Chapter 14
Brennan felt energy surge through him as his rage got the better of him. If anything happened to Shalimar, he thought, I'll make him pay right now. With that, he threw punch after punch, kick after kick at Blaine. He couldn't use his powers until the fight was moved somewhere farther from water.
Blaine, who had kept up with the other elemental's attacks, was started to falter. Although quite a few blows were missed because of Brennan's rage, there were also quite of blows that landed.
After Brennan's onslaught, there wasn't much of Blaine left, but the fire elemental refused to give up. It seemed obvious that Blaine underestimated Brennan, but he still had a few tricks up his sleeve. The main thing was driving the Mutant X member over the edge so that he wouldn't think clearly before taking action.
"You know, it's such a shame my friend Vince let you guys get away. I was planning to make you suffer much more when I find and recapture the girls. You know what I was planning to do to your precious Shalimar?"
Not wanting to hear the answer, since he had a pretty good idea of what it was, he charged Blaine, but quickly stopped as he heard something in the back of his mind. Whatever the noise had been, it had saved him for plummeting into the fountain and giving Blaine the advantage. Smiling as he realized Shalimar had been with him through some sort of link, he quickly charged up and released it as he turned around.
Blaine was hit in the chest and the force was so great that it pushed him about ten feet back. The last thought he had was pain and how Mulwray was smarter than he thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brennan looked satisfied as he saw Blaine make impact with the brick wall. Whether the enemy was dead or not, he didn't care since he knew he had to get back to Sanctuary as fast as he could. Looking over to call to his friends, he found victory both times. They all walked over to each other and Brennan said quickly.
"We've got to get back to Sanctuary now!!!"
"But what about them?" said Jesse, gesturing to the fallen team.
"I don't care anymore, leave them to the police or something."
"Why the sudden change Bren?"
"We've got to get back to Shalimar."
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know.. I just got a bad feeling and was somehow connected with her."
Emma who had been silent, spoke up.
"I know.. I felt something too."
Jesse looked at both of them and yelled.
"Then what are we waiting for?!"
With that, they all scrambled into the Helix and flew as fast as they could; each praying that everything was all right and they were mistaken.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shalimar was stuck in the dream world, but she wasn't complaining. It was like nothing mattered there and besides, it was an escape from all the pain. Turning around in that place, she suddenly saw some sort of scene. There was a fight and she could see.. who was that.. Brennan?! And Blaine. She shuddered and felt a surge of anger as she identified her torturer. She could see how enraged Brennan was and knew that this would cause problems. Brennan never thought about what he was doing whenever he was mad.
Shalimar watched Blaine and saw that he had knowledge of that being Brennan's weakness. She heard what Blaine said and felt her feral side rising up and wanting to kill that son of a bitch, but her human side saw Brennan charge at Blaine and the fountain that was behind her enemy.
"Brennan!!!" she called, knowing it was useless. Before she could see Brennan's fate, the place was once again dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adam sighed with relief. He had been working on Shalimar and hadn't heard from the team for hours. It's a wonder they could keep up that long a fight, he thought. Then he worried, oh no, something better not have happened. He didn't know who he was more worried about, the team he sent out or the one that's currently recovering.
He sighed again. He was glad the feral had pulled through and the operation had gone smoothly. It had been hard not having Emma around to help, but he had been determined to help the mutant.
It appeared that the problem had been her ribs not being properly healed, which was a rare circumstance. He had wondered why he didn't properly heal them and decided that he needed to analyze the scanner for not picking up a small crack on her ribs. Apparently the crack had worsened and became a fracture and soon altered her ribs so that they were poking into the feral's stomach, which was extremely sensitive considering she was still recovering from it being very bruised. That had led to severe internal bleeding and forced Adam to work until he felt completely drained.
He was still thinking when he heard the Helix land. Hoping it would be his team and not unwelcome guests, he walked out of the lab and to his relief, it was his team.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing Adam, Brennan swiftly ran to him with Jesse and Emma following close behind.
"Is Shal okay?!"
Adam was a little surprised at Brennan asking that, after all, he wasn't supposed to know. Then he figured it must have been Emma who picked up on the intensified atmosphere within Sanctuary.
"Yes, she's going to be fine," said the leader as he tried to calm his "children" down.
Brennan was still very anxious; he had to see for himself that she was safe.
"Can I see her?"
"She's resting right now, but you could see her right after I explain what happened to her, since I know you're all curious about it," Adam had said this after he gave it some thought.
Brennan hesitated. He really wanted to be by Shalimar's side, but he finally relented.
"Okay, fine."
"Okay, then let's take a seat."

The fic's coming to an end. Maybe one chapter left. Or two, depends on what I think of. Please remember to R&R! =)
