Chapter 6: " Losing Hope "
## Means Thoughts ##
Emma looked at her Shalimar and Adam. Both looked so strong, but now, they feared what their friend would do to them. Adam makes a move, " Emma, I know this isn't you. But I know you're somewhere in there so please fight it. You are stronger than this, fight it!"
But the word does not get through. " No Adam, I can't fight it, I was too weak. I've always been weak. I'm always the one in the back waiting for you guys to finish the battle. I'm always the one that stays at Sanctuary doing all the boring work. I'm always the one who everyone thinks of as just Emma. Not Shalimar the fighter, or Jesse the wall. I'm just Emma and that's what I'll always be. So forget trying to bring Emma back. She's too weak anyways."
For a second there is silence but it is quickly broken by Brennan who steps in. " No, your wrong. I was the first on in the team to ever really know Emma and just by talking to you; I know you are not her. Who was the one that saved my life by risking hers? Emma has saved me and I'm sure will do so for as long as she lives. The Emma I know is full of love and patience. She has always been there for me. The Emma I know is the one I just found out I love."
Shalimar is shocked by manages to keep a straight face. Shalimar is heartbroken now; she attacks Emma in a fiery rage.
Shalimar leaps into the air and grabs Emma by her sleeves. She picks her up and throws her out the laboratory window. As Emma goes flying, Jesse walks in and quickly rushes to save Emma from the fall to broken glass. Jesse catches Emma and looks at her.
She has fallen unconscious as Jesse hands Emma over to Adam who takes her to the other lab. " Shalimar, what happened? Go calm down in your room. Jesse, Brennan, I'm going to need your help."
As Shalimar angrily walks out, Brennan looks at her. His thoughts are heard. ##"Shalimar, I'm sorry I did that to you. It's just that you've always turned me on but when Emma was gone, I realized I loved her from the day we escaped Genomex. I hope that one day you will forgive me for doing this to you but I'm just saying what my heart is feeling."##
As Emma is prepped up by Adam and Jesse, a loud explosion is heard and felt. Everything shakes as Adam rushes to the main room to see what has happened. When everyone reaches the main room, they see Saxon with a group of GSA agents.
Brennan, Jesse, Adam, and Shalimar manage to take down most agents before Saxon retreats. Adam, tired and bruised realizes, " OH NO!! Emma.."
But it is too late. Emma is gone, lost again to Genomex. Brennan and Jesse flex their muscles as they get ready to leave but Adam stops them. " No, they'll have traps for us. Going there would be like surrendering ourselves. We'll need to plan this out first. As soon as that's ordered, we will go and rescue Emma. Don't worry, they won't hurt her. They'll need her if they want us. Now, get some rest. This will be our biggest mission yet, we'll need all our strength."
Genomex
" Very good Saxon. You have had another great idea. Now, I want you to remove the chip in Emma's brain. I believe there's no use for it. Emma is fighting the chip. Her actions may not be controlled but she is stopping herself from using her powers. And with that much strain, she would die in another forty-eight hours. (Sighs) Another experiment gone wrong, but maybe we could make it right. I say we " persuade " Miss DeLauro here the location of Sanctuary. Adam may think we know where he is because of the hologram attack but we will know, and soon enough. Hopefully Ms.DeLauro will be easy to crack."
As Saxon makes his way to the lab, a guard asks him, " How exactly did you use holograms to fight with Mutant X when you don't even know where they are?" Saxon chuckles, " Simple, I hacked into their training computer, which barely has any firewalls, and used their own. Simple right?" " Yeah, yeah. So are you going to kill the mutant?" Asks the guard. " I think you are getting to be a little too curious." And with that, he grabs the guard's tazer and kills the guard in a few minutes.
~~Two Hours Later~~
Emma is carried unconsciously to a cell. Her head is tightly wrapped with a rough cloth. As she is dropped on the bare bed, she suddenly wakes up. " Wha- Huh? Oh God, am I back at Genomex? I-I can hear my own thoughts again. Thank God, for a while back, I was about to kill myself. Now, let me see if I can contact someone."
But before Emma can even use her powers, a muscular, tall, handsome guard walks over and says without emotion, " DO NOT USE YOUR POWERS! THAT IS AN ORDER! CONTINUE TO DISOBEY ME AND YOU WILL BE PUNISHED. IS THAT CLEAR?"
