A Hard Day's Night (Maximillian, Open)

[damienblack]

How I love when a plan comes together, Damien thought to himself. Who wouldve thought kidnapping Maximillian would have be so easy? Cain wanted him for something, he knew that, but what for he couldnt place. Carrying the young mutant, he descended from the sky above the island and brought him towards the main compound. The cell in the lower level should hold him, he thought to himself. He dragged Maximillian down to the very depths of the base, his quarry struggling to get out the whole time. "Welcome to the place where Nightmares are born and your worst dreams become your darkest reality. For now I have you and that means all hope is lost" Damien said.

He opened the large electrified cell and threw in the boy. He knew that contact would be made soon between him and Cain, and that Damien would get his reward. After all, he had been faithfully serving the Nightmares for awhile now and this was just another successful mission. Hopefully Cain would finally realize this. But for now he would guard his captured prize like a lion guarding their meal. For this boy was important for some reason, and that was all that Damien needed to know.

[seap]

Max screamed. "Please, let me go. You have the wrong person. I'm nothing important, please, i just want to go home." Max began to cry but then remembered his powers and tried to think of what to do. He thought hard, he knew Damien was powerful but perhaps it would be worth a try to try and escape, he thought he was going to die anyway so what was the harm? Max tried using his ability to change his density and just about managed to walk through the cell and try to push Damien back with his telekinetic powers. Max thought he might be able to push him back slightly, if not then he knew how weak he'd look. Max turned to try and run and was running up the stairs taking them three at a time, just to try and avoid Damien and the fate that awaited him when his boss arrived for him. He just wanted to run to Sam and hug him but he didn't even know where he was, so he decided that the school would be the next best place to be, well anywhere would be better then right here right now.

"Perfect. It's complete and ready for testing. Now I just need my first test subject."

Cain was putting the finishing touches on the program he copied from Apocalypse's device. The one Apocalypse used was to connect with Crystal's brain and cause her blackouts and headaches to disappear. The modified version that Cain now held between his two fingers was different, and more ly. When attach to someone's skin, it would bury themselves deep inside the tissue and connect with the main vein of the body that went to the brain. He had learned from Crystal's removal of her device that just attaching it to the skin wasn't enough.

He heard the yelling coming from the hall and walked out, just in time to see a mutant he hadn't seen before running up the stairs. He grinned and ducked behind the wall, touching the material to make himself just as solid. He waited until the noise got closer, then held his arm out to catch the boy in a clothesline. He knew that the boy's fear of this place would cause him to lose focus and hopefully lose it enough to cause himself to run right into Cain's now stone-like arm.

[seap]

Max had kept his ghost like state on from running through the cage, he ran through Cain's arm but then saw him and winced in fear. He tried to push Cain back, although max had very powerful powers he wasn't that good at controlling them and the telekinetic blast wasn't very strong as he was held in fear. He didn't like the fact that his powers were getting faulty, his left leg had sunk into the floor and the rest of his body had gotten rock hard. He saw an object and sent into hurtling towards Cain hoping that it might put him off of Max. But he knew it wouldn't be as simple as just sending an object at him and trying to push him telekinetically, Cain was the leader of the nightmares and Max knew he was in trouble. He started to cry. "Why do you want me? I'm nothing special, please, let me go. It's not fair, i want to go home, please, let me go home." Max pleaded all he could, hoping that Cain would show mercy towards Max. Max managed to get his foot out of the floor but he knew that it wouldn't help him very much.

[cain]

Cain was a bit surprised that Max had run through his arm, but seeing the boy tremble to the point of sinking into the ground made him laugh. He started towards Max, even as the object came at him, clipping the side of his face, the force sent at him causing bits of his stone form to collapse. He stopped for a moment, regaining his form before continuing.

"I'll let you go, after I test my new device on you."

He was in front of Max when he managed to pull his leg out, waiting for the boy to become solid again before grabbing his collar and lifting him into the air. He raised his other stone hand, the fingers turning into spikes that pressed hard against his throat. He didn't know where this boy's home was, but from Damien had mentioned in the report, he was a member of the X-Men, which only meant one thing. He belonged to the mansion, one of the places Cain needed an inside man, and thanks to Damien he found one.

"Now, are you going to cooperate, or shall I let myself be the last thing your miserable eyes see? Your choice of course."

