I just finished the story but I'm gonna upload over the next couple of days...just to keep you guys waiting. Cruel I know but if you don't bother to review than I'll have to take drastic action and click the delete button on my computer and then you'll never find out the ending...mwahaha!
Okay so I'd never actually do that. I put a hell of a lot of work into this story. But I'm serious about the whole review thing...please do.

'So what do we do when we find Emma?' Brennan asked from the back of the Helix. Shalimar turned to look at him.
'If she's by herself we pick her up and bring her back to Sanctuary or one of the safehouses.'
'And if she's not by herself?'
Shalimar and Jesse looked at each other. Shalimar wasn't happy about throwing Brennan in at the deep end. She hadn't seen him do anything with or without his new mutant powers that could be termed as fighting and she wasn't sure how he was going to deal with any of it. She hoped he would do okay, because if he didn't, she probably wouldn't see him again. He'd either be placed in the underground to lead his life as he wished and hopefully dodge the GSA, or he'd be dead. She didn't want either of those for him and she had a feeling that he didn't too.

Emma's hand shook as she placed it on the railing. She knew she couldn't go anywhere, she was trapped and she was certainly not risking her life by jumping over the edge, but she needed support from something. She looked into the mans eyes and saw only his mission. He was so focused on catching her and she could tell that he wasn't even thinking about anything after that. His mission was to capture her and he couldn't see past it. She debated trying to harness her abilities but gave that idea up almost as soon as she had thought of it. There was no point, it wouldn't work.
She felt the wind whip itself up and it tugged at errant strands of brunette hair. She saw the men in front of her raise their heads to look at the sky above them and wondered what they were looking for. Her eyes widened as she saw a figure fall from out of nowhere onto the roof in front of her, in between her and the men. Emma looked up and suddenly, out of the blue appeared a plane, one she was certain hadn't been there a second before.
'This does not concern you,' said the man.
'Who are you?' Shalimar asked, hoping to buy herself some time. She knew she could take all of the people on the rooftop regardless of whether or not they had mutant abilities but she'd rather not have to.
'Agent Thorne. And you are?' he bit back.
'I asked the question because I didn't have any idea; that makes me curious. You asked even though you already knew; that makes you stupid.'
Emma smiled a little at the comeback. She was fully in favour of whoever the blonde was, as she seemed to be the one attempting to save Emma's life and that made her not only brave and very cool but incredibly funny as well.
Thorne's face transformed and within seconds he was charging at Shalimar. She jumped over his head and landed behind him. The rest of the agents took this as a sign to start the attack and they all moved forward. Shalimar placed her foot onto the chest of one and used it as a jumping off point. She flipped and turned so she could kick the guy in the head with the heel of her foot. She landed facing away from the group and quickly turned, just in time to force the palm of her hand into the nose of an agent. He yelled as he stepped backwards. She kicked the third agent in his gut and he doubled over at which point she lifted up her leg and slammed it into the back of his head. He fell to the floor but Shalimar had no opportunity to rest. She rolled forward past the blow of one of the agents and out to the edge of the group. She didn't want to be in the centre of the action, she liked being able to see everything that was going on. She dropped to the floor and swept an agents legs from beneath his body. He hit the ground and she moved on to her next opponent.
Emma watched on as the blonde woman took down every person in the group. She gradually worked her way through all of them and Emma was seriously impressed; some of the men were a foot bigger than her and a heck of a lot heavier.
She looked down at the hand which had grabbed hold of her arm. Her eyes moved up to look at Thorne's face, she saw the anger in his eyes and she knew that while the anger had been caused by the blonde she was gonna be the one it was directed at. His hand increased its hold and she let out a yelp of pain.

Brennan looked out of the door of the ship. He watched as Shalimar fought her way through the group of Agents. He had never seen anyone move so fast and with so much force. But she looked graceful too, something he didn't think was possible.
'I'm gonna lower the ship so you can jump out,' called Jesse from the pilots seat.
Brennan looked over at him with wide eyes. 'You're gonna lower this so I can what?'
'So you can jump out,' said Jesse. He hadn't figured Brennan for a guy who would get scared but looking at the whole situation through his eyes Jesse realised quite how worrying it was. He had grown used to the battles with the GSA. But no matter how much experience Brennan had with his powers and kicking ass in general he had never dealt with them before.
'You don't have to go if you don't want to.'
Hearing silence from the back of the Helix, Jesse turned. A smile appeared on his face as he saw that Brennan had disappeared.
***
Brennan's feet slammed into the ground and he grimaced as he felt the force burning his legs. He stood up straight just in time for the fist of one of the agents to smash straight into his jawbone. He reeled from the attack but was soon kicking the guy down onto the floor. He caught his breath and felt the adrenaline pumping through every part of his body. He looked over at Shalimar and saw her kicking ass like a pro. He turned his head to look in the other direction and saw the man who had introduced himself as Thorne holding onto Emma's arm like a dog with a bone. She was struggling but he was not letting go for anything.
Brennan elbowed an agent in the face as he walked towards the pair. He saw Thorne's head turn to look at him and narrowed his eyes. Brennan wasn't intimidated by many things in life. He certainly wasn't gonna back away from this fight.
'You wanna let her go or am I gonna have to make you?'
Emma looked towards him and Brennan could finally see the terror in her eyes. He looked into the blue orbs trying to send reassuring thoughts with just one look.
Thorne raised his eyebrows.
'Well, if that's the way you want it?' Brennan answered. He lifted his hands and drew them across one other. He watched as the sparks formed themselves and flickered gently from hand to hand. He circled his hands around one another forcing the electrical pulses to become larger and more aggressive.
Suddenly he felt a huge impact on the back of his head. Unprepared for the blow he fell to his knees. He could feel the wet ground of the roof against his fingertips and he could feel the cold seeping through his jeans. He looked up at Thorne and could see the man smiling. Brennan glared back and pushed himself off the floor. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned quickly, ready to punch whoever it was. He looked straight into the eyes of Shalimar.
'He's mine,' she said quietly.
Brennan smiled in reply and they swiftly swapped places so that Brennan had three more agents to take down and Shalimar had Thorne to take care of.
Okay so I'd never actually do that. I put a hell of a lot of work into this story. But I'm serious about the whole review thing...please do.
