Chapter 1 - Captured

"Hey guys! Come look at this!" Emma yelled nearing Brennan and Shalimar.

Emma walked down the hall towards Brennan and Shalimar who were a bit busy with each other. They heard Emma's voice and pulled away from each other with Brennan saying "sorry" then they both smiled.

"Uh…Sorry for interrupting," Emma said in a shocked and sad tone, "It's okay. You guys umm…return to what you were doing. I'll…I'll show you guys the stuff later or just ask Adam about it."

Emma didn't take another look at them and walked away.

"Em…Emma!" Brennan called, "I wonder what that was all about. I never seen her like that before."

"I'm sure she'll be fine Brennan," Shalimar said with a small smile, "Come on, let's go see what she wanted."

Brennan smiled back and they walked to the dojo where Jesse and Adam were talking.

"Hey, where's Emma?" Brennan asked them.

"I don't know. She said she was going to go get you two," Jesse replied, "So I thought she was with you guys."

"Well, apparently she isn't," Shalimar said, "Where do you think she could be?"

"I don't know. Her com-link is offline," Adam answered, "So Jesse why don't you go check Emma's room and Brennan and Shalimar check around Sanctuary. Come back here later."

"All right Adam," they all said together.

Jesse walked towards Emma's room and knocked on the door.

"Emma? Are you there?" he called from outside Emma's room.

He heard no response and called to Emma again.

"Emma? Come on Emma. I know you're in there," Jesse said.

"What do you want Jesse?" Emma said from inside her room.

Jesse could hear the sadness in her voice.

"Em...what's wrong?" Jesse asked.

"Nothing. Please go away," Emma replied.

"Please Em...can I come in? It'll just be for a few minutes. Then I'll leave," Jesse said softly, "I promise."

"Fine...Come in," Emma said giving in.

Jesse opened the door to Emma's room, walked inside and closed the door behind him. He looked around and saw Emma sitting on her bed. He moved towards her and sat down beside her.

"What's wrong Em?" he asked gently.

"Nothing…I'm…I'm fine," Emma muttered.

"Come on Emma. No fooling me. I know there's something wrong," Jesse said kindly, "You can tell me."

"I don't even know what's wrong. I don't even know what I'm feeling," Emma said unknowingly, "I…I just don't know."

"It's okay Emma," Jesse said soothingly.

He put his arms around her and hugged her. 'God…now what am I feeling? Do I have feelings for Emma? Nah…it can't be,' he thought to himself, 'I hope she's not using her telempathy on me.'

"What's going on Emma? Do you want to talk about it?" Jesse asked.

"No…But thanks for being here though," Emma sniffed.

"No prob…that's what I'm here for," Jesse smiled, "Come on, Adam and the others are waiting for us."

"Okay, let's go," Emma said standing up.

Jesse and Emma walked towards the dojo where the others were.

"Great, so now that we've found Emma we can go on with what I have wanted to show all of you," Adam stated.

He pressed a button on a computer near by and a blue screen with the image of Proxy Blue popped up.

"Hey guys. Got some new info about a new mutant taking over Genomex. Gabriel Ashlocke is his name but what is his game? He is the head of a group called The Strand. What do they want? We're not sure yet. But once we get that information I will deliver it straight to all of you," the blue image said with enthusiasm, "Could this new group be the next Mutant X? We'll just have to see."

"Off," Adam said to the computer.

The computer shut down and Adam turned towards the members of Mutant X.

"The Strand will never be the next Mutant X," Shalimar chided, "They'll never be. I'll kick all of their asses before that happens."

"Calm down Shalimar. I know how you're feeling right now. We need to think of a good approach if we want to defeat Gabriel," Adam said.

"Like what? What are we supposed to do? This guy seems almost invincible," Brennan said.

"Well, you all have new gifts. If you use them the right way there might be a way to defeat Gabriel," Adam stated, "You all just need to train and learn how to use your new gifts properly. And I want you all to do that."

"Sure…so let's get to it then huh," Jesse said.

"Yes. I'll program a few holograms for you to fight," Adam said typing on the computer.

~*A few hours later*~

"You're all doing great," Adam stated, "I want all of you to go out and relax a bit tonight. Have fun. We haven't been doing a lot of that lately. So go out."

Adam smiled.

"Thanks Adam," they all said appreciatively.

