Mutant X "The Struggle"
Chapter 4 - Taken
8:30 am
FDR Academy
Emma and Jesse dropped off Sierra and Analyn off at school and made sure they made it in before leaving, but someone was watching. Gabriel Ashlock and The Strand had been keeping an eye on Shalimar and Sierra. She will be mine, I will have my daughter back and Shalimar. They will become part of The Strand. I will take her and the other girl to lure Shalimar and the rest of Mutant X out. I will kill Mutant X in front of Shalimar to let her understand the true power I hold and that she cannot escape me. Gabriel waited until the school seemed settled. Gabriel and Kelly got out of the van and started to walk to FDR Academy's main office. Gabriel and Kelly entered to find an elderly lady dressed in dark blue behind the front counter. "Hello," she greeted them with a smile. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm looking for my daughter, it's urgent I need to speak to her," Gabriel told the woman.
"What's her name?"
"Sierra."
"Last name?"
"Mulwray."
"Okay, and can I see some identification, please?"
"I'm afraid that I left it at home."
"I'm afraid that I can't release any information or let you see the child without identification."
"Of course, thank you," Gabriel said seeing the room number that Sierra was in. Gabriel went into the woman's mind and instructed her to call Sierra's teacher and request that the girls walk to the front office.
Minutes later, Analyn and Sierra entered and the woman told them that there had been an accident and they were to go with Gabriel and Kelly. Analyn nodded and started out of the office. Sierra quickly ran after Analyn. Sierra took Analyn's hand and used her telepathy. Analyn, can you hear me? Analyn's eyes got wide and she nodded slightly. These people are the bad guys, we're going to need to run for it. You ready? When Analyn nodded the two girls started running, but Gabriel caught Sierra's arm and separated them. Sierra got lose, but Kelly put up a firewall in between her and Analyn. Sierra instantly froze and her eyes glowed gold.
"My dear child, didn't your mother tell you that I'm a psionic, too?" Gabriel asked taking a hold of Sierra. Kelly caught Analyn and dragged her into the van.
3:25 pm FDR Academy
Adam had arrived early as he promised Shalimar to pick up the girls. Adam waited until the bell rang and then got out of the car and headed over to where their class lined up. He waited, but when their class marched out they weren't with them. "Excuse me, I'm here for Sierra and Analyn," Adam addressed the teacher.
"I'm sorry, but they were called to the office earlier today, they never came back. You might want to check in at the main office."
"Thanks," Adam said and then headed for the office. He opened the door and walked up to the front counter. "Hello, my name is Adam. I was suppose to pick up Sierra Mulwray. I was also suppose to pick up Analyn who's in the same class as Sierra, she's been given custody to the Mulwray family. And I have permission to pick them up, but they weren't with their class. Their teacher said that they were summoned here earlier."
"Let me check," she said as she turned to her computer. "Yes, here it is. They were picked up by.funny it doesn't say who picked them up, but they were signed out so they signed them out on this sheet," she told Adam handing him a clipboard.
Adam scanned the clipboard sign out sheet to see that Gabriel Ashlock had signed Sierra and Analyn out of school. "Gabriel Ashlock." Adam said quietly.
"Is there a problem?"
"Yes, this man should never have been able to check them out.he's not on their release cards!"
"He said that there was an accident! I don't know how this could have happened! I checked the cards twice! I'm sorry!"
4:00 pm Genomex
Gabriel had locked Sierra and Analyn in one of the cleaned out labs. Sierra and Analyn were sitting in a corner, when they had been put in there when they arrived at Genomex hours ago they had searched for a way out, but couldn't find any way out. The door was being unlocked and they immediately got to their feet. The door opened and Gabriel and Kelly entered. "Why hello Sierra," Gabriel greeted the child he called his daughter.
"What do you want with us?" Sierra asked.
"I want you, my dear daughter."
"Daughter? I'm not your daughter!"
"Yes you are, and I'll have your mother back in The Strand too soon."
"The Strand?" Analyn asked confused.
"Don't worry your little head.it is far too complicated for you to understand."
