Chapter 8: Firewalls
Emma and Brennan let go. The force has begun to get a little too strong as Brennan and Emma both back up. Brennan slams his hand down onto the cot, " Damn it! I finally muster enough courage to tell you I have feelings for you and I can't even hold hands with you. Dammit Emma, can't you use your powers or something?"
Emma smiles, " Brennan, the microchip is inside our bodies. Trying to deactivate would mean trying to shut ourselves down. It would be suicide. We'll just have to cope with it until Adam, Shalimar, and Jesse rescue us."
Brennan: " Uh Emma? They got Adam too. I overheard them using some machine to use Adam's voice telling Shalimar and Jesse to get back to Sanctuary. Unless they've done something to Adam, we're alone on this. Shalimar and Jesse might not realize what's happened before its too late."
Emma looks down disappointed. " I see.. Well, I'm going to search for an exit to this place then. There must be someway we can escape." Brennan agrees as they both reach in for a kiss, but remember they can't touch. " See ya Emma."

Adam wakes up to a sandy wind blowing in his face. He looks around and quickly stands up. " The desert? What am I doing here?" But before Adam can even think about an answer, he notices a huge sandstorm headed his way. Adam scrambles to safety but there's nowhere to go. He runs over to a nearby palm tree and hangs on for his life. The wind is pulling him towards the sandstorm and his grip is growing weak. Adam lets go thinking about all his friends.

" Anything Emma?" asks Brennan half a yard away, " No Brennan, nothing. The only exit I found was a password door. We'll need a password to get out." But Brennan is thinking, " Hey Emma, that means it's an electrical door right? I'll just discharge it with my powers and we run for our life. You run ahead and I'll be in the back. " Okay"
Brennan charges up an electric ball as Emma backs up trying to escape the sparks flying everywhere. As other mutants start gathering up, watching the spectacle, a guard tumbles through the crowd. " What's going on here?" he barks. Emma sees the guard and uses her power to make him believe he is alone, with a pack of wolves.
Finally Brennan uses his powers and hits the door with all his power and the door glows blue for a minute. Emma rushes to Brennan as he collapses being weakened from using too much power at one time. " Brennan, you okay?" Brennan smiles weakly.
" Give me a year and I think I'll recover." Emma chuckles lightly, " Come on, I'm going to see if the door is deactivated now. You rest here for a second. When it's open, we run."
Emma heads towards the door and touches the keypad. No light, no sound comes from it. She then summons up all her psionic strength and uses it to push the door. At first it creaks, but then it breaks into a thousand pieces. Brennan watches and says, " Whoa, I didn't know you could do that. Come on, lets get out of this dump." But before Brennan and Emma leave, Emma calls out to the other mutants, " You guys can come too. We'll get our freedom together."
Emma and Brennan run throughout the corridor not exactly close together. Because the hallway is so wide, Emma and Brennan can safely stay at one side without being thrown the opposite direction. About a dozen of mutants follow nearby wondering if this couple can really lead them to safety after seven years.
BAM!!!!
BOOM!!!!
Emma, Brennan, and the group of mutants all crash into the wall as a mutant with extremely large muscles breaks down the wall. Brennan charges up his hands as Emma focuses her mental powers. But the group of mutants is frozen in fear. With the strong mutant at one end, and a mass of mutants blocking the other, Emma and Brennan find that they are at a firewall.
Eckhart steps behind the muscular mutant and asks him to retrieve Emma. The mutant automatically obeys and heads for Emma. Brennan steps a few feet ahead of her and charges up to the max. He throws all he cans at the mutant but it barely stuns him. Emma thinks quickly, she quickly charges a psionic ball and hurls it at the sprinklers over the mutant's head. Brennan notices this and throws another electric shock. The mutant cries out in pain and faints in a loud crash. Eckhart looks worried. But he swiftly grabs a remote control type machine and turns it on. He then speaks to it: " Get the red head for me. Kill the shocker."
Twelve mutants start to walk towards Emma and Brennan. They both start running towards Eckhart as Brennan gives him a quick shock , enough to bring him to the ground. Brennan and Emma run, one mutant uses it's telekinesis powers and lifts Emma. She then is pushed towards Brennan which then reflects them both. The two go flying into one side of the hallway, both creating massive holes. Brennan's eyesight begins to fade. He stays conscious just long enough to see two mutants carry Emma away.
Author's note: Whatcha think? I thought it was pretty good since I have never written a Genomex scene. Next chapter comin' soon, just be patient. But if you really can't wait, then please review. They inspire me to write and I just love reading them.
