Chapter 5: Making A Friend
Shalimar and Brennan stood in the middle of the room for a moment. "So you wanna sit down?" Brennan asked Shalimar softly.
"I thought you'd never ask." Shalimar replied.
They walked over to the wall and sat down, Brennan put his hand on Shalimar's thigh and smiled at her. Shalimar gave him a kiss on the cheek and she rapped her arm around his and leaned her head against his shoulder. "There still looking at us." Shalimar whispered.
"I know!" Brennan whispered back. "Should we say something?"
"I don't know." Shalimar replied.
"Alright I will." Brennan said. He was about to stand up when the metal door opened up and five agents entered the room dressed in black and wore black sunglasses. Brennan eased himself back down beside Shalimar as the agents walked towards the middle of the cell.
"Agents, this cannot be good." Shalimar said softly to Brennan.
One of the agents stepped forward. "Alright everyone, I would want Ferals over here, Elementals over here, Moleculars over there, Psionics over there, and Unclassified over here." The agent ordered pointing to different sides of the room. Shalimar and Brennan stood up and moved to their side of the room that the agent instructed. The other mutants didn't move from their spots. "What are you waiting for, move into a group!" The agent said angrily.
A man in the front of the group spoke out after a moment of silenced. "What the hell are you talking about? I mean what the fuck are Ferals, Elementals, Moleculars, Psionics, and Unclassified?" He asked.
"You mean you don't know what I'm talking about?" The agent asked a little surprised, the whole group shook their heads yes. "Alright will do this the long way. Go get some lab techs and tell them to bring some Mutant classification tests." He ordered one of the agent's behind him.
Shalimar couldn't help but giggle at the sight of the New Mutants who probably didn't even know they were Mutants. The agent turned towards her and she stopped giggling. "Do you have a problem Feral?" The agent asked.
"Actually I do!" Shalimar replied taking a few steps closer towards the agents.
"What about?" The agent asked.
"We'll its you and your homeboys back there behind you." Shalimar said jokingly.
"Shalimar don't it." Brennan said realizing what she was about to do.
"I just want to play." Shalimar said will a smile as she ran her fingers across one of the agent's chest as she circled them like a predator would its prey before going for the kill.
She kicked one of the agent's feet out from under him and attacked another with three kicks into his stomach. Brennan couldn't just let Shalimar fight this jackass's by herself, so he gathered some energy into his hand and shot it at one of the agent's behind Shalimar. Shalimar was about to attack again when the door opened and the lab techs entered with three other agents.
"TIE THESE TWO UP!" The man on the floor yelled to the other men. The three agents at the door rushed in and grabbed Shalimar and Brennan, and tied their arms behind their backs.
"Damn that ruins our fun." Shalimar said with a disappointed look on her face.
The agents held Brennan and Shalimar as the lab techs did the tests on the New Mutants. After fifteen minutes the lab techs had the New Mutants split up into five different groups.
"Eckhart wants them split up into two different cells." A lab tech said.
"Aright!" An agent replied, as the lab techs left. "Ok now I want Ferals, Elementals, and unclassified Mutants to come with us, and the others stay here." The three different groups followed the agents out of the cell. At least four agents guarded Brennan and Shalimar as they led them down the hall to another cell.
Before the Brennan and Shalimar were thrown into the cell with the other Mutant on of the agents stopped them. "Eckhart wants to see Adam's Elemental in the lab." Two agents led Brennan down the hall towards the lab.
"What are you going to do to him?" Shalimar asked as an agent pushed her into the cell.
"Oh don't worry you'll find out soon enough, since your next!" The agent said with a smile, and then shut the door.
"Oh shit!" Shalimar mumbled to herself. She moved over to the wall and sat down with her hands still tied behind her back.
She sat there for a while and tried to untie herself but it was no use the bonds wouldn't break. She sighed and slammed the back of her against the wall.
A shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, she looked up a saw a young girl standing beside her. She had straight dirty blond hair down to her shoulder and green eyes, she looked like was in her early twenties. "Here let me untie you." She said with a big smile as she bent down to help Shalimar.
"Thank you." Shalimar said.
The girl untied Shalimar's hands and sat down beside Shalimar. "So you're a Feral?" The girl asked.
"Ya, what about you?" Shalimar asked her.
"I don't have a classification." The girl replied.
"Oh, then what's your Mutant ability?" Shalimar asked curiously.
