Chapter 41

On the hill overlooking the Doctor’s building Alan smiled, good the asshole is a little confused. Time to turn up the heat! Sending out a huge wave of blue energy, Alan sent a second right behind it. Blinking out Alan appeared with Helga’s children then vanished with them.

The Doctor felt another wave of energy heading his way, what? Alan? Brushing aside the last of the weak waves The Doctor wasn’t surprised that Alan had sent a close second. So he thought the boy is learning. All the better when I take his body!

Fighting the second stronger wave the Doctor was glad Alan was so strong. That’s when he felt four other waves heading his way! They were all from different people! Erecting a shield the doctor was fighting to hold all four when Alan appeared at the opening to the underground lab. Snatching the door open he dropped several containers then flashed out.

The Doctor’s thoughts screamed as he made all the containers appear outside. Several of his new ‘helpers’ grabbed the containers walking away from the long building. (Run you idiots!) Screamed the Doctor’s thoughts even as there was a titanic explosion that rocked the building.

Reaching in Alan felt several of the leads below the opening as he severed a few of them. (You won’t win you son of a bitch! I have far too many backups for you to defeat me!) Screamed the Doctor’s thoughts. Smiling, Alan thought ‘bout time!’

Appearing beside the building Alan dropped several more containers then vanished again. (Now.) Alan said as there were many voices that giggled then resumed their attacks on the Doctor.

(What!? You again? I’ll crush you like the little bugs you are I’ll.) Then the Doctor was quiet as the waves he was fighting were a lot stronger than before. He hadn’t felt this amount of power from them. Finally fed up, the Doctor sent out a huge wave of blue energy. (Duck that!) Came the Doctor’s thoughts then they heard a gasp right before Helga vanished with all of them.

Helga kissed all of them telling them what a good job they had done, and then she flashed out appearing next to Alan. “I can feel his power dropping though I am afraid it isn’t enough yet.” Alan told her.

Nodding her head she appeared on the other side of the building just as the explosives Alan had planted destroyed the entire wall. Knocked off her feet she didn’t see several of the Doctor’s men approaching.

Alan saw too late as the servants of the Doctor overwhelmed Helga. Cursing Alan called the rest of the group. After they all were there Alan told them. “You need to maintain your attacks on him if we are to have any hope.”

“Wait Alan, where are you going?” Angelika asked.

“After her, I can’t let that son of a bitch screw up all I did to help her. You know as well as I do that he will torture her when he finds out he can’t turn or use her.” Alan told his mother.

A stern look came to her eyes as she said, “You remember what I said. I will bring you back so I can kick your ass. I was serious Alan, still am, stay alive!.”

“Oh I intend to! As I intend to kill that son of a bitch,” Alan said kissing his mother on the cheek.

Appearing at the opening Alan could hear the Doctor’s thoughts. (So my dear you really thought that your paltry abilities would help you to defeat me? Please! You are so far below Alan and myself, you are but a child compared to the both of us! Just give up tell me what Alan has planned. As soon as I take his body I will finish healing you then I can help you have more children. As I remember you loved to serve the guards.) Here the Doctor laughed.

Alan heard the Doctor scream as Helga sent out a destructive wave of energy. Good Alan thought she cut his power in half! Now I just have to get her out of there. Reaching in Alan completely destroyed the electrified floor controls. Then the generator that backed it up.

(Ah! Alan I thought you would show up! So you destroyed the floor huh?) Even as the Doctor was thinking to Alan he’d already reached miles underground disabling several generators he’d found. That’s when he found the bomb! The son of a bitch had a plan to kill them all if he failed! Reaching out Alan snapped a control far away from the doctor.

Dropping to the floor Alan started to destroy every control he felt the Doctor even thought he needed. (I think it’s about time you shut the hell up!) Alan thought to the Doctor’s brain.

(You really think you have won?) Suddenly there was banging of heavy metal as the door over the opening slammed shut a hissing coming from it as it locked down. (If I cannot have your body to use then I am afraid that no one especially you will get to use it. You have destroyed all my control of the bomb. You have destroyed most of my generators and fluid pumps. So, I am dying but I die knowing that I take two maybe more of the monsters of this world with me!)

“Yeah right! Monsters that you created for your own selfish desires. For a power mad maniac that had plans to rule the world with an iron fist. NO! If there is a monster here it is you and you only!” Reaching out Alan again went the miles down to the bomb. After a few minutes he could see there wasn’t time to disarm it, then again!