[seap]

Max started crying his eyes out. "Please, i want my boy friend, please, let me go i just want to go home. You don't want me you want someone else." Max pushed as hard as he could with his telekinesis and he fell to the ground, he tried crawling backwards while still staring at Cain. Max then tried sinking through the floor but he felt something grab him when he was halfway through the floor. He thought to himself that he was going to die, but he knew that Cain needed him for some reason, whether it was because of his powers which were aparentently extremely powerful, not the most powerful but stil incredibly powerful. Max also thought it might be because he has connection to both the mansion and the brother hood. Even though no one was meant to know about the brother hood bit. He thought that maybe someone in the nightmares had mind reading powers and saw it, not a lot of his ideas actually made a lot of sense. He spoke to the person who grabbed him, or more shouted. "Let me go! You have the wrong person, you don't need me at all."

[cain]

"Shut up!"

Cain was getting tired of the boy's constant whining and wanting to be let go. He brought his stone hand back and slapped the kid across the face hard. He then turned and began to carry Max back down the ramp to the dungeons again. He stopped when he saw Damien standing outside the cell that Max was suppose to be in.

"You failed to keep an eye on the prisoner. Don't let me do your work for you again."

He narrowed his eyes at one of the newer members, then proceeded into his lab. He took Max and sat him roughly in the chair and used the metallic binds on the arms and leg rests to lock him in. He then walked to the counter where he had his first prototype ready to be used. He chuckled and walked to Max, grabbing his head and pushing it forward.

"Now hold still, you're going to feel a slight pinch."

"slight pinch" was an understatement. As soon as the device attached itself to the back of Max's neck, the thing burrowed deep into the skin until it found and latched onto the cortex of the brain, causing him to fall completely under Cain's control.

[seap]

Max screamed louder than he had ever thought was possible. "Stop! Please! Help me! Ahhhhhhhh!" Max cried his eyes out, he felt so much pain he didn't know how he was still alive. He felt it attach itself to the cortex of his brain, but he knew that he'd have to give a command first before it could take effect. Max breathed heavily, the pain was shrinking, he managed to gain enough energy to spit at Cain's face. "How dare you do this you a**e hole! You have no idea who you're dealing with!" He looked at Cain and waited for a reaction from him, he wasn't exactly going to thank him for spitting his saliva on to his face, infact it was most likely going to be the almost exact opposite of that. He waited for his reaction, Cain will probably get very angry and very violent at Max. Not the angry where he'd use his full name: Maximillian Jacob Nathan Cole. But it was most likely going to be so much more angry and a lot more violent. Max was scared of what was going to happen to him, completely petrified.

[cain]

"Boy, I can do whatever I want. You're in my control now, and just to make sure you stay that way..."

He wiped away the saliva from his cheek, striking the boy once more across the face. He then walked to the control room, hitting the activation switch for the chip. The "bug" invaded his mind and practically took it over, but the pain it caused was like the entire inside of Max feeling like it was burning up his inside, which only made Cain smile.

Cain paced around him, watching as his first test subject reacted to the device. When the pain subsided, Cain looked directly into Max's eyes, wondering if it had indeed worked on the boy. He hoped, for the boy's sake, that it did, otherwise he would just have to mark it as a failure and terminate both the program and the body the program was in.

"Max, can you hear me? You belong to me now. You follow my commands and obey only the words I speak to you. Do you understand?"

He stood straight and stepped back, waiting to see whether his answer would be a yes or a no. His only worry was that the device had completely overloaded Max's mind, but so far there was no negative effect.

[seap]

Max glared at Cain. "What do you think d**k head? You put you're little device in me, obviously i know what it does, doesn't mean i have to speak nicely to you. Now how about you take this thing out of me and i promise not to get my cousin on you. You really don't want to mess with him, he will completely destroy you, no matter what your pathetic little power is. You got that? Suck my c**k." He said almost spitting, his voice was filled with hate and despise. He knew that Cain wouldn't react well to this, expacially the last three words that he said. Max knew he would probably get a smack or maybe he'd do something even worse than that. Max knew that Cain being told to do a homosexual act would insult him, espacially since it came from a homosexual of all people. He expected something extremely bad to happen to him, whether is was being struck once again, being thrown across the room, anything that involved pain on Max's behalf. Max looked right into Cain's eyes, awaiting his punishment for his name calling and also the three words that should have offended him the most.

[cain]

"You're a stubborn little brat aren't you? Let's see if we can change that."

He smiled, walking passed Max and wiping the spit off his face and onto the boy's shoulder. He walked over to the console where the program for his device was kept. He looked over at Max, seeing the back of his head.

