didn't think you would be getting off that easy didja?
If you are underage, you "should" not be viewing any of this
hehe if you don't like homoerotic literature, then why are you on here?
Thank you all for the wonderful comments on the previous 2 parts. I know the second was kinda short, but I tried to pump it out really fast (no pun intended) for all the eagerly awaiting fans. I honestly didn't think this was that good be hey, what do I know apparently =P I am working on finding the format for a full page viewing so be patient.
What! You guys thought they would have sex that quickly?
Mel has a soft side? Who knew!
Why didn't Thanos break out? I'm not sure myself, but I think he was interested more in a uninterupted session with Steven. And what is the deal with steven anyways, is he gay? Or isn't he? Ah fooey. The characters are as much as a surprise to me as they are for you.
And who is James?
And why do the toughs all have names starting with J?
Let's hope I can make the next few chapters more fulfilling
also, I have now realized that italicizing does not carry over to nifty postings, so I will denote telepathic conversations with (), thank you and enjoy the flight >=)
Missing Death
Part three
Dr. Simons is standing in a dark room, the only light a cone around him. He is unable to see those watching him, but he knows who they are.
"Dr. Simons, we are very concerned with recent activites occuring at your facility. Do we need to cut your funding?"
"No I do not think that will be necessary, we are even now making progress in breaking the most powerful of mental psyche barriers. I think this research could prove most providential to all in our field, as most of us have at least one subject who's mind is...uncooperative with our guiding hands. If we can give a push in the right direction to these individuals, perhaps we could adapt such procedures for international politics?"
"...We have much to discuss. For now you retain all funding and are being given the aid of a clean-up crew. I hope we will not have to worry about more outbursts from the subject known as Thanos."
"No, I think he has found a more constructive outlet for his aggression."
"If that is all, then we will leave you."
"Thank you."
"And one more thing Dr. Simons."
"Yes?"
"A previous employee of yours has escaped, James I believe his name is."
"Should I be on guard?"
" Not at all, our hunters are closing in on him even as we speak, we just thought it prudent that you should know, since it was your fantastic research that created a superior specimen, by our accounts, possibly better than your Thanos that you dote on so much."
"If that is all I shall leave you."
The light in the little room clicked off.
"Good morning," I said to the lovable bunch of boy nestled against me. He didn't seem to respond so I nibbled his ear. He started to mummer adorably. As he awoke. He is still new, even five days later. It really was stupid of me to trash the place like that, but then again, they need to know that they cant have him. I love Val, and the kids. I even love Mel, though she and I were kinda thrown into this together, we go past friends. I need to get them out of this place, and go...argh somewhere ANYWHERE!. Like that book about those freaky kids in that book, just anywhere...
"Is it morning already?" sleepy-eyed steven asked.
"Ya, but we don't have to get out of bed to get up," I flirted. I really don't mean to push him to sex or anything, but damn...with myself resting between his cheeks, even clothed I'm just so thrown off with my need of sex. This primal need to have him, and protect him is pervading my thought pattern. It's like his scent tells me he is in heat, and therefore I must be with him. But that can't be, the DNA I was altered with couldn't be present in him, it wasn't even a dinosaur like they think, it was a...
...Pain exploded in my eyes, "OW!"
"Oh I'm sorry thanos! I went to roll over and I must have hit you, I'm sorry,"
"No it's ok, I was just lost in thought and it surprised me." I smile to let him know its ok. He really is beautiful. I guess kid's at school might say he is chubby, but he isn't fat, he is just built different, but I like it. He has the cutest belly button. And I really don't mind a fuller butt....ok maybe I mean plumper....hehe yea I could make that butt full....I open my eyes and see him staring at me.
"What?" I ask.
"Um, so how do you plan on making my butt full?" he queried.
"Aw, shucks I must have said that out loud...uh sorry I was just thinking how hot my boyfriend is." finished with a world class disarming smile that is slightly lopsided.
"Well lets get up...OUT of bed and go see what everyone is doing."
He has adjusted well since getting control of his power, thanks to Val. The kids have all accepted him, and love him like an uncle...or maybe like a dike-y aunt? I think he might have some sort of psionic tissue regeneration because all the track marks on his arms are gone. He also seems to have empathy. He can anticipated actions, like the boys' pranks, and avoid most anything based on emotional responses by the "attackers". Interesting really. Nearly as good as the god damned "6th sense" that this whole project was started to find. Never found a perfect 6th sense, but an assload of other things at the cost of what? Millions! Of lives. Not to mention, how moronic to abduct TEENAGERS and give them uber powers and strengths, then expect them not to rebel? WOW, and they are suppose to be the brains. Whatever, I will have my veng....ok now im starting to sound like a cheesy sci-fi movie....jeesh I scare myself sometimes.
