*Sanctuary*
The young mans chance was there and gone in an instant. Now Shalimar may never know how he feels about her. The minute they stepped into Sanctuary everyone took off their tortured soul suites and put on their super-hero costumes, for now was not the time for self-pity and doubt.
Adam resumed his position as the leader, "Jesse I want you to track down Emma and Brennan, we need them back here ASAP."
"I'm on it." Jesse turned and headed towards the computers
"Shal, I'm going to need your help in the lab."
Entering the lab Adam gave his directions to Shalimar. "Once I get this blood analyzed I need you to check the database for our friend."
While Shal and Adam patiently worked on revealing the identity of their mystery man, Jesse was having difficulties locating the positions of his other two-team mates.
"Brennan." No answer
"Brennan are you there? Emma?" Getting no response Jesse tried to locate the signal of their com links from over the computer.
"That's strange." He whispered to himself
"Adam"
"Yeah, Jesse."
"I found Brennan and Emma, but I think we have a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"Well if I'm reading this right, their com link signal shows that they've stopped-"
"So what does that mean?" Shal jumped in
"According to the geographical maps, they've stopped," he paused before continuing, "under ground!"
"What? There has to be a glitch in the computer system. There's nothing up there-is there Adam?" Before Adam could respond all the electronically devices blew causing the lights to go out and all the doors to slam shut.
"Adam what's going on?" Shal replied running over to the lab door
"Why won't these doors open?"
"The shortage must have caused a malfunction in the security lockdown. Don't worry the back up generators should kick on in a couple of minutes."
"Jesse."
"Jesse are you alright? Jesse!"
"Adam, something's wrong. We have to find him."
*Underground*
"ECKHART!"
"It's so nice to hear from you again. I'm sorry it had to be under these circumstances."
"What do you want?"
"What I've always wanted-Mutant X."
"Where's Emma?"
"Miss Delauro is in," he paused, "good hands." Brennan tightened his grip around the com link.
"I want to talk to her."
"I'm afraid that's not possible, she's a little," Eckhart chuckled, "tied up at the time."
"How do I know she's still alive?" There was no response
"This conversations is over with." Brennan said pulling some reverse psychology.
"Hello Brennan." Another male voice calmly spoke
"Who is this?"
"Oh come on old buddy, pal. You don't remember your best friend?" Brennan said nothing
"Think Sparks."
~Sparks! Only one person ever called me Sparks~
"Nathan?"
"Ding ding ding we have a winner, tell him what he won Eckhart-"
"This is no time for games Mr. Taylor."
"You stay away from h-"
"Now, now Mr. Mulwray. Why don't you two take this trip down memory lane another time? For time itself is of great importance."
"You have until sunrise to bring me Miss Fox and Mr. Kilmartin. If you fail, I will leave Miss. Delauro's punishment up to Mr. Taylor."
"Eckhart! ECKHART!" Brennan turned and punched the wall causing his knuckles to bleed.
