Jesse looked over at Diana and said "Let's go now!"
"I don't want to cause any more trouble." Diana said softly.
"Adam's dead. We need him alive." Jesse said softly. "For all our shakes."
"Please Diana." Emma pleading from where she stood next to Jesse's back. She laid an gentle hand on Jesse's shirt just as Diana made the connection to step back in time. All three of them stepped back five minutes earlier to the room where Gabriel was just shooting the huge electrical ball at Adam. Jesse was able to shield himself, Adam and Diana just as the ball hit. But without realizing that Emma was their also the young woman took the ball straight in the chest. She through to the far wall and slammed heavily into it losing conscience.
"EMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMA.................................." Adam, Jesse and Diana all screamed looking at the fallen woman.
Gabriel just laughed. "See what happens when you screw with time Diana. Somebody could get hurt." He knew that time was altered when the three Mutant's came onto the scene to save Adam. He was not at all sorry that he hurt Emma. He wanted to kill Adam and he knew that he did and that was why the mutant were on the scene now. "Oh well Adam I'll get you another time." Jerking his head toward the fallen Emma. "At least I got sweat mixed up psi Emma Delunco!" He walked out of the room to go find young Adam to make sure that young Adam did what he had to do to save the boy Gabriel.
"Jesse and Diana get to the young me and do whatever you have to do to convince him not to give Gabriel the medicine to keep him alive forever." Adam said from where he knelt beside the young woman. He placed an hand on her waist and breathed an sigh of relief as he felt an pulse.
***************
Jesse and Diana rushed from the room and ran into Brennan and Shalmair who was walking beside young Adam.
"Who are you?" Young Adam asked.
"We are friends." Jesse said with an slight nod. "Emma's down."
"How bad?" Shalmair breathed.
"She's alive. But weak." Jesse said softly.
"Take me to her." Young Adam said.
Jesse shook his head. "No Adam. We came here to help you decided NOT to allow the boy Gabriel to live for ever."
"You too? Why am I not surprised." Young Adam said with an slight shake of his head. "Don't worry. Brennan and Shalimar have helped me make sense of my conscience. I'm just on my way to unhook the IV." He said walking to the door and opening it.
"That's what you think Adam." Gabriel said with an evil grin from where he sat on the desk to the right of the door.
**********
"Stay with me Emma." Adam said softly as he held the young woman in his arms. "We will be home before you know it and I will get the medicine you need in you." He knew that time was running out for Emma. *Come on guys get this business over with so we can get back to our time and save Emma.*
*************
"Emma is going to die and I will live forever." Gabriel said with an smile as he slowly stood up.
"No!" Young Adam said. "I'm going to unhook the IV." He started toward the bed where the boy Gabriel was sleeping.
"I knew you would never do what you set out to do Adam. So I did it for you." Gabriel said as all eyes went to the bag of fluid that was half empty.
Brennan suddenly threw an electrical ball toward the bag and they all watched it explode into an billion pieces.
"NO!" Gabriel shouted as he lost control of all his powers at once and aimed full forced at all the mutants.
Jesse jumped in front of young Adam and protected him with his powers just at Diana used her power to open the warp and rapidly spinning Gabriel fell into it and was transported back to the power plant.
"Thanks." Young Adam said softly and started at Jesse's back as he turned back to normal. "What the hell are you?" He asked he looked around himself at the mutants and finally began to realize that it was not normal for human beings to have super human powers.
"Let's just say Adam that you are just beginning your life work." Shalimar said gently. She knew that they couldn't tell Young Adam about them now when he was just beginning to learn what he needed to know for the future. *It will ruin everything in the future if Adam knows about Mutants now.*
***************************
"Hold on Emma. We will be home soon I promise." Adam said softly with tears running down his checks as he felt Emma slip away more. He knew without an doubt that it was he who was apposed to die from Gabriel's hands.
*****************
"We have to get back to Emma. She needs us now." Shalimar said suddenly.
"Let me come with you." Young Adam said.
"No. You are needed here to wait for the boy to wake up." Brennan nodded his head over to the table.
"I'm an doctor I can help your friend." Young Adam replied.
"You all ready have." Jesse said with an smile. "Just for being who you are you have helped Emma and us more than you ever will know." He placed an gentle hand on Young Adam's shoulder.
"I can do more. Medical speaking." Young Adam said.
"Stay with the boy Adam. We will be all right." Shalimar said as she walked to the closed door and opened it and followed her team mates out of the room and shutting the door on Young Adam.
****************
The door opened suddenly and in rushed the Mutant X team and Diana presented the warp in an matter of seconds and with Adam in the lead carrying Emma they all jumped through time back to present day.
"He's alive." Shalimar said as her fiery eyes turned back to normal.
"Stay close and let's get the hell out of here. With Gabriel still alive he is more dangerous now than before." Adam said as he hurriedly carried Emma toward the exit where the Double Hextit was.
The Mutant X followed close behind their boss and father figure praying that they can save Emma in time.
