Chapter 3 - Three
Sanctuary
When Adam and Jesse returned to Sanctuary with Cody, Brennan was in the dojo working out in a hologram simulation. "Brennan, are Emma and Shalimar back with the girls, yet?" Adam asked.
"No, why?" Brennan asked as he left the dojo and ended the simulation.
"Because."
"Because why?" Brennan asked following Adam and Jesse to the med lab. Adam set the bundle down in the examination chair and uncovered a hidden little boy. "Who's child?"
"You don't want to know what I think."
"What?"
"Just let me run the scans first," Adam said activating his equipment.
A Few Hours Later.
Sanctuary
Emma and Shalimar returned with Analyn and Sierra. They were all very happy. Emma and Shalimar were discussing the movie while the girls were talking to each other about their new books. "So, did you all have a nice time?" Adam asked as he and Jesse greeted them.
"Yes," Emma answered.
"What's wrong?" Shalimar asked sensing that there was something going on.
"Why would there be anything wrong?" Jesse asked.
"Because there is," Sierra said crossing her arms.
"Oh great! What now?" Analyn asked.
"Where's Brennan?" Shalimar asked.
"He's fine!" Adam told her.
"Then, what's going on?"
"Jesse and I went to one of the safe houses today and got a visit from Kelly Rice."
"Isn't she part of The Strand?" Emma asked.
"Yeah," Jesse answered.
"Apparently Harrison has been working on genetically engineering. He tried to create another child for Gabriel," Adam added.
"What?!" Emma and Shalimar asked at the same time.
"Doesn't sound good," Analyn said to Sierra, and Sierra just shook her head.
"He apparently tried to follow the same procedures as I had when we went to Genomex," Adam explained.
"But?" Shalimar asked.
"But he didn't do it correctly, and Gabriel was going to." Adam looked over at Sierra and Analyn and then back at Shalimar and Emma. "He was going to send the child away."
Sierra just rolled her eyes, "come on! We may be kids, but we know what you're talking about," Sierra told them.
"Fine," Adam said. "Gabriel was going to kill the child because the child was not perfect."
"You keep saying 'the child'," Analyn noted.
"Like I said before Harrison followed the same procedure as before, except he grew the child Gabriel wanted. The child is a boy, his name is Cody. And." Adam took a breath, "Cody.Cody has a few medical conditions.that.well make him different."
"Different? He's a New Mutant, right? And he's even more different?" Shalimar asked.
"He's going to have special needs," Adam explained.
"Ummm.Mum, we're going to our room now," Sierra said.
"Okay," Shalimar answered still in shock of what had been happening.
"He has disabilities?" Emma asked.
"Yes," Adam said.
"He's my son, isn't he?" Shalimar asked, she had been thinking about what Adam had been saying and it was finally sinking in. She saw Adam look down and hold his head as he began to sit down. "Adam?"
"Yes, Cody is yours and Brennan's."
"Oh my god!" Shalimar said as Emma put her arm around her.
"It's going to be okay, Shalimar," Emma told her sensing that Shalimar's emotions were becoming out of control.
"I told Brennan and he was quite upset.he retreated to your room. I'm sorry Shalimar; I should have made sure that I destroyed everything when I was at Genomex."
"Shal'," Jesse said, "everything's going to be okay."
"Jesse's right, Gabriel won't come after your family anymore. He's given up on getting you and Sierra, and lost a reason to want to kill Brennan. And he doesn't care about Cody," Emma told her.
Sanctuary - Med Lab
Sierra had said that she and Analyn were going to their room and they were.just right after they went into the Med Lab. They entered the lab to see the little boy they knew was Cody sleeping. "How old do you think he is?" Sierra asked Analyn quietly.
"Three.maybe two.he's sort of small," Analyn said.
"Yeah, I was small for my age for a while, too."
"So, why is everyone so upset over him?" Analyn asked. "I know he has special needs, but.I mean Adam, Mom, Dad, Uncle Jesse, and Aunt Emma will be able to take good care of him until they put him into the underground. I mean, there has to be a family in the underground that will take him."
"Yeah, but I don't think that's what they're so worried about," Sierra said approaching Cody more. "Hey Analyn?"
"Yeah?"
"You know how to use the scanner, right?"
"I've never done it before, but I know how to do it."
"I want you to scan Cody and then scan me," Sierra said. She felt something when she was near Cody and she couldn't quite explain what it was.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, and then we'll compare them."
"Okay," Analyn said a bit hesitant. She turned on the scanner and watched as it quickly scanned Cody's small body. Sierra was sitting in a chair next to Cody when Analyn scanned her too. "Okay, now we can compare them," Analyn said as Sierra jumped off of the chair and joined her. Analyn brought up the two scans and did a comparison. "The computers say that your DNA almost matches."
"Analyn, we have a brother," Sierra announced.
"Really?" Analyn asked excited.
"Shh.we need to sneak back to our room before we get caught. Erase the scans so we can go."
"Okay," Analyn said pushing in a sequence. "Done!"
"Okay, let's go!" Sierra said as she and Analyn turned and started to leave the Med Lab. But Sierra stopped.
"What is it?"
"Cody," Sierra smiled and turned back around. Cody was awake. Sierra walked back to Cody. "Hi Cody," Sierra said. Cody's brown eyes were sparkling as he smiled at her. "You know who I am, don't you?" Sierra asked, but Cody just smiled. Hey Cody, it's your sister, Sierra.
Sierra?
Good job, Cody! Sierra turned to Analyn, "he may not talk yet, but I can talk to him.
"Not fair!" Analyn said.
"Telepathy and being feral can be good things at times."
"You sure I'm not a New Mutant?"
"And what would your New Mutantcy be?"
"Good question?"
Cody, Analyn and I are not suppose to be here, don't let them know, okay?
Sierra.
"Great, I think he just knows names right now," Sierra said. "Let's go!"
"Bye Cody!" Analyn said.
We'll see you later, Cody, Sierra told him before she and Analyn quickly left the Med Lab for their room.
