Chapter 11

The drive had been excruciatingly long, Brennan was nervous as hell and he could tell Shalimar and Adam were too. Jesse and Lexa were standing around the hood of a car with the rest of Daniels team looking at a printout of the buildings blue prints. They had been given a quick briefing on their part in the mission but weren't told much. Jesse and Lexa however had been given much more information than the rest of them had.

"Okay" Jesse said as he and Lexa approached the rest of Mutant X. "Stay close to us and you should be fine, let's go"

All five members of Mutant X headed toward the building with Jesse and Lexa in front. They stopped next to the wall of the building and Jesse phased them through. Once inside Lexa quickly checked her watch "Four minutes until the rest of the team break in at the other side of the building and most likely set of every alarm in here"

Jesse and Lexa drew weapons and walked quietly but quickly down the corridor, they were both still wearing head sets which they were using to communicate with their team mates in the field van. Brennan, Adam and Shalimar hadn't been allowed to wear them as sensitive information was being passed over them.

They both stopped dead and gestured for the others to stop moving. Lexa pushed her weapon to her side and went invisible. Jesse also released his hold on his weapon just as four guards rounded the corner. Brennan was about to electrocute them when he realised they were all wearing mutant proof suits. Jesse punched the first guard knocking him back before kicking a second guard. The third and fourth guard looked like they were about to make a move when one of them jolted as if they had been hit by something and fell to the ground unconscious.

Lexa reappeared standing over the guard and went to work on the fourth. They both knocked all four of the guards out and stood for a moment.

"Got it" Jesse said into his head set and he and Lexa motioned for the others to help them move the guards. They dragged them into a nearby room which turned out to be a storage closet. "That should keep them out of sight long enough"

"We're entering the building now" Jesse heard Daniels say over his head set.

"We're almost at the location" Lexa said just as the alarms went off. They turned around the corner to find five guards gathered outside the door they needed to get into. They both aimed their weapons at them knowing there was no longer any need to be quiet. Within seconds all five of the guards were down and Jesse reached for the panel on the side of the door. He cut and connected the appropriate wires and was able to override the door lock. The door opened and Jesse and Lexa walked through with their weapons raised. They found themselves in a huge laboratory and quickly took cover behind a row of desks as they came under fire. Brennan, Adam and Shalimar were right next to them.

Adam watched as Jesse turned to Lexa and communicated with her using hand signals. She then disappeared and Jesse fired several shots over the desk. He seemed to make a mental scan of the room before taking cover again.

"Brennan" he said "There are two guys on the left who aren't in mutant proof suits"

Brennan obviously understood what Jesse was getting at and after a brief look in the direction Jesse had pointed he fired two Tesla coils. There was a bright flash of light and sounds of several gunshots. The firing on their position halted and focused elsewhere in the room. Jesse once again fired several shots over the desk before quickly and efficiently reloading his gun. Jesse seemed to make another quick scan of the room before turning to Shalimar.

"There's only one guard left on the walk way above us and I can't hit him from this angle, Lexa obviously can't either or she would have done it by now"

Again there was no need to elaborate further as Shalimar jumped out from behind the desk and up onto the walkway. There was another bright flash of light as she did so which Adam knew was Lexa covering Shalimar. There were more sounds of gun fire and Jesse once again started to exchange fire with the guards in the room. A minute later Jesse stood up and moved out from behind the desk slowly. He continued to hold his weapon as he looked around the room. Adam and Brennan watched him move from behind the desk that Jesse had told them to stay behind. Lexa reappeared next to him with her weapon also raised as they both checked out the room.

Once Lexa was satisfied that there were no more guards left in the room she nodded to Jesse and they both lowered their weapons.

"Alright guys, come out"

Adam and Brennan moved out from behind the desk and Shalimar jumped down from the catwalk.

"Two bullets left" Lexa said with a smile at Jesse as she took an ammo clip off one of the dead guards.

Jesse moved over to one of the computers "Alright let's get this information and find the creator"

"Well done" came a voice from the doorway a few minutes later "You found me"

"Oh, there you are" Lexa said as she looked up from the computer she and Jesse were working at to see the creator step into the room. He quickly looked around the room before smirking at them.

"Looks like you took out my entire personal guard and from you're outfits I'd say GIO recruited you to help them"

Jesse was still working on the computer trying to hack into the database and download it and Lexa knew it would take him at least a few more minutes. She some how doubted the creator would give him that long.

"Adam" She said quietly enough that the creator wouldn't hear her "Keep him distracted whilst Jesse finishes"

"What?" Adam said equally as quiet.

"You're the only one who can keep him talking"

Shalimar watched as Adam took a step forward, she felt a sudden urge to pull him back but she had heard what Lexa said and she knew that she was right. Adam was the only person who could keep the creator talking long enough for Jesse to finish with the computer.

"Adam" the creator said "You're becoming something of a nuisance to me"

"You only have yourself to blame"

"Quite right" The Creator said with a smirk "It was a mistake to allow you to live your own life until I was ready to call you, it has made you different to the way I needed you to become"

"So what are you going to do about it now? Somehow I doubt that you have the time to create another clone and mould him in your image"

"I have all the time that I need, my work will be completed. Why do you fight me Adam? Together we can achieve what we have both worked our entire life for"

"Because you and the Dominion are corrupt and I will have no part of it"

"Oh but you are a part of it, you're very existence is a part of it"

"True but as you said, I've become my own person, I make my own choices and I choose Mutant X. I will never help you"

"Then you are no longer of any use to me"

A bright light shot past Adam hitting the creator in the chest. Shalimar turned to see Lexa lower her hand with Jesse standing by her side.

"Brennan hurry up and fry these computers, we can't risk any of this surviving"

Brennan did as he was asked and Jesse and Lexa moved over to the creator, Jesse quickly checked for a pulse.

"Okay let's get him out of here" Jesse said as he pulled some handcuffs out of his back pocket. Shalimar moved over to where Adam was still standing.

"You okay?" she asked putting a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah actually I feel better than I have in a while"

"Alright guys we gotta go, Daniels is going to detonate the C4 in ten minutes" Lexa said.
