Chapter 14
Brennan and Emma started searching for Gabriel on the second floor of Genomex. They were constantly checking to make sure no agents saw them.
"Gabriel's nearby," said Emma. "I can sense him. He's with two agents. He's really worried about Aurora."
"Come on," said Brennan," we gotta find him."
"Emma and Brennan turned the corner and saw Gabriel be held by two agents. They approached the agents. Brennan threw a bolt of electricity at one agent and he fell to the ground. In doing so, he let go of Gabriel. Emma kicked the other agent and punched him in the face knocking him to the ground.
"Come with us," said Emma to Gabriel.
Gabriel looked at Emma and then looked at Brennan. "You?! Aurora's brother?! What the Hell are you doing here?!" Gabriel exclaimed.
"There's no time for that now," said Brennan." You're just gonna have to trust me when I say we're here to save you and my sister."
"If it means getting out of here, fine. I'll go with you."
"We have to meet up with Jesse, Shalimar, and Aurora so we can get back to the Helix and get out of here," said Emma as they headed back down the hallway to find their friends.
Jesse and Shalimar walked down the corridor. Then they saw two agents in front of a door. They ran towards them. The agents looked at them and prepared to fight. The first agent punched Jesse in the stomach but Jesse massed before his fist even touched Jesse. The agent cried in pain from the impact with Jesse's stomach. Jesse in return, punched the agent in the face and kicked him in the chest, which knocked the agent to the ground. Shalimar kicked the other agent in the face and punched him in the head. Both agents were out cold. Shalimar put her ear to the door. With her feral hearing, she could tell there was a young woman inside who was struggling to get out. That young woman was Aurora.
"She's in here," said Shalimar grabbing the doorknob. The door was locked.
"I'll get her," said Jesse as he phased through the door and appeared on the other side in front of Aurora.
"Jess," exclaimed Aurora looking surprised but happy about seeing him.
Jesse came towards her and untied her from her chair. He held out his hand and helped Aurora stand up. Her legs were slightly numb from the ropes that had been tied around her. She started to fall but Jesse caught her in his arms.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he touched the bruise that was on Aurora's left cheek.
"I'm okay," she answered as she regained her balance and stood up straight. "But one of Eckhart's men put this thing on my neck and now my powers aren't working."
"Let me see," said Jesse. Aurora turned around and lifted her hair off her neck to reveal the subdermal governor. "That's a subdermal governor. Eckhart uses them to control New Mutants. By using a remote control, when he presses the button and he can either turn off their powers, turn them on, or give them a shock for being disobedient. When we meet back up with Shal, Brennan, and Gabriel Brennan can deactivate it. I can't remove it until we get back to Sanctuary."
"Brennan came to save me?"
"Yeah and he's worried that something bad happened to you. And so was I." Jesse said as he looked into Aurora's eyes and Aurora looked into his eyes.
They move a little closer together. They're lips met in a passionate kiss.
When Brennan, Emma, and Gabriel finally found Shalimar, they came running to her.
"Shal, where is Jesse and my sister?" asked Brennan.
"In this room," Shalimar answered," the door is locked so Jesse phased through."
"I'll unlock it," said Brennan as he shot a small bolt of electricity into the lock on the door. It clicked and Brennan turned the doorknob to open the door….