"You see, the best thing about these little toys is they come with a safety program, a little insurance if you will. You can try to tell someone that it's inside you, but you will never be able to, but here's the fun part. Disobedience and failure gives me the pleasure of doing this."

He smiled and pressed a small button on the keyboard, and the small "bug" inside Max sent voltage through his entire body. It wasn't enough to kill him, but the sudden feeling of your body becoming a human electric chair was enough to make anybody wish he did. Cain loved his work, loved spying and stealing from enemies, but his favorite thing to do above all others was . He enjoyed it when he did it to Ian, and was enjoying it with Max.

"Do we have an understanding? Or do you wish for me to give you another dose?"

[seap]

Max screamed in pain as a large electric shockl was sent right through him. His muscles tensed and he jerked in the chair. Max sighed when it was over. "OK, i get it. But if anyone finds out this is in me, my boyfriend, my cousin. You will wish you'd never even laid eyes on me. I may not be able to control my powers, but they can. They can control their powers so eaisly it's unbelievable. Don't under estimate me, my family or my boyfriend because you will regret it." Max used his power and made his arm move through the locks and waved at Cain. "Should have done your research on my powers really." Max stood up, in his ghost form so he could walk away from the chair without being held back by the metallic binds, Max had hoped that the chip would fall out but it obviously had some sort of immunity to his powers, maybe even without Cain knowing it, Max tried to see if he could trick Cain. "You see everything passes right through me. Including your little chip, you ready to start sucking my c**k now? You little son of a b**ch?" Max hoped that Cain wouldn't realise that the chip was still in Max's brain, Max used his telekinesis to send another object hurtling towards Cain's face. "Evil little s**t!"

[violet]

"Please, all the noise is grating on some of our ears." The soft whispery voice came from the stairs that led down to the dungeon and laboratories. It was crazy, that the owner of such an angelic voice would be among the ranks of the Nightmares. Slowly and gracefully Violet took a few steps closer to the commotion. The ghost of a boy was near Cain, and an object was flying towards Cain. With a small sigh, Violet stepped closer and closer to the ghost boy, the source of all the trouble. The closer she got, the stronger the smell of violets would become, but not just that, the stronger the smell, the weaker Maximillian would feel, it would get harder and harder to use his power. And when she was only five feet away the smell was overpowering, as if you were in a field of violets, and he wouldn't be able to use his powers at all.

"Would you try and calm down, please? That sort of language is not fit to be used in any situation." She smiled sweetly, and it actually looked sweet! Like she was being sincerely honest and kind hearted about the whole matter. She was quite charming, actually. When she wanted to be at least. And right now happened to be one of those times. It would be near impossible to stay mad at her for any reason other then the fact that you could use your powers around her. A soft rustling was heard from behind her as something white shifted against her back. A single pure white feather broke free from her large wings, slowly and gracefully spiraling to the stone floor.

[cain]

"Really now? I am worried for my life then."

He smirked as he watched Max move through the chair and stand up, mocking him and throwing insults. Another object was thrown at him, but unfortunately he wasn't able to change quickly and was hit in the shoulder. He growled and looked to Max who seemed to be having fun with this.

"Well then, if it indeed fell out, then I guess you won't be hurt when this happens!"

Again the button was pressed, Cain calling Max's bluff. He smiled as more volts of electricity was sent through him, and Cain held the button down for as long as he pleased. He would've held it longer until a soft and sweet voice came down the halls, followed by the familiar form of Violet. He sighed, wondering what she was doing wandering so freely into his lab.

"Must you interrupt my fun? If you're here for the show then sit back and relax. I'm breaking in my new toy."

He laughed softly even as she spoke sweetly to Max, sending another watt of electricity through the boy's veins. The pain and the screams was like candy to his ears.

[seap]

Max screamed in pain as a large number of volts went right through his veins, he fell to the floor in pain. He then pointed at Violet. "You know if you'd brought down a fit boy instead of her i'd be more inclined to do what you say, but i'm not really into her, or her type for that matter. You should really do you research i mean if you'd gotten a fit boy to come and flirt with me a bit you'd have me under your control in no time, but instead you go for a girl. Plus, my cousins are powerful and if they ever find out what you've done to me then they'll come here and slaughter every last one of you." Max knew that Violet was draining his power, he knew that was her power, he could feel it. Max glared at Cain. "You're such a w**ker you know that? You're attacking a child, of all people, you're so tough for attacking a child when you're middle aged aren't you." Max then looked at Violet again but then looked back towards Cain and waited.
