Chapter 7
Brennan just stood there glaring at the door. His cheek was bleeding from the cut Mike gave him. Shalimar looked at him. He didn't even notice she was there.
"Brennan. . .?"
Brennan gave a start when he heard his name. He looked and saw Shal looking up at him with concern written in her eyes.
"What?"
"Look I know you're upset about this whole thing with Stace but you can't take it out on her friend. That will just make her hate you more. Brennan I wont deny that I'm worried. Mike has an immense new mutant ability and Stacey she is as strong as me and faster then me. And her powers aren't even full yet. If you drive one away the other will follow. Look please don't do this to her. Don't give her back to the hands of the GSA. Brennan I know you need some good in your life right now. And I'm hoping this news will help. Brennan that kiss we shared was. . .there's no word to describe it. Brennan I don't want outside life to interfere with work but you're different. Brennan I love you"
Brennan looked shocked. Then Shalimar gently kissed him on the lips then left to the lab.

In the lab Stacey stood silently with an unreadable expression on her face. She stood looking over Mike. Emma for once could not get a reading from her. She could usually get one from anyone if she wanted. As if her feral senses sensed someone probing her mind, Stacey looked up and stared at Emma. Then a groan distracted her and she looked at Mike with concern. Adam rushed over and whispered some things to Jesse. At that moment Shalimar walked in.
"How is he?" she asked with concern.
"He'll live but Brennan did some damage. Luckily Brennan didn't have the killer charge on." Adam replied.
"This is my fault" Stacey said.
"No it's not. Why would you think that" Jesse said in surprised.
"He took out his frustration and anger about me out on Mike." Stacey shook her head then ran out of the lab into the garage. A few seconds later they heard Shalimar's bike gear up then fade into the distance. Shalimar's eyes widened and she ran into the garage. A few seconds later she came back and was glaring.
"She took my bike. Man I for her sake she had better know how to ride it"
"She does"
They all looked at the door. Brennan was standing there.
"Our Dad took us for rides on his bike. When they died I took the bike and trained her to ride it. She rides it better then me"
While Shalimar looked relieved at the news, she still looked uneasy. It was silent until Adam spoke up.
"Jesse, Brennan, Shalimar get the Double Helix. The bike has a tracking device in it and we have to get to her before the GSA does. Emma you stay here with me and help me with Mike."
Everyone nodded and went off to do their thing.
