"We are outside. The rear part's burning like hell! We tried to help some mutants to get out of

the warehouse but we had no chance to get in there. They died, so please get out of there

before the fire reaches you. We don't wanna loose you as well!" "You can count on that. We

free the mutants in the hall and come out as soon as possible," Jesse ended up the link and

turned to Shalimar. "Shal, get out of here, I'll get this without your help!" She nodded and

walked to the door. If there were no fire, she would never have left Jesse but in this case she

was glad that he could free the mutants without her help. Maybe Brennan could get inside the

warehouse and help Jesse. When she'd already reached the door, there was a giant explosion

and everything turned black.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Brennan couldn't believe it when the whole warehouse got up in flames. "Jesse, Shalimar,"

screamed Emma and started to run but Brennan held her back. "What do you wanna do? Run

into the fire?" Tears began to roll down her cheeks and Brennan pulled her into his arms.

"Stay here, I'll go," he said and left her. Emma cried something, but he was too far to hear it.

Everything he could think of was Shalimar. He had to safe her! "Shal!" the heat of flames hit

against his face and he struggled to see something. He began to tear up, the smog burned in

his eyes. "Brennan", Jesse's voice pulled him back into reality. "Jesse, where're you?" "I'm

over here, please help me, I'm stuck!" Brennan could see the silhouette of his friend and

tripped into his direction. He kneeled down next to him. Jesse's legs were stuck under an

alcove. "I would've thrown this damn thing away but my arm hurts like hell!" He clenched

his teeth when Brennan lifted up the alcove and sharp pains shot up his legs. "Where's Shal,"

asked Brennan." I can't see her! There's to much smoke! Where was she when this fucking

house exploded?" There was a moment of silence between the men, Jesse then pointed in the direction of the door. "I wanted her to leave the warehouse because she's so afraid of fire.

She'd already reached the door, when the building exploded. The blast hit her and threw her

though the air. But I don't know where cause I lost consciousness." Brennan looked around

him. He had entered the building through the door or where the door had been. Now there was

a big whole in the wall. "There," he screamed out of a sudden and ran over to the other side

of the hall. The flames burned on his skin and his leather jacket caught fire. He pulled it out

an ran straight on. His lungs burned like someone would push a knife inside it several times.

He tried to breathe a little less but he had to caught for air every time he held his breath.

"Shal", he yelled but became no answer from the young feral. The fire was around her lifeless

body and he couldn't help her. It was impossible to get though the flames without fire

resistant clothes. "Jesse, you have to help me. I can't reach her because of the fire. I need your

powers!" Jesse got up under great pain wand walked over to Brennan. "I can't carry her man,

my arm's killing me!" The elemental thought for a moment, than answered: "Can you use

your powers to bring me to her?" Jesse nodded and walked into the fire. The flames shot up

his body but didn't hurt him. "Run against me!" "What???" "Run against me!" Brennan

hesitated for a second than ran against Jesse. Both men landed on the other side of the fire.

Jesse sighed in pain when he hit the ground and grabbed his arm. Brennan had already

Kneeled down beside Shalimar and stroked her hair. He tried to wake her up but she didn't move.

Blood was pouring out of a wound on her forehead but she looked OK. "Brennan, we have to

get out of here, the building will collapse! " Jesse pointed at the pillars which carried the

weight of the warehouse and which were not very stable anymore. Brennan lifted the feral up

and

they tried to get to the whole in the wall but with no success. The fire became worse with each

passing second. It shot up the walls and stretched its hungry fingers for the three mutants.

"Jesse, run! I'll get out of this.somehow!" Jesse glared at him. "Brennan, I'll never leave

you here with Shalimar. You have no chance without me to get through the flames. Either

we'll stand together or we'll die together!" "Jesse, I don't want you to stay here. YOU are

able to get out of here so use you powers man and get out! I don't wanna discuss this with

you. I'll find a way out of this damn house on my own and now go! Maybe Emma and you

can help us from outside. GO!" Jesse hesitated. He didn't want to leave his best friends but

Brennan was right. There was no use in dying together. Maybe he could help them to get out

from outside. He looked at his friends for a last time and began to run as fast as he could with

his hurting legs and his arm. Jesse ran through the wall and fall to the ground, totally

exhausted. He felt two hands grabbing his shoulders and he tried to defend himself. Than he

heard Emma's voice and became aware of that one of the pillars at hit the ground. Exactly

where he'd lain a few seconds ago. A cloud of dust fell over them and Jesse could see that

parts of the building had crashed down. Brennan and Shalimar were trapped. "Bren, Shal," he

screamed in horror, than lost consciousness.
