Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Extracting the Truth

Dave wasted no time after making Helios faint. He teleported back to his home, dragging the unconscious villain with him. His heart was still pounding, anger surging through his veins like an uncontrollable storm. This man had tortured his sisters, twisted them into broken shadows of themselves, and Dave wasn't about to let him go easily.

Arriving in his basement, Dave secured Helios in a specially reinforced chair. He had purchased chains that could restrain superhumans from the system, ensuring that no matter what, Helios wouldn't be able to escape. He was locked tight, completely at Dave's mercy.

Helios remained unconscious, his head slumped to one side, breathing shallow. Dave stood over him, his eyes cold and calculating. He didn't want to waste time. He needed answers, and he needed them now. The rage simmering beneath the surface was barely kept in check.

"System," Dave commanded, "activate Mind Control."

A soft chime echoed in his head as the system acknowledged his request. He felt the familiar tingling sensation as his power activated, a force reaching out from within him to take hold of Helios' mind. It wasn't the most reliable method, but it was the only way Dave could get the information he needed. He knew it would be dangerous if prolonged too much, but right now, that was a risk he had to take.

Helios began to stir as Dave's power seeped into his consciousness, his body twitching. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open, and a dazed look filled his face. Dave could see the mental grip taking hold as Helios' resistance faded away, his mind completely under Dave's control.

"Tell me everything you did to my sisters," Dave said, his voice icy and filled with a quiet fury. "Every. Single. Detail."

Helios' eyes became glassy, his voice monotone as he began to speak, forced by the power of Dave's command. "The older one… Emily… she was strong-willed, but it didn't take long to break her. I used a combination of drugs and mental manipulation, bending her to my will until she became obedient."

Dave's stomach twisted as he heard the words. He could picture his once vibrant, strong-willed sister being slowly turned into a puppet. His heart ached, but he couldn't stop now. He had to know everything, no matter how painful it was to hear.

"And Sarah?" Dave asked, his voice strained. "What did you do to her?"

"Sarah was more… difficult," Helios admitted, his voice still hollow. "I didn't need to break her like Emily. Her body was too weak for experiments, but I used her as leverage to control Emily. Every time Emily resisted, I would hurt Sarah in front of her. Eventually, Emily gave in to protect her younger sister."

Dave clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white as Helios continued to confess. His breath came faster, and it took every ounce of self-control not to lash out and kill Helios on the spot. But he needed the full story before he could make his next move.

"What about the brainwashing? How did you make Emily fight me?" Dave asked, his voice barely above a whisper. He could still see the image of his sister, standing before him with dead eyes, attacking him without mercy. That had been the hardest blow of all.

Helios smirked slightly, even under the influence of mind control. "I used a combination of drugs and hypnosis, embedding deep triggers in her mind. Once activated, she would obey my every command without question. That's why she fought you. She's been programmed to see me as her master, her owner. To her, you're nothing."

Dave's heart sank further with every word, but he kept listening, forcing himself to stay calm. He needed to know if there was any way to reverse the damage, to bring his sisters back from the darkness Helios had forced them into.

"Can it be undone?" Dave demanded, his voice sharp. "Is there a way to reverse the brainwashing?"

Helios hesitated for a moment before answering. "It's… possible. But it would require advanced technology, far beyond what Earth currently possesses. The programming is too deeply embedded in her mind for simple methods to work."

Dave frowned, his mind racing. He had already suspected that the system might not be able to fix his sisters right away, but hearing it confirmed from Helios only deepened his frustration. He was strong—far stronger than he had ever been—but even now, there were limits to what he could do.

"So you made her into your slave," Dave said through gritted teeth. "All of this… just to control her. Just to toy with her."

Helios' smirk returned, despite his dazed state. "She's mine now. Both of them are. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, they'll always belong to me."

The last shred of control in Dave snapped at those words. He stepped forward, grabbing Helios by the collar and pulling him close, his face inches from Helios'. The desire to crush him then and there was overwhelming.

"You're wrong," Dave hissed. "They're not yours. They'll never be yours."

He released Helios, letting him slump back into the chair. There was no point in continuing this interrogation. Dave had heard enough.

"System, disengage Mind Control," Dave ordered. The power lifted, and Helios' body went limp, unconscious once again. Dave stared down at him, his mind swirling with anger and pain. He had the information he needed, but it didn't make the situation any easier.

For now, he had to lock Helios away and focus on figuring out the next step.

