HEY GUYS! ;D
i'm here, and so is another chapter ;D
GOOD vs. EVIL 14
Sanctuary seemed very quiet since Brennan and Shal had been rescued back. It was like walking on eggshells, too weary to set each other’s tempers off…and it was a tense atmosphere that floated about.
Adam had suggested they go to back to Xavier’s school…but it was Brennan who declined. All the others knew the reason why, but Brennan would never admit it, not with his pride. He’d really been scared, and Shal had seen it, saw how quickly it had overtake the reasonable part of his brain and transported him right back to those days he’d feared as a child. Nothing about the incident was spoken about when they arrived back at sanctuary, but Adam tried. But every time, Brennan avoided the scene and retreated to his room, where all sounds were drowned out by the heavy rock music coming from his room.
Unknown to Brennan, Adam had invited Charles and some of the x men to come a stay. Adam had slight worries that doing it may push Brennan just that little bit over the edge…but he had to…for his own good.
Brennan walked out of his room, towards the dojo. It seemed lately he’d spent over half the day in his room…but he knew he’d have to face them soon…face the looks in their eyes, the look of sympathy.
He went into the dojo and started a program up, one that would loosen him up and feel more in control of him self. The hologram started and two similar looking GSA agents ran at him, and so…it started.
Adam had greeted Charles and some of the x men, being Storm, Logan, Scott and Jean. They were all glad to hear of their friend’s safe returns, and were all informed as soon as they arrived to try and not bring the topic up.
“Charles…could we talk more in the lab?”
Charles looked up at Adam, and sensing how uneasy he was, nodded and followed Adam.
“ Hey Adam, where’s Brennan?” Logan shouted before Adam could walk away. Adam froze; already his mind was whirling as to what Logan would do if he went to Brennan. Knowing on a subconscious level, Logan would try and talk about the incident, he shrugged…but deep in his soul, he wished some one would talk about it just to clear the air. “ I don’t, know…he may be in the rec- room…I really don’t know”. And then they left.
Logan sighed as he shook his head and started to head off to the rec-room.
“ Logan…” He stopped and turned to Storm. Her eyes were hard on him, “ Don’t you dare up set him or start some thing”. Logan shrugged, “ Am not going to…if I do, I don’t intend to…ok”. She nodded and Logan also left.
Brennan was beating the hell out the holograms, and was having a great time doing it. An agent through a heavy fist towards him, but knocking it away the agent was thrown back by a front kick. Another Agent was up and running at his with a tazer, but today…it seemed Brennan was on top of his game. The agent swung several time, none hitting its target and was shot back by an arc of electricity.
Logan quickly entered the rec-room…but no sign of Brennan. Emma was sitting at the far counter…Jesse and Shal both on the couch watching a film, ‘ Terminator 3’. Seeing him, Shalimar smiled bright, “Logan…what are you doing here…who else is here”. Logan’s eyes were roaming the room, all the spaces he could be hiding but pushed the idea away. “Jean, Storm and Scott…along with the professor”. Shalimar smiled and jumped off the couch to go and find them.
“ Shal…do you know where Brennan is?”
Suddenly the T.V seemed too low and every one was watching. She looked slightly shaken by the question but her eyes like storm were hard. “ Why?”
He remained quiet, knowing the territorial feeling was creeping up on both of them. All he could imagine her thinking was he was here to anger a member of her pack…and when she was around…that wasn’t a good idea.
Finally her eyes lost their glare, “ He might be in his room, although I think I heard him in the dojo”. Logan nodded, thanked her and left.
Brennan through the agent by his arm into his mate and swung round to dodge the oncoming attacker from behind. Although it was a tense situation, Brennan pushed him self through it. He swept the agents legs out behind him and swung up into the air to back kick the attacking agent. They both went down hard, and stayed down.
All of the agents had been defeated and Brennan dropped down to the floor, satisfied he could handle him self properly now. He was wiping his head of sweat, but a head ache had formed over the period of his work out.
He rubbed his temples but it stayed and he started to feel slightly panicked when his eye sight blurred. * Maybe I over did the work out*. Before another word could be thought, images flooded his mind. Pain was cursing in his head now.
Images of GSA agents holding him up from falling as another pummelled his face in. The agent looked down at him with a smug smile on his face…it just reminded him of how much he hated the GSA and how much he enjoyed beating the crap out of them.
Logan was close now; he could smell Brennan’s scent. He walked towards the dojo steps and tried to think of what he’d say to him. Would he see in his eyes the fear he’d expect to see, of a thin dam built around him that would eventually burst, bringing an on flow of raging water.
Brennan could feel the throbbing in his head getting worse as more images arrived.
The agents finally allowed him to fall, and laughed when he tried to get back up.
Brennan almost snapped when he heard his fathers voice in his head, the last thing he had of his father in his memory. The image of his face would have faded, if not for a photograph he still had, of when he was a child. Him, his mom and dad, all standing together smiling. But that day never ended well, the day his dad left…and the GSA stepped into his life…along with a traitorous stepfather.
I gotta go now, but take care of your mom. Remember to respect her, you hear, or when I get back, no more going to the parades…. try and stay safe son…but if trouble comes knocking, give as good as you get, don’t lie down like most people do.
Brennan got up off the floor, vision blurring but determined to not let his fathers words die. The agents all laughed and came at him again. The one, who’d beaten the hell out of his face as the others held him, ran first. But he was greeted with a surprise…
Brennan built some energy up and when the agent was a foot away, sent it into his leg making the agent wobble instantly. As the agent fell, Brennan swung round with his foot, knocking the agent flying back to his friend’s feet. The hit was right on target, and the hit in the head had knocked him out…and it was Brennan’s turn to smile.
Logan walked into the dojo and saw Brennan sitting on the floor, looking slightly dazed. He walked over to Brennan and patted his arm, but Brennan didn’t look at him.
He sat down next to him and waited.
Slowly Brennan was released back to reality, and his headache had vanished also. Logan noticed Brennan’s face seemed in pain and curiosity ruled. “ Brennan…”
Brennan turned and looked at Logan, anger in his eyes when questions started to pop up in his mind, “ What are you doing here?”. Surprisingly Brennan’s voice was low and seemed lost in a mist. Logan sat back, letting a slow breath out, “ Adam asked us to come-” “I should have known…”.
“Brennan…what happened?”. In an instant, Brennan’s mouth clamped shut and Brennan refused to look at him.
“ Brennan…I cant remember what happened to me, but when I do I talk about it. Believe it or not but I start understand it the more I talk”.
“…NO…. you wouldn’t understand Logan…just, just leave will ya”.
Logan was just as stubborn as Brennan, but he understood him on some level. “Bren…I know you don’t want to accept it…but you have to, or you’ll just be running the rest of your life”. Brennan huffed, obviously annoyed, but remained silent.
Logan was determined to crack his shell, of eventually; his shell would not ever crack…only his mind would.
“…Brennan…your not on your own, you have your friends, Mutant x…all of us………what happened?”
Suddenly Brennan’s breathing became irregular, and then, both of them were froze, their minds connected and Logan got his answer.
Lab
Adam and Charles had been in a heated discussion about Adams thoughts.
Charles nodded, finally realising why Magneto had constantly strived to keep his daughter out of harms way.
“ Charles…if I’m right, and he gets Brennan and Reign…it’ll be a war”
hope u enjoyed it.