"Invisibility!" The girl said with a smile.
"How so?" Shalimar asked.
"I can turn myself and anything I want invisible just by touching it." The girl explained.
"The how did you get caught, you could have gone invisible and escaped." Shalimar replied.
"I tried but the men had thermal sunglasses on." The girl replied.
"Oh!" Shalimar answered. "I'm Shalimar by the way." She introduced herself.
"Lydia." She replied.

Adam and Emma sat beside Jesse as he tried to hack in further into the GSA system. "This might take awhile!" Jesse explained as he stretched his fingers.
"Why?" Emma asked.
"Well there are so many firewalls that take awhile to break, and when I break them they take me to a different page I wanted." Jesse explained.
"How long will it take?" Adam asked.
Jesse sighed. "It could be hours, days, or even weeks. Its hard to say really."
"We'll its really late, we should get some sleep and pick it up tomorrow." Adam suggested.
"I'll go up in a minute I want to try to get past the firewall." Jesse said as Adam and Emma got up to go to there rooms.
"Ok, but don't stay up to late you need your rest." Adam said patting him on the shoulder.

Shalimar kept worrying about Brennan, it had been a long time since she saw him and she was scared that they were hurting him. She talked to Lydia for the longest time, which help keep her mind off Brennan.
"So your boyfriend is a Elemental?" Lydia asked Shalimar.
"You mean Brennan?" Shalimar replied.
"Ya, isn't he your boyfriend?" Lydia asked.
"I guess you could call him that." Shalimar said with a smile.
"He is pretty cute!" Lydia said.
"If you think he's cute now, you should see him with his shirt off." Shalimar told her, and they burst out laughing.
"You must be worried about him, huh?" Lydia asked her as the laughter died down.
"Hell yes! This guy that took us will probably do painful experiments on Brennan and I or even kill us." Shalimar explained.
"That's not as bad as what he'll do to me?" Lydia replied.
"Why do you say that?" Shalimar asked her.
"Eckhart's been after my friends and I, ever since we escaped this place." Lydia explained.
"You were one of his Mutant's?" Shalimar asked a little surprised.
"Ya, I escaped about a year ago, with my friends over there." Lydia said as she pointed to a girl and man over in a corner. "I was surprised that Eckhart found us."
"Well I think that was our fault. Eckhart has been after one of our friends for the longest time." Shalimar explained.
"You mean Adam?" Lydia asked.
Shalimar turned her head around to face Lydia. "How do you know about Adam?"
"Every Mutant here knows about Adam, and how his team Mutant X helps New Mutants into the Underground, so Eckhart can't find them." Lydia explained, she turned and looked at Shalimar. "So you and Brennan are two of his team members?"
"Ya." Shalimar answered with a big sigh. "So what Mutant abilities do your friends?" Shalimar asked.
"Faith is a Elemental and Ben's a Feral." Lydia explained.
"So all three of you escaped this place?" Shalimar asked her think of a plan.
"Ya, we use to work here so we know this place like the back of our hands." Lydia said with a smile.
"Could you find you way out of here if you had to?" Shalimar asked.
"Ya, but with all of these New Mutants here, there'll defiantly more guards patrolling each floor." Lydia answered.
Shalimar thought for a moment. "How about getting to a computer without being caught?"
"It would be a piece of cake!" Lydia said with a smile.
"Two men are coming!" Shalimar said standing up.
"How do you know?" Lydia asked as she stood up beside Shalimar.
"I'm Feral, my sense are more sensitive than yours." Shalimar said before the door opened. Two men entered the dragging a limp body by the arms behind them. They dropped the body face down on the floor in the middle of the room, then turned and left. Shalimar crept closer to the body with Lydia right beside her the whole time. Shalimar knew admittedly whom the figure was as she got closer. "BRENNAN!" She screamed as she ran to his side. She flipped him over and saw that he had bruises on his temples and neck. "Lydia, help me bring him over to the wall." Shalimar ordered.
Lydia grabbed Brennan's legs as Shalimar grabbed his arms. They lifted him up and brought him over to the wall and laid his body down. Shalimar sat beside him and lifted his head onto her lap. She stroked his hair and whipped away her tears that she felt running down her face.
Lydia sat back down beside Shalimar. "He'll be ok." She said trying to comfort her.
"I know." Shalimar softly.