"Let Analyn go!" Sierra demanded.
"Such defiance from such a small child," Gabriel said walking closer to Sierra. "Don't worry Sierra you will understand what I'm talking about very soon," Gabriel said putting his hand on either side of her head as his eyes glowed red. The glowing seemed to drift from his eyes and into hers.
"Let me go!" Sierra yelled struggling. Gabriel's mind control didn't seem to take effect on her. "Let me go!" she screamed again and tried to kick him. "Your mind control won't work on me!"
"And why is that?" Gabriel asked.
"Because I am special!"
"Yes you are very."
"Well that's what my mother and father tell me."
"He is not your father!" Gabriel shouted angrily.
"He is! Adam even showed me the DNA strands that are in my DNA that are also in his. I am his daughter! And there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Oh really?"
"Yes!"
"We'll see about that." Gabriel said before he and Kelly left the room.
4:00 pm Sanctuary
Adam had called Emma, Jesse, Shalimar, and Brennan on their commrings and informed them that Sierra and Analyn was taken by Gabriel. When he arrived the Mutant X team was suited up. Shalimar had been crying Adam could tell. Brennan was holding her and Jesse and Emma were sitting together with their arms around each other. "Don't worry we're going to get them back," Adam tried to reassure them.
"He has Analyn too! She's not even a New Mutant!" Shalimar said sadly.
"They'll be fine!" Brennan told her.
"What if Gabriel's messed with their minds?" Jesse asked.
"I can fix it like when he did it to Shalimar," Emma said.
"Okay then let's go and get them back," Adam said.
5:00 pm Genomex
Mutant X landed the Double Helix on the roof of Genomex. Mutant X already knew that Gabriel would know that they were coming, but they were determined to get the girls out of Genomex. Gabriel was waiting right inside of Genomex when they walked in. "Hello Adam," Gabriel greeted.
"Gabriel, where are they?" Adam asked.
"They're here.you know it's amazing how defiant my daughter is."
"She's not your daughter Gabriel," Shalimar said trying to stay as calm as possible.
"Yes she is, and as soon as you tell her then we can get on with me killing Brennan Mulwray," Gabriel said and noticed that that had gotten Shalimar especially angry. "Then once he's dead, you will be my wife, and the other two here will join The Strand also."
"Gabriel.just give them back," Adam said.
"I can't do that Adam," Gabriel told him.
Brennan and Shalimar had had enough, "screw this!" Brennan said and shorted out the lights. Mutant X fought their way past Gabriel and headed for the inner workings of Genomex.
"How are we going to find them?" Jesse asked.
"Emma," Adam said stopping and waiting for Emma to locate them.
"They're not far from here," Emma told them leading the way.
5:30 pm Lab - Genomex
Sierra and Analyn were sitting in the corner again when Shalimar broke down the door. Sierra and Analyn instantly rushed into Shalimar's arms when they saw her. "Mum!" Sierra exclaimed crying.
"I'm so happy you're here!" Analyn said happily.
"We need to get out of here quickly!" Adam said.
"Come on," Brennan said picking up Analyn.
"Here," Adam said taking Sierra from Shalimar and carrying her. "Let's get out of here!" Adam and the others headed back to the Double Helix. Gabriel and some of the members of The Strand were waiting for them when they were almost back to the Double Helix. Kelly Rice put up a fire wall so that they would have to go through the fire wall to get to the Double Helix. Shalimar stayed back and pulled Analyn and Sierra with her when they were set down.
"Being feral, elemental, molecular, and psionic has its advantages!" Gabriel said. "I know their ultimate weaknesses."
"We're going through, Gabriel," Brennan said.
"Let's see you get Shalimar and Sierra through it."
"Come on, Shal'!" Brennan said reaching out to Shalimar, but she shook her head.
"Take Analyn," Sierra said.
"Come on Analyn," Brennan said picking her up. Brennan ran and jumped over the fire wall. "Adam! Shalimar, come on! Jesse! Emma! Sierra let's go!"
