The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Thirty-Six- Holy Shit

Jordan's pov
We walked out the room, and the man took his hat off and held it to his heart. I rolled my eyes at how dramatic he was being, seriously if you aren't put up for the job, don't even take it. I could've kept walking but i didn't exactly know where i was going. This place was way nicer than the lab, upgraded and the tiles were smooth to the touch. I groaned and snapped around, facing the mourning man that was supposed to escort me. "Are we just gonna stand here or are we gonna go?" I said impatiently as i looked from him to the hall in front of us. He quickly stood straight and yanked my arm as he kept walking. "Hey! What the hell is your problem big guy?" I yelled as i tried to get out of his tight grip. I pulled my arm until it was red when it hit me, fucking super strength. I groaned and grew mad at myself. "So you're just not gonna talk now? I would appreciate my arm being released from your death grip!" I snapped, a flare going in between my vision. "Yeah?! Well i would appreciate my team ALIVE and my brother still breathing right now, but guess we don't get what we want,huh?" He screamed at me, making me flinch ever so slightly. It didn't scare me that much, just grew me mad. My blood boiled and i snapped my hand to him, pushing my force into him making him fly back into the not so smooth anymore wall. "Sorry that you're not cut enough for the job tough stuff, maybe you should look into where you're working at? People here, they die. And it only gets worse, of if you aren't good enough, you're dead." I walked towards him shoving my finger through is armor, leaving a dent through it. "And people... people like me, they won't hesitate to murder people. Because that's how we're made. We are made to kill, and that's all. I didn't even know that i had half the abilities i have now, so suck yo your tragic story because everyone here has one. You aren't special you dipshit." I stared into his steel grey eyes as i burned holes through him. If looks could kill, he'd probably be dead. "Oh 474, ya' know you aren't as strong as you think you are. Or even how you used to be." He leaned up to me, overpowering me. "I'm Jared, nice to meet ya." He whispered the last part before shoving me back, i would've fell into the wall, when a couple of arms caught me and wrapped a thick metal that burned my skin. I screamed at the feeling stronger than ever, as i got dragged away by a man that has held me. I struggled until my wrists were getting burned and my arms felt like noodles. Eventually i gave up, as i was thrown into a very similar room to the one i was in before, but dimmer and a dull yellow color on the walls instead of a pale white. What caught my attention was the two way mirror directly next to me. I walked up to it, and tapped the glass impatiently. "Hey fuckers, you guys are getting real creative with these rooms right?" I said with a hint of sarcasm and a chuckle. I kept knocking on the glass when i heard a muffle from behind me. I froze. Scared out of my life i turned a switch on in me. Almost like i had modes of normal and dangerous. The dangerous side of me was taking over without my consent as i slowly crept around. I gasped at my viewing. Holding my hand to my mouth as a single but slightl squeal left my throat. "Holy fucken shit" I gasped taking a step back.

Colbys pov
   I snapped my eyes open, confused as fuck i looked around. Traphouse. I sit up and rub my temples in a groan. Just as i look up i see Sam and Jakes gaze burning through me. I jump back at the sight "h-holy shit." I hold my heart and close my eyes. "Yeah holy shit! Where the hell were you?! Where's Jordan? Who's the guy with Brennen that came in here at four in the morning and crashed in the garage?" Sam bombarded me with questions i could barley answer. Jake didn't say a word which surprised me as i looked from him to Sam. "Okay, okay, let me clear this up." I rubbed my head and inhaled a lot of unnecessary air, before i spoke i was cut off by Brennen Taylor. "Holy shit! i thought i was dead for a split second. Thank you world, i love you." I held his heart and dabbed up the air. The three of us just looked at him weirdly. Damn avatar has taught him too much, he met my gaze and his eyes lit up. "Colbbyy! My manz, how ya doing? Ya know, i single handily dragged you and Reggers here after we almost DIED!" He laughed a bit and messed his hair up. "Reggers? As in Reggie?" Jake asked looking between us, then to Reggies limp body on the floor. "Wait wait wait, you mean THE Reggie? The one that.. i don't know, disappeared of the face of the earth?! As in Reggie Webber?!" Sam screamed and held his head before teleporting to the side of the couch Brennen was laying at. I went to say something but Jake cut me off mid breath. "How long?" His eyes burned into mine, he had just found out he can slightly detect lies, it's crazy how the older we get, the more powerful and wiser we are. He claims he just focuses on the small details and like a tweak in his head telling him it wasn't truthful. "What are you talking about?" I groaned and leaned back on the couch, breaking eye contact for just a split second. "How long have you known about Reggie? What happened to him and why do you all of a sudden know him?" Jakes voice poured out anger, i blinked a couple of times, getting pissed off myself. I was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off anytime now. "Excuse me? Don't you think i would've.. i don't know, TOLD you he was alive? We had a FUNERAL for him Jake!" Yep that's it i was off. "I have been trying to explain how this whole fucking situation happened in the first place and i can't even fucking breathe! I just woke up, i still barley know what happened goddamit!" Jake stood up and walked over to me, making me stand up too, our tense body's were neck and neck, as our looks burned into eachother. We were both steaming right now and it was only a matter of time until we broke out fist and fist. "Don't fucking yell at me Brock, i could beat your ass anytime and kick you off the mother fucking squad anytime." I scoffed at his words as they rolled off his tongue. I took an inch closer, just to seem slightly more intimidating, "do it then, tough stuff; like to see how long you could go without me." His jaw clenched as a small grin came across my face, i could use a fight right about now. To be honest, i could beat him but it would be extremely close. Before things could escalate Sam jumped in between us, shoving us in opposite directions. "Are you guys serious? Way to be mature y'all, and the top leaders too." He pointed to Jake sternly, his face heating up by the second. "You. Need to stop acting like a wuss and man the fuck up! If that's really your brother, i suggest you not try and pick a fight with the only person that knows the most here!" He yelled and Jake looked at the ground then quickly back up, nodding slightly and walking away angry. I bit my cheek holding in my laughter and Sam snapped his head towards me. "And YOU." He pointed at me, making me point back at myself, "me?! What the hell dude!" I yelled as he scoffed and nodded. "Yeah you! What the hell is wrong with you? First off, you sneak off in the middle of the night, only telling Brennen where you're going, ouch by the way. Then you have the whole house shaken up because you're gone for four plus hours! Then a bruised up Brennen magically shows up busting through our door, half out with you and an almost complete stranger in his grasp! Also, where the hell is Jordan?! Because i know damn well you went to see her but you didn't return with her. Did she finally beat your ass for good?" I knew he wasn't done but he still stopped and shook his head at me, transmuting next to me, looking straight ahead."I just, i can't believe you man. Ever since Jet came back, it's like you're trying to make up for what happened." I turned to look at him straight in his eyes. "Because i am, Sam. You don't know how terrible i felt for messing up that one mission. Even after so many more, it was still an ich at the back of my head. I kept thinking to myself 'maybe if i was faster' or 'maybe if i wasn't as stupid as before' i could've got to her before David." My voice cracked slightly at the end in anger, and Sam sighed. "You can't, just change the past magically brother. Maybe if you had that ability, but everything happening is happening for a reason, and every choice you make is gonna have a different path, and you have to deal with that. Because that's life. You're gonna get thrown things at you , you can't handle. But i know you can, because you're the strongest person i know, mentally." He punched my shoulder lightly "and physically." I chuckled and nodded. "Thanks Sam, i needed that." I smiled, fixing my hair. "Oh i know you did." He exclaimed widening his eyes and walking away. "Psh, whatever." I laughed and turned back to the boys on the couch. "What the hell did we get into."
