I do not own Mutant X. (Just thought I'd let you know.)
Author's note to thee: Don't forget to R/R if you like how this fanfic is going so far. And another thanks to my better reader.

Emma woke up before the knock on her door came this time. "Mrs. deLauro this came for you. I'll leave it outside your door," came a voice from the other side of the door.
"Thank you," replied Emma as she walked over and opened her door. She picked up the large box and brought it into her room. She opened it and took out its contents. Every thing was there. She picked out something to wear for the day and arranged the rest of the stuff where she thought it would look best.
********************************************************
Shalimar was in the dojo kicking some halos butt when Brennan came up the stairs. "Hey Shal are you ever going to let one of those guys win?"
"What's the fun in that?" Asked Shalimar as another hologram faded away. She walked over to the computer to shut off the program she had bin running and walked over to Brennan.
"So what do you think Eckhart will do with Emma?" He asked.
"Brennan I don't really want to think about it. I don't want to wait to see what happens to her I want to storm the place and get her out of there."
"Hey you heard what Adam said. We wait for Eckhart to make a move."
"What if he doesn't? Then Emma will be stuck there for years."
"Ha, you think Eckhart wouldn't try to find a way to get her to work for him? He'll make a move sooner or later."
"Brennan I just don't want to loose her again. What if."
"Shalimar look at the facts. Eckhart would never kill Emma she's to valuable to him. He's made it obvious that he wants her on his side. I don't think he would even put her in a pod."
"Ya but-I don't want to talk about it any more." There was a hint of sorrow in her voice when she said this.
"Oh, sorry," said Brennan.
"It's ok," replied Shalimar. She walked back over to the computer. "Would you like to join me?"
"Sure, but let me get at least one guy down."
"Ok then." Shalimar set up a program.
********************************************************
Rap, rap, rap. "Mrs. deLauro, Mr. Eckhart would like to see you in his office right away."
Emma opened the door and found Mr. Skline waiting for her. "Good mooring," said Emma as she walked past him and towards Eckhart's office. She opened the door and saw Eckhart sitting in the chair behind his desk as usual.
"Ah Mrs. deLauro. I have a few GS agents awaiting your orders."
"Thank you Mr. Eckhart. I'll be off then."
"Mrs. deLauro if you happen to run into any of the members of Mutant X. I want them brought back alive. Understood?"
"Yes sir."
"Good the agents are waiting for you at the front lobby. Oh and don't disappoint me," warned Eckhart.
"I won't," said Emma as she let her self out. When she got to the front lobby she found that all the agents were men. "Men useless, emotionless, and brainless." Emma walked up to the group. "When we get to the safe house wait for me to deactivate the alarm. Then I want ever mutant captured. I don't care what they do to try to get away. If one mutant gets away you will all answer to me. Understood?"
"Yes, ma'am." said the troops in unison.
"Lets go then," said Emma leading the troops to the awaiting vehicles.
When they finally got to the safe house Emma signalled to the troops to follow her but at the same time keep their distance. She walked over to the hidden keypad and punched in the code. It beeped softly telling her that the code was accepted. A hidden door opened. "It's all clear follow me!" She shouted as she walked swiftly into the safe house. The troops followed close behind. She led them to the main room. New mutants were all around. "I want every last one of them obtained. Don't let one of them get away." She shouted. She noticed a security camera in the corner. She turned to it smiling evilly and spoke. "I guess I'm not as helpless as you thought I was? Oh and how did you like my acting?" Emma noticed a mutant heading for the exit. She hit the mutant with a psionic blast. "Someone get him into the transport." She turned back to the security camera. "Oh and do be careful you might be next."
A man approached Emma from behind. "Mrs. deLauro all the new mutants have been apprehended."
"Good get ready to leave as soon as I come back out."
"Yes Ma'ma," he replied. He jogged back to tell the others. When he was gone Emma turned to the alarm switch she had been standing by and turned on the silent alarm. Then she exited the safe house.
When she got in the vehicle she asked the driver, "how many new mutants were apprehended?"
"Twenty-one Mrs. deLauro. Two of our men were badly injured."
"Well make sure they get medical attention when we get back to Genomex then."
"Yes ma'ma," said the man. The rest of the way it was quite.
