Chapter 21

Alan nodded and started on the weaker of the men with abilities within twenty minutes they were all at twice the power they had been. Shaking his head Alan knew they could stop a few of the hoard the assistant had but they would need to be stronger if they were going to be of any use.

Looking at Madde’s son Alan saw that the young man was already as strong as he’d just made the twenty men. I have to be careful Alan thought as he started to raise the young man’s power. Finally the man was far more powerful than any but his grandfather. Starting on his cousin he found that she was far easier than any he’d done. Finally finished with her a mere ten minutes later Alan felt a slight drain and sat with a thud.

Angelika, Truda, and Madde ran to him as he started to topple over on the bench. “Crap I think I did it agai...” then the darkness took Alan into its embrace.

This time Alan was in the doctor’s bunker in a few seconds. Looking around he could feel himself there so kept out of the way. Then he felt another presence, huh? Truda? (What are you doing here? How did you get in?) Alan asked.

(Alan really after all you did for me, this was the least I could do. It was easy really once you were unconscious I could get into your dreams or in this case travel. Oh my god! You are really here!)

Alan felt her reach out to the doctor feeling for his heart then stopped as thousands of choices came up. (I told you choose the right one, since it will now interact with all I have done.)

(Here I hadn’t believed you! Damn it Alan! You could have come to me with help for this!) Truda said.

(No I couldn’t, you have to retreat before it starts.) Alan warned.

(What starts?) Truda asked.

(Just retreat I’ll explain.) Alan felt her withdraw when the doctor spoke.

(You again? I am ready for you this time!) He heard the doctor’s evil laugh then the doctor touched a machine. Alan just shrugged as power flowed to him then through him. (What!? You aren’t here? I can feel you I know you are real!)

Alan laughed then the assistant appeared and Alan leapt to his mind. As quickly as he could Alan started to leave far more in him than he had in the doctor. (You are going to suffer a most horrible death you son of a bitch!)

(Who are you? You can’t hurt me; I am one of the Führer’s finest agents. I will... ) The assistant started then stopped suddenly as he was screaming in his head.

(You are a pathetic excuse for a living organism. Though I hesitate to call you that as I might insult organisms. Here I want you to remember this!) Alan screamed as the assistant was again screaming in his mind.

(Who are you? I will find out and destroy you!) The assistant yelled.

(Oh yeah? Really. Good luck with that!) Alan said as he started to withdraw, the assistant screaming at him to know his identity.

Alan awoke with a major headache; looking over at Truda he saw that she had one also. “I warned you it isn’t as easy as you thought it was, is it?” Alan told Truda as she tried to rise off the mattress. Huh? They were in beds? Inside? What in the hell was going on?

Madde, Emory, Angelika, and Harman entered the room a moment later. “I ... I didn’t know that you actually saw and felt all that we went through. Not just one of us but all of us! With all the control you have why can’t you block out all of us?”

Alan tried to speak but found that his throat was as dry as could be. Angelika handed him a glass of water which he drained in record time. “I can’t block all of you; if I did I wouldn’t be able to do what I did. Besides I am sure that the son of a bitch assistant will be terrified of the both of us now!”

“Both of us?” Truda said as she sat up and tried to stand on wobbly legs. Almost falling she was caught by her brother.

“Careful, you don’t want to fall on your face,” Harman said looking back and forth between his sister and Alan.

“That’s not important, what do you mean he’s afraid of me also?” Truda pushed for an answer.

“Truda really you were there, I know he could feel the both of us. He was scared at first but I felt you look out and felt him shake in terror. So I’d say he’s is terrified we both are going to attack him again. Especially since I put as much in him as I did.” Alan was also trying to stand finding he was still weak from all he’d done before but could quickly feel his strength returning.

“What have you done now?” Varick said a moment later as he came through the door.

“I went with him so it wasn’t all him Varick. My god Varick we really were there! I saw the doctor and the assistant Alan planted more in the doctor and then put quite a few in the assistant.” Truda told the man.

“You what!? Have you lost your mind Truda? What if they had put something in you that had you killing Alan when you were in there? I can’t believ...” Varick was saying then was flying across the room but stopped well short of the wall a surprised look on his face.

Truda’s eyes were glowing as a harsh growl came from her lips, “I AM NOT CRAZY! Never say that to me again Varick! NEVER! I am a lot more powerful than I was; don’t make me try to punish you Varick! Like you I have several of my memories linked to gain strength against all they did to us. You forget Alan has healed more in me than the rest of you!”

Harman had already backed away from his sister not wanting to be what she centered on. Truda looked over at her brother and the look on her face softened, “It is good to see you are getting smarter brother, yes very encouraging indeed.” With that Truda started to wobble on her legs again as Harman rushed to catch her as she passed out.
