Hidden In The Darkness

"Where's Derek Simmonds?, he was supposed to meet us here half an hour ago" whispered Gabriel Bishop. "I was just wondering that, I'm starting to get nervous. It could be a company trap", replied Irony. "Don't worry about it" said Claude, "The Company doesn't operate in this way, if they wanted to trap us they'd burst in all guns blazing. Not in public, it's never in public". A few minutes past, but nobody came. "It's 4 O'clock, I think he has arrived" said Claude, being sure not directly to look in the direction of the man who just walked in. "It could be him" said Gabriel. "Um, excuse me, are you Claude?" asked a nervous Derek Simmonds. "Depends whose asking" replied Claude. "I phoned you yesterday, you said you know people with abilities too." Derek responded. "Yes, yes I do" said Claude, holding his hand up and making it go invisible, while Gabriel Bishop made the pencil in his hand turn to gold. "What's your power?" asked Claude. "I can make electricity, just by clicking my fingers and it flies out". "Why did you phone us? Have you got a problem with your power?" asked Irony. "Yes, Can we go somewhere else? I really need to show you. It's hard to explain" replied Derek. Half an hour later, Claude, Gabriel Bishop, Irony and Derek arrived at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of London. "So what's the problem with your power then?" Gabriel Bishop asked. "Whenever I use it, I discharge. I release so much it is hard for me to stop" replied Derek. "Maybe I can help" said Irony "My power is to reduce the powers of others, if you learn use it while it is weakened you should be able to use it when it is a the usual strength". Claude and Irony were showing Derek Simmonds how to use his power when Gabriel Bishop saw something out of the corner of his eye. A moment later he caught sight of something in the shadows. Suddenly, a company agent burst into the warehouse. Gabriel Bishop stopped time and saw the company agent, who was just starting to release fire from his hands. Gabriel Bishop, seeing the agent go for Derek, used telekinesis to a crash door into the agent. The fight raged on with Gabriel Bishop always staying a step up from the agent. But Gabriel Bishop slipped up, he let the agent hit him with a burst of fire. The agent, who was just about to scorch Gabriel Bishop, released a cataclysmic burst of fire, however just as it was about to hit Gabriel Bishop it trickled away into a tiny flame. The agent looked round, he saw Irony had grasped his arm and was draining his power. Gabriel Bishop and Claude, proceeded to tie up the agent and Irony, Derek, Gabriel Bishop and Claude left, with the agent bound up inside.

Nemesis

The Company agent screamed as he was tortured by Gabriel Bishop. Gabriel electrocuted him while Derek and Irony threw buckets of water over him. "Why are you here" shouted Claude. "I was sent by Mrs Petrelli to bag and tag Derek". "Me!" exclaimed Derek "Why me?". Suddenly, while they torturing the company agent, his partner came up behind them. "Watch out" shouted Irony. The agents partner fired, 6 shots hit Gabriel Bishop but he healed instantly thanks to a certain cheerleader. However, they both escaped only to be pursued through the allies of London. "We lost them" said Claude, "Don't worry" said Gabriel "We know how they work, they wont back for a while". Claude stole some fish and chips using his ability, they then returned to the warehouse were Gabriel took Derek and irony into a room to help Derek learn to control his abilty.