I get up "out" of the bed, hehe, and head out to the newly furnished and remodeled living area. We don't know why they decided to expand our place to include a foyer, but I guess maybe it was there from my "remodeling." Walking over to Val and Mel I say, "So how goes it this fine Facility day."
"BETTER..." greets Val through gritted teeth.
"Peachy keen!" exclaims Mel in her famous anime pose.
I look over to see Steven playing catch with one of the telekinetic boys, helping him develop aim, and care. The bruised eye yesterday seemed to remind steven pay attention when one of the boys shouts, "think fast!" Val thought he should be punished, but I told her that he is probably so scared that I will rend his arms from his torso that she really didn't need to talk to him. She agreed.
What to do today? Oh wait that's right NOTHING! Like every other day! I never really have understood why I haven't died of boredom yet. However, I can't complain about my new toy. He really is just such a great lovable boy. It has been a little over a week since I tore up sub lvl 4 and 5, yet he has developed rapidly. Oh well, nothing to do but carry on.
Thanos is sitting, deeply in thought as Val looks on.
(Thanos, are you there?)
(Yea Val, I'm here. I was just thinking how boring things get around here),Thanos thought.
(AND how boring things should STAY), Val shot back.
(Um, yea I really am sorry about that. I just got carried away)
(Well...as much as I am loath to admit this, it was fun to know you were giving them hell, BUT that does not excuse the danger you could have put the young ones in. Thanos, there is you, me, Mel, Steven, and 6 children now. We have to really be on our toes about safety for everyone.) Val's face takes on a look of concern.
(I know, but dammit, how can I protect anyone if I am willing to let those assholes do what ever they want to us. I just feel so powerless.) Thanos face contorted into a grimace.
"Hey Thanos, are you ok?" said steven as he walked up.
Thanos looked up, "Yea, of coures im ok." Thanos beamed a smile.
"Well, people don't just talk to themselves saying they are powerless out of the blue and not have a reason behind it."
"...Steven?"
"Yea Thanos"
"I didn't say anything outloud..."
Val could see steven and Thanos conversing, noticing that thanos seemed a little shaken by whatever steven had just said. With that she got up and approached as they continued to talk
"Steven, I was talking mentally with Val."
"That's impossible, all I heard was you say that you just felt powerless."
"Did you see my lips move?"
"Um, no, but still, maybe you said it out loud while saying it to Val."
"No he didn't," Val stated as they both turned to look at her, "I was watching his face throughout our entire telepathic communication."
Does that mean I'm a danger to Thanos? Steven thought.
(Perhaps) replied Val so that only steven would hear.
Thanos looked at the two of them and knew they were discussing something. "SO, I don't mean to interupt, but steven can hear my thoughts!"
"Well, yes. That should not be possible. Let's just not let anyone besides mel know that this has happened." piped in val.
"SECURITY ALERT! SECURITY ALERT! TOP PRIORITY"
"ALL SECURITY PERSONNEL PLEASE RESPOND TO GROUND LEVEL"
"FOR ALL OTHER PERSONNEL, EVACUATION IS RECOMMENDED."
All the kids looked to Thanos, as Mel came running out of her room, "THANOS! What has he done this time!"
"Um Mel, I'm right here..."
Mel looks back and realizes that Thanos is indeed here and not causing any trouble. Mel looks to the ceiling as Thanos is doing the same.
"What is it?" asks Val.
"Gunfire," Thanos and Mel say in unison.
"Val, Mel, take the kids to my room. Steven come with me."
"Thanos, what is..." Val started.
"Dammit Val, we don't have time for this!" fired back Mel.
They gathered up the 6 children and quickly made way to Thanos' room. Steven followed Thanos as he walked to the newly refurnished air-lock. He punched through a blank panel about waist high on the wall next to the cycle door. Thanos seemed like he was being shocked by circuitry, but he mearly grunted off the pain.
"That will give us at least a little time"
"For what?" steven asked nervously.
Thanos turned to face steven," to escape"
Thanos and steven entered as Val busied herself rattling off names. "Billy, lucy, tim, chester, beau, and sarah. Ok you are all here. Mel and Thanos have decided that we are in enough danger to risk escaping the Facility. At this all the children cheered.
"The time to celebrate is not now, we are not having a picnic...this is very dangerous and we will be on the run from very dangerous people who might at that point have decided it is better to kill us rather than recapture us."
A few gasps but mainly stoic silence from the kids.
"But if you listen to us, and try very hard, and look out for everyone around we just might make it through this," comforted Mel in her own way.
Thanos walked over to his stand alone wall closet and picked it up to reveal...
"..A wall?" queries steven.
"Well, so it would seem. But it is a door, just very hard to see the seam. However, we have our very own wreckin ball." smirks Mel.
Thanos walked over to the wall, and promptly tore into it. The door/wall was only about 2 feet of titanium/steel alloy, so it was fairly easy for Thanos to pummel through.
