Emma quickly raised her head as if she sensed the boy coming closer to her, but she was unable to hide the feeling. At times she wished that her mutant abilities never existed, but she knew deep inside that her destiny was to help people using her gifts. The process of selection that some deity had used to figure out who got the mutant powers seemed crazy, it also seemed like an evil step that would ruin lives of too many people. Emma quickly gathered her thoughts and stared at the ring on her finger. The shiny gold metal that was on her finger gave her chills. Following the thoughts of her emotions, she quietly took off the ring and placed it on the able. Grabbing her coat, Emma quickly turned away, and never looked back.
"Something's wrong," Brennan said, pushing a button on the wall, "I can't get the doors to open." Brennan pushed the code in again quickly on the small device next to the door, but the security device prevented him from escaping. Luke carefully looked at the device and put his fingers on the top of it. A smile spread across his face as the device instantly changed, allowing them to enter the Mutant Sanctuary. With a little disbelief, and a strange curious flash of internal struggle, Brennan and Luke both entered the complex and instantly found Adam staring at them. "Emma left, and ever since she dissapeared objects have been going crazy, I think something's seriously wrong." "What do you mean something's wrong?" "I think the link that occurred between Luke and Emma placed a thought of disbelief that severely effected her decision."
"I found her ring over there," Shalimar said, pointing to the table, "I also sensed a strange smell coming from this area, but its nothing physical." Jesse turned from the area where the computer was located with a strange emotion on his face, "I just got a message from the safe house across town, she took her car and left, Alice thought she was acting strange so she figured she should tell us." Luke turned and saw the pain that the people were going through and he felt bad. He surveyed the eyes of the group, and although he couldn't sense their emotions like the woman they talked about, he knew that something serious had happened. "When I tapped her, I think that we traded emotions, when I saw you I didn't feel worried and I felt how she felt around you, comfortable, secure, but my emotions must have been placed on her." "What emotions were you feeling when it happened," Shalimar asked curiously. "I was confused, you know, part of me wondered why my parents had been killed and another part of me hated the people that I know killed them for me, I can't describe the anger that I was feeling because I pushed it away, but to top it all off I had a sense to just give up and to go out fighting." Adam turned to Shalimar curiously, "I want you to look in her room and see if you can find any clues, Brennan, I want you to come with me and help me show Luke how to track her." Brennan and Shalimar both nodded. "I'll try and hack into the GPS Satellites and see if I can get a track on her car, if she isn't moving I'll have a better chance of locating her."
Emma moved across the room and stared at the seven men that were approaching her. She quickly pushed images of fear into their minds, and as she watched their various reactions, she felt a large shock behind her. The emotions that she felt seemed to slip away as she began to grow weak and tired. The people that were in front of her quickly recovered and ran over to her. "Leave me alone," Emma pleaded, pushing every sense of distrust and pain of her life into them. Slowly, her eyes closed and she shut out the world completely, unable to sense even a single emotion.
"I just got word from our undercover operatives inside the GSA, they have Emma," Adam said to the group. Shalimar turned to Jesse, and then turned to Luke, "Can you sense her?" Luke seemed to think for a moment, and then shook his head, "She's unconscious, when she wakes up I should be able to tap her again, and I think if I don't push any emotions into her then we'll be able to mentally communicate with each other." "Is there any chance that it could hurt her though?" Luke turned to Jesse and nodded his head casually, "Some, but hopefully nothing will happen." Adam called attention to himself by speaking once again, "I've contacted the men and they're going to check up on her, and tell me where she's being held, then we can begin to plan a rescue operation." "Is it possible that in her state of mind that Ekheart might get to her?" Adam turned to Brennan after his question, and returned his answer with a fearful look, "Let's hope not, because it could destroy the entire fabric that we've created for new mutants in hiding."
Jesse tapped his finger on the keyboard, awaiting a response from their double agents inside the GSA although he knew that his distraught impatience wasn't helping the situation. Shalimar sat next to him against the wall, thinking, while Luke sat opposite of her with his eyes closed. His doubts, although he continuously tried to push them out, seemed to take over his mind and cause his abilities little response. Luke demanded something better of himself and if not for his sake, then for the sake of the other new mutants around him. It was his fault that Emma was in trouble, and it was his responsibility to help her return to her life, and her friends. Slowly, a voice seemed to respond to his probe, but he couldn't make it out. "She's waking up and she's responding to me, but I can't hear her answer," Luke said. Brennan and Adam turned from around the corner and stood, watching Luke. Jesse turned in the chair, and Shalimar gathered her attention to the man in front of her.
Luke calmly waited for the answer, and finally received a burst of emotion. Fear and pain formed an image of Emma tied down to a chair, and Luke saw the number 37D in his head. Emma seemed to scream with a sense of distrust, and demanded to know who he was, but as if she could instantly trust him, she sent him a message, "Help me!"
Luke looked up at the members of the group, and looked at the worried faces around him. "She needs our help, really badly."
