Stun-Man: The Masters stories 2

Chapter 26: Story Time

Sebastian talked with Don. Sebastian told him everything that he was going to do with Don and why. Now it was Don's turn to say where he's been.

"Don." Sebastian stopped him. "Before we go, where have you been? You didn't tell me."

"Well, it's a long story. Apparently, my 'dad' is actually an agent for S.W.O.R.D. as well as my 'mom'. I went to their secret base, or one of them at least. I met this cool guy named Darrell. He is... He's just really cool. Talking to my dad and him, we were able to figure out why the Twins were here, and I even hunted them down."

Sebastian almost tripped over his own steps hearing this. "You what?! Why would you do that?!"

"Look, while you were gone, people died because I failed to protect them. I had the chance to end it and I tried to take it." Don said defending himself.

"You didn't stop to think things through, did​ you? You didn't take at least one lousy minute to think what might happen?!" Sebastian was angry because Don could have died.

"There was no time! I had to follow them while I had the chance. They were unpredictable. Their still out there and we have no idea what they'll do next!"

Sebastian sighed and held his head in frustration. He took a minute then finally spoke, a bit more calm. "Don't do it again. Not unless you have someone with you." Not unless I'm with you. He wanted to say that, but he knew he shouldn't.

"Lesson learned." Don said looking at his cast. He stopped limping but forgot​to take off the cast. "This is what happened. They poisoned me, and almost killed me, but hesitated last minute because something caught their attention. It also caught mine as well."

"What was it?" Sebastian asked, concerned.

"I don't know, really, but it was coming from the West. It felt like... I don't know how else to describe it, but it was like a feeling of something being awoken, rising up, unleashed. That sort of thing."

Sebastian smiled. "I know what that was."

Don turned his head to look at Sebastian while taking the cast off.

"That was me. When I finally unlocked my magic."

"Really?!" Don asked amazed.

"Yep. It was locked away for so long, building up. So when I unlocked it, I'm pretty sure anyone would be able to sense it. That also proves something as well." He looked back at Don who finished taking off his cast.

"What's that?"

"You truly do have magic. I know this now for sure. The entrance we came through, only people with magic can come in. You can in because you got magic in you. And it's slowly, more slowly than mine was, oozing out. Giving signs that it's there."

"Amazing..." Don whispered to himself.

Yeah. It was pretty amazing. Especially the fact that, if it does this, no one can sense it. Small things like that can't be sensed if it happens uncontrollably. So he had been safe for a long time.

"Now", Sebastian said wrapping up the conversation. "Let's go get you some magic."

He led Don into the room he had been training in. "Jesus Christ!!! Did someone die in here?!"

"Nope. It's just training can get really intense if you determine yourself."

"No kidding..."

Sebastian clapped his hands together. "Well Don. Let's start."
