Chapter 13: Revenge Is Deadly
All four Mutant X members met Adam down in the lab after finding Devon and Sydney gone.
"I'm going to take the Helix and go get them," Brennan announced.
"But how will you find them?" Emma asked him.
"My car has a tracking device, right? So we just follow them in the Helix until they stop," Brennan suggested.
"Lets go!" Shalimar was eager to get her children back; she didn't want to lose any of them again.
"Fine all of you go," Adam finally agreed.
The four dashed out of the lab and boarded the Helix. Brennan immediately took the controls, while Shalimar quickly located the car and up the image up as a hologram.
"Isn't that one of Eckhart's buildings?" Jesse asked the group.
"Yes!" All three replied.
"Shit," Jesse whispered to himself, but Shalimar heard him.
* * *
Devon and Sydney sat in the car for a few minutes. Devon looked over at Sydney. "Lets go." Sydney nodded and got out of the car.
Sydney led Devon over to the front door where she walked right into the lobby, one of the guards move up to them, but noticed it was Sydney.
He smiled. "Out late Sydney?"
"Ya," Sydney replied. "Is uncle Mason in his office? He wanted me to bring someone to him."
"I'm pretty sure he is," the guard moved aside and let the two pass.
Sydney walked down the hall to the elevator, she pressed the button and it started downward. She took in a deep breath. "Let me do the talking."
"Fine," Devon replied before the door opened.
* * *
Brennan cloaked the Helix and set it down in the parking lot across from the building. They all looked at each other waiting for one to say a plan on how to get into the building. Shalimar couldn't take the wait any longer; she stood up and stormed out of the Helix.
Brennan was the first to go after her, "Shalimar what are you doing?"
"I'm going in to save our kids," she replied over her shoulder.
All three had to run to catch up to her. Jesse looked over at Shalimar and saw the determination written on her face, "So are you just going to waltz right in, beat the shit out of the guards, and march down to Eckhart's office?"
"Yup!" Shalimar stated without taking her eyes off the door coming up in front of her.
"Sounds good to me," Jesse agreed.
"Let's do it then," Brennan added right before Shalimar swung the door open.
The guards looked up from their post and saw the four walk right in. Two stepped out in front of Shalimar. "Where do you think you're going?"
Shalimar flashed her yellow feral eyes, "Wherever I want!" She punched both hard in the face without breaking her stride.
The other two guards noticed they were under attack and quickly moved over to sound the alarm. They crumpled to the floor as they were hit by a tremendous amount of electricity. Shalimar looked behind her as she walked to the elevator and saw Brennan smiling at her with a huge grin of satisfaction on his face.
The four stood silently in the elevator. Emma finally broke the ice, "You know we're going to do this fast, before those guards wake up or someone finds them."
That was one thing Shalimar knew they could handle. "You're right."

Sydney opened up the door to Eckhart's office and entered with Devon right behind her, "Uncle Mason!"
The chair swiveled around and Eckhart appeared, his eyes widened seeing Devon behind her. "I thought I told you not to bring him here until I said so."
"Well I changed the plans," Sydney said angrily.
Eckhart was surprised at Sydney's mouth and he stood up. He was going to walk over to them when Sydney quickly gathered some energy and threw it at Eckhart knocking him back into his chair, "You're not going anywhere!"
"What the hell is going on?" Eckhart asked stunned.
The two teens stood in front of his desk, and Sydney crossed her arms in fury, "You should have thought about that before you killed our grandfather."
"So you're here about that," Eckhart smiled. "It was necessary to get rid of him."
"Wrong!" Devon said angrily, he gathered some energy and gave Eckhart a shock.
Eckhart looked into both of the kids' eyes; all he saw was pure hatred. He slowly pressed a button, with his pinky on the arm of his chair signaling agents to his office. "What are you going to do with me?"
Sydney gave him a sly smile; she and Devon started walking over to the desk, they each took a side beside Eckhart. "What do you think Devon?"
"Hmm…. let me think. What about electrocution?" Devon suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Sydney agreed as they both gathered some energy.
Before they could start five agents stormed into the office with guns aimed for Devon and Sydney.
* * *
Shalimar was first to exit the elevator and she looked up and down the hall. She noticed some agents leaving a room half way down the hall, then start running away from them. Shalimar whipped around and she had a nervous expression on her face, "I think they found them."
"Shit!" Brennan took off down the hall after the agents.
Sydney stood motionless as the agents pointed their guns at them. Both kids still had a ball of energy in their hands. Devon glanced at Sydney, he was going to warn her but it was too late. Sydney had released her ball of energy into one of the agents. Devon noticed one half of the agents closest to the door fall down by electricity coming from the hall. He knew it was his dad, and probably his mom was with him too. Sydney kept gathering energy and throwing it at the agents, she didn't realize that one was off in the corner waiting for a good shot.