Eckhart was waiting for Emma when she arrived. She got out of the vehicle to meet him. "So how did it go Mrs. deLauro?" Asked Eckhart a slight eagerness could be heard in his voice.
"Twenty-one new mutants were seized. Not one got away." Emma spoke in a professional sounding voice.
"And no sign of Mutant X?"
"Not at all."
"I'd higher your command but I don't want to start taking orders."
"Well, is there anything else you would like me to do?"
"No, you may take the rest of the day to do as you please Mrs. deLauro."
"Thank you sir." Said Emma. "Well I hope they hurry up and check the security tapes. Then they'll start to worry." She went inside the building thinking of what she could do to pass the time.
************************************************************
"Shalimar, Jesse, Brennan. There has been a break in at one of the safe houses. I want you to get over there A.S.A.P."
"Which safe house Adam?" Asked Brennan.
"It's the one on 167th street."
"Ok were on it," said Shalimar. "Was it Eckhart?"
"We wont know until you guys get there," sighed Adam.
"Adam we're in. There is no one here and I mean no one," said Shalimar into her comlink as she turned off the still blinking silent alarm.
"We were to late. Well grab the security disc and get back to Sanctuary so we can see what happened," instructed Adam.
"I got it," said Jesse he walked back through the wall and over to Shalimar and Brennan.
"I wonder how Eckhart pulled it off," said Brennan.
"We'll find out soon enough. Lets go."
Shalimar was already half way to the exit. "No kidding."
"Hey wait up!" Shouted Jesse and Brennan running to catch up to her.
When they got back to Sanctuary Adam was there to meet them. "Where's the disc?"
"Right here," said Jesse as he handed the disk to Adam who took it and went hastily over to the computer. He hit fast forward till he saw some new figures he brought it to normal speed. "And here they come - Emma!?" Adam stopped the footage and turned around to the others. He could tell by the looks on their faces that they were as un-happy and confused to see her as he was.
"I can't believe this, Emma would never - She's got to be under Eckhart's control or something," said Shalimar still staring in disbelief at the screen.
"Adam can you play more, so we can see what's up?" Asked Brennan. Adam nodded then turned back to the computer and hit play. They all watched and listened. Hoping that none of the words she said were her own. Adam stopped the recording when Emma walked off the screen.
"Please tell me she didn't say that." Said Shalimar. "Did you see her hit that new mutant with one of her blasts?"
"Oh she said it. But she can't have meant it. I mean she couldn't have been faking it that night." Jesse had a look of pure grief his face.
"Adam we have to sneak into Genomex and see what Eckhart is doing to her. She's not like that. She'd never use her abilities on an innocent person. Eckhart had to have done something to her," pleaded Shalimar.
"I think Shalimar is right. We have to go and check out what Eckhart is doing," agreed Brennan.
"You have to remember there is a possibility that Emma did this out of her own free will. I mean if she can use her powers she isn't wearing a governor. Witch means Eckhart thinks he can trust her. No matter how much we don't want to believe it. We have to consider it."
"Oh Come on Adam we need to see what is going on. We already have seen what happens when we wait for Eckhart to make his move first." Shalimar glared at Adam. "If we wait for him to move again we might meet him here next."
"You have a point Shalimar. We can't sit here and do nothing. But if someone goes into Genomex they have to get out as soon as they figure out what is going on."
"Well who's going?" Asked Shalimar.
"Well does every one agree with sending someone to find out what is going on?"
"Yes," said Jesse and Brennan in unison.
"Um, ya," said Shalimar in an annoyed voice. They were wasting time and she was none to happy about it.
"Fine then it's agreed. Now we need to pick who."
"ME!" Shouted every one at once.
"I personally think Shalimar should go. She would be the one least likely to be detected," said Adam.
"Ya, but if she sees Eckhart she'll probably strangle him," said Brennan in an attempt to change Adam's mind so he could go.
"Like you wouldn't," said Shalimar almost smiling.
"Fine then Shalimar and I will go. And that's final. We'll wait for night and then go. Jesse you'll need to tap into and keep an eye on the Genomex security cameras on the computer and tell use if someone comes our way. Brennan you'll be waiting in the Helix."
"Oh come on."
"I said there will be no objections. We can't risk having someone else being caught." Adam cut Jesse off. "Until tonight I want Eckhart's actions to be monitored closely."
"Sure thing Adam," said Brennan.
