4.

"Are you sure this is the place," Valenti asked Isabel as he was aware of their surroundings despite the fact that darkness was starting to befall them.

"I know Tess is in there."

"Now we don't know that for sure Ms. Evans."

"You got me here Sheriff. I can take care of the rest."

Isabel started to make her way through the barbed wire, nicking herself as she crawled through it. She started making her way to the far left hanger, Hanger 20. Valenti looked around unsure of what to do but knowing he wouldn't let the young woman go in alone. He made his way through the wire as well and pulled out his gun.

"Damn it, where is she," said Max. "We've searched every inch of this place."

"Well upside two more hangers to go."

"Tess may not have that kind of time."

"Right. Tell you what, why don't you go check out hanger 0 and I'll check out Hanger 20, we can cover more ground that way."

Max just nodded.

"Damn it Tess where are you?" Isabel said as she went from door to door in the large hanger that once used to hold aircrafts.

She found her way to a stairwell and decided to take it down not even carrying if Valenti was following her or not.

"Tess," she called out. "Tess!"

"Isabel!"

Isabel turned around and started going in a different direction than from what she had been going.

"Tess where are you?"

Tess squirmed on the table she was on trying to make a noise. Isabel could hear wheels moving.

"Tess," she called out again.

"In here," Tess said again trying to move the table she was on. The wheels screeched.

Isabel tried to open the door but it was locked so she reached out her hand. She had never really used her powers except for recreational purposes but now wasn't the time to improvise and waste time. She focused the energy from within her and made a hole where the handle was. Then moving back a couple inches she forced foot into the door.

"Oh my god Tess," she said as she went over to the small blonde girl who was strapped on a gurney. Quickly and nervously Isabel unhooked the straps. She then reached out for the girl and wrapped one of Tess' arms around her shoulder. "Okay come on, I'm gonna get you out of here."

Isabel made her way back through the door she had come. A shadow was looming in the direction she had just been through so Isabel turned around and started moving to her left. There was another corridor with a bunch more doorways. Not knowing which one to take Isabel chose one thankful that it was a stairwell.

It was a struggle to get both herself and Tess up the stairs. She felt a couple of times careful enough that when she landed her left hand to prevent the impact from touching her abdomen that much. She had known the risk by coming here but she couldn't leave Tess alone to die. She had not seen Max or Michael or even Valenti in a while. She was Tess' only hope.

They finally made their way up. This was not a part of the hanger she was familiar with. It was an open space with what seemed like a torn up runway. Too weak, Isabel placed Tess down and leaned her against a wall. In the distance she heard clapping. Agent Pierce stepped out from the shadows.

"I'm impressed," he said. "I knew I needed one of you I just wasn't sure which one."

"What do you want with us," said Isabel.

"Not her, you Vilandra."

"What did you call me?"

"You don't remember do you? Just as well I wouldn't want to remember my betrayals either but you will."

Agent Peirce walked closer to Isabel and ran a hand through her hair. Isabel stepped back.

"He would kill me for making a move on you but you're just as beautiful in this life as you were in the other."

"You're not human," said Isabel.

"No I am. Let's just say I made a deal and I'll do whatever it takes to collect. You above anyone should know that. You know what it's like to sell out your brother, your fiancé and do whatever means necessary."

"No," said Isabel as she moved back keeping herself between Pierce and Tess. Pierce moved closer to Isabel and this time caressed his tongue on her lips. He then reached for his side arm and placed it directly at Isabel's head.

"I don't want to kill you. He say's you're an ally not our enemy but I just don't see it."

"Drop it Pierce," said Valenti pointing his gun at the FBI Special Agent.

Pierce whipped some sweat from his forehead. "Sheriff Valenti, should've figured you'd be protecting them. You have no idea what they are do you?"

"It doesn't matter."

Pierce shrugged. "If that's the case," he said firing at Valenti. The bullets missed though as they were ricocheted from Michael's outstretched hand.

"Get away from her!"Michael said from behind them.

Pierce's eyes changed to a darkness that Isabel had not seen. "He said you'd be alone!"

Pierce started firing at Michael. Michael used his powers and the bullets went off elsewhere. Pierce then reached for a second weapon that was tucked in his boot only it wasn't an ordinary gun. Pierce flipped the switch and fired- a bolt of electricity knocking Michael twenty feet into the air. Michael landed with a loud crash in the dust.

Pierce walked closer to Michael. "He has no use for you."

"Isabel!" Max called out having found the group.

"No!" Isabel called out to Pierce.

Pierce turned in time to fire at Isabel but she had her hand outstretched using her own energy to combat the blast of energy from Pierce's weapon. The force from the weapon seemed to be getting stronger but Isabel held her ground. She forced her energy to the blue energy and soon that began to fold in on itself molding its way to Pierce. Pierce tried to fire off a couple shots from his regular 9MM but that only bounced off the pending shield hitting him in the lung. Isabel let go of her energy and the blue energy exploded in a string of miniature orbs sending Pierce flying.

Pierce lay flat on the ground, dead from both the rounds he fired and a gaping hole in his chest made from the energy blast. Isabel stood motionless. Michael and Valenti started getting up and Max went over to Tess to check if she was okay.

"I don't- I don't know what happened," said Isabel.

"Our powers must be advancing," said Michael.

Isabel just nodded. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine thanks to you," replied Michael.

Behind them Max was over at Pierce's lifeless body. Valenti came over and helped. Max hesitated afraid of what the Sheriff might do.

"It's okay, I'll take care of this," said Valenti. "You go and make sure Tess is okay."

"Why are you helping us," asked Max.

"Because I'm deciding to trust you," said Valenti.

Max just nodded with a small smile and went to check on Tess.

Michael placed a hand on Isabel's arm. "We should get you to Nasedo."

"I told you I'm fine."

"You're not fine Iz, you're in shock and maybe with Nasedo checking on you he can check on the baby."

Isabel rolled her eyes. "So that's what you're worried about."

"So what I'm just some incubator for your offspring is that it?"

"Of course not!"

"Can't I just be the Isabel you knew before this all happened?"

"You still are. What's gotten into you? I saw what you did to Pierce but there's more to it than that, isn't there? If you want to talk I'm here, you know that."

Isabel rolled her eyes not wanting to get into it. "Let's just go."
