Heat - Part 32

[(Anonymous)]

Charles almost didn’t see the hole in the fence at first. He had approached the fence of the scrap yard with hope rising in his chest and was so fixed upon it that the hole didn’t even register. When he did notice it, however, he recoiled slightly. Whatever had happened there had not been the work of Erik’s mutation. Instead of the wire being curled back or even pulled across, the edges of the wire were blackened and crisp, as if they had been burned or blasted away by something powerful. Charles felt slightly sickened when he realised that this powerful weapon was probably Shaw’s. Spurred on by this thought and his fear for Erik, Charles immediately screwed up his courage and pushed through the hole in the gate.

It wasn’t hard to figure out where Erik was. Not only did the sounds coming from the centre of the yard give his location away, but the sight of various metal objects hurtling through the air were also something of a major clue.

Charles didn’t so much as pause. Picking up speed, he raced over to where the commotion was coming from.

And then came to an abrupt halt at the sight that met his eyes.

Erik was hurling metal towards what looked like an upright metal coffin that seemed to be in the process of being destroyed from the inside out. It took Charles a moment to realise what was happening and he paled upon the realisation that there was someone inside the box! He couldn’t sense him, but he knew without a doubt that the person inside was none other than Sebastian Shaw. And he knew, with equal certainty, that Erik meant to kill him.

And so Charles did the only thing that he could. Reaching out with his mind, he brushed against Erik’s and shouted.

Erik!
