Adam couldn't get an answer from Brennan.
"Shalimar! Jesse! Get in here now! Brennan needs your help. He just called in and they were attacked by Gabriel. All Brennan said, was that Gabriel got Emma. I haven't been able to get a hold of him."
Shalimar and Jesse entered the room. They looked at Adam with a sense of horror.
"Didn't Gabriel KILL Onika, and now he has Emma? Where's Brennan? We need to get there as fast as possible," Jesse declared as he stared at Adam.
"You can fallow Brennan's tracking device that's in his ring. I'm afraid that I never gave Emma one. I don't know how you will know whether she is alive or dead. We do know that Gabriel has taken over the Genomex headquarters and that it will be near to impossible to get in without being noticed."
Shalimar looked at the map that showed where Brennan was, "We'll find her. If Emma's still alive, we'll know and she will probably do her best to help us."
With that, her and Jesse were off to get Brennan.
They found him knocked out in the Safehouse. Jesse and Shalimar both knelt down beside Brennan and Shalimar slapped the side of his face lightly.
Brennan slowly came to and he rubbed his head. "Morning Sleeping Beauty," Shalimar remarked, trying to lighten the mood.
Brennan tried to get up, "Emma, he has her. I need to find her..."
With that Jesse pushed him back down, "Hold it. You need a few minutes so you can think straight."
Brennan just glared at him, "Back off man. It's my fault that she's gone and I'M gonna be the one to find her."
Brennan got up and started heading for the door. All of a sudden, he stopped.
He saw the Genomex room that he had found Emma in, he saw three mutants guarding something and then he saw hands that were chained up with the person pulling on them.
"She's alive. Emma is being guarded by three mutants and she is chained up. I know where she's at and I think we should get going."
Shalimar and Jesse gave him a strange look.
He didn't need to be a psionic to know that they were wondering how he knew this, "Emma sent me a message, ok? Let's go!"
Jesse and Shalimar both looked at each other, then at Brennan and then they decided that it was time to go.
They left as quickly as they possibly could.
"Ohhhhh, I really hate this place," Emma declared to herself after sending
the message to Brennan.
She looked around at her surroundings for a second time. She saw the three guards fully.
One was a dark-skinned girl who was probably a Telekinetic. The other two were both males, one was playing with a ball of fire and the other froze the fireball.
Emma envisioned the spot where she was with no one there and then sent it to the three mutants.
It worked because when they turned around, they looked like they didn't see anyone. The three mutants ran off very quickly.
This gave Emma time to use her powers and get out of the restraints. She shot the glass with the energy from her hands, it shattered.
She jumped over the glass fragments and ran.
Emma hadn't been running long when she hit someone and fell.
When she looked up, she found that she was staring into the face of Brennan. He held his hand out to her and she took it.
He pulled her up onto her feet, "Oh my god, Brennan. I'm so happy to see you."
He leaned over and gave her a kiss. Just then, a flash went through Emma.
She backed away from him quickly, "You're not Brennan."
"Very good, my little mind bender. I like that about you. Your sister never had the guts to do anything like that. Of course, neither did your Brennan," the image of Brennan faded and Gabriel stood in front of her.
Emma glared at him, "If you've hurt Brennan, I'm going to..."
She couldn't finish what she was saying because Gabriel was behind her and had grabbed a hold of her neck.
"You're very pretty... Intoxicating... you are VERY mistaken if you think that you can threaten me. Your precious Brennan, I'm afraid, is worse off then you are."
Gabriel looked like he could kill someone as he said Brennan's name. He still had his hand around Emma's throat but he wasn't putting any pressure on it.
He turned her around to face him, "You won't be missing him. You should be worried about yourself, but if you are good, then you won't have any problems."
Emma knew that he could tell she was scared. The thing was, she was more scared for Brennan then she was for herself.
Gabriel picked Emma up and carried her away. She had no clue where he was taking her, but she knew that she wouldn't like it.
Gabriel opened a door and went inside. Emma was amazed that the room actually looked like a bedroom instead of one of the others in Genomex.
There was a main king sized bed in the middle of the room. It had a bunch of clothes laid out on it.
Gabriel put Emma down, she glared at him but he just smiled, "Pick one, then change into it. Knock on the door when you're done."
With that, he left. Emma turned around and walked over to the bed. She saw that there were three outfits.
One was a long and flowing, white dress. The second was a skimpy, black dress. The third dress was red. It had spaghetti straps and it was slightly low cut at the front and back. The dress was form fitting and it stopped at about fifteen centimeters above her knees.
She picked the red one and put it on.
Just as she had finished changing, the Telekinetic female that had been guarding her came in, "It's time to go."