Emma, not wanting to be punished, stops and says a quiet yes. The guard walks away smiling, Emma, about to hit him with a psionic blast, thinks about it and stops. " Might as well try to stay alive, I just hope Adam will be able to find me." Emma looks at her right hand and notices her comlink is missing. Before she can even think about what happened to it, the same guard opens up her cell and grabs her by the arm.
By the time Emma reaches where the guard is taking her, her arm is lightly bruised and extremely sore. ( Just like my arm!! ) Emma looks around, she immediately recognizes where she is. " Oh God no, " She thinks, " This is the torture chambers for mutants. I've heard of this place. Please, someone save me."
Eckhart walks up to Emma and points to a metal chair. Immediately, two guards grab her by arm and drag her to the chair. Mason Eckhart is then handed a metal hat with antennas sticking out on the top. A large computer is at the side of the room, and for the other side, an arsenal of tazers all shapes and sizes. One guard straps Emma on forcing her on the chair. In the struggle, Emma hits her head hard and because of the earlier surgery, it hurts.
Mason Eckhart picks up the metal hat\device and inserts it on Emma's head. A loud ringing sound is heard throughout the entire room, but it soon dies down. " Now Emma, (holding the tazer) where is Sanctuary located? What is the password for the Mutant Database?"
But Emma is silent. In a flash, Eckhart walks up to the computer and sets it to 10. The computer makes a loud whirring sound and Emma's head feels like it is about to explode. The pain is intense. And it is worse since Eckhart is shocking Emma with the tazer. " Now, do I have to set the computer higher, or will you tell me where Mutant X lives?" But Emma is not about to give up all of Adam's work. Emma: " How about you untie me and let us talk in a room alone. Then I'll start talking."
" Ha ha ha. Ms. DeLauro, I would think not. Now, tell me or I will give this pleasure to Saxon. And he does not like the word no. Saxon's name runs throughout Emma's head. ##" No, he betrayed me. And I trusted him."##Emma looks angrily as Saxon enters. " Hello Emma, how are you doing today." When Emma doesn't answer, Saxon goes over to the large computer and switches the dial to 60.
Pain rushes through Emma's head but she tries to stay strong. ##" I can do it, I just have to hold on.."## But the pain suddenly advances as Emma's consciousness loses. Emma's site fades out as Saxon looks at Emma with killing eyes. ## Weakling, she didn't stand a chance. She will give in soon enough. Then Eckhart will dispose of her. Hopefully, I will get the honors."##
Sanctuary
Adam walks throughout his room. Papers are scattered everywhere on his messy bed. Adam clenches his head as he thinks of a plan to save Emma when it suddenly hits him.
Shalimar and Jesse are at the computers when Adam walks in. " Ok team, I've got a plan. I'll inform you on the way to Genomex. Jesse, go get Brennan. Shalimar, go prep up the Helix."
Genomex
Emma strains as a scientist injects Emma with a green colored liquid. " Now Emma, " says Eckhart as he rubs his pale arm, " Are you going to tell me where Mutant X lies? Or do I have to torture it out of you?"
Emma glares at him. She instantly feels dizzy as the guards let go of her. They grab her wrists and pull her of. When the guards finally stop, they type in a code and throw Emma in. She looks around; she is in a containment for mutants of some sort. Dozens of people\mutants are walking around restlessly. Some are even just mere children. Emma looks to her left. About fifty cots are laid with a number on the side.
## What is this place? What am I doing here, why-why am I getting so.so..dizzy.## Emma collapses but a tall man of about 6'3 catches her. " Hey, you okay?" But Emma does not answer, she has fallen unconscious in the strangers arms.
Another section of Genomex
Brennan and Adam cautiously search every room hoping to see Emma waiting in one of them but every try comes out hopeless. " Adam, how are we going to find Emma? There must be a hundred rooms in here." But Adam does not even look discouraged. " Don't worry Brennan, we are covering this area as Shalimar and Jesse are taking another. It won't be long until you can finally tell Emma you love her." Brennan looks embarrassed. " So you heard huh?"
" Of course I heard your speech. I was there too remember? Now, don't worry, try to stay calm." Adam and Brennan hide as a guard passes them. " Yeah, I forgot. How do you think Shalimar handled it? I mean she wasn't exactly friendly to Emma afterwards.."
" I know Brennan, but that's not here talking, it was her talking. It was her feral side taking her pride over. Ferals like to win, at everything. Whether it's a game, a match, or even a guy. They will do anything to get what they want. But I'm positive that Shalimar never meant to hurt Emma in any way. Trust me Brennan, remember that I know much more about this than you do. Now let's try this room."
