Daniel glanced at the small paper cup and it's clear contents. The water was hot and tasted like a million chemicals had been poured into it to make it clean for the hospital patients. He didn't like it. He glanced over and saw Alexis smile at him from the corner. Daniel quickly looked away, hopeful that she wouldn't recognize the guilt that he was feeling. The entire situation was his fault, and now it was up to him to fix things. The only problem was, he had no clue as to what to do. Shalimar was unconscious in the hospital bed in front of them and he was fearful that, at any moment, someone could come in and try to take her. The saddest part was that he may not be able to save Shalimar and Alexis at the same time.

Alexis broke the connection from the computer and looked at Daniel. The way his eyes glanced down to the ground told her of his excessive guilt. She turned to look at Shalimar and almost started to cry. "Will her feral abilities help her heal faster?" Daniel raised his shoulders, "I have no idea. You were the one in the database, wasn't there a note or something?" Alexis shook her head, "Not that I found, but the database was huge. There could have been notes all over the place." Alexis walked towards Daniel and glanced at the water. "Come on, let's go and get something to eat. Shalimar will be fine until we get back." Daniel shook his head. "No thanks, but you should go. I'll stay here until you get back." Alexis looked at Daniel and shook her head. "If you blame yourself like this, you aren't going to be any help. All you're doing is wasting our time." Alexis looked away from him, fearful of the emotions that were converging inside of him. She walked out of the room and entered the elevator. It took her a few seconds to realize that she had somehow managed to enter into a locked elevator, but she didn't want to connect with it. She wanted to sleep.

Emma touched the back of her neck and nearly smiled. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and even though her friends weren't in the room with her, she could sense them. A subdermal governor hadn't been implanted, and she couldn't be more thankful. She looked around the room and didn't see a door. After looking up and down the walls and over the floor and the ceiling, she wasn't able to find a way out. "Figures," she said quietly to herself. Shaking her head, she leaned back against the wall and relaxed her mind. If she wasn't able to escape, maybe she'd be able to connect with her friends. Her breathing slowed slightly and her mind relaxed. Her senses seemed to jump into overdrive and her mind overloaded with senses as emotions pounded into her. She sensed Jesse right away, meaning that he was probably the closest. After expanding herself, she found Brennan and Adam, but Shalimar wasn't there. Either she hadn't been captured, or she was being held somewhere else. The others seemed to be relaxed and calm, probably in the same situation she was in. Then, a darker presence caught her attention. It was a woman and she had no clue how to hide her emotions. Her anger and hatred were propelled like a rocket shooting in all directions. Emma probably would have been able to sense her without trying. The only thing that was bothering her, was that the woman was coming towards her. She looked to her ring and saw her comlink on her finger. She prayed that it was still active, "Jesse, Brennan. Adam, can you guys hear me?" She waited patiently for a moment and then when she started to give up, a voice came through." "Emma, is that you?" Emma smiled, "Yeah, it's me Jesse. Are Brennan and Adam with you?" Jesse's voice responded quickly, "No, I haven't seen them, but I can't phase through the wall. There's some kind of electrical field on them. I wouldn't recommend you using a psionic blast, it might come back to you." Emma sighed, "Brennan could deactivate it. I sense him and Adam here somewhere, and they aren't hurt. I can't talk long Jesse." She looked at the wall, curious as to how the woman would get in. "I sense someone coming for me, a woman. Try to contact the others." Emma looked around as chills ran up her spine. The feeling of someone watching her washed over her as a small section of the wall became transparent. A red-headed woman glared at her through a pair of silver glasses that barely covered her eyes. "Miss deLauro. Welcome to the Stalenhoren Institute." Emma looked at her curiously, "Institute. I'm not some kind of freak." The woman smiled, "Of course you are Emma, we all are. I myself can change the physical properties of objects." Emma nodded, as if she understood. "That's why there isn't a door, you can create one. That must mean that you don't have much of a staff." The woman smiled, "That's correct. I am aided by a few fellow doctors, none of which are your concern. You and your friends are under my field of expertise." Emma looked at her, "Which would be?" The woman smiled to herself and then looked directly into Emma's eyes. "Hypnosis. You see, I'm going to train you to kill your friends." Emma's senses overloaded. She didn't bother with a psionic blast, she was already connected. Emma watched as the woman's veins began to become apparent through her skin. The woman's face changed to fear and pain as Emma projected tons of emotions. The woman stepped backwards and waved her hand, causing a piece of the wall behind her to erupt foreword. An arm made out of the wall pulled her back, breaking the connection. The woman glared at her, "Don't tempt me to kill your other friends Emma, believe it or not, you're winning. You'll have 3 friends left." Emma glared at her, "It doesn't work like that, you probably wouldn't understand since you're so anti-social." The woman glared at her and twisted her hand. The arm grew tighter and extended to cover her from the bottom of her neck to the knees. The transparent walls turned back to normal quickly. Emma glared at the hands and within seconds the vanished, allowing her to move around freely. One thing was definitely for sure, she was going to have a hard time with that woman.

Alexis walked out of the elevator that led to the Lobby. She was on her way to get a cup of coffee in the cafeteria. The cafeteria was connected with the Lobby and ER entrance for quick access, but as soon as she got close, she decided she wasn't very thirsty. Two GSA agents entered the front door and looked around. Alexis ducked behind a revolving card rack in the gift shop next to her, hopeful that they hadn't spotted her. Her eyes activated quickly and within a few seconds her voice was magically connected to the room. "Daniel, we have two agents on the way. Probably more on the way too!" Daniel looked around and then sighed, "Trap them in an elevator or something, signal an alarm and trick the guards into thinking they're a risk to the patients. Then get up here and help me."

