I know the first part was a little short so I made this one a little
longer. Enjoy!!

Brennan and one of the three assailants continued to exchange blows until his opponent got frustrated and decided let Brennan know his own mutant power.
Smirking at Brennan the man brought his hands up above his head and then without warning slammed them into the floor causing it to violently shake. Brennan fell to the ground and was about to get up when the guy repeated his actions on a nearby wall causing some of the ceiling beams to fall.
Shielding himself from the falling debris Brennan suddenly remembered that Shalimar and the little girl were further inside the building "Shal can you hear me?"
"Brennan what the hell is going on?"
"It seems one of the guys chasing the girl was a new mutant and he decided to bring down the house-literally" seeing the man move to make another shockwave Brennan quickly shot a bolt in his direction but not before the guy was able to knock out a support beam in the middle of the room. "Shal this place going to come down we need to get out of here" he yelled into his comm. Suddenly a piece of debris came down smacking him in the head and knocking him unconscious
"Brennan can you hear me? Brennan we are on our way out"
~~~
Not knowing if he heard her response or if he was hurt Shalimar grabbed the girl and they starting make their way out of the alcove when one of the beams above them came loose. Hearing it breakaway before actually seeing it Shalimar pushed the young girl back into the alcove just as the beam and part of the ceiling fell caved in trapping them in the alcove.

Brennan struggled to lift his head off the floor. He had a killer headache as he shook off the last bit of unconsciousness and pushed himself into a sitting position. Looking around he took note of the new mutant's limp form buried under a piece of pipe that had fallen. Suddenly he remembered that Shalimar and the young girl were still in the building.
"Shalimar can you hear me?" frantically he called into his ring
"Hello who is there?" an unfamiliar voice answered
Brennan's panic level began to rise "is Shalimar with you?"
"Yes but she is unconscious and pinned under some rubble"
"Can you tell me how to get to your location?"
"I think so" she replied
Following the girl's directions, Brennan came across what was once the room she said she ran into. "Oh man" he said under his breathe as he cautiously moved through the debris. Stepping on a loose floor board Brennan lost his balance and almost plummeted to the floor below. "Damn" he muttered as he was sure he just sprained his ankle
Meanwhile Allison was trying to stay calm when Shalimar began to stir. "Shalimar wake up" pleaded the young girl
Feeling a heavy weight on her Shalimar fought her way to consciousness and to the pain the accompanied it. "Allison?" she called out trying to move from the prone position
"No don't move there is a piece of ceiling pinning you down"
"What happened?" groggily she asked as she had now fully opened her eyes to the very large piece of ceiling lying across her. "Oh that happened" she said dropping her head back down
"Your friend is looking for us"
"Brennan" she said softly trying to remain focused "Brennan can you hear me?" she said a little louder
"Shalimar are you ok?" the worry evident in his voice
"Not really. You are going to need help to get us out of here"
"I'll contact Adam"
"Ok we'll stay here" she joked trying to lighten the mood. Realizing he had closed the link she turned her attention to Allison. "Are you hurt?"
"No you pushed me out of the way, I only have some scrapes."
"Good so you mind telling me why they were after you?"
"You and Brennan is his name right?" Shalimar nodded "were no doubt sent to put me in the underground"
"We were supposed to be meeting a man"
"My father...he is..was a new mutant. He was hoping you would send me into the underground in his place"
Scrunching her brow in pain and confusion Shalimar asked "why?"
"I saw something I shouldn't have" taking a deep breathe she continued "those men that were chasing me work for a very powerful mob boss who I saw kill an innocent man. I told my father what happened but they must have saw me leave because the next day they showed up at our home, that was two days ago"
"So your father contacted the underground to get you to safety"
"Yeah we were on our way to meet you when they ran our car off the road" she paused again trying to hold back the tears "my father was pinned in the car and he told me to run to the meeting place and the rest.... well you know the rest"
"So your father could still be alive?"
"I guess"
"When we get out of here I promise to help you find your father" she said before a coughing fit hit her. Gasping for air after a few heavy coughs Shalimar looked down at the ground next to her to see the dirt covered in blood "oh great" she muttered
Seeing the blood Allison began to panic "maybe I can dig us out" she said as she frantically began pulling at the debris that blocked their exit
Seeing the beam on the ceiling move with every piece Allison pulled out Shalimar yelled to her "STOP! You are only going to cause the rest of the room to collapse if you keep that up"
Looking up Allison took note of the beam that slowly shifted when she moved the debris. She also took note that the beam, should it fall, would no doubt crush Shalimar. Backing away slowly Allison went back over to Shalimar's side "I'm sorry I was only trying to help"
"I know but we are going to have to wait for my friends"
Pulling her knees up tightly to her chest Allison merely nodded in reply and prayed that the rest of Mutant X got to them soon.
