. He was stretched out on the bed and Shal was sitting in a chair, asking questions.
“ So Brennan, have you ever…kissed a guy”.
Brennan’s jaw dropped, “ Shal!…I cant believe you just asked me that”.
She smiled, “ You haven’t denied it yet”. Quickly a denial was shot her way.
“ Ok your turn”.
Brennan placed his finger on his chin, pretending to think.
” Irm…ok. Here’s a good one.” He smile indicated what he was going to ask.
“ …are you attracted to me”.
Shalimar laughed, “ How can I be attracted to some one if there more attracted to them self’s than me”.
Brennan laughed pointing his finger at her, “ You didn’t deny it”.
She fell silent, “ Well shouldn’t Adam be checking up on us right now”. Brennan pointed at her again. She dropped her head, biting her lower lip, before looking back.
“ Honestly…”
Brennan nodded and she moved towards him, both there eyes connected.
She sat in front of him, and stared straight into his eyes, tapping his chin she smiled slightly, “ Maybe just a little”.
Adam suddenly burst in, “ Brennan I need…” Brennan and Shal both jumped apart, cheeks instantly turning red trying to explain.
“ I’ll come back later when your…not busy”.
With a flash Adam was out the door.
Brennan scratched the back of his head, feeling nervous and uncomfy. “ …well, that was like usual”. Shalimar laughed a bit nervous, “ Ye…”
She walked to the door and smiled, “ see you in the morning then”. Brennan smiled back, “ ye…the morning”.
She left, leaving the same feeling that lingered in the air when ever she always left…lonlyness.
Brennan fell back onto his bed, letting his breath release. So close and yet people always picked the worse times.
His eyes closed, hoping his encounter with Shal was enough to banish his bad dreams away.