Emma put her sandals back on, they had a slight heal with string straps. She got up and fallowed the women.
She was led to Eckhart's old office and she went in. There was no one in the room, so she went over to the glass to look down at the stasis pods.
All the New Mutants that had been in there were now gone and the only person Emma saw in there, was Eckhart.
The doors opened behind her and Gabriel walked in. "You look beautiful. Why are you fighting me? This is for the good of all mutant kind. You could be all powerful and be by my side. We could rule the world together."
Emma turned around and looked at him.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing, "I'm fighting you because it ISN'T for the good of all mutants. How can you ask me to be with you if you don't even know me. You killed my sister and now you expect me to love you? No! I can't love you, I WON'T love you. My heart belongs to one person and only one person."
She was furious, she knew that this monster standing in front of her was mad. There was no other explanation.
Gabriel looked at her and now he was furious, "You may think that I'm a monster but you're wrong. I think that you should know that the man you love is soon to be dead. There will be no one to save you so don't hope for it. You will learn to love me whether you want to or not."
With that, he walked over to her and grabbed her face with both hands. Emma's wings shot out and started to flail.
She was struggling and wasn't getting anywhere. Gabriel stared into her eyes and then a red light shot from them and into Emma's.
He was using one of his powers to make her under his control. Her wings went limp as all this happened.
When the light stopped, he turned to her, "Now, Emma. Let's get ready to welcome Brennan, Jesse and Shalimar."
Emma looked up at him, "Yes, let's."
Brennan was sitting in one of the chairs on the Double Helix. He was
leaning on one arm and was feeling terrible.
Shalimar walked over to him and rubbed his back, "It's not your fault. Emma's a psionic, she knew what she was doing. Brennan, Emma would have killed herself if anything had happened to you."
He looked up at her, "I can't help feeling responsible. I could have done something to stop him..."
Jesse turned around and stared at him, "And if you had, you'd be dead."
Brennan didn't seem to care about that but he sighed and said, "I know."
Brennan looked at the navigational controls for about the fifth time. He jumped out of his seat because they were about to land.
Brennan stopped long enough to turn and tell the others, "Let's get Emma back." With that, he ran out.
Jesse, Shalimar and Brennan were inside Genomex. They hadn't encountered any problems so far but they knew that they weren't out of the fire yet.
The three of them had found the place where Emma had been held but there was no Emma.
Jesse walked around the room, he saw the shattered glass, "Where is she?"
"Right here."
They turned around to find Gabriel standing in the doorway. He moved aside and Emma walked into the room, smiling.
She had on the red dress and her wings were still out.
Shalimar was the one to step forward, "Emma? Are you all right? Did he hurt you? Emma?"
Emma was still smiling as she walked towards them. She embraced Shalimar in a hug and then put her hands on her shoulders, "I'm fine. In fact, I've never been better. I feel free and so can you."
Shaliamr just stared at Emma and looked like she was about to cry.
Emma just looked at Shalimar with care, then she wiped a tear away as it ran down Shalimar's face.
Jesse walked over to her and grabbed her arm, "What has he done to you?"
Jesse had a worried expression on his face. He knew that Emma wasn't under her own control.
Emma looked over at him and just blinked. Gabriel walked over to them. He held out his hand, "Come here."
Emma turned around and took his hand. He pulled her closer to him, placed his hand on her chin and lifted her head towards him.
Then he looked over at Jesse and Shalimar, "Like my new pet? She's fascinating, so strong yet so fragile. Her wings are beautiful as well, just like the rest of her."
As he said this, he stroked Emma's arm. He looked over to where Brennan was standing.
Brennan's face was set in an angry expression. He was furious about what Gabriel had done to Emma. He had taken away her free will.
Gabriel glared at Brennan, "She put up quite a fight, just so you know. I was very angry to find out that she was fighting for all of you. Especially you, Brennan. She's fond of you..."
He growled, "... I don't like that. I hate it when I don't get what I want but of course, that doesn't matter. I got the girl."
Brennan just glared back, "You don't have the girl. You kidnaped her and then used your powers to force her to do what you want. I'm so sure that you can consider that, getting the girl."
Brennan seemed very cocky for someone in his position.
Gabriel looked like he could kill Brennan, "Take them somewhere where I will feel more comfortable. How about one of the stasis pods, no, then he won't be able to suffer."
Gabriel snapped his fingers and a bunch of New Mutants came in and took them away.
"Shalimar! Jesse! Get in here now! Brennan needs your help. He just called in and they were attacked by Gabriel. All Brennan said, was that Gabriel got Emma. I haven't been able to get a hold of him."
Shalimar and Jesse entered the room. They looked at Adam with a sense of horror.
