Chapter 21-

Here is the next chapter. One more closer to the end.

"He is getting very impatient," the tall, elderly man says to a scramble screen. "She is getting impatient. There is only so long that we can keep someone of her powers and agility down, sir."

"Then the time has come to talk to them," whoever is on the other side of the conversation says with a deep sigh. "How is your investigation going on your side."

"I think I found the solution to solving our problems. Unfortunately we won't know till we try it in person. Kind of like a try and die situation," the doctor says.

"Good enough then. I'll get back to you when the time is right," the screen goes dead.

"Hello," Elizabeth says uncertainly as she comes in with her eyes slightly narrow towards her protector and mentor. "What is going on?"

"Nothing, Elizabeth. Just checking on some things on the computer," the doctor says turning off the computer and turning to the special mutant. "How are you feeling today, sweetie?"

"Great," she answers shortly before taking a seat in front of him. "I feel so alive. There just seems to be something different though. Unfortunately my memory is still scramble. I see faces and hear things that don't really make sense to me."

"It happens with memory loss, Elizabeth," the man says in a fatherly way.

"I know, but its just, it is like I am missing something very important. People important in my life," Elizabeth says putting her head in her hands. "Henry doesn't feel familiar to me. Well a little, but from a long time ago. Further than my memory should naturally go. I just don't know how to explain it. How to explain him in my life."

"I think it is time for you to rest," the doctor says walking towards her with a worried look in his wrinkling features.

"Do I have to doc?" she asks like a little kid.

"You know my feelings of the subject. It is easier for you to sort out your mind while asleep then while you are up. You can get hurt if you are awake and your mind gets invaded with all these confusing thoughts."

"I know, but I am not tired," Elizabeth pouts up to him.

"I know, sweetie. I am just doing this for your best interest. You trust me right?"

"Yes," she answers in resignation.

"Good. Now come on and get into bed."

She nods to him and gets comfortable in bed.

"Goodnight doc," she says quietly.

"Goodnight, Elizabeth."

…..

"So how are things going here," Lexa asks Alex as she enters into Elizabeth's office.

"It is hard managing two different companies, to be honest. I am just happy that we have always had a great communication about what we are doing just incase something like these came up," Alex answers barely looking up at the dark beauty.

"You have predicted an incident like this happening," she asks as she takes a seat in front of the desk and pushes her long, dark hair back.

"Not precisely what has happened, but since we traveled a lot, and got into dangerous situations there was always that nagging thought that maybe, just maybe, we wont be able to make it back," he says looking into her beautiful eyes. "I was just hopping that if that did happened it would be her taking over for me not the other way around."

"But she was the one that did most of the dangerous missions," Lexa says looking at him intently.

"Yes," he says turning to look out the window. "It was a no brainier to put her to do that. It is in her nature to do heavier loads. I mean I am not lacking in fighting skills," he turns to look at her. "But she has such a way to convince you to let her do things you know she shouldn't be doing."

Lexa smiles at him before placing a hand over his.

"We will find her and save her. You will have her back in your life."

"I know," he says squeezing her hand lightly. "You guys will not let me down. Not intentionally anyway."

"Jesse will try his hardest," Lexa says.

"He loves her doesn't he?"

"I could almost bet all my money on it."

"Are you okay with it?"

Lexa looks deeply into his eyes before answering with a smile in her beautiful face.

"I think I'll live with it. Come on. I need a ride back home."

Alex nods before standing up and following her out of the office.

…..

"Damn it," Jesse and Matt says together as another of Henry's 'associates' disappear from their clutches.

"What the hell is going on," Matt asks as they are left alone once again.

"Fuck," Jesse says hitting a brick wall with all his might. "We have been at it for a long time. When are we going to have a break at this?"

"Come on," Matt says placing a hand on Jesse's shoulder. "We should head back to your place and check out that injury."

Matt, with the passing of time, has realized that what Jesse felt for his girlfriend was stronger than his own feeling for his favorite feral. Yes, he would do anything for Elizabeth and her cousin Alex, but his feelings comes from a long time of companionship, friendship, and mutual attractiveness, at least when it came to Elizabeth.

He loves her, but he wasn't in love with her. Not like Jesse seems to love her.

"I…" Jesse begins pacing around for a second before nodding in agreement.

Once his car Matt tries to have a small conversation with the older man.

"Jesse, bro," Matt says trying to get some reason into the molecular mutant. "You need to slow down a little. Alex has his best men working out there. We will find her."

"I just…"

"I know," Matt says looking at him for a brief second before putting his eyes on the road once more. "It just won't do her any good to know that we were killing ourselves over her. She cares for us too much to know that we are hurting ourselves on purpose."

"She might care for you and Alex but not for me. Not the same way."

"Yeah, you are right, not the same way," he says as they pull into the hidden driveway of the Sanctuary and they get out of his sports car. "But she will still be very worried for your tiredness."

As they reach the entrance to the home, the new sanctuary, they bump into Lexa and Alex.

"You guys," Brennan's voice is heard loud and clear. "Get over here fast."

All four follow the voice of the leader of Mutant X, who is standing near a computer with his stunning blond girlfriend, Shalimar.

"Good," a voice from the scramble screen says. "I see that I have come just in time."

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. I am getting back into it so I should finish it soon, hopefully.
