Chapter 8: Enjoying life

The doctor was amazed at the change even his test hadn't predicted this good of a change. He smiled and left the enclosed room and went to Eckert's office. The door slide open to reveal Eckert sitting behind his desk.

"Yes, doctor." he stated.

"I wanted to inform you that the first part of the tests went very well. In fact better then expected."

"How many injections will they need until they are past the point of return?"

"Three more and it will be complete two and the process can not be reversed."

"Good I want this finished and them up and working ASAP." The doctor nodded and turned to leave. "Oh and doctor please pay a visit to out other guest and make it an opportunity for them to escape."

"But sir. If the tests fail we will need other subjects. We only picked these two because-" Eckert cut him off.

"I don't care. Just do it." He growled then the doctor left.

Jesse jumped to his feet as the door swung open. A man was standing in the doorway dressed in lab clothes.

"Who are you?" he asked waking Emma and Adam up from their sleep.

"A friend."

"A friends of who." Emma said.

"You, I want to help you to get out of here. Someone needs to fight the GSA and that would be you." The man reached into his pocket and pulled out the controller for Emma's and Jesse's governors. He tossed it to Adam who caught it in his left hand. Quickly deactivated both of them. "You friends are in the cell down the corridor to the left the last door on your right." Then he left leaving the door open.

"Do you think it a trap?" Emma asked, her powers still to weak to be used fully.

"I don't know ,but I guess we are going to find out. Come on Brennan and Shalimar need our help." Adam said moving toward the door. Jesse and Emma quickly followed.

*

Shalimar and Brennan both paced the room. Shalimar would paced and then pause at the door smell the air then continued to pace then suddenly she stopped causing Brennan to slam into her.

"Shal, what is it?"

"Door." She said." Someone." Not wasting her breath. The door slide open and Brennan smiled at who it revealed.

Adam, Jesse, and Emma stood before them. Emma felt something different about them but couldn't place it. Brennan smiled and waved. Adam walked over to deactivate their governors also when Emma realized the feeling.

"Adam, don't." she yelled. Adam paused Emma saw Brennan's eyes flash and his smile faded.

"You spoiled my fun." He said snapping electricity to his hands. "Now you pay." He said striking outwards. One bolt his Adam another Emma the one intended for Jesse hit the wall behind him as he phased.

"Damm." Adam said shaking it off standing up helping Emma up. Brennan moved back to stand next to Shalimar the electricity jumping finger to finger.

"Man what did they do to you?" Jesse asked.

"Not him, us." Shalimar said her eyes flashing yellow.

"Shal, this isn't you." Emma said backing up towards the door. Shalimar leaped and Emma heard a voice behind her.

"That's where you're wrong." Emma spun around. This time backing towards Adam. She bumped into him.

"Shal what happen to you two?"

"They sat us free." Was all she said.

"No they didn't they just changed you somehow and now I am going to help you." Emma shot a phonics blast towards Shalimar but she had already moved. Emma spun back with her back to the door and shot off another blast at Brennan. He wasn't as fast and the shot caught him in the head throwing him across the room into the wall.

Emma heard Shalimar growl. "You'll pay for that bitch." Emma ducked out of the way and moved towards the door. Adam following her. Shalimar paused not knowing what to do. Check on Brennan or pursue the prey. She made a decision and ran to Brennan's side. Grabbing him by the arm pulling him up.

"Brennan, wake-up." Shalimar heard the door close behind the 3 other mutant x team. She didn't even turn around.

*

Brennan didn't know where he was or what he was doing. He saw Emma nearby walking towards him but getting now where as if she was treading water.

"Emma. Help." he called

"Brennan." She called back." Fight it."

"Fight what." Then she dissipated. //What every she wanted me to fight I will. // Brennan thought

*

Brennan came to just in time to catch Shalimar's hand, as it was about to slap him across the cheek. His face was bruised and cut but he felt great better then great.

"You okay?" she asked not worried but not happy either just asking as if she needed i.

"I'm fine. Where's the others?" he asked pushing himself up.

"Outside the door." She sniffed the air. "Their afraid." She said smiling.

Brennan smiled back.

*

Emma eyes snapped open as she was forced out of Brennan's mind.

"What is it?" Jesse asked.

"They have been experimented on." She took a deep breath. "Eckert is testing a new drug on them to find new mutants that he can use for the fallowing to thing a person who is fearless, painless, emotionless, and free in a way no one has ever been."

"Free in what way?" Adam asked

"Of their entire sub-conciseness." she said letting her fear wash over her.

"And the other?" Jesse asked not really wanting to know.

"Who can mate and produced one of the most powerful mutants ever know."
