Brennan woke up in the med lab. "What happened?" he rubbed his head

and then looked over at Adam. "Well, for starters, you stopped Emma but you

accomplished it in a very peculiar way. It turns out that when you kissed Emma, you

released one of her subdued powers. In turn, this enabled her, without knowing it,

to amp up your mutant abilities." Brennan tried his electricity and he didn't even

need to charge up. A look of amazement swept across his face. "It also gave you a

new ability, but she was only able to do this to you because she loves you." Brennan

looked up at him, "What new power?" "Well, now you can heal people as well as

shoot electricity and the propulsion." Brennan looked at his hands, "How's Emma?"

"Tired of waking up in this place," Adam and Brennan both looked over to see Emma

sitting up on one of the tables that they could pull out of the wall. She looked tired

but she just smiled at them, "Sorry about what happened Adam. I wasn't thinking

straight, is Shalimar and Jesse ok?" Adam walked over to her and rubbed her arm,

"Shalimar is fine and so is Jesse, thanks to you." It was obvious that Emma was

thinking that they would've been better if it wasn't for her. Adam walked over to the

computer and then looked back at the two of them, "You two will be fine after some

sleep. Emma, we have a room for you now. It's right beside Brennan's and YOU

have a door again," as he said this, he looked at Brennan and pointed to him with a

pen. "Now get out of here."

Emma was lying in bed feeling terrible. She knew that she could have

really hurt Shalimar, Jesse or Brennan and she couldn't sleep because of it. Shalimar

was kind enough to lend her something to sleep in. She was wearing a pair of red

shorts and a black tank top. She couldn't get any more sleep so she got out of bed

and headed for the door. She opened it as quietly as she could. All the lights were

off except the ones that surrounded the pond and they were very dim. She walked

quietly to the edge of the pond and lay down on her side. "I could have killed them

all today," she told Adam as he came up behind her. She had only known he was

there because of her feral instincts. He sat down beside her, "I know that you could

have but you wouldn't have done it. You care about all of us, you showed that when

you asked Shalimar to forgive you and when you healed Jesse's bleeding cut on his

forehead. It showed that you knew that you were powerful enough to kill them but

you wouldn't. You were just in pain because you lost your sister." Emma didn't

answer him, she just lay there with her arm hanging off the edge and her fingertips

in the water. Adam left and she was all alone. Emma knew that she couldn't kill

Gabriel but she also knew that she wouldn't let any of the others die either. She did

care about all of them but she didn't want to lose any of them because of her. "I will

not let him kill anyone else," she promised herself out loud.

Brennan woke up with a start. He had no clue why but he decided to

change and go out to see what was happening. He was wearing jeans and his black,

silky shirt. He stepped out of his room and Shalimar almost hit him but he ducked in

time. "Will you PLEASE STOP DOING THAT!" Shalimar just motioned him to be quiet

and then pointed towards the pond. Brennan saw Emma lying beside the pond with

one arm hanging over the edge and the tips of her fingers were in the water, "Is she

asleep?" Shalimar smiled slightly, "Yes, Adam said that she was there last night

when he talked to her. He told me that she feels responsible for Onika's death and

that she feels terrible about yesterday because she could have killed us. But she

didn't kill us so everything is all right. I heard her last night, she just tossed and

turned and didn't get any sleep. I think she fell asleep a little while after Adam left

her. She looks so peaceful lying there. I feel sorry for her and I wouldn't want to

feel the turmoil that she feels." Shalimar's face had a look of pity on it. Brennan

walked over to where Emma was lying down. She looked at ease and that made him

feel better. He sat down beside her and stroked her hair. She didn't move or make

any sound that would mean that she was awake. Brennan felt bad about what had

happened the other day and he was planning on making up for it. Just then, Emma

rolled over with a moan. Her eyes opened slightly and then she blinked a few times.

She looked confused and started to speak when Brennan stopped her. "Good

morning. How's the water?" Emma laughed and then stared up at him, "Nice but

this is the first time I've woken up with a hot guy smiling down at me." They both

laughed and then Jesse charged over. He looked kinda annoyed but he was smiling,

"What's this about the two of you going out to eat ice cream without me?" Emma

looked at him, "Jesse, I'll buy you an entire thing of ice cream and I'll bring it back

here." Jesse looked at her with a strange look and then said, "Ok." with a small

smile. With that, he left. Brennan stared down at her, "Who told him that and how

did you find out?" Emma smiled and looked into his eyes, "He found your planning

thing in your room and I picked up the image from him." Brennan got up and picked

her up, "You cheat. Let's go." "I kinda have to change first." He looked at her face,

with a big smile he asked, "Do you?"