~*Later that night*~

"That was fun," Emma smiled as she and the others walked out of a nightclub.

"Yea, it was great having the night off," Jesse agreed.

Emma yawned.

"Yea, but now I'm tired," Emma said rubbing her eyes a bit, "All that training and then all that dancing."

"Man…we gotta get you back to Sanctuary. You look like you're gonna fall asleep right here right now," Brennan laughed.

"Well, I need sleep," Emma said.

"You'll get an eternity of sleep soon enough," a voice said loudly.

"Who's there?" Shalimar asked fiercely.

"Why us of course," the voice said as two women walked out of the darkness towards them.

"Ahh…Gabriels' girls," Brennan said, "What do you want?"

"Well, Gabriel does want to see all of you dead," the black woman, Morgan said.

"So we'll do our best to for fill his wants," the white woman, Kelly said.

Kelly started a fire and surrounded the mutants.

"Umm…Hi…I'm Shalimar. I'm a feral and I'm really afraid of fire," Shalimar said in a quivering voice.

"Shit, what are we going do?" Brennan said.

"Can you phase out and bring us along with you Jesse?" Emma asked, "You have the ability to do that now."

"Yea…I think I can do it," Jesse said confidently.

"Bring Shalimar and Brennan out first," Emma said, "I'll stay in here and wait for you."

"Are you sure Em?" Shalimar asked.

"Yea…don't worry I'll be fine," Emma said reassuringly.

"All right. You two ready?" Jesse asked and then looked at Emma, "I'll be back fast I promise."

"Ok. Go…hurry," Emma said looking at the fire around her.

Jesse grabbed both Brennan and Shalimar's hands into his and phased out. They walked through the fire and Shalimar let out a sigh of relief.

"You're not going to set fires anymore once I get through with you!" Shalimar cried.

"You guys do your thing I'm going back for Emma," Jesse told them.

Brennan nodded and got ready to fight as Jesse phased through the fire again.

"Come on," he said taking Emma's hand into his.

Jesse phased out and brought Emma through the fire with him.

"Thanks Jesse," Emma said and Jesse gave her a smile.

Emma looked at Morgan and Kelly who were fighting Brennan and Shalimar. Kelly had a ball of fire floating in her left hand and was going to throw it at Brennan. 'Oh no,' Emma thought to herself. Before Kelly could do anything Emma jumped in front of her and shot a star-shaped energy blast from Emma's forehead to Kelly's stomach. Kelly cried in pain and threw the fireball at Emma's right leg. Emma stumbled and fell to the ground in pain holding her leg.

"Emma!" Brennan cried seeing his friend fall to the ground.

For the first time since he met Emma Brennan hasn't felt anything for her but now seeing her in pain made him reconsider his feelings.

Morgan saw Kelly in pain and used her telekinetic powers to throw Brennan, Shalimar and Jesse into a wall. Brennan hit his head on the wall and fell into unconsciousness. Shalimar and Jesse recovered and she flipped into the air towards Morgan. Morgan used her telekinesis again and Shalimar stayed in the air unable to move. Jesse ran towards Emma.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yea…yea…I'm okay," Emma replied still holding her leg, "Go…go help Shalimar."

Jesse nodded and ran towards Morgan. He threw her a few punches but she blocked them. Kelly looked up and threw a fireball at Jesse. He phased out and let the fireball go through him. Morgan threw Jesse towards the wall where Brennan lay with her telekinesis.

"I'm sorry…But I think it's time for us to go," Morgan said to them.

"And we'll take these two with us," Kelly said grabbing Emma and putting her in a headlock.

Jesse tried to get up and fight but Morgan held him down with her powers.

"Till we meet again," Morgan grinned.

She and Kelly walked away with Shalimar floating in the air in front of them. Morgan knocked Shalimar out and telekinetically moved her towards their car. Kelly put Emma into the backseat of the car and then Shalimar.

"See you later boys," Kelly yelled to them as they drove off.

Brennan slowly opened his eyes and watched as they drove off with Shalimar and Emma.

"Shit!" he cried slamming his fist onto the ground, "We have to get them back!"

"Not now. We have to go see Adam first. He needs to know," Jesse said as Brennan slowly stood up.

Brennan looked at Jesse and nodded. The two women that he loved the most were taken hostage and he was going to do anything and everything he can to get them back.
