    A few more days had passed, and I was once more at work, waiting to see if there were any missions free. While I waited, I noticed Nathan leaving one of the offices, and wondered what he was doing here. My soon-to-be-brother-in-law tended to want nothing to do with the Company.

    Once I'd gained a mission, I hesitated a little, chosing to go question Nathan before I left. His presence here had really caught my curiosity.


    What are you doing here, Nathan? I asked, cornering him.

    I was asking how they were dealing with this Pinehearst threat... he replied, his tone rather vague.

    Why? I asked immediately. Before this, I didn't think he'd shown any interest in the matter.

    I just heard..... well, that Dad's caught up in it. Kinda thought it had something to do with me, then, so I ought to show some interest in it.

    I grimaced at that. From what I knew, Nathan had been pretty close with their father before his supposed death.

    We have to stop them - him. You understand that, right?

    He nodded.

    Yeah.... I was wondering, really, if I could do something to help.

    What, you're thinking you can go there and use your political influence to open some doors?

    Seemingly despite himself, Nathan smiled at that. He got to his feet and exited the room, pausing at the door.

    I don't need any doors opening. I'm planning on kicking them down, he replied before leaving.

    Laughing at that comment, I returned to my work, and soon left on a mission. Meanwhile, Nathan projected himself up into the air, and flew the short distance to Fort Lee. He landed outside the Pinehearst building. Even though he'd never seen it before, it was obvious enough to be identified, and he smiled at the name, remembering the spot they'd been taken fishing to as children. But he pushed the nostalgia aside, and headed for the doors.

    He pushed them open easily, and strode inside, simply refusing to let anyone stop him or get in his way. Once there, he headed upwards, inferring that his father's office would be right at the top of the building. The most important were always there. He'd reached it within ten minutes, and pushed the doors open too.

    Arthur glanced up briefly as he entered, in the middle of a meeting with some members of Pinehearst, who all fell silent.

    Don't worry, it's only my son, he assured them. Come to join us, Nathan?

    Nathan shook his head.

    Not exactly.... what are you doing here, Dad? You didn't even let us know you were alive....

    I couldn't, he explained simply, but Nathan shook his head, disbelieving. There had to have been a way.

    You know that's not true, Dad. And what are you doing here? These plans, this formula.... don't you know they're dangerous?

    Arthur frowned.

    I was hoping you wouldn't see things that way, he answered.

    (Bye Pips :twinhug: )

    How else could I see it? he asked, impulsively, only realising afterwards that it could be a mistake to show his allegiences so clearly. Before, he'd hoped that he'd somehow be able to talk his dad out of this insanity. But it didn't seem possible. It really never was.

    If you only tried seeing the full picture here, Nathan... the world needs this. Isn't it obvious that these powers aren't working as they are? The imbalance....

    Can't you tell that this isn't working, either?! About a million precogs have said it. And I thought you were one, too.

    Arthur grimaced at Nathan's continued arguements, seeing that his persuasion was for once not working on his eldest son.

    Are you saying that you'd fight me, son? he asked.

    If I had to....

    He grimaced again.

    Then I'm sorry it had to come to this.

    (This is the moment Wink )

    Before Nathan could even open his mouth to ask what his dad meant by that, Arthur made a small gesture, pulling him forwards within his reach. He closed his hand around his wrist. They both then waited, Nathan wondering what was going on.... nothing seemed to be happening. He wasn't seeing anything, or feeling anything.

    However, after a moment, he began sensing some lingering echo of pain, like it ought to hurt but didn't. With difficulty, he ripped his arm away.

    What was that?! he spat out. Arthur just repeated his apology, his tone regretful and sincere.

    What did you do?! he repeated angrily.

    I'm sorry, son. It had to be done, Arthur replied, and Nathan noted the strange emphasis in his tone. That voice... it was the tone he himself used, when trying to convince others. Angrily, he wondered why he'd even bothered coming here. His father wouldn't listen to any sense!! He was completely convinced by his own foolish ideas, making it a waste of time for any to try to prove otherwise.

    I don't know why I bothered, he retorted, heading towards the window. Before any could stop him, he'd dived out and flown away.

    He darted away, quickly as he could, and he'd flown for miles before he landed. He couldn't pay any attention to his new surroundings. His thoughts were in turmoil. What had that been?!! With what he'd been told of his father, and what his ability was, he could only offer one answer, but it didn't make sense. If he'd been trying to take his abilities, why had he failed? And he obviously had - Nathan had just flown out of there!

    What had happened, then? What else could it have been? He couldn't understand it, he couldn't think of any other answer. Could he.... could he have somehow stopped it? He shook his head. That didn't make any sense... but if he didn't have any answers, maybe someone else would. Rising into the air, he flew away searching.

    Question

    I finished work, and was literally exhausted from chasing down a woman who insisted on setting everything she touched on fire. I cancelled my plans to go and see Hanna, claiming I just wanted to get some rest. Yet somehow, I still ended up in front of the TV, almost having an emotional breakdown at Brokeback Mountain

    He'd landed and rang the doorbell to Nae's home before he'd even fully realise where he'd arrived at. He then waited for her to answer, knowing she was at home because of seeing the lights within.

    I wiped away my idiotic tears as I mourned the loss of Jack. I shut the TV off when I heard the doorbell and checked my appearance - oversized t-shirt and baggy pyjama bottoms, hair tied back and make-up nowhere to be seen. Shrugging, I opened the door. Seeing Nathan, I grinned and greeted him with a kiss

    (She sounds perfect Laughing )

    He smiled and kissed her back, trying out of habit mainly not to show his confusion or how shaken up he still felt.

    I... I went to Pinehearst today, he admitted. I thought that maybe I could persuade Dad to give up his formula plan.... but instead I think he tried to take my abilities...

    One of your powers, I asked, a laugh playing on my lips. You're one of the only people who can never lose their powers and you're dating a girl who can take someone's powers away from them.
