SHALIMAR'S ROOM
SANCTUARY
"So, how are we going to work this?" Brennan asked Shalimar. Sierra was sitting in a chair reading a book in French that he had brought with her from London.
"I don't know, I don't think any of the rooms are big enough for the three of us," Shalimar told him.
"Did you ask Adam?" Sierra asked looking up from her book.
"No, why?"
"You never know what secrets our Sanctuary may hold," Sierra said cryptically and then went back to her book.
Shalimar looked at Brennan. "I've already told her that she's been in London TOO long," Brennan told Shalimar. "She calls you mum, she has an english accent, she speaks French."
"I can even READ French and sign ASL," Sierra added.
"Yes, and we're very happy you're back," Shalimar told Sierra.
"Mum," Sierra said holding her locket. "If you had known that I was alive and in London, would you have come and gotten me?"
Shalimar was shocked that Sierra would even ask her that. "Of course, we would have come right away! Sierra, you don't know how upset I was when I thought that you had died right after you were born!"
"We would have done anything to get to you if we knew you were alive and in London, we love you Sierra!" Brennan added.
"You know what? We've pretty much missed all five of your birthdays," Shalimar said taking Sierra's book and then sat down in front of her. "Why don't we make up for it?"
"Good idea," Brennan agreed.
"Really?" Sierra asked and her face lit up with joy. "I've never done anything for my birthday before."
"Really?" Brennan asked, "well, we'll just have to do something about that!"
"Come on," Shalimar said dragging Sierra out of her room with Brennan following. She led the way to the dojo area and left Sierra and Brennan while she went into the lab to find Adam. And sure enough Adam was in the lab, she entered and waited for him to notice her.
A few minutes passed, Adam looked up and saw Shalimar standing in the doorway. "Yes?"
"Adam, we're going out for awhile," Shalimar told him.
"What?! No?! You can't!"
"Come on, Adam! We'll be careful!"
"Do you plan on taking Sierra?" Adam asked and Shalimar nodded. "And what happens when you run into Gabriel? Shalimar, he's the most powerful New Mutant that I know of! He'll kill Brennan and then take you AND Sierra!" Adam picked up a device and injected Shalimar's arm. "THAT was a nanochip that will circulate through your blood stream, I will be able to track you, AND it will alert me if you try to leave Sanctuary."
"Adam!" Shalimar said upset holding her arm.
"I WILL NOT lose any of you! I'm going to inject the others," Adam said leaving the lab with Shalimar following.
"What's going on?" Brennan asked as Adam and Shalimar approached him and Sierra. Shalimar was NOT happy.
"I want you ALL SAFE! It's that simple!" Adam said and then injected Brennan and Sierra quickly.
"What the...what was that?" Brennan asked.
"A nanochip, I'll be able to track you and it will alert me if you try to leave Sanctuary."
"Oh..."
"I don't like it!" Shalimar told Adam.
"Come on, Shal'...what if Gabriel takes one of us? This way Adam will be able to track us," Brennan tried to calm her.
"What's going on?" Emma asked as she and Jesse walked up behind Shalimar, Brennan, and Sierra.
"Emma. Jesse. Come here please," Adam said and they did what they were told. Adam injected them both.
"What was that?" Emma asked.
"A nanochip, it can help us track you in case something happens and it alerts me if you try to leave Sanctuary. Now, I don't want ANY of you to leave Sanctuary!"
"But Adam...what about Sierra's birthday? Or me and Brennan getting married?" Shalimar asked.
"You can have a birthday party here, and are you two getting married immediately? Look, I'm just trying to protect all of you. And I know that it has to be harder for everyone to stay underground since Sierra's arrived and since you two are getting married."
"Fine! We'll try harder to remember that we HAVE to stay here," Shalimar told Adam.
"Okay, I know that everyone probably has a list started of things they need or want...so, how about I let two or three of you leave to go get certain days? And if I can help get you anything, then just ask."
"Deal," Jesse said.
"Speaking of things that you can help with. Adam, we were wondering if there's a bigger room?..." Shalimar asked.
"For you, Brennan, and Sierra?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah...I'll show you later...so, tomorrow I'll let some of you go out for a while."