"Ok Mel, steven, lead the front, Val and I shall take the back. As the line of children formed in this dark small hallway, Melvalin and steven led the way into the darkness, which is no bother for Mel as she can see as good as any cat in the dark. Thanos and Valevis lingered as the kids started away from the Facility. Thanos walked to the stand-alone closet, pulled it to the wall , and stepped back into the newly found hallway.
"Think you can seal that Val?"
With a smirk on her face, " just stand back and don't get in my way."
Val's blonde hair started to drift, as if in a light breeze, and her frosty blue tips became more pronounced. She opened her eyes to reveal what would appear to be beautifully sculpted ice eyes. Her arms streched out infront of her body as she raised her palms to face the hole in the wall blocked by Thanos' closet. Bluish beams formed a moving sphere around both hands, and just as suddenly as they appeared, the spheres flew to meet the gapping maw of the hallway leaving behind a icy after vision of their flight path. The hole instantly became a block of ice nearly 5 ft thick and sealed the closet to the hole.
"That good enough for ya?"
Thanos only smiled as they trotted off to catch up to the children and val and steven.
Meanwhile, back at the hall of justice...
"It's some sort of lycan!"
"I thought they were on our side!"
"Whatever just shoot it!"
Dr. Simmons, John, and Jim watched from a closed viewing monitor near from the top floor of the high rise office building that housed the Facility. The screen showed security detail being slaughtered by an 8 foot lycanthropic wolf. More savage than any they had seen before, John and Jim knew that this was a very powerful subject. They also knew that the personnel below were doomed. Dr. Simmons too knew this, but he marveled at his own handy work. Perhaps he is stronger than Thanos, Dr. Simmons thought to himself.
"Ready the helicopter," dr. simmons ordered as they reached the rooftop.
"What about the test children on sub-5" interjected John.
"They will be fine for a few days, I doubt this current problem has knowledge of them or is trying to breach them. We will come back after the mess is cleaned up and no harm shall come, or anyone be the wiser."
With that, Jim started the chopper as john slid shut the side panel door. Jim started rattling away information to nearby air towers, and in less than a minute they were given access to join the skies.
"Where to Dr. Simmons?" said Jim in his headset.
"To the district office upstate." dr. simmons replied.
"Mel, how far is this hallway?" asked steven
"It leads approximately half a mile to the west, it ends at an elevator shaft."
"So we are taking the elevator up to the surface?"
"Heh, if only it were that easy, the same reason we haven't turn on the lights is why we won't be taking the elevator. They will instantly know if this shaft is in use."
"So...what will we do?"
"Chester is a telemechanic, he can telepathically use technology without it actualy being in use, but we can't risk any sensors going off, so he will open the door to the elevator and we will make a ceiling exit."
Steven could only guess how they were going to "make a ceiling exit."
Thanos and Val caught up to the rear to see lucy at the tail.
"Hey lucy, did we miss anything?"asked Val.
"No, Mel said we are just a little further to the end."
Within ten minutes the group had reached the elevator doors, and Chester walked up to the control panel. He placed a palm near it and closed his eyes. The elevator door cycled open, and Mel walked inside. Without any hesitation, she bolts up and out of the ceiling to the elevator.
"Yea, like we thought Thanos, " she yells back down, "there is a small steel ladder leading up."
"About fifty feet to the sur face, it shouldn't be so bad." Thanos said to himself, "I'll head up first and see what the exit is like."
Thanos walks into the elevator and is hoisted up with help from Mel, she watches as he scampers up into the darkness. By now everyone has crowded into the elevator and is looking up. A few minutes later they see a small circle of light appear as some sparse rubble clouds down. A few more minutes goes by and the light is obscured, "Come on up it's beautiful."
Everyone starts to ascend the ladder until they reach the top and are helped out by Thanos.
"Ugh, I thought you said it was beautiful," comments Val as she surveys a very filthy alleyway."
"Well, the sunlight is at least..." Steven says.
Thanos smiles and as he walks over to embrace steven in a hug. Everyone is all smiles actually, for all but steven, everyone had not seen the sun in at least a year and a half.
"Ok, I hate to break up this wonderful rejoicing, but we need to get away from here as quickly as possible." breaks in Mel.
"She's right," states Thanos, " first order of business is for us to get new clothes...something that fits in.
"But we don't have any money," steven announces.
"Ah, but we do have Sarah. She can manipulate people into doing things, not like killing, but convincing someone to give her a lot of money cuz she makes them feel sorry for her is easy business. So steven, I need you to walk with sarah and find a rich looking guy and get him to give you a lot of money."
"Whats a lot?"
"Um, dunno, a thousand bucks?"
"...ok..."
