: 4. Accidental Death :

Tyler and Josh where ushered roughly  to seperate rooms. The room was large, with mustard yellow walls with mysterious dark stains Josh figured he'd be better of not know what it was. There was a large panel of glass on the wall beside the door, obviously a one-way since he only saw his reflection.

But Tyler could see them. Those brooding, malicious eyes that craved power. And as of now, they had it. But if Josh stuck to his word their reign wont last for much longer.

The scientist leaned over and mashed his finger against the button to talk into the room where the duo stood.
Tyler folded his tanned arms, emotion fading completely from his dark brown eyes.

"Mr. Joseph, I see you have made a new friend. Why don't you get to know him better?"

Tyler glanced over at Josh to find him already staring back with confusion. It only deepened when the Doctor said,

"Try not to kill this one, yes? He's special."

Tyler scowled at the man, talking to him in such a condescending tone as if he was some untamed pitbull.

"Begin."

Josh rose an eyebrow at the urgentness. He was still so very confused. Even more so when he noticed two guards posted at the back corners of the room. He didn't notice when they had walked in but it made his skin crawl. Their eyes, almost as dead as Tyler's but they stood with the  stillness and discipline of a roman soilder.

Josh stood by a mark, and Tyler the other across the room.

"What is this, the Hunger Games?" Josh tried to joke to lighten up the situation seeing as there where weapons in the back.

"What's that?" Tyler furrowed his eyebrows. Josh's face relaxed with realizing that Tyler must've been here way longer than he thought.

The entercom boared out, the doctor scolding the two to get along with it.
Tyler narrowed his eyes, red eyes seeing through the wall. There was another man there. One he actually didn't recognize.

The brunette didn't actually want to (accidentally) kill Josh, but he usually let his power get the best of him and that's where everything goes Code Red. What he didn't know is, that's Josh's same exact problem. Actually the same reason he got caught. It was foriegn for the police to get a call about a fire that erupted in a locker room, with no sign of any matches, or gasoline. And the only trace was a print of feet with singed clothes pooling around it.

Hazel met grey as Josh watched the brunette. "Let's give them a show." Tyler smirked.

Josh nodded sharply, rolling up his sleeves with determination in his eyes. He decided to be as tactical as possible to refrain from using his powers, meaning a lesslikely chance of killing Tyler. The brunette seemed to get the idea as he was suddenly laying on the floor winded and eyes wide as Josh's shadow emerged above him.  Josh's victorious smile taunted Tyler, the brunette quickly swept his feet from beneath him and straddled Josh's waist. He was quick to deliver a sharp punch to Josh's chin. He cringed at the sound from his own action, eyes going wide as he saw Josh's immunity to it and the curly haired man didnt so much as flinch.

Josh shoved Tyler so he was now laying on his back, he didn't want to hurt him but the fight had to look real. His large fist collided against Tyler's cheekbone, leaving a  red mark bound to form a bruise. He hit his jaw, Tyler spitting blood before looking up at Josh through his eyelashes. And what Josh was not what he'd expected. Red plagued Tyler's once deep brown eyes.

"Ty- shit!" Josh was a immediately cut off as Tyler growled viciously and grabbed a handful of Josh's orange jumpsuit, his knees pressed between the two, Tyler's boots mashed against the others chest and sent him flying up towards the wall.

Josh's back rammed against the ceiling, debris fell beside the brunette from the impact. Josh scrambled to find his balance as gravity decided to let him fall back down. His own boots cratered the ground as he landed, his knees bent, hands supporting him as he stood up. His eyes growing darker.
"So you want to play like that, huh?" Josh barked and Tyler watched Josh's eyes shine bright green, hair matching in color as he lifted his hands slowly.

The ground tremored. The guards standing in the corner grew anxious, holding onto the wall as more debris fell and the lights flickered. The cement from the ceiling and glass from broken lights lifted into the air. Tyler narrowed his eyes, his hands burning black to prepare for Josh's oncoming attack. But before he knew it the debris where barrelling towards the brunette with simply the forward motion of his hands.

The red eyed man gained cuts on his skin and a large rock against his body causing him to fall back. He huffed angrily before his eyes burned even brighter, holding his hands up sending a wave of red energy towards Joshua who stumbled back by the sudden wave of energy. He gained his posture, a small hidden smile playing at his lips as he brought his hands to his face, seeing Tyler's red energy being absorbed into his skin and highlighting his veins.

Tyler watched with wide red eyes, unable to hide his surprise. A strangled noise emitted from now the red headed man as he struggled to contain the others energy. Suddenly the entire room pulsated Tyler's red energy, that seemed to adapt to Josh and then release energy much powerful than before.

The guards where basically on the edge of death. Josh was exhausted, never having felt such a force before he stumbled, barely able to stand.

He coughed, waving his hands as dust clouds consumed the confined area. "Tyler?" Josh called out, his throat sore and hands trembling. He tried to keep his shaking at ease but the ground still tremored here and there.

Josh's boot soon hit a solid figure. Josh narrowed his eyes, which briefly flashed white as he commanded the wind to clear out of the area to see clearly. His eyes widened in horror.

"Oh my god, Tyler."

Josh immediately crouched down, his two fingers placed against Tyler's warm neck trying to feel for a pulse that wasnt there. "Tyler?!" Josh shouted.

Soon the doors burst open and a man with a large stomach and thick rimmed glasses emerged through the shadows with a small team of nurses behind him, and a man with striking blue eyes with a strong jaw. They noticed Josh's frantic movements and one of the nurses tried to pull him away, only making Josh latch onto Tyler harder. "Leave me alone. He's hurt!" Josh shouted.

"Exactly." The nurse replied causing Josh to look up with dark eyes. "I need to evaluate him."

"He'll be fine." The pot-bellied doctor stated. Josh stood reluctantly away from Tyler to glare at both of the men.

"How are you so sure?"

"Didn't feel a pulse, did you?" The blue eyed man asked questionably. Josh didn't reply so the man found that as an answer.

"Well he's not dead. Not unless his, shall I say, alter ego, says he can."

"Excuse me?" Josh's eyes softened briefly as he saw Tyler's limp body being carried out.

"He's stuck in the place between earth and death. A celestial plane if you will."

"Why are you telling me this?" Josh asked, he really wanted to end this conversation and leave. From this place and definitely from their scrutinizing looks.

The taller man glanced down at the pot bellied man. His eyes suddenly serious as he noticed the doctor was distracted with talking to the nurse.
"Because it will help in the future." He said. "Remember me. Remember my name. Tomas Shelby." He forced out before Josh's direction was suddenly pulled from the blue eyed man to the doctor who had no idea as to what the man- Tomas- had just said.

"As much as I'd like to stay and chat with you heathen, you seemed to have critically injured one of my best subjects." The doctor scolded and glanced up at Tomas for back up, who only clenched his jaw and spun on his heel, already out the door without a word.