As Dave left the basement, he used the system to purchase the highest-grade restraints for Helios, ensuring there would be no escape. Helios was dangerous, but Dave was going to deal with him—slowly and carefully. First, he needed to figure out how to save his sisters.

The battle was far from over.


Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Broken Bonds

Dave stood motionless over the two beds, his gaze shifting between his sisters. Sarah lay peacefully next to Emily, still in the deep, unreachable sleep that had plagued her since Helios' cruel experiment. Dave clenched his fists, frustrated by the system's prior message that Earth's current technology wasn't advanced enough to wake her. He would need to develop it himself someday. But now, Emily needed him.

He called up the system, asking for a detailed analysis of Emily's condition. The results flashed before him: Emily's body had endured significant damage, but there was hope. The system recommended a medical bottle from the store—its healing properties would repair her body.

With no hesitation, Dave purchased the bottle, opening it with urgency. He poured the liquid carefully into Emily's mouth, watching as her bruises, cuts, and broken bones began to mend themselves. The visible transformation was swift, and after several long, agonizing moments, her eyes fluttered open.

"Dave?" Emily's voice was barely a whisper, weak and trembling.

Dave knelt beside her, his hand gently gripping hers. "Emily, I'm here. You're safe now."

The moment her gaze fully focused on Dave, tears streamed down her cheeks. A heavy sob broke through her fragile demeanor as she squeezed his hand desperately. "Dave... I thought... I thought I'd never see you again!"

Her frail body trembled uncontrollably as she buried her face into Dave's chest, clinging to him like she feared he might disappear. "It was... it was so terrible! Everything... it hurts so much," she stammered between sobs. Her cries were heart-wrenching, every sound laden with pain.

Dave tightened his hold around her, his anger burning deeper at the thought of what Helios had done. "You're safe now, Emily. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you again."

But Emily continued to cry uncontrollably, her body shaking with each sob as she struggled to recount what had happened. "It was Helios... he came for us. We didn't know what was happening. We were just... living our normal lives, and then... then everything went dark," she whispered, her voice trembling. "They grabbed us, Dave... They didn't even care that we fought back... I tried to protect Sarah, but they were too strong. They dragged us both to some horrible place... it was like a prison."

Emily's breathing quickened as she continued, her words coming out in choked gasps. "They experimented on us, Dave... especially Sarah. They did things to her... things that I can't even describe. They put her under, and she never woke up. I thought I'd lose her right there. Every day, I was terrified that they'd do the same to me."

Dave's grip tightened as he listened, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness. He had failed to protect them, and that realization struck him like a dagger to the chest. "I'm so sorry, Emily. I should've been there sooner. I should've stopped them," he muttered through clenched teeth.

Emily looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "It's not your fault, Dave. You couldn't have known... but he... Helios... he enjoyed it, Dave. He enjoyed watching us suffer." Her sobs turned more violent, and she shuddered at the memory. "He treated us like... like animals."

Her trembling hand pointed towards Sarah, who still lay unmoving. "They took her away for long periods of time, and when she came back... she never spoke again. She wouldn't wake up. I begged them to stop, but they didn't care... they didn't care about any of us."

Tears flowed uncontrollably as she collapsed back into Dave's arms, her voice breaking. "Why did this happen to us? Why?"

Dave struggled to find words, but there were none that could soothe her pain. He could only hold her tighter, his mind racing with fury toward Helios. Looking over at Sarah, his heart ached at the thought that she was still trapped in that deep sleep, unreachable by anything Earth had to offer. He asked the system once again if there was any way to wake her, but the answer remained unchanged.

"There's no way to help her right now," Dave said, his voice heavy with frustration. "The technology to wake Sarah doesn't exist yet... not on this planet. But I promise you, I'll find a way to bring her back, no matter what it takes."

Emily sobbed harder. "Please, Dave... just don't let us suffer anymore."

"You won't. I swear I'll fix everything," Dave replied, his voice filled with determination. He gently laid Emily back down, watching as her exhaustion took over and she drifted off to sleep again.

With a heavy heart, Dave teleported both of them back to his home, placing Emily carefully in her bed and laying Sarah beside her, still caught in her deep slumber. As he looked at them both, a surge of anger and resolve filled him. Helios would pay for everything he had done.

As soon as Emily was settled, Dave teleported back to where he had left off, ready to confront Helios and bring justice for his sisters.