Reaching deep Alan felt all the earth beneath the bomb as it started to grow softer, smiling Alan felt it as it started to sink deeper the earth covering it as it went deeper. (A good idea Alan but you might notice that the air is thinner in here? I may die but so will you. I’ve heard asphyxiation can be a grotesque death. I hope I live long enough to watch the last breath your traitorous body takes!)

Alan reached out to where the opening was trying to push it open. At first the metal groaned even started to ripple as a tiny part of it barely bent up. Damn it! Alan thought this had to be the hardest metal he’d ever tried to move. Trying again the metal groaned again moved maybe another millimeter then stopped.

Laughing the Doctor thought, (nice try obviously you are far stronger than I thought. Not even I could move it that much. Given time you might even get it open enough to let air in, given time. You might notice the air is thick now it won’t be long.) Laughing harder the Doctor gasp as Helga had awoken and was applying pressure inside the tank.

“You son of a bitch!” She screamed as she started to apply more and more pressure. “You used me! You let the guards and the SS use me so they would help you! If I die here so be it, but at least I’ll know I helped end your pathetic little useless life!” By now the Doctor’s thoughts were screaming out in pain. The brain in the tank was rolling around flattening a bit every now and then.

Alan nodded as he tried again to open the cover to the opening. Putting every bit of his energy into it this time he heard the meal start to groan louder. Suddenly there was a ripping sound as the metal cover flew off against the wall.

(What! All of you are here! NO! Stay back! I am the most brilliant--) The Doctor’s thoughts were screaming.

“No you sick son of a bitch! You are dead as you should have been decades ago!” Came Angelika’s voice as she appeared next to Alan.

“I think it’s finally time to close this chapter in all our lives!” Varick growled on the other side of Alan.

“You deserve far more than you are about to receive!” Harman yelled.

“Yes, it is time for the fear to end!” Emory said from behind Alan.

(What! You died! I watched you go down filled with bullet holes!) Screamed the Doctor’s thoughts.

“Yeah so they all thought!” Emory said as all of them stared at the brain in the vat as the Doctor’s screams increased. The liquid in the vat was now boiling at a good clip then suddenly the brain crushed inward as blood covered the clear vat walls then mixed with the boiling liquid.

Alan nodded as he looked at the people he now called friends and family. Smiling he turned and fell into a very soft chest! Giggling Helga smiled down at him as the world went dark.

Alan was once again flying back through time as he stopped at the bunker again. Alan thought this would be the last time though he wasn’t sure why. Going through the bunker he found everything as he’d seen it before. That’s when he found Helga crying, hiding in a closet.

Suddenly her head snapped up, (who’s there?)

(Just a friend.) Alan told her.

(I have no friends leave me alone, please!) Helga pleaded.

(May I help you some? I promise I won’t hurt you if you want I’ll go away.) Alan thought sad that he couldn’t help.

(No please don’t! You feel so different, anything you can do I will appreciate.) Helga told him.

(Alright it isn’t much but it will help you to be strong.) Alan told her as he started.

(Thank you so much, will I see you again? I mean for real?) Helga asked a look of hope on her face.

(Oh I’d say that is more than a definite possibility!) Alan said then he touched her mind one last time then was snapped back.

It was almost three days later when Alan’s eyes snapped open, then the headache started. Looking in he saw that someone had done a hurried shift of his abilities. Nodding he could see where someone might think he’d hurt himself. Moving everything Alan noticed that his healing ability was better, ‘might as well leave that,’ he thought.

A few minutes after he finished Helga walked in. “Oh good you’re awake! I wanted to ask you, I can swear I’ve met you before, have we?”

“Met me before? When? I am sure that I would remember meeting a lovely woman like you.” Alan told her.

“Come on Alan My memory is nowhere as good as yours but I can still see a man that looked like you. Is that even possible? I mean this was back when we were in the bunker.” Helga asked a strange look on her face.

“Ok, ok I can say that is more than a definite possibility that we met before.” Alan said as he watched Helga’s face for her reaction.

“Ok I--,” Helga stopped short staring at Alan. “What did you say?” She whispered.

“I said it was a definite--” Alan started when Helga launched herself at him.

“My god it was you!” Kissing his face all over Alan felt his heart melt and other parts harden.

“I’d have never made it through without what you did. Thank you!” Kissing him again she smiled sweetly at him then left.
