"Can you both slip your hands out of you cuffs?" Asked Emma.
"Yup," said Brennan.
"Same here," said Jesse.
"Ok then out you go. Don't forget to make it look real," said Emma. They walked into Genomex, Emma holding on to both Jesse and Brennan's handcuffs from behind. The first person they saw was Mr. Skline.
"Mrs. deLauro, I see you are back with the rest of Mutant X. Come with me Eckhart is where the other two are being held as we speak. Oh and are they governed?" Asked Mr. Skline
"Yes they are. You don't have to worry about them," answered Emma.
"Would you like me to hold those two for you?"
"No that won't be necessary. Just show me to Eckhart."
"Yes ma'am." Mr. Skline led the way. When they got to the room where the others were being held, he opened the door to let Emma in. She made Jesse and Brennan go in first as she held on to their handcuffs.
Eckhart greeted Emma immediately, "Ah Mrs. deLauro I see you brought the rest of the now fallen Mutant X. Are they governed?"
"Yes sir." Emma looked over at Adam and Shalimar they where wide-awake.
"I can't believe you Emma," Yelled Shalimar. "Come over here and take off these things I'll show you what the members of the 'fallen' Mutant X can do."
"I'm sure you would." Scoffed Emma.
"Mr. Skline," said Eckhart as he nodded his head. Emma didn't even have time to wonder what Eckhart was doing before she felt a sudden pain in the back of her neck.
"It's on," said Mr. Skline.
"Emma," gasped Adam.
Emma didn't even look surprised. "I have a little something for you to Eckhart." She let the handcuffs slide off Jesse and Brennan's wrists. The cuffs clanked as they his the ground.
"Mrs. deLauro I thought you where on my side," said Eckhart.
"Well thanks to a little help from a friend I'm not any more." After Emma had finished her explanation she punched Eckhart in the face. He fell backwards onto the ground it was a KO, Brennan shocked Mr. Skline as he tried to get away. Jesse ran over to try and free Adam and Shalimar. "You'll need these," said Emma throwing a pair of keys towards Jesse.
"Thanks," replied Jesse. Emma walked toward Adam and Shalimar.
"Emma, thank God. I thought Eckhart was going to actually win for once," exclaimed Adam as Jesse unlocked the clasps that where holding him to the wall.
"I'm sorry for what I said to ya Emma," Shalimar offered apologetically.
"It's ok I deserved it," replied Emma. "I should be the one asking for forgiveness. I really screwed up this time."
"Well at least you didn't try to kill any one this time," joked Shalimar.
"You do have a point. I didn't try to kill anyone this time."
"Well are we going to go?" Asked Brennan, "Or are we going to wait around for some of your GSA buddies?"
"Yes we should be on our way. But first can you deactivate that governor Brennan?" Asked Adam.
"Ya sure thing. Turn around Emma." Emma turned around. Brennan shot a low voltage bolt of electricity at the governor.
"Thank you," said Emma.
"Now lets go." Adam opened the door. On the other side was a security guard who ran to the nearest alarm when he saw Adam. In seconds a, high pitched siren could be herd through all of Genomex. "Now we really have to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Here we go again," sighed Emma as they ran though Genomex.
"Hey at least it's usually the other way around," smiled Shalimar. They were challenged by a GS agent before they had taken no more than ten paces.
"I got him," said Emma sending a psionic blast in his direction. When the man fell to the ground they began running again. Jesse noticed Emma was slowing down slightly.
"Emma you ok?" He whispered.
"Ya. That blast caused me some pain. Running isn't helping it go away either." Answered Emma keeping her voice low as well.
"Lets slow down then."
"Can't if I cause every one else to slow down. The security will have more time to respond they'll be all over us." The pain in Emma's voice was becoming more and more evident.
"Then just us two will slow down to a walking pace. I can tell the pain is getting worse by just listing to your voice."
"Jesse I'll be fine." Insisted Emma trying to erase the pain from her voice.
"Well I don't want you suffering more than you have to. I'm walking." Jesse slowed his pace to match Emma's.
"Fine then. We'll walk," said Emma in a reluctant voice. Even though inside she welcomed the much slower pace.
They walked for a while until they got to a corridor that split into four different hallways. When they looked down the hallways that went to their left, right, and ahead of them. They saw that there was a man posted about half way down each of the three hallways. But it was already too late to turn back they had been spotted by all three guards.
"Stop right there," yelled one of the guards.
"Mrs. deLauro get away from him he is dangerous," shouted another.
"Well at least it's fair, right," said Jesse getting ready for them to come.
"Jesse you and I both know I am not a champ in hand to hand and plus all of them have tazers. I don't want you to get hurt. And listen there are more foot steps coming from the hallway in front of us," said Emma hastily. The men were now about nine paces away. "I'll broadcast something that will scare them out of their minds."
"Emma don't." Jesse watched as Emma's eyes turned black for a second before three black waves shot from her head. One in the direction of each man. As soon as a wave made contact with its target his eyes widened as he turned to run. Two of the men dropped their tazers as they ran screaming like little school girls that had just been shown a bug by a boy who was now chasing them. Meanwhile Adam had watched the whole thing as he ran in Jesse and Emma's direction. He picked up a tazer one of the men had dropped. And then watched as Emma collapsed on the floor holding her head in he could tell she was in a great deal of pain. Adam ran even faster and was by her side in seconds. "Adam we have to help her," panicked Jesse.
"I don't know how though," said Adam he was keeping very calm for the situation. They watched Emma make an attempt to look up.
"Tazer," was all she managed to say her voice filled with the agony of the pain she was in.
"Right," said Adam first checking to make sure it was on the lowest setting. He used it on her.
"Adam!"
"It's ok. She's not in pain any more. Lets go. I'll carry her."
"I can carry her."
"Ok then," said Adam chucking the tazer to one side. Jesse picked up Emma.
When they got in the Helix, Brennan took off right away. Shalimar turned in her seat to ask Emma and Jesse why they got so far behind. When she saw Emma being put in her seat her body limp. She instead asked, "What happened to Emma? Tell me who did it and I'll go back and kick their ass."
"From what I saw she did it to herself. I'll have to check her over when we get to Sanctuary," said Adam.
"What do you mean she did it to herself?" Asked Brennan not bothering to look back.
"Well it's kind of hard to explain," said Jesse.
"Just explain what she did to herself," said Shalimar impatiently.
"She shot some kind of black blasts from her forehead. I've never seen her do it before. That might have been part of the reason she left," sighed Adam.
"You mean she could be capable of a lot more then what she is telling us." Concluded Brennan.
"I'm afraid so," said Adam. "When Shalimar and I met up with her. She used her ability on us. She first immobilized us, by making us believe are feet where stuck fast, and then she bombarded us with negative emotions. We were down in a matter of seconds. I myself did not think she could do that."
"Adam I think she can erase a persons memory. Not the whole thing but just stuff that has recently happened," said Jesse.
"Do you have any proof?" Asked Adam.
"Well she was watching my back when we were fighting The Strand. When I had finished what I was doing and came back to meet up with her she had someone out cold. She told me that she went a little overboard, but not to worry because that person wouldn't remember a thing," answered Jesse.
"She's beginning to sound more and more dangerous by the minute. I wonder if she could kill someone with that mind of hers," said Brennan.
"Jesse might be right. I advise you all not to under estimate her capabilities for now. She's hid one, maybe even two ability's from us. We can not rule out the fact that she might be hiding more."