Emma and Jesse jumped over and joined Brennan and Analyn. Adam went over to Shalimar and Sierra, "we need to go."
"Mum," Sierra said, "we need to go over the fire wall to the other side."
"She can't do it and neither can you," Gabriel told Sierra.
"Will you just leave us alone! I don't like you and neither do my parents! You must be a very sad person!"
"Now, listen, you are staying with me!"
"Gabriel." Adam warned.
"I hate you and I'm not going to stay here with you! I hate you, don't you understand that?!" Sierra yelled and Gabriel was shocked. Sierra turned back to her mother. "I know it's scary, but Daddy and Analyn and Uncle Jesse and Aunt Emma are waiting. Look Adam's here, we'll all go over together.please?" Sierra pleaded with her mother. "Mum?" Sierra asked and Shalimar held onto Sierra's hand and Adam's hand. As they approached the fire wall Shalimar and Sierra's eyes glowed gold. Shalimar, Adam, and Sierra got a running start and jumped. They made it over the fire wall.
"Let's go home," Shalimar said.
Adam was smiling, "good work everyone." Mutant X along with Analyn and Sierra entered the Double Helix and headed for Sanctuary.
6:45 pm Sanctuary
Shalimar had been hugging Sierra and Analyn non stop once they got into the Double Helix and all the way home. When they got to Sanctuary Emma and Jesse headed off to one of their rooms while Adam made the whole Mulwray family report to the lab to be checked out. "Shalimar, first," Adam said.
"I'm fine!" Shalimar protested.
"Shalimar, don't argue," Brennan said.
"I just want to do a quick scan," Adam told her. Shalimar got up onto the chair and the computer scanned her. "Okay, you're fine."
"Told you," Shalimar said getting down.
"Well, I am very proud of you and Sierra for going over that fire wall," Adam said.
"Me too," Brennan said.
"You did a really good job," Analyn said trying to say the right thing.
"Sierra, you're next and then Analyn," Adam said and watched as Sierra got up on the chair, the computer scanned her as well. "You're fine." Adam watched as she jumped down too. "Analyn," Adam said and examined her as well. "You're good too, so how are those contacts?"
"They're feeling fine," Analyn said.
"Good."
"So, why don't we head back to the house?" Brennan suggested.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea," Shalimar said worried that Gabriel would go after the girls again.
"What if Jesse, Emma, and I go?" Adam asked.
"I guess that would make me feel better."
"Okay, I'll go get them."
8:00 pm Mulwray House
Everyone got into the house and set their take out on the table. When they were about to start dinner Sierra and Analyn headed up the stairs. "Hey, where are you two going?" Shalimar asked.
"Tired," Sierra said.
"Must sleep." Analyn added.
"We have school tomorrow."
"Yeah, need to get our beauty sleep."
"Okay, night," Shalimar told them.
8:30 am FDR Academy
When Shalimar and Emma went to drop off Analyn and Sierra at school Angela Baker was waiting for them. Emma and Shalimar got out and walked up to her. "Good morning ladies," Angela greeted.
"Good morning," Sierra and Analyn said in unison.
"I have good news. The judge said that we have a go with you adopting Analyn."
"Really?" Analyn asked excited jumping up and down.
"Yes."
"That's wonderful!" Emma said hugging Shalimar.
"Thank you!" Shalimar said crying as she hugged Analyn and Sierra.
"Thank you, Mrs. Mulwray," Angela said before leaving.
"Yes!" Sierra yelled hugging Analyn.
"Okay, you two go into class, you're going to be late!" Shalimar told them and watched as they ran into the school.
9:00 am Mulwray House
"Brennan! Adam! Jesse!" Shalimar screamed as she and Emma entered the house.
"What?" Adam asked.
"What's going on?" Jesse asked.
"Is everyone okay?" Brennan asked them as he ran down the stairs.
"We're adopting Analyn!" Shalimar told him hugging him.
"That's wonderful!" Brennan said hugging her back.
"Congratulations!" Jesse said.
"Yes, this is going to be wonderful!" Adam added.
The End!!!!
