They are mine only mine - all of them!!!!
Well maybe not!

SANCTUARY
Brennan stretched and tried to concentrate on his book - but to no avail, relaxing was precious commodity these days, a commodity none of the Mutant X members had in their stock.
If anyone would have asked Brennan 4 weeks ago who was the craziest man he'd ever known he'd say Mason Eckhart - hands down, no hesitations. But that was before he had the dubious pleasure of meeting Gabriel Ashlock - the man who gave a whole new meaning to the word psychopath.
a month Brennan thought to himself I can't believe it's already been a month he closed his eyes for a moment and listened to the sounds of Sanctuary, Shalimar training, Emma talking to someone who did not answer, light footsteps in the corridor.
After a few unfortunate encounters with Gabriel and the Strand Adam declared complete "Lock Down" fearing for the team's safety. It was a good idea in theory - Brennan had to admit that much - but there was one important factor Adam failed to take into account - Shalimar.
The young feral stopped being amused by their self-imposed captivity in less than 48 hours and by now - 4 weeks later - she was practically climbing up the walls. She was displaying all symptoms of a large wild cat locked in a cage - pacing back and forth, growling at anyone and everyone and training all hours of the day and night. There was a back noise to Sanctuary these days --the constant sound of Shalimar's heavy breathing, punching and kicking, coming from the dojo.
Jesse and Emma were a whole different story. Jesse shut down completely, staying mostly in his room, hardly talking to anyone. Brennan found him a number of times at the computer consul in the middle of the night, running research and looking through files with no idea what he was actually looking for. Emma on the other hand picked the role of the "national moral booster" - constantly trying to pick everyone's spirits and assure them it would all be ok. It probably would have been more convincing if it wasn't for the fear that showed so clearly in her eyes, if the smiles she was throwing around for everyone's benefit would actually reach her eyes and sem genuine.
They were falling apart and they all knew it - even Adam would have noticed it if he were around. But he wasn't. Adam was locked away in his lab for the past 4 weeks now, not even bothering to come out for meals. From the few moments he spent with him when it was his turn to bring him his meal Brennan knew Adam was in full "Self hate" mode. Blaming himself for everything from Gabriel's mere existence to the current state of the weather. They all tried at some point or another to talk to him - to convince hi none of this was his fault. However, somewhere around the second week they gave up, knowing that nothing they could say or do will ease his conscious.
Brennan sighed and went back to his book, actually managing to read and comprehend a few lines before suddenly he heard an alarm coming off one of the computers. He quickly got to his feet and went downstairs, noticing that Adam and Jesse already beat him there.
"What is it Adam?" Brennan asked just as Emma joined them from her room.
"The Strand is on the move" Adam replied "they're about to move in on one of our safe houses"
"So lock down is over" Shalimar asked from behind Brennan's shoulder and he had to suppress a small smile at the eagerness in her voice
"Get over there and stop them before they make any new recruits" Adam nodded and watched as the four of them turned to leave
"Shalimar" He grabbed her arm before she could get far "This isn't the time to settle personal scores. If Gabriel is there I need you to get the new mutants and get out - you can't fight him Ok? He's still too powerful!"
"I know Adam" She assured him "Don't worry, we'll be careful"
