changehistory: ([Peter] - fear me love me do as I say)
[personal profile] changehistory
Regrets I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption
I've planned each charted course
Each careful step along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way


Standing behind Peter as he strained toward the vault, Adam felt a quiver of anticipation rising inside of him. After all these years, all this time, things were finally coming to a head. He'd dreamt of this moment for decades. Hearing the fools hadn't destroyed the virus after all had just cemented his planning. Had it not been available, he would have found another way, but this...oh, this had poetic justice. And using the child of Arthur and Angela after they had left him in there to rot? That was even more sweet.

It had all come together so easily, like destiny was guiding his steps. The boy in the cell next to him, of not only the right parentage to exact his vengeance, but the skills needed to usher in the new world order. Winning him over had been the first triumph, each lie he believed another, all leading to this moment, when Peter gave him exactly what he wanted.

And then what?

The mocking whisper was one he'd pushed aside more than once the past few days. The closer they drew, though, the louder it grew, and the firmer he was forced to make his resolve. He would not regret this action, would not let doubt to sway him. This was right. It was necessary. He'd come too far, worked too hard, planned too carefully to let anything sway him from his goal now.

The metal bulged; the door swung open. Adam moved toward the vault, casting Peter a sideways look.

He wouldn't let anything stop him now. Especially not a pair of warm brown eyes and a crooked smile and the cold realization he might never see them directed at him with any fondness again. He could live with the regret. He'd have to.
