Chapter 6

"Now you guys the fight between Shalimar and Stacey was violent. Brennan and Mike I'm trusting you too not to shock people or to blow up people." Adam said sternly knowing how protective Mike was of Stacey and how Brennan got when he was in a fight.

They both nodded. Mike was eager to get this over with. He was tired from a sleepless night. Nightmares kept crawling in about his time at the GSA. He thought he was over the fear but it came back every now and then. When he and Stacey escaped it was like being born again.

"Dude you ok?" Brennan asked as he saw a look of fear pass over his face. "I'm not going to beat you that bad."

Mike just nodded blankly. They entered the training room. There was still some blood on the floor from when Shalimar and Stacey fought. Mike glared fighting the anger that boiled inside from Stacey being hurt. Before he had time to get ready Brennan quickly swung in with a roundhouse followed by a jab in the stomach. Mike retaliated elbowing Brennan in the face.

The battle went on for quite some time. Brennan was a better fighter but Mike held his own. Soon Mike began to get tired and frustrated. He punched Brennan in the face attempting to knock him out. Instead he just sliced Brennan's cheek. Blood began to poor. Mike just stood there shocked and then before he could move a bolt of electricity struck him in the chest leaving him winded. He quickly pulled out a card prepared to strike back but another bolt hit him this time stronger and it didn't end like the other. Mike dropped the card and started choking, his lungs felt like they were closed.

Shalimar and Stacey glared into each other's eyes. Shalimar was so pissed off that a little girl without training had whipped her. Emma walked in sensing the tension. She shuddered at the feeling of anger in the room. She pulled out the first aid kit and bandaged Shalimar's lip. Shalimar's eyes glowed yellow at the thought of being pampered and taken care of. Stacey's eyes had taken on a misty haze as if she was lost in her thoughts. She was jolted back to the real world however with a shout. She jumped up holding her sprained wrist and went sprinting to the training room. Emma and Shalimar changed perplexed glances then followed.

Mike fell to the ground with a thud but Brennan still didn't stop. All of the sudden a foot swung out of no where and hit Brennan and threw him off balance. His attacks on Mike stopped. Stacey ran over to Mike and checked his pulse. He was still breathing. A miracle after the attack Brennan pulled on him. She stood up over Mike protectively glaring at Brennan with her golden feral eyes.

"What the hell was that?! You Take out your anger on my best friend!" she shouted.

Jesse picked up Mike and walked to the lab with Emma. Stacey threw one last glare at Brennan and followed. Adam walked up to Brennan with an angry look on his face.

"Did you not hear me say no powers? I know you're mad but do not take it out on the two new mutants Eckhart wants. Are you trying to drive them out right into his arms?"

With that he walked out leaving Shalimar and Brennan alone.