Stopping patiently, the guards walked into the elevator as the doors opened. Alexis smiled as she realized that no one was inside except them, and then her brain went to work. Close Doors. Select all floors. Delete Access Controls. The doors of the elevator closed a little quicker than usual. In a few seconds she disconnected from the system, satisfied that her plan would work. Her head began to hurt, and she quickly ran up the stairs to the 4th floor. She had to get to Shalimar and Daniel quickly, or else she could loose them too. She opened the door quickly and noticed that Daniel was standing in the doorway with Shalimar in a wheelchair. He saw her running towards him and motioned for her to hurry. "Come on, we need to get to a safe place." Alexis pushed the wheelchair allowing Daniel to provide an illusion for their protection. Daniel waved his hand and a man appeared with a mop in his hand. A bucket appeared next to him and as soon as they passed, he began to mop the floor. "My illusions don't seem to last very long without me being able to see them," Daniel said as they reached an end of a hallway. Alexis looked at Shalimar as Daniel hit the button to close the doors of the elevator which they stepped into. "Daniel, does she look healthier to you?" Daniel looked at Shalimar and seemed to think hard. "Yeah, she does," He said finally. Sparkles erupted from her mind as a familiar stream spread across her mind. Her subconscious picked up on it and began to read it quickly. "They've activated a silent alarm, an escaped patient. They're trying to lock down the hospital." Shaking his head, Daniel paced around. "Can we get out with an illusion?" Alexis shook her head. "They have camera's, since you can't fool a camera, I'm thinking that it won't be possible." Daniel looked at Shalimar and sighed. "We can't leave her here. We'll take her to the Double Helix and set it to take her back. When she wakes up, she'll know that something happened and hopefully find us. We'll stay in one of the safehouses." Alexis nodded and then looked at the doors. With a glance the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Three GSA agents ran towards them from a corner as soon as they were spotted. Daniel didn't bother to hide his abilities, it was too important to escape. He threw his hand into the air quickly and illusions of rocks flew foreword. Alexis looked to the ceiling and the lights erupted in sparkles. She smiled happily and pushed Shalimar out of the doors as Daniel followed her. Guns were pointed at them but Alexis smiled. She sent out a signal to the computer systems inside of them. As soon as they tried to fire them, they guns were useless. Alexis looked at Daniel and then uncloaked the Double Helix. The hatch opened up and Shalimar was loaded in quickly. Daniel waved his hand and a brick wall separated the agents from them. "Program the Double Helix to take her to Sanctuary and give her a big hint about where we'll be." Alexis placed her hand on the computer system and tried to focus her eyes. Sparkles flew from her eyes, but dimmer than usual. The Double Helix rocked and Daniel fell backwards, hitting his head on a piece of machinery. Alexis programmed the system and then noticed Daniel. He was unconscious, but healthy. Alexis thought for a moment, and finally decided to leave Daniel. She had no choice, she couldn't have taken him back into the danger with the agents. Alexis quickly ran off of the Double Helix and then sent the signal for her program to work. The Double Helix lifted into the air with a loud sound and flew off as it cloaked. Alexis glanced at the agents staring at her with the guns. Destruct! The guns erupted in the arms of the people that were holding them. Sparks flew everywhere and the guns were thrown away from the people to protect themselves. Alexis took advantage of the commotion and ran to escape, unsure if everything would actually work out.

"Emma, I've contacted Brennan. We haven't been able to talk to Adam." Emma sighed, "I know he's here. We're going to have to figure out how to get out of here, does Brennan have any ideas?" Jesse's voice responded slowly, "Not any that aren't dangerous." Emma sensed Jesse's emotions and knew that he thought it was a good idea, but a bad one at the same time. "What is he thinking?" "He wants to project electricity in all directions. The problem is that there are probably water pipes around him, he had a sink in his cell." Emma nodded, "They figured he wouldn't try anything if there was water around him. It must also mean that the way out has something to do with those pipes." Emma paced around her cell and expanded her mind for the woman. She couldn't sense her, but figured that she was would only be a few minutes away. "Jesse, tell Brennan to do it. Try to phase out of the room when you think he's done it." Jesse's voice came back quickly, "What are you going to do?" Emma glared at the wall and a psionic blast erupted from her mind. "I'm going to hypnotize the hypnotist." The psionic blast flew from her mind and hit the wall. The blast bounced around and accelerated so fast that she was unable to follow it. The blast circled around the room, denting it with so much force that a small hole appeared. The blast propelled through the hole and expanded in size. Emma closed her eyes and fell to the floor. She leaned against the wall and connected with the blast, guiding it from where she was. She had only done it one time before, but if it worked, they would be able to escape. As soon as the blast reached the outside room, Emma sensed the woman. The blast flew towards her quickly.

The woman pushed up her glasses and looked at the scientists. "Mulwray has started to project high levels of electricity. Mr. Kilmartin has started to phase out of his cell, and Miss deLauro has propelled a psionic blast out of her cell." The woman grew angry and thought for a moment. "They're trying to escape. Secure all of the levels. Is the blast searching for one of her friends?" "We can't detect it, we have no idea. Dr. Mordoc, we need to abandon this project for now." Mordoc grew angry and then spun around. The psionic blast connected with her forehead and sent her flying backwards. The two scientists looked at her and then at each other. "It's time to evacuate, let's get out of here." Mordoc walked over to a computer terminal and pressed a button. "Doctor, you've released the cell doors!" The woman turned at the doctor and hit him to the ground. "Do I look like an idiot! I know what I'm doing. It's going to take more than a psionic to attempt to control me."
