Chapter Five: A New Member?
It was a couple weeks later and Brennan was almost completely healed. He regularly kept in touch with Dr. Palance and told him everything that was happening. Brennan had entered the kitchen when he heard Adam say. "I think we should give him another week."
Brennan smiled seeing Shalimar. "I'm fine." Brennan replied to Adam. "Hun? Oh hi Brennan. We were just.." "I know." Brennan interrupted. "I'm sure I'm ok." Adam cast a dubious look towards Shal then at Brennan.
"I don't know." Adam said slowly. "I don't want you getting hurt again." Brennan smiled and laughed quietly. "Trust me, I'm fine." There was a strange silence in which Adam was in deep thought. "Ok. We'll start the testing. Shalimar?" the young feral smiled and lead Brennan to the dojo.
"What is this test exactly?" Brennan asked. "Just testing my fighting skills?" He questioned Shalimar, but she didn't reply. "You'll see." Adam answered from behind them. "Stay." Shalimar told Brennan with a laugh.
"You're about to start a simulation fight." Adam explained as if Brennan had never done this before. "Whenever you're ready." He gestured as Shalimar came down the stairs. "I was born ready." Brennan said with a smirk.
Expecting extremely hard rivals, Brennan positioned himself for a fight. When the holograms came out, they seemed to be holding back. Brennan was confused but used this as an advantage to strike first. He easily took them all down and looked over to Adam.
"That wasn't even a fight. You have to have something better than that." Brennan complained. Adam smiled. 'At least he can take down level ones. Let's try level four.' He thought and turned the skill level up. After this was done, he release the holograms again.
'This is more like it.' Brennan said to himself as the first man charged him. This group too, however, was too easy for the elemental. "Come on! Give me a challenge!" Brennan told Adam. 'He thinks he can take on anything?' Adam thought getting a bit irritated. 'Try this.' Adam kicked up the skill level to ten and smirked.
'What is he doing?' Shalimar wondered. 'This isn't like Adam.' "Adam that's too much!" Shalimar cried as the holograms appeared. "Whoa!" Brennan said as he barely avoided a hard blow.
'This is good.' He thought. He continued to dodge punches and kicks, but he was getting tired way too quick. He felt a hard blow to his side and cried out in agony. "Adam!" Shalimar yelled, "Turn it off!" "Not yet." Adam said watching intently. "I want to know what he does." Shalimar gave one more glance at Adam, then jumped into the dojo.
Brennan wondered what she was doing, but didn't ask. She started fighting against the holograms and was doing pretty good. Brennan pulled himself up and fought his hardest. They were both determined to take these guys out.
"They just don't stay down!" Shalimar grumbled. But before Brennan could reply, Shalimar got knocked down hard. Brennan became furious and sent a tesla coil at the holographic agent. The man disappeared upon landing, and Brennan realized the man was defeated. The other agents disappeared and Brennan ran to Shalimar's side.
"Are you hurt?" He asked with genuine sympathy. "No, I'm alright." Shalimar said sitting up. "Good job." She complemented remembering the downed hologram. "Thanks to you." he said with a smile.
"Shalimar! Shalimar, are you alright?" Adam asked running up the stairs. "Adam!" Shalimar almost shouted. "I told you to turn it off! It was too much! Why didn't you listen to me?!" she said angrily. "I'm sorry." Adam said quietly, but the feral wasn't in a forgiving mood. "Forget it." She snapped and Brennan helped her up.
"So much for him not wanting you to get hurt." Shalimar told Brennan later. "I don't know why he did that! That's not like Adam." Shalimar said pacing in front of her bed. "Lets just forget about it." Brennan suggested.
"We can go find out what Emma and Jesse are up to. Or we can go out somewhere." Brennan said hoping Shal would like one of the ideas. "You're right." she said sitting herself next to him on the bed. "Lets go see if Emma and Jesse want to go out with us." Shalimar said smiling for the first time in a while.
For some reason, Shalimar could never be mad for very long if she was around Brennan. 'Maybe I can get her to calm down.' Brennan thought, and nodded his head in agreement. As the four of them were about to leave, Adam made sure Shalimar wasn't around, and approached Brennan.
"Great job in the dojo today. And I'm really sorry about that." Adam said sincerely. "Its alright. I asked for it." Brennan said with a small laugh. "Here." Adam said holding out a bluish white box. "Take this." Brennan opened the small box.
Inside was a silver ring. 'What's this for?' Brennan thought removing the ring from the box. "That's a comm. link ring." Adam explained almost reading Brennan's mind. "It's linked to your DNA. It's a way for all of us to keep in touch. With the other members of the team." Adam paused and smiled.
"You're in." Brennan couldn't hold back a smiled and almost leapt for joy. 'This is so cool!' he thought sliding the ring on his finger. "Thank you." Brennan managed to say. Adam replied with a smile, but his face dropped when he saw Shalimar. Shalimar looked from Adam to Brennan.
'Why is he smiling?' She wondered. She followed his eyes down to his right hand and saw a ring. "He's in?!" Shalimar squeaked excitedly. When Adam nodded his head, Shalimar smiled brighter than ever.
"Thank you Adam, thank you!" She cried and hugged her leader. Immediately after this, she hugged the man she loved. The last member of Mutant X. Brennan Mulwray.
