The four members of Mutant X ran as fast as they could from rubble of Dominion HQ, none of them saying a word. Once they were a safe distance away the group slowed to a walk and turned to look at the still visible Dominion building, burning in the distance.

Jesse finally broke the silence. 'What the hell are we going to do now?' He asked

'We have to find Adam. Jesse is the only one here not living under a death sentence.' Lexa replied, worry evident in her voice.

'How are we supposed to do that? The Helix is gone, Sanctuary is gone, the Dominion….' Shalimar's eyes flickered around the group.

'No, they haven't won anything yet. Look, we have to get moving, come on.' Brennan said. With that he took hold of Shalimar's arm and motioned her forward and Lexa and Jesse followed in suit.

They ventured through the forest surrounding the Dominion HQ, the cold air stinging their bare skin and the stray branches scraping their flesh as they ran. Jesse winced in pain with each step he took; he was really feeling the effects of his torture session at courtesy of the Dominion. He slowed to a halt when the pain became too much and dropped to the floor.

Lexa, who had been just in front of Jesse, noticed the disappearance of his footsteps behind her and turned to check on him. Seeing him on the floor she rushed over to him.

'Guys, wait up!', she called after Shalimar and Brennan. She got down on the ground next to Jesse.

'Hey, you ok?' she asked. He didn't respond. She placed her hand on his check, gentle pulling his face to face her.

'Jess?' Lexa said pleading with him.

'I'm ok, I just need a breather.' He replied, clearly exhausted.

Shalimar and Brennan had retraced their steps to where Jesse and Lexa were kneeling on the floor. Shalimar's eyes suddenly glowed yellow as she stared into the forest in the direction from which they had come. Her feral senses had picked up the Dominion agents who had obviously been sent after them.

'Guy's, we've got company. We need to move now.' Shalimar said urgently.

Soon enough, the rest of the group heard muffled voices and the trampling of footsteps in the distance. Shalimar looked at Jesse, willing him to get up.

'Go without me, it's the only way for you guys to escape. I'll just slow you down.'

At this Lexa grabbed Jesse's hand and looked straight into his eyes.

'No way! I am not leaving without you.' She said, angry at the suggestion. 'I'm not going to lose you.'

Despite their situation, Jesse couldn't help but smile at Lexa's unusually obvious display of feeling.

'Lexa's right man, we're not going anywhere without you.' Brennan said.

The display of faith from his teammates filled Jesse with a sense of newfound strength and he got to his feet.

'Well, lets get going then,' Jesse said determinedly.

With Lexa supporting him on one side and Brennan on the other, Jesse and the rest of Mutant X began to move again.

But, despite their forward movement, the sound of the Dominion agents was growing ever closer. They were closing on them.

Shalimar, who had been leading the group through the dark with her feral abilities, stopped running, prompting the others to stop too.

'There's no way we're going to be able to out run these guys. What are we going to do?' She looked around desperately, as though willing a solution to appear out of the darkness.

Brennan too knew there was no way they could outrun the Dominion agents when they were in their current state.

'We're going to have to fight.' However, he very much doubted they'd be much good in a fight either. They were all exhausted and injured. He began to accept the inevitable; there was no getting out of this.

The voices of the agents were growing louder with every passing second. Brennan took a fighting stance, as did Shalimar. Lexa, however, who had been silent for the past few minutes, stepped forward.

'There might be another option.' She said hesitantly.

'Yeah? Well, whatever it is lets hear it.' Brennan said, a tessler coil forming in his hand, ready for the attack.

'I might have a way for us to get away from here, far enough away to buy us some time to recuperate. You see, there's something about my powers that I haven't told you.'

'What? What are you talking about?' Jesse said confused. He looked around to see Brennan and Shalimar looking equally confused.

Before Lexa could reply, there was a loud bang and at least a dozen bullets ripped through the air. Brennan dived at Shalimar, knocking them to the ground out of the path of the bullets. Jesse took Lexa in his arms and massed out, sending bullets ricocheting off them.

'Well Lex, if you've got a way to get us out of here I'd say now is the time to do it.' Said Brennan helping Shal up off the ground.

'I'm not even sure if it'll work. I mean I've only done it once or twice…' Lexa stammered.

Again, a shower of bullets rushed through the trees, this time only millimetres from the team.

'Lexa! Whatever it is, you have to try. I have faith in you.' Jesse pleaded with her desperately.

'Ok.' Lexa replied. 'Everybody hold on tight.'

Looking round hesitantly at each other then to Lexa, the other three members of Mutant X grabbed onto Lexa.

'Here goes….' Lexa shut her eyes, with a look of pure concentration on her face.

For a couple of seconds nothing happened. Shal looked at Brennan, who looked as disheartened as she felt. What was Lexa doing, she asked herself.

Lexa sensed the doubt from her teammates beside her. 'Come on, please work.' She said frantically to herself.

There was another deafening bang and another dozen bullets hurtled towards them. Shalimar braced herself, preparing for the searing pain of the bullets ripping into her. But, the pain never came. The world around them shifted and became a blur. Shal squeezed her eyes shut as she felt her stomach turn out upside down. She tightened her grip on Lexa and on Brannan, who also felt his stomach somersault. Jesse opened his eyes, only to shut them again quickly. They were surrounding by a blinding light all around. 'Was Lexa doing this?' He asked himself.

Then, merely seconds after they had apparently left the forest and the Dominion team, Mutant X felt their feet hit the ground with a sharp jolt. Lexa was the first to open her eyes, followed slowly by the other members of Mutant X.

Shalimar was suddenly aware of how cold it had become. She shivered and looked around, awestruck at what she saw; the were on the side of a road, standing in front of a signpost which read 'Vancouver 36 miles.'

Shal looked at Brennan and then to Jesse. They had obviously seen the sign too, as they looked as shocked and confused as she did. Then she looked at Lexa, who had turned extremely pale and swayed backwards on the spot slightly.

'Oh my God!' Said Shalimar, not fully able to take in their surroundings.

'What the hell? We're in Canada!' Brennan stuttered. 'How the hell did we get to Canada?' They looked at Lexa with questioning eyes. But before Lexa could answer her eyes drifted shut and she fell backwards.

'Lexa!' Jesse cried. He rushed forwards and caught Lexa in his arms.

Shal dropped to the floor next to where Jesse sat, cradling Lexa in his arms. Her head hurt, confusion was overwhelming her.

'Ok, would someone like to tell me what's going on? Is Lex ok?' Brennan said. Shalimar looked at him blankly, equally as bewildered as he was.

'Well, I can't be sure,' Jesse said looking at Lexa, unconscious in his arms, then up to Shalimar and Brennan. 'But, I…I think we just travelled at the speed of light.'
