Alexia didn't like being on machines, they made her nervous. "So this machine stops my mutations." She asked Adam.

Adam laughed. "Well, your body is in a constant state of mutation. This machine stabilizes your whole body and the systems to a state of balance."

Alexia rolled her eyes muttering, "Great, just what I need. Another reason to feel like a freak."

Adam laughed. "Being a new mutant is just a part of you, Alexia. Don't feel bad. It will just take some time to get use to."

"Fine. Let's get this over with." Alexia sat in the chair hoping she would feel better.

Lana Reiber pulled Kevin's head back. "I said to call her, you pathetic little worm." She then dunked his head in water.

He began to cough. "Her cell phone is turn off. I can't reach her any other way." Kevin said hoping that this woman would stop trying to drown him.

Lana then maliciously smiled. "Oh well, guess I'll just have to use Proxy Blue to my advantage. Does Alexia listen to that blue CGI bitch." She asked him.

Alexia occasionally watched Proxy Blue, but this woman was ruthless. "Yes." He answered not wanting to be tortured anymore.

Lana Reiber then kissed his head. "Thank you, Kevin. Clean him up and lock him into a cell." She said to the guys throwing his head back into the water tank..

"Hmm, wouldn't you two just look at..." Jesse and Shalimar walked in on Brennan and Emma kissing one another.

"Well, this is certainly a surprise." Shalimar grinned as Emma and Brennan straightened themselves out.

"What's going on?" Brennan asked.

"Is Adam done with Alexia?" Emma wondered how Brennan's sister was coping with all of this.

Jesse said, "I don't think Alexia or Adam are going to be so thrilled when they see this." Jesse turned on the TV monitor inserting the tape.

Proxy Blue came on the screen. "Ever wonder why people don't go downtown anymore? Well, we start with people attempting to abduct other people in broad daylight. Not to mention these people flooded a restaurant. I tell you some people aren't as normal as they seem. Well this guy is missing now. Was he abducted? Is he being held hostage by them? And for what purpose?" Proxy Blue then went dead quiet.

Shalimar's eyes lit up. "That guy was with your sister Brennan. I saw him. He got taken by those GSA scum."

Alexia came out. "Who was captured by the GSA?"

"How are you feeling sis?" Brennan looked at Alexia.

"A little strange, but much better. So who...oh Kevin. We've got to help him." Alexia pleaded.

Shalimar approached Alexia. "Alexia, he was the scumbag that ratted you out to the GSA." She told the teenager, but...

Alexia's eyes began to fill up with water. "I don't care if he sold me out. We can't let the GSA have him." She just wanted to make sure he was safe.

"Fine, but we do this as exactly as Adam says to do it." Brennan hugged his sister.
