"Go get some sleep." Said Adam to Brennan as he watched him pace back and
forth the length of the med-lab frustrated, "there isn't anything you can
do at the moment." He said trying to convince him to go sounding as
frustrated as Brennan looked. He couldn't understand why this was
happening. He had looked into dreams when Jesse had initially told him
about it but wasn't quite as worried about it as everyone had realistic
dreams at some time in their life. "No I'm staying here." Insisted Brennan
as he finally sat down and watched the screens. As he did so he began
tapping his fingers on the table in front of him letting sparks fly across
his fingertips. "If you don't stop that you may interrupt the computer."
Spoke up Jean who had been checking Mia and Jesse's sensors making sure
they were fine. She walked back over the Brennan, "they aren't even at the
dream stage of their sleep yet. Nothing can be made of the scans yet." She
said also trying to convince him to go to bed. "I'm not going anywhere
until they wake up." Insisted Brennan as he stopped tapping the table and
instead crossed his arms with a determined looked which told the others not
to try and convince him anymore. Both Jesse and Mia slowly drifted into the
dream state as they slept causing the others to become very apprehensive.
The dream that both Mia and Jesse began to have proceeded just as the other
dreams had. Out side in the Med-lab the readings that showed on the
computer screens baffled all the people watching them. Both Mia and Jesse's
bodies were completely normal except for the fact they were completely in
sync.
From the exact same heart beat and pulse to their brain waves. Exactly the same from head to toe and no one could explain it; it was if their dreams, which were the same to the very last detail, had the exact same effect on their physical bodies. What baffled the group the most was that neither Jesse nor Mia was using their powers, which showed that they were not the ones causing the dreams. In the dream it unfolded exactly the same as previous dreams. It wasn't until the point where the two usually woke did it become different. In their minds Mia lay contently in Jesse's warm arms for a moment savoring his touch when two men who had in no way disguised themselves burst into the room and grabbed Mia pulling her way from Jesse and out of the room. At the exact moment that Mia left the room in the dream Jesse woke up from the dream and the computer screen showed that Mia's heart rate had gone ecstatic. Adam rushed to Jesse wondering what had gone wrong, had their interference in the dreams caused something to go wrong. was this his fault? He thought as he reached Jesse who began to sit up and look over to Mia whose body was physically tensing up her hands gripping the handles of the med-lab chair until her knuckles were white. "What happened?" Adam asked worry showing in his voice. "Ashlocke burst in with another guy and they grabbed her and dragged her out," explained Jesse still watching Mia wondering what was happening to her.
"Who was this other guy?" asked Brennan as he too rushed over to Jesse wanting to find out as much as he could about what might be happening to Mia. "I've never seen him before, and he had white blonde hair slicked back. Tall that's it I only saw him for a second." Jesse said as he shook his head as if to clear it. "Is there any way we can see what she is seeing?" Asked Prof Xavier unfamiliar to the system in Sanctuary. Adam walked back to the computers with Jesse and Brennan in hot pursuit. He brought up the information on Mia's readings as he also tapped into the actual dream she was having but tapping into the dream part of her mind. The picture came up on the screen and all five people gathered around to watch what was happening. Mia was in a white padded room with ragged clothes on. She banged onto the wall in frustration and tried to use her power to produce flame from her fingertips but all she got was a tiny spark and a whole lot of pain. She collapsed to the floor just as the door opened and the white haired man Jesse had described came into the room. Looking down on her with a small smirk on her face he spoke, his voice full of malice, "Nice to see you again Mia, I activated the chip dear old dad put in that twisted brain or yours."
He said this as he produced a small electoral controller, Mia looked up at him frightened and breathing deeply from the shock she had just received. The man smiled as he pressed the button causing Mia to scream as the pain surge though her body as if someone was attacking her entire essence rather then just her body, as her blood curdling scream rang out she clutched the back of her head where the pain was most intent. In the dream Mia passed out from the pain causing the screen everyone was watching to go blank. Jean spoke aloud as everyone was silent from what they had seen. "It's Pietro." She said simply sounding worried. "Yes it is." Agreed the Prof. Looking over at Mia thoughtfully. "Who is that?" asked Brennan looking from Prof Xavier to Jean and then back again obviously confused. "He is a natural mutant who can run like the wind" Jean said and then paused not knowing quite what else to say until Prof Xavier added, "he is also one of Mia's two adoptive brothers. The other you already know. He is Kurt." Brennan froze he didn't know what to say how could a person do this to a person who was actually his family.
"And the chip he spoke of?" Jesse asked seeing that Brennan was obviously to shock to answer. "It shuts down her powers completely. She can't use them no matter how much she tried. It also drains her energy leaving her weaker then a normal human being." Explained Jean watching Brennan carefully. She knew what it was like when someone hurt someone you cared about, she also knew that you would do anything to stop the people who were doing it. "He can also cause her extreme pain as you saw," added Prof. Xavier. "It is like a sub-dermal governor but different, and is buried in her spinal cord where it meets the brain. If we try to remove it there is a 99% chance she will die. And the other 1% will leave her paralyzed even with her regenerative abilities. As if it is tried to more is deactivates shredding her spine cord." He continued sadly, he felt he had let Mia down in this aspect. She had had this chip in her mind for years and they could do nothing about it. "I'll kill him, when I find him I'm going to kill him." Said Brennan angrily as he stood up pure hatred showing in his eyes. Jesse didn't say anything but he thought to himself, `Not if I get to him first.' When the Prof looked at him he looked away not showing the solitary tear that rolled down his face as he watched Mia. He felt so useless not being able to help her.
