Unstoppable

Music associated with this post.

There were too many of them, too many simple, sane, and completely human people around. They looked at him like he was a god, like he was awe inspiring. And everything about it made Johnathan pale, made him want to shrink back into the room Cray had provided for him in this damned asylum. It had to have been days since he'd seen outside. As it was, the only thing helping him track time were the lights on timers just outside his door.

They dimmed every 'night' before the guards would come and shuffle them about back to their rooms.

He was keeping them distant, keeping them all scared. He was disorienting them by not allowing them outside. Cray was a psychopath. And the longer he stayed here, the more likely it was for him to be killed in a fit of insanity.

Johnathan can feel his legs shake beneath him, he could feel the fear building around him and in him, and he knew now that he could use it. He could use it to take one of the guards, to get out. If his fear kept growing, the kids in the rooms next to him would start to feel it too, if he didn't get out of here, he was going to ruin the place.

Cray would have a revolution on his hands.

Five steps away from his door. He'd counted and he's measure before. This guard was tall, but a little overweight, he was proud, and he didn't care how loudly he moved about. This man didn't fear anything, anyone.

Johnathan could change that. The slight man finds himself on his knees against the door, watching under the crack for the other man to pass. Just one step past the door, then Johnathan can open it, reach out and grab him. Grab him, warp him. Let the fear seep into his mind.

Four.

Three

Two.

One.

He can see the shadow slip past his door, and Johnathan ducks low. Once his door was opened, the guard would strip out, would aim for a face that wouldn't be there.

Deep breath, control this fear, it's a part of you.

It all seems to happen in seconds, the door flies open and the butt of the gun strikes out just above his head, Johnathans' hand reaching out to grab onto the other mans wrist and disarm him with skill that had been so deeply ingrained into him from his job with the FBI.

It was a wonder the man didn't wind up with a broken wrist. But there it was, that contact he needed to push this much fear into the other mans mind.

"You need to get out of here. Run. Run to the exit." His voice was soft, but the fear was working, and soon enough the once proud guard is struggling to get away, he's struggling to run and not stumble over the gun he'd abandoned in his process.

And Johnathan is following, he's a few feet behind at all times, eyes wide and observant as they ran through the base. This wouldn't work if they got caught by another guard, or if he got stuck behind a locked door.

But soon enough they're through the living areas, and they're headed up, farther and father, up flights of stairs and raps, around large boxes and containers.

If his timing was correct, they would wind up outside in the middle of the night... But the farther up the went, the more sounds came to him, the more people he saw out of the corner of his eyes.

It's not the middle of the night, it's mid day, it's prime time.

Johnathan barely has time to brace himself to the realization before the last door is thrown open and the sun pours in. The pain from going out of a simulated night state into blaring sun was almost enough to drive him to his knees. But he was too close, he was feet away from freedom.

The sounds are loud, cars, people, laughing, everything seemed to be too much, it was almost enough to drive him back through the door.

Breathe. Walk. Get away from the door.

One step was all he needed, one step away and he wouldn't look back, but he's frozen, his eyes are wide. He'd made it to the outside of Cray Enterprises, he'd made it to the loading bay.

He was almost to safety, but he couldn't take that damned first step.
