GOOD vs. EVIL 15
Punch after punch was deliver to his face, and he was repeatedly being knocked back against a wall. Pain was exploding in his nose and head. His body was numb and the only feeling was an overwhelming buzz and heat in his chest. Ever time his body would try to fall, he was lifted up by his hair and the punches continued.
No noise was heard, except for the noise of a dull beating and an ever so often cry.
Logan was horrified as the images came, one after the other, like a movie being played in his head. He was struggling not to run up to the tall figure beating the kid, and beat his head against the wall.
A scream from some one was heard and then a girl cried out as the beating on him stopped only for a second, before continuing again.
The girl screamed again for the man to stop. “ PLEASE…HE DIDN’T MEAN IT…PLEASE MERRICK HE DIDN’T MEAN IT…STOP!”
The man who had beaten the boy gave the girl a swift hit, knocking her down.
“ Brennan knows the penalty for failure”.
Logan felt his mind being swept in by a current from somewhere, into the nightmare.
He looked around for Brennan, but couldn’t find him, and he realised, every time Brennan had a vision, he was in the vision. A horrible feeling grew in his gut…the knowing, that Brennan would relive the nightmare with each vision.
Merrick continued his assault on Brennan, and when he was out of breath, finally allowed Brennan to fall unconscious to the floor. Stepping back away from Brennan, Merrick went to the girl who was lying on the floor, holding her chest. She only looked about 9 or younger. Grabbing her by the back of her shirt, her through her towards Brennan’s still form. “ Take care of ‘that’…when I come back, the training continued”.
With that Merrick left and the girl was left to try and clean up the mess that was made.
Brennan’s eyes slowly opened and he saw Reign looking down on him. Her eyes were streaked with tears and his face slightly wet from them.
“ Reign…what happened?”
Reign started to cry worse, more hysterical now and Brennan tried to hold her as best he could. “ Reign…don’t cry, don’t let them see your pain”.
She nodded against his chest. “ I can’t take…what they’re doing, to you Bren. I can’t sit here and watch. You’re my best friend Bren…and I just cant!”
Brennan rubbed her back to sooth her, “ Reign, I’ll be alright. Merrick deserved what I just did any ways”.
Logan was shivering slightly now, a cold feeling seeping into his body and almost freezing his heart. He now understood Brennan’s closeness to Reign, his protective nature. All of it, he’d got from being at Genomex…or was he at Genomex. It didn’t seem like since the cell was dark and wet everywhere.
Shalimar had wondered if Brennan and Reign had been…something. But they hadn’t, or maybe Reign thought they had.
The cell door opened again and in walked Merrick, along with some GSA agents. Reign gripped Brennan as hard as she could but she was ragged off by Merrick, while the agents all picked Brennan up to get him checked up by a doctor. The doctor entered the room with a needle he was checking. He flicked it with his finger and when he was satisfied with it, made his way to Brennan.
Instantly Brennan started to struggle. Merrick shoved Reign into a spare agent that had just entered and went to help the agents hold Brennan.
Brennan was throwing his weight so the agents couldn’t get a firm grip on him. He saw an agent go for his tazer but was suddenly stopped by Merrick. “ Eckhart doesn’t want him too badly harmed, remember that”.
Merrick’s hand shot out and a ball of black hit Brennan Square in the chest. Brennan slumped unconscious into the agents and the doctor injected the needle.
Logan now knew about as much as Shal, or a bit less. But at least he knew some thing, and he’d be able to tell Charles and Adam.
He was dropped like rock to the floor where Reign got free and ran to him, Then the face come up behind her and yank her away from him. Letting his body crash back to the floor, making him release a soft cry.
He remembered looking back in her direction, and seeing her limp form being carried out the door.
Always the dark shadow over him.
Logan felt dazed as they both came out of the vision, and he couldn’t even prevent him self from falling back and lying straight on the floor. His mind was not with him, leaving him too fazed of the situation to move.
Brennan was on his knees, crutching his ribs and gritting his teeth next to him. He looked left and saw Logan lying on the floor. Now the headache came and Brennan fell side ways to try and get to Logan.
“ Logan…can you, hear me”. Finally Logan looked at him, his eyes seemed to finally register what had happened.
Adam, Scott and Shalimar had all been looking for Brennan and Logan. They entered the dojo and saw the state their two friends were in. Scott ran to Logan while Shal ran to Brennan. Adam was right in the middle.
Shal was asking Brennan what was wrong, but he wasn’t answering her, just holding his ribs. Adam nodded to her and she backed off as Adam checked Brennan.
“ Brennan…I need to see you ribs…”
Brennan finally allowed him, and Adam gasped when he saw bad bruising on him, and he’d also been bleeding. When Shalimar saw it her eyes flashed feral and she stormed towards Logan who was finally waking up from his daze. As soon as his eyes saw her he held his hand up and quickly knocked away the punch she threw.
“ Shalimar, it weren’t me!” But she didn’t stop.
Adam was looking back at the commotion that had kicked off, while Scott tried to keep Shal away from Logan, Logan was trying to stand up and tell her what had happened.
“ Adam…” Adam looked back at Brennan as he heard how weak he sounded.
“ I…need to tell you, Reign, she doesn’t…know what she’s doing. He…his name is…Merrick…he worked at Genomex. He is going, to try and start a war. He’s not human though…Genomex, created him”.
Brennan hissed and coughed as some blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
“ No Brennan. Don’t talk any more, you could make your injury worse, we need to get you to the lab”.
Brennan quickly grabbed Adam’s arm so he could finish telling him. “ He was Eckhart’s bodyguard. Eckhart made him, do the dirty work, if the agents couldn’t do it. Adam…he’s trying to get at you. The team. He wont stop…”
More blood was coming making Brennan cough hard. Adam rubbed Brennan’s shoulder “Tell me later. We really need you in the lab”.
Brennan nodded and the rest of the x men showed up with Jesse and Emma. Emma tried to calm Shal as Jesse and Scott helped Brennan up.
4 hours later
Brennan was resting in his room, in his bed, Shalimar lying next to him to make sure he stayed safe. He’d scared her when he didn’t answer her. She was slowly falling asleep next to him, but every time some one walked past the room, her eyes shot open, the feral too protective of him.
Finally she did fall asleep, but dreamed nothing since it was a light sleep. A few hours later, she woke up from some movement.
Brennan was restless in his sleep and was moving about, still dreaming. He’d been sweating and was breathing irregular. He was struggling against some thing.
Shalimar sighed, getting annoyed at how no one got any peace, including Brennan. She gripped his hand tight in her own, waiting for him to settle down.
Finally he settled and she fell back to sleep, having a better dream.
Brennan woke up 30 minutes from Shal holding his hand, and was a bit surprised to find her there. He dared not sit up due to the stinging in his ribs and the headache.
He stayed awake, watching her, her eyes move about under her eyelids. Her chest rise and fall. He listened to her sleep, hearing a slight change in breathing every now and then, and the same with a slight one off…purr.
;D enjoy cos its coming to an end very soon. sorry
