Author's Note: I can't believe I actually have time to write right after I posted a note saying I didn't have time. Well, I think I have some idea of what to write after talking to my friend. Hopefully it's decent once again.
Author's Note 2: I originally had it up yesterday, but I only used it to replace the Author's Note so you wouldn't know it was there unless you checked. So, I decided to just make it a new chapter this time.

Chapter 12
"Kat, is the coast clear?"
"Yes Vince.. didn't you hear me before?" she said, quite annoyed.
"No I didn't. You're too far away for the communicator to work," Vince stated mater of factly.
"Then how are you hearing me now?" she said with a hint of sarcasm.
"I used my powers of course."
"So now you decide to use your powers?!" Kat was pissed off and annoyed at Vince. In fact, she always had been.
"Well it's the only way to communicate with you isn't it?" he replied mockingly.
"When I get done with you.." Kat started to say when she was interrupted.
"Enough! I can't have you two bickering at each other and ruining the plan," roared Blaine.
The other two automatically became silent.
"Even if you two were bickering mentally, it was broadcasting everywhere. You two give me such a headache!!!"
Both Kat and Vince muttered their apologies and immediately returned to the task at hand.
"Haha.. what would you do now Mutant X?" Blaine thought to himself as the first phase of the plan began.

Adam had gotten up early that morning, not being able to sleep through all that had happened. Besides, his conscience had been bothering him the whole night. He knew he had to tell Shalimar and the others soon. Before they despise him for not telling them when they found out themselves.
Adam walked over to the lab and glanced inside, looking at the couple. Brennan was holding Shalimar close to him and watching as she slept. Adam felt more guilt when he realized that if anything happened to the feral because he didn't tell them her true condition, Brennan wouldn't survive. In fact, the elemental would probably kill him.
Finally gathering up the courage to walk into the lab, he found himself positioned over the scanner. Thinking that another scan would be a good confirmation about the information he's about to release, he decided to run the scanner.
"Brennan, could you please move away from the chair? I need to do another scan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brennan nodded and carefully maneuvered his body so that he could get out of the chair without disturbing Shalimar. Just when he was almost out, the blond stirred. Immediately taking that moment to pull himself out, he placed a small kiss on top of Shal's head. Before he could move away, the woman called out his name ever so softly.
"Bren..."
"It's okay Shal, Adam's just doing a scan. I'll be back by your side before you know it."
The tall elemental moved away just in time. The yellow beam shot down from the device and calculated the amount of damage for Adam.
Brennan moved back to Shalimar's side after the scan was done, just as he had promised he would. He gently stroked the feral's head, still being careful not to hurt her. They were like this, while they waited to see if Adam had something to tell them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking over the scans, Adam cursed softly. It was confirmed that Shalimar needed another operation to repair the injuries that had been missed somehow.
Walking over to the two oldest mutants, he said.
"I.. I have something to tell you guys."
"What is it Adam? Is there something wrong with Shal?" Brennan immediately asked. He pulled Shalimar closer to him as he feared for the worst.
"Well.." Adam replied, hesitant.
"Adam, please just tell us and knock it off with the suspense," Shalimar said softly.
"It's just that.."
"Adam!"
Jesse had burst into the lab before Adam could tell them.
"What is it Jesse?"
"NexGen.. they've struck a mall!"
"Okay, I want you, Emma and Brennan to go stop them. And remember, be careful and no personal revenge, at least not this time," he said the last part especially directed at Brennan, seeing as rage filled his eyes at the mention of NexGen.
Brennan didn't give a reply, since he couldn't promise that he wouldn't beat the crap out of Blaine, or fry the enemy. He reassured Shalimar that he would be all right, after persuading her that she was too weak to fight as of that moment. Kissing her, he left for the Helix where Jesse and Emma were already waiting for him.

That's it! It should at least cheer you up a bit after I said I didn't have time to post. Don't forget to R&R! =)