Steven walks over to little 9 year old Sarah, with her shabby appearance and rubble messing up her auburn ringlets, it shouldn't be too hard. They walk hand in hand to the end of the alley, and stop to peer around. Typical pedestrian life for NYC.
"Ok sarah, do you need me to do anything?"
"Um, no just try to stop someone for a second, longer enough for me to start talking to them."
Steven looks around and walks with sarah up to some older guy dressed in aramani, "Excuse me sir." ...he walks past without a glance. He tries with the next guy...yet no response.
"Wow this is harder than I thought," steven says while rubbing the back of his head.
"Aww, little girl are you ok?" says female voice from behind.
Steven turns to see a 30ish woman dressed in today's celebrity fashion...none of it knock off. "Hi, miss, this is my little sister, and we are looking for a little help."
"I'm hungry," says sarah with tears in her eyes.
"Aww, need a little money for food?"
"Yes please," states sarah.
"How much do you neeed," says they woman as she sifts through her expensive purse.
"About a thousand dollars, please."
"Ok..oh will twenty-five hundred do?"
"Yes ma'am, thanks you." says sarah with wonderfully acted gratitude.
"Oh and she is so well behaved," the woman says to steven, " keep her safe now ok?"
"I will miss." steven says still a little bewildered at how easy that really was...wow $2500!!! woot!!! we are rich!
(Good haul, but stop reveling we need to get going...) states Mel.
The two of them return with cash in tow. Sarah hands the money to Thanos, "ok we need to split up a little, but not much steven and I will take tim and lucy, Mel, take billy and chester, and Val take beau and sarah." Thanos handed e ight-hundred dollars to each of the two groups. "Buy cheap clothing, and something that fits in, we need the extra to get out of here by tonight. And every keep telepathic channels open. Steven, you are our communicator, not me."
"Ok, Thanos"
"Alright, Mel, you billy and chester leave now, then val with sarah and beau a few minutes after, then we four will go."
(This is Mel, check)
(Val, check)
(Um...steven over?)
(This isn't a CB numbnuts)
(In anycase, steven just keep your mind open ok?)
(Ten-four)
(ARGH!)
Mel and Val's group had left and Thanos walked with tim beside him, and lucy beside Steven as they walked in a haphazard formation. The girls both went right, so Thanos decided to go left. About a block away was a kid's/young adult clothing outlet and they walked in. The clerk looked like a cross between prep and goth, she had the typical bimbo make-up, but a lower lip piercing on the left and a right eyebrow with a black hoop running thru it, "can I help you guys?"
"Um, we just needed to find some new clothes, our uniforms are dirty and we don't have any change of clothes," Thanos deftly answered.
"Ok then, just bring them up here and to buy and you can change in the back," she completed with a warm smile.
"Uniforms?" said steven.
"Well it was all I could think of on the spot."
They browsed quickly, everyone got jeans, lucy got a pink and white blouse, tim and steven got polo shirts, and Thanos got a black wife-beater, and a black with purple tribal designed over shirt. Thanos took the clothes up to the counter, " will this be all?"
"Uh, yea."
"That will be $186.93, oh and that overshirt goes great with your contacts."
Thanos got a puzzled look on his face then realized she meant his lilac eyes, "oh yeah, I got these for christmas last year," he said as he got back his change.
Everyone quickly met up after getting changed at a nearby coffee shop with over priced coffee and terribly named sizes for the beverages. Thanos bought everyone what they finally agreed on and they sat down in a corner. Various business people sat around sipping and having conversations while many college kids pecked away at laptops. Chester kept looking hungrily at one of them.
"Don't cream your pants ches," tim told slyly.
"Aw shut up man."
"If we get a chance, we will get you one when we get away from here," assured Val.
"Ok gameplan, Mel you think jet tickets or train?" Thanos asks
"Easy, train"
"Just what I was thinking, but how far to the train station?"
"Well we can take the subway outside to grand central." said steven.
"Ok, you know this place better than us, you lead the way."
They finished their coffes, mochas, and cappuccinos and headed for the entrance to the subway station below. Thanos walked up to the ticket dispenser and got 10 tickets for the correct subway car. Sitting down everyone quietly amused themselves while Thanos and Steven talked.
"So where should we go?" asks steven.
"I guess somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, so probably nebraska?"
"Sounds good, nothing out there."
Thanos smirks, "nothing but you and me."
Steven blushes as he looks over to Thanos. Thanos slowly leans in, as steven braces himself.
"Oooo, their gonna kiss!"
Both steven and Thanos look up to see all the kids watching, "heh maybe another time when the little rugrats aren't watching, " remarks thanos.
"Heh, maybe," says a very red faced steven.
OK, so how about that? They are free, Dr. Simmons has his hands full for sure. I can't wait to see where this is going! How about you. Please do not hesitate to email me, Thanos71185@yahoo.com thank you all for reading
