Twist of Fate

Lightning Prince Fear

WARNING GORE

~Carter

I was walking around the HQ or my new home. I was looking for a training room. I don't want to get rusty.  I walked into the training room.

"Of course it would be somewhere I wouldn't look," I chuckled.  I looked around seeing punching bags and a ring, "Who else would come here?" I asked myself. I walked over and started up with my usual reps.

~Jayden

I was going to train. I walked in and saw Carter. Oh my god. He's rip. I saw him jump off the bars and whipped away the sweat with his shirt. He's going to kill me with that. I felt heat in my cheeks. I should start training. I walked over to the punching bags.  I looked over and saw Carter doing something with his power. I stopped and watch.

"Chuck it, " He sighed in frustration.

"Can't figure something out?" I chuckled. On instinct he threw a shadow of fear at me. I dodge it easily.

"Jeeze could you warn me before you do something like that," Carter sighed, looking at me.

"What?" I asked, confused.  He walked over to me and lifted up my sleeve. I saw something different in his expression.

"I'm sorry," Carter whispered, walking out of the training room.

"What?" I asked him, following him out. Carter walked into his room and grabbed something, "Carter what is that?" I asked getting scared.

"It will help," He mumbled.

"Help?" I was seriously confused. Carter nodded, "Alright I trust you," 

"This is going to be awkward but I need you take off your shirt," Carter said. I took off my shirt. He grabs the black metal box. Carter opened it and it was a dark grey cream.  I saw their was a black ooze coming out of a cut.

"Is this way you said sorry?" I asked.

"Yeah, it happens when I don't use my powers in a while," He whispered.

"So, how long will take?" I asked.

"Not long maybe an hour at most," Carter said.

"Okay but will anything happen with in a hour?" I asked.

"You might experience or see your worst fears," he said, looking at me. I started to see people dying in front of me, "Jayden? What are you seeing?"

"People dying?" I said shakily.

"It's not real," Carter said.

"But it's look real?" I croak out.

"I know but it's not," he said. I felt someone touch me. I flinch, "Look at me Jayden. I'm real. What you are seeing is not?" I relax but I saw his face with lightning marks all over. I pulled back.

"How are you still alive?" I asked, trying to get a grip on what's going on.

"What do you mean?" I heard him.

I saw him all cut up and limbs almost falling off. Then it change to his villain form. Carter looks like he's going to kill me. I pushed him back and took off.  I ran into the closet and locked it. I took a deep breath. I heard a knock at the door.

"GO AWAY!" I screamed, pulling my knees to my chest.

"JAYDEN LET ME IN!" I heard Carter screaming, "TRUST ME! I WON'T HURT YOU!" I opened the door and see Carter was standing there concern. I saw him covered in blood and holding a knife. I tried to shut the door but  Carter caught the door.

"Please do-do-don't h-hu-hurt me," I stuttered, covering my face. I felt a gently touch on my shoulder. I looked up and saw it was Carter but normal, "Thank god. Has it been an hour?" I asked.

"No, I'm afraid not," Carter whispered.

"How long do I have?" I said, getting shaky.

"forty-five minutes," he said. I nodded. I saw something coming behind Carter.

"C-C-Carter there something be-be-behind you," I said, pointing at the figure. Carter looked behind him.

"Jayden there nothing there," Cater said. I saw the guy getting closer then stabbed Carter. I saw the blood and knife. The knife cut out his heart and threw it at me. I starts crying again. I closed my eyes, "Jayden? hey looked at me?" I heard his voice and opened my eyes. I saw he was okay.

"Thank god," I whispered, pulling him in a hug.

"I don't think he can help much but okay," Carter said, hugging me back. I'm glad I can hear his heart beating.  I pulled away to see if it was really him.

"It's just you and the living breathing version of you," I smiled, tears started to run.

"Yeah. Man, I never thought it would be this bad," he said, rubbing my arm.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, you usually. It would effect me but I guess when you scared I must hit you," Carter said, looking down at his feet, "But don't worry it's almost worn off. Just ten more minutes," he said sweetly.

"I guess I can last for ten minutes," I smiled at him, "but could you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Sure what is it?" Carter asked.

"Could I hug you?" I asked, looking down.

"Of course, I know what your going through," he said sitting down and pulling me into a hug.  I can hear his heart beat. I could listen to it all day. I close my eyes and slowly start to breath normal.

"I bet you are not use to helping people with this," I chuckled lightly.

"You are right about that. You are the first," I heard him chuckled lightly. It was music to me. I felt myself slowly slipping into sleep.

~Carter

I could tell that Jayden is exhausted for being in fear for an hour. I got up and carried him off to bed. I walked into his room and place him gently on the bed. I kissed his forehead for some odd reason and walked out and back into the training room. I continue to train for the rest of the day
