Ice jumped from the roof. He landed on the car bonnet, denting it, just as Shalimar caught sight of him. Gotta move fast, he thought. He smashed the windscreen with his good arm, but was surprised when he went to grab Jesse and his arm went right through him, grabbing the back of the seat.
"Jesse!" Shalimar yelled.
"I'm okay," he called back as he phased through the car, and Ice, and went to Shalimar's side.
"Go get the others, Jesse," she said. "I'll deal with mister Smiley."
"Okay," he replied. "Be careful." With that he ran off to find the others, who had already entered the museum hall.
"Hey kid!" Shalimar called over to Ice. He was perched on his haunches on the car bonnet, staring at her through menacing eyes, through two straggly plaits that covered his eyes. Shalimar thought his hairstyle was strange as the rest was cut short. "What's your problem?" she continued. "We're here to help you!"
"Yeah, right!" Ice slid off the bonnet and slowly gaited his way towards her. At first, Shalimar thought he was trying to act tough, but then she saw his bleeding arm and realised he was injured and was obviously light headed and couldn't walk in a straight line if he wanted to.
"If you're that badly injured, are you sure you're in a good enough condition to take me on?"
She sounds genuinely concerned, his human side told him, then his feral side came through. She's mocking you! She thinks she's better than you! Show her your power, and then kill her! Ice turned slightly, to show the damage done to the car.
"Okay," Shalimar commented, "I guess you are in a good enough condition." Shalimar took up a fighting stance. Ice stood stock-still and upright, smirking slightly, revealing a glimpse of paranormal canines. They were just about to attack each other, when a black van pulled up on the other side of Jesse's car. Four GSA agents got out and clambered over the car. One was holding an unusual cannon, with four pitons in the barrels. A net drooped down to his ankles. He fired the cannon and the net stretched to cover both Shalimar and Ice. Ice began to create a shard of pure ice energy in his hand as the bio-neural net locked onto its target to cover the pair. . .

Adam entered the museum first, to be greeted by a large rock hand, which grasped him by his collar and dragged him in.
"Adam!" Emma came running in after him, shortly followed by Brennan. They were met by a rain that stung to the touch. Brennan tried to fire a few electric shocks to a dark figure he could see in the middle of the storm, but each bolt just seemed to direct itself to another figure nearby and struck them, without effect.
"Stop!" The rain ceased. Emma and Brennan were lowered to the floor by a gentle breeze. When they reached the floor, Adam was dropped beside them. He gasped and tugged at his collar, trying to catch his breath. Adam looked up to see a tall stocky man made of stone, staring down at him, his face stern. He changed into a normal man yet he was still the same height and build. He smiled.
"Sorry 'bout that." His voice boomed slightly.
"I apologize for any inconvenience I may have also caused," a young black girl knelt down nearby. A young, short, auburn haired girl just looked at Brennan and smiled mischievously.
"I too, apologise for the actions of my band," a young auburn haired man said, helping Adam up. Brennan helped Emma up, and then they dusted themselves off. The man looked similar to the short girl, but a bit taller. A blond man walked in between them and held out his palm. A fireball exploded in his hand, engulfing it.
"To warm you up and dry you off." He commented.
"I knew you were good for somethin'," the black girl commented as she slapped him playfully round the back of the head.
"Ow! Hey!" He stumbled slightly, and then regained his balance. "Watchit! Do you know how easy it is to start a fire in this place?!" He smiled as he joked.
"We, have come to help you," Adam said, ignoring the blond man. "I am. . ."
"We know who you are." The leader, as Adam perceived him, interrupted. "You are Adam, and you two," he pointed at Brennan and Emma, "are two members of Mutant X." He looked at Adam. "Tell me when I'm getting' warm."
"You're cooking." Adam replied.
All of a sudden, Jesse phased through the wall and stopped startled when he took in the scene. "What the. . .?" Jesse stood stock-still for a fraction of a second, and nearly un-phased his foot, whilst it was still in the wall.
"It's okay Jesse, we are in no danger." Adam reassured him.
"Yeah?! Well tell that to the guy who destroyed our car and is now fighting Shalimar!"
"What?" Emma's voice nearly cracked.
"Shit! It's Ice!" the leader exclaimed. "If he's out there at full health, she's already dead!"
"Looking for something?"
They all turned around to see a small squad of GSA agents, who had snuck in without them knowing. They leader who had spoken, had a figure over his shoulder.
"Shalimar!" Brennan hollered. He looked at the grinning face of the agent. "If you've hurt her I'll. . ."
"You'll what?" the man butted in.
"Where's my brother? What have you done with him?" the blond man asked.
"Ah, yes. You must mean this." The man moved slightly to show that Shalimar had a handcuff on. It went down a short chain to another handcuff, which was attached to Ice, whose body was being dragged along behind. The man let go of Shalimar and she rolled off his shoulder, hit the floor with a thud, and then rolled over to Ice, where both of them lay unconscious next to the guard. "Let's get this over with." He said. The other agents nodded.
