The free criminal flew across the sky, looking for other super powered beings to recruit. His guide flew beside him, invisible to all but him. "You must gather as many as you can. You are strong now, but there is strength in numbers. You will need every advantage for the upcoming battle." The voice was so quiet, so indescribable, it might as well be a breeze. Devlin said back to the breeze, "I know. Haley will be hard to destroy, but she'll get hers yet. I learned how to control this darkness, and pull it out of any person. I can even grant people their own set of skills through the darkness. Darkness will rule, with me as its king."
The see-through guide did not respond. It merely disappeared. Fine then, Devlin thought, You were getting boring to talk to anyway.
He stopped and floated down to the drain pipe that held his man. "Thomas. I know you are in there somewhere." A figure appeared. He appeared to be covered head to toe in gauze wrappings. He muttered, "You know my name? How?" Devlin grinned at the being. "I think we can strike a deal, Thomas."
Meanwhile..............
We hid in the rafters of the room. It was Candy, Angel, and me. The Doc and Joey went to another part of the base. They said they were retrieving something that could help us. The others were discussing something down there. Wasting time. Idiots, all of them. Angel turned to me and said, "Okay. We need you to open the top of that hatch, and then cause a distraction so I can lower Candy down into the reactor." I sighed. "Are you sure this is going to work?" She looked at the giant machine. Then nodded. "Yeah. I can feel the energy in that thing." I said, "Alright guys. Get ready. Set. Go!"
We flew over to the machine. The others started shouting and moving towards us. I found the top lid and, using my super strength, forced it opened. I could see the shining light down at the bottom, I was mesmerized by the sight. I would have stood there all day if Angel didn't come up beside me. "Haley! The Trinity!" I turned to see Goliath, Gemini, and Blurr were coming up to us, using their powers. I said, "I'll hold them off, just go!" I flew down to eye level with Goliath. He tried to swat me but I flew down his arm and gave him a right hook. He fell back to the ground and shrunk. Blurr ran up to me and lunged at me. I put up a purple, see-through sheild while he was in mid-air. He slammed into it and fell. I caught him and threw him onto one of the many rafters that circled the interior of the room. Gemini was using his electric abilities to cling to the side of the reactor. He split into three and looked at me. He said, "So what? You're attacking us now? What did we do?" I said, "We're not attacking. We're taking another step in saving my brother."
Just then the reactor shook. We both stopped and stared at the top. Two figures popped out. One of them was Angel. The other was slightly different. It was Candy! She dropped down beside us. She was wearing a black T-shirt with the picture of a gold shield, she had a pair of short jean shorts, white boots, and a short cape that was black on the outside part, and glittered gold on the inside.
She looked at herself. "Huh. New outfit." I nodded. "Let's get Joey and get outta here." With Angel close behind, we flew out of the room through the main door. I could hear Paul's cries from behind, but I didn't want to listen. He isn't the greatest big brother that I thought him to be after all.
We met up with the Doc halfway out. I said, "We got it. Where's Joey?" She said, "He's already outside and waiting for me to come and get you. I said, "Well, let's go." I picked her up, and the four of us flew on out of the base.