Devon saw the man lift up his gun towards Sydney, "SYDNEY LOOKOUT!" Devon yelled, he hurled himself over to Sydney. The gun went off as Devon tackled his sister to the ground.
The Mutant X team took down more of the agents and entered the room. Eckhart was not in the room anymore; they noticed Devon lying over Sydney protecting her from the agents. They immediately attacked the few agents still in the room.
Sydney nudged Devon. "Devon you can get off me now." Devon made no movement to get off. "Devon!" All she got was a soft groan; she pushed Devon off of her.
Her hand was all wet and she lifted it up to look, it was covered in blood, she glanced down at herself and blood was all over her. She quickly checked her body but the blood wasn't coming from her. Sydney sat up and looked at Devon, he was barely breathing, and the blood was poring from his chest. She immediately started putting presser on the wound. Tears streamed down her face as her brother looked up at her and smiled at her weakly.
"You're going to be fine," Sydney, told him wiping away her tears. He nodded weakly as she looked up towards the door to see her parents finish off the last of the agents.
Brennan and Shalimar both noticed the pool of blood around Devon and rushed over to him. "OH MY GOD!" Shalimar yelled running over to her son.
"He's going to be ok right?" Sydney asked.
"We have to get him to the lab," Brennan said before carefully picking his son up into his arms. "Lets go."
Jesse and Emma led the way out of the building; they had to take out three agents to get out safely. "I'll drive the car back," Jesse volunteered.
Emma uncloaked the Helix, and Brennan rushed Devon onto the jet. He laid Devon down and Shalimar started working on her son's wound. Brennan stepped back and placed his arm around Sydney's shoulders. She placed her head onto his shoulder, and watched her mother work quickly on Devon. Shalimar got frustrated very fast; she wasn't good on fixing gunshot wounds.
"EMMA, CAN YOU GO ANY FASTER?" Shalimar yelled.
"I CAN'T MAKE IT GO ANY FAST!" Emma yelled back to her.
Shalimar huffed before returning her attention back on to her son, who was now unconscious. She glanced up from her work and gave Brennan a worried look. He didn't want to know why she was worried; he just wanted to get to Adam so he could work on him with better of equipment.
"WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" they all heard Emma yell.
Shalimar finished up what she could on Devon, then walked over to Brennan. He grabbed a hold of her waist and pulled her into a tight hug. "Is he going to be ok?"
"I don't know. He's lost a lot of blood." Shalimar explained.
Suddenly Devon woke up with a huge cough he spit up blood everywhere. All three moved to his side, as Devon's body started to shake. His eyes fluttered open, he saw three blurry figures standing around him. The blood started flowing out of the corner of his mouth and down the side of his face. Shalimar grabbed a hold of his hand giving it a tight squeeze, to reassure him that everything was going to be ok; even though deep in her gut she knew there was a good chance he could die.
"It's ok, Devon, everything is going to be ok," Shalimar told him, using all her willpower not to break down crying.
"I love you guys," Devon said softly giving a small smile.
They all noticed that he was turning white and running a high fever, his wound was starting to release more blood, and it dripped from his chest and on to the floor making a small puddle.
Shalimar gripped his hand tighter, "Don't talk like you're going to die sweetie. You're not going to die."
Devon looked up at the ceiling, "I can't feel my legs," he announced softly.
Shalimar turned to Brennan; her eyes were turning red from the tears that started rolling down her face. "He's not going to make it," she choked seeing a few tears fall down Brennan's face.
He was going to say something reassuring but was interrupted by Devon coughing. They both turned back to their son. Shalimar first to lean down and give her son a kiss on the forehead; knowing well that it was probably going to the last one she'd ever give him. "I love you sweetie."
Brennan bent down also and kissed his son goodbye. "I love you to, but everything will be fine, you're going to be fine," Brennan tried to admit.
Sydney was also crying, "Devon I love you." She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Devon coughed up some more blood, but grabbed on to Sydney's hand. "Promise you'll take… good care of mom… and dad?" Devon asked in between coughs.
His eyes slowly lost their spark of life, as he died in front of his family. Shalimar burst out sobbing, throwing herself over her son's lifeless body. Brennan rubbed her back with his hand, and then brought her into his arms as she cried her heart out. Sydney was quietly crying to herself as she felt the Helix set down.
Emma ran out to them and saw Devon's still body and everyone crying. "Oh no."
* * *
Shalimar, Brennan and Sydney stood in front of Devon's gravestone. Sydney bent down and placed a red rose on top of the headstone, "Goodbye Devon." She stepped back between her parents; they both wrapped their arms around her. Sydney for the first time felt like she belonged. "I promise," She whispered softly. She would keep her promise to Devon until the day she died.
