Chapter 9: No more Pain

Emma looked around. She couldn't see. At first, she thought she was blind but it turned out to be a cloth over her forehead. ## Where am I? ##

Emma starts to concentrate on Brennan. But he seems to be out of reach. ## I have to get out of here!! ## She tugs at her binding which seem to be blocking out the circulation of blood in her arms and legs. Her whole body seems to go numb at the same time.

Suddenly, a loud BANG is heard and Emma hears Brennan's voice. Brennan: " Emma! Are you okay?" Brennan says in a worried pain. But Emma responds in a reserved calm voice. " I'm fine, just please get us out. This place has so many bad memories; they're making me feel weak. I-I don't think I can keep my mind protected for long."

" Okay Emma. Let's go."

Emma and Brennan start to head for the door marked EXIT. As Brennan slams the door open to see the sun shining brightly above them. Emma calls for Adam on her comlink but Shalimar answers.

" Hey Emma, what? I'll come get you right away. Stay where you are."

Minutes later Shalimar and Jesse arrive with the Helix. Brennan and Emma enter as the jet zooms off. Nobody notices that Adam is even missing.

Back at Sanctuary, the team is on a frenzy looking for Adam. They have done a complete scan but the comlink was removed and Adam is nowhere to be found.

TO BE CONTINUED..

Do you think there should be a sequel? I dunno..Tell me what you think about my first Mutant X fic. I'm already started on my next.

Idea: Emma and Brennan are married happily until..