Brennan and Emma were in one of Mutant X's Safehouses. Emma had

changed into a black skirt that had a slit on the right side that went thirty centimeters

above her knee. She had on a shimmering red shirt that went across her shoulders

in a straight line. It showed her shoulders and was short sleeved. Brennan thought

that she looked very sexy in this. Emma had used her powers to get Jesse a tin of

Rollo ice cream for free. When Brennan had asked what she did, all she had said in

return was, do what? They had just finished eating their ice cream and were

cuddling when Gabriel barged in. They both looked up and then Brennan put himself

between Emma and Gabriel. "Do you really think that you can stop me from seeing

her?" Gabriel told him with a smile. Emma moved Brennan aside and Gabriel's

expression changed from cocky to shocked. "You killed my sister, not me. I can

promise you that you're going to pay for what you've done," Emma looked at him as

her eyes started to glow green. Gabriel started to smile again. He looked from

Emma to Brennan and back again, "You're a feral. How wonderful, nice to see YOU

again. I hope this time won't end up like our first encounter...for you." He was now

glaring at Brennan. Brennan just laughed, "Trust me...it won't. I have a few new

surprises for you." Emma didn't like what Gabriel was thinking, "If you even so much

as touch him, I'll kill you. I can assure you that you have never faced anyone like me

before." Gabriel's gaze went back to Emma, "So, you're a psionic as well. This is

getting better and better. I can assure you that I can handle an electric and a

psionic feral. There is nothing new about that." With that, he jumped off of the

stairs and landed two feet in front of them. Brennan shot electricity at him but he

blocked it. Gabriel shot a bolt of energy at Brennan and sent him flying into a wall.

Brennan was hurt badly and Gabriel knew this. Emma ran over to him and placed

him on her lap. The balls of energy on her palms started to glow and then she

placed one on the middle of his forehead. Brennan's entire body started to glow and

then it just stopped. He opened his eyes and looked up at her, "I guess it's my turn

to wake up to a gorgeous girl looking down at me." With that, he got up and Emma

stood then turned towards Gabriel. She shot blasts at him from her hands and

forehead. Gabriel tried to block it but he couldn't so he jumped out of the way.

"Maybe there are a few surprises. You're healing aspect would be very useful in our

cause. You are also unusually strong. Stronger then your sister was." When

Gabriel had finished saying that, Emma physically attacked him. She jumped at him

but he sent her flying into the air. Her wings shot out of her back and she stayed in

that spot, in the air. "You leave my sister out of this!" she screamed as she landed

beside Brennan. Gabriel just stared at her wings. "That's impossible. There was

never a successful Ave. I've gone through all of Genomex's files," a look of

recognition swept across his face. "I remember you now. I watched one of Ekart's

last entries and it was of a torture. He called you Miss. deLauro. That was an

interesting video. It also showed how you escaped, you were willing to die for your

sister. Of course, Brennan over there was the one who got you out." Brennan and

Emma weren't shocked that he knew Brennan's name. Gabriel was a Telepathic.

Brennan and Emma looked at each other, Emma was sending him a message.

Gabriel just started laughing, "How sweet. You love each other, oh well. I came

here for one thing and I always get what I want." He snapped his fingers and

another mutant came in. She was the one that Brennan had encountered the first

time. She walked down the stairs and did the same thing as last time, she put up a

barrier of fire. Emma took off and went over the fire. She was high enough in the

air that she didn't burn her wings. When she landed, the girl swung at her but Emma

used her wings to hit her out of the way. Her wings retracted back into her back.

Before the fire mutant could get the information from the computer, Emma blasted it

and then it was destroyed. Emma ran back to Brennan when she collapsed. Gabriel

had done something to her when he touched her because he was right behind her.

Gabriel caught Emma in his arms as she fell. "EMMA!" Brennan yelled as he charged

Gabriel. Gabriel stuck out his hand and sent Brennan flying, "As I said, I always get

what I want." With that, he left with Emma in his arms and the other mutant behind

him. Brennan contacted Adam with his ring, "Adam, Gabriel got Emma." With that,

he blacked out. "Brennan? Brennan!"
