Alexia
Chapter Nine

Author's Note: This was written a little after Blood Ties, but when "A Breed Apart" aired, I decided to give a little time to Gabriel. I have plans for him in the sequel. Alexia didn't know anything about Gabriel, except that he was in the pod, so she felt bad for him.

Alexia was running towards the place where Kevin was being held. Kevin was here somewhere. She knew what section it was, but couldn't seem to get there for some weird reason. This place was like a maze. Alexia hated this. Then she hid quickly as she saw some guards.

The guards had left after two minutes and she was thankful for once. Kevin and her would leave this place and be happy together. Alexia smiled at that thought, then she saw him in a cell. He was sleeping.

Alexia decided to wake him up and get the hell out of here with him. "Kevin, it's me Alexia." She whispered in his ear.

"Alexia." Kevin opened up his eyes and let his hand stroke her cheek. "We've got to get out of here. These people are psychotics."

She smiled at him. "Hey, have we ever let anything stop us before. You're right about these people being psychotics, Kevin. I couldn't let you stay here. We are getting out of here." Alexia helped Kevin up.

They slowly opened the door and saw a man with a woman who hit Alexia with her fist and her eyes became sort of like a cat. "Ouch." Alexia said using her hand sending a blast of water at the woman, when the woman managed to flip out of the way at the last second and hit her again.

Then the man spoke. "I don't think so, Miss Mulrway."

Alexia couldn't believe this was the second time that she had been hurt. In time maybe she could focus her powers, but now it was up to using her brain. "You must be Mason Eckhart, the biggest asshole that I've ever met." She said with bravery in her voice.

Mason Eckhart didn't look pleased with her. "I see that you've heard of me. I'm flattered. You and me are going to have a discussion after I have Ms. Reiber take care of you."

Alexia eyes widened and she said, "Okay, I owe her some pay back." She was scared, but tried not to show it.

Emma was trying to pick up on where Alexia was in Genomex, but she was getting nothing. It was like Alexia was purposely trying to block her out.

She couldn't believe that her and Jesse were dressed up as GSA guards. Alexia was somewhere in this complex. They had to find her before she got in trouble.

"Jesse, where do you think Alexia is?" Emma asked Jesse. "I can't sense her."

"Is she blocking you?" Jesse paused, then said "She's probably trying to rescue her boyfriend." Jesse commented.

"I can't tell. I hope that Eckhart hasn't gotten to her yet." Emma disliked Eckhart vehemently.

"Hey, this is my sister. I'm in the computer system now. Oh no. They found Alexia." They heard through their DNA rings.

"Where is she?" Emma asked.

"Unit B." Brennan told Emma.

Shalimar and Adam then said through their communciator's, "We are going there right now."

Alexia ducked Lana's fist as it hit right through a wall. Alexia then made Lana go right through the floor as she liquified the floor. "Hmm, that takes care of her. Would you like some of me?" Alexia glared at Mason Eckhart challenging him.

Mason Eckhart was scared. "Hmm, that was impressive. I guess I'm not going to be able to get you see things my way." He suddenly took out a gun and shot it at her.

Kevin pushed Alexia out of the way. "Alexia...no."

Alexia eyes filled up with tears. "Kevin, oh Kevin. Why did you risk your life for me?"

Kevin then whispered "Forgive me, Alexia."

Those wore the last words she heard from him. Alexia then kissed him on the forehead. "You're forgiven, Kevin." She closed his eyes. "How could you...." Alexia then had been grabbed by two GSA thugs.

Mason Eckhart then laughed, "Ms. Mulrway, you will learn not to underestimate me. Secondly, your new mutant abilities will be made to serve the GSA." He told her as she was being dragged by two thugs.

"There's no way I'm going to serve you." She said.

"Hey, that's no way to treat a young woman." Shalimar said doing a karate chop to one of the thugs holding Alexia.

Alexia then punched the other thug out. "Man, that feels good." Alexia commented.

Shalimar smiled. "Nice, right hook, Alexia. Are you okay?"

Alexia looked at Kevin's dead body lying on the floor saying, "No."

Adam then said; "Alexia, there's nothing we can do for him."

Emma smiled when she and Brennan embraced one another. "Go to her Brennan. She needs you right now."

Brennan didn't say anything. He just kissed Emma.
