[Junkyard]
Walking between the rows of cars Emma took in their surroundings and making sure they were out of hearing distance of the others she finally spoke "why the hell did you agree to let Shalimar go off on her own?"
Looking around Marc replied "because we are going to shadow her, we know when and where so if we get there first then we can step in" when he was finished he started walking again
Jogging to catch up with him Emma finally put all the pieced together "you're going to sacrifice yourself aren't you?" when he didn't reply she grabbed his arm and stopped him "aren't you?"
Looking at her for moment "yes" was all he said
"Why I though we went over this?"
"Just don't try and stop me ok"
"What did you see?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I know that you made other trips I sensed it from you when you walked past me in your room"
Looking from her then off into the distance he remained silent. Emma was about to ask again when she felt a hand connect with her jaw knocking her into a nearby car where she hit her head and lost consciousness
"I'm sorry but it has to be this way" he said to her before heading off to shadow Shalimar

Shalimar moved stealthily through the broken down cars cautiously looking in all directions as she went. She wasn't sure where she was in relation to the new mutant but her feral senses told her she was close. Letting her eyes go feral she picked up a lone figure sitting on car trunk with his head in his hands.
She slowly moved towards the figure but she inadvertently knocked over a car bumper that was strewn in her path. Quickly hiding behind a stack of vehicles she cursed herself for being so careless and hoped that the noise hadn't tipped off the mutant to her presence. After a moment she glanced around the side of the cars to find that the figure was no longer in sight. Once again letting her eyes go feral yellow she searched her surroundings looking for the mutant.
"Damn" she muttered to herself. Suddenly the ground began to shake slightly and if it weren't for her feral reflexes she probably would have crushed by a falling car. As she rolled out of the way she caught sight of the figure as he ran between an adjacent stack of cars. Without giving it a second she took off after him.

Rubbing the sore spot on her jaw, Emma cursed herself for being so stupid as to let herself get sucker punched. Rising from her spot on the ground she dusted herself off and tried to get a hit off Marc and Shalimar. Concentrating hard she was able to get an image of a large red SUV perched on a pole in a large open area. Realizing this must be the center of the junkyard she quickly headed in that direction hoping she wasn't too late.
She was about half way to the center of the junkyard when she ran into Brennan and Jesse
"Whoa Emma slow down" Jesse said as he grabbed her arm to stop her
"Where is Marc?" Brennan asked
"He knocked me out and took off after Shalimar. He is going to sacrifice himself in her place in order to set things right" she replied through heavy breathes
"What do you mean in Shalimar's place?" Brennan asked nervously
"Yeah I thought he didn't see anything when he went to future" added Jesse
"I made him tell me and show me everything. He feels guilty that all this is happening and apparently he set up the whole time travel to the past so you could change it" she said looking to Brennan "He told me that Shalimar was next and that since two people cheated death then two people have to die in order to set things straight. But what I sensed from him before we left sanctuary makes me think what he told me was wrong. That is why we need to find them now"
"Do you know which way he went?" asked Jesse
"I got an image which I think is the center of the junkyard that is where he is headed" she replied
Brennan quickly brought his ring to his mouth "Shal do you read?"
"Yeah what is it?" she whispered back
"Where are you?" he asked
"I am following our new mutant towards the center of the junkyard. Bastard nearly crushed me with a stack of cars" she growled
"Look stay where you are. We are going to come to you"
"What? Why?" she asked in a confused tone
"We'll explain when we get there just stay put please"
"Ok" she replied before cutting the link
"Alright Emma lead the way" Brennan said after the link was closed
The three teammates hurried to Shalimar's location hoping they weren't going to be too late to stop whatever it was that Marc saw which caused him to knock Emma unconscious and take off.
