"Come on Jesse, you were two seconds away from getting your head bashed in"
A defiant look from Jesse and Brennan just couldn't help but bait him a little more "I mean Adam could have taken that guy"
"Thanks for the vote of confidence" Adam's voice rang back from behind them.
"No problem, I mean what else are we here for?" Brennan called back; a glance behind him revealed both Shalimar and Adam grinning like fools. An answering smile in return "I mean its not like we do anything important, like keeping New Mutants from extinction in stasis pods from a psychotic white haired, germ fearing madman" A brief pause for effect and then "Oh wait.we do"
It brought a laugh from all of them.
Brennan and Jesse where in the lead, with Adam and Shalimar trailing just a little behind them, huddled together, discussing something. Probable who to set Jesse up with next, that always seemed to turn out interesting no matter who the girl was.
Entering the inner sanctum of Sanctuary Brennan was still a little taken back by it all despite all the time that he'd spent there, the computers, the main frame to his right containing all that wonderful information on every new mutant in existence. Adam's lab to his left and the training facilities and basic lounging area directly ahead, it was still all as incredible as the first time he saw it.
"Hey Emma?" Jesse called out, "Guy's shouldn't Emma be here somewhere?"
A simple statement from the feral among the group sent them all into battle mode "There's blood on the floor". Swivelling around to face her he watched as she Crouched down, hair dangling over her face, dabbing her fingers on the floor she raised them to her nose and sniffed, eyes flashing with her feral nature she let out a low growl and shot off the ground, virtually flying up to perch on a platform on the wall.
"Its Emma's" She stated
The group splintered, Brennan moving in the lab's direction, rolling his hands to create a charge between them whilst Jesse phased through one of the walls so that he could lurk unseen. Shalimar stayed more or less perched a few meters above everyone else, scanning the room like a predator hunting for her prey.

Jenna watched from the shadows, having retreated to them from the stairs as she saw Mutant X enter the inner sanctum of their 'Sanctuary', that made her smile. The very name of it was amusing for it was soon to become anything but that.
It was almost time for her to initiate phase one, she could see that Brennan's charge had become vibrant blue and she could hear the crackle of the energy even from where she was, he'd amped up the voltage, bad for him since he didn't yet have a target, but very good for them.
A slight motion of her hand and she felt the adrenalin rush as she watched in anticipation, her breathing getting just a little heavier as a stream of water jetted towards him, it happened so fast he never even saw it coming until it struck him with enough force to through him back against a wall, his own electrical energy being turned into him as he screamed.
His own current burning him, he collapsed in a fit, the screams only cutting off as he lost consciousness, even then his body still putting off the odd jerk now and then.
She watched as Shalimar leapt from her position to go to Brennan's aide. Rash and decisive, just as their research had shown, thermal energy exploded in her path. She hit the ground and before she could get her feet back flames exploded around her, the feral's instinctual fear of fire sent her reeling back, also flash blinded from the sudden explosion of the flame.
It was almost too easy, almost not worth it. The key word there, almost.
A flash of silver struck little old Shalimar and she dropped to her knee's as the dart began to pump its cocktail into her. She looked towards Adam and tried to get some words out, warning or apology Jenna couldn't tell and didn't really care, it was all just so...heart felt and pathetic. She almost wanted to cry from the sadness of it all.
She turned her attention back to Adam, standing all on his lonesome as his feral finished collapsing and his elemental lay smouldering.
Three little soldiers down, and only one to go. She couldn't wait to see what the legendary Adam would do now.
