Chapter 2

Diana saw Gabriel and Alexia having some rather intimate moments together. Gabriel saying that he loved Alexia. What a liar.

All Gabriel ever did was lie. Gabriel was responsible for so many horrible things. She didn't have Mason with her anymore. Plus Gabriel had forced her to wear a sub-dermal governor. She was like Gabriel. She had been called Patient 1. Everyone said she was like an angel compared to Gabriel.

She was so sick of Gabriel Ashlocke using people like they were nothing more than pawns in his sick twisted scheme. Well, she had her own ideas. Alexia was a sweet kid, who she didn't want to see end up getting hurt. Time for her to take some action against Gabriel.

Diana walked into the technical room and sat down at one of the computer terminals. She began to hack into the computer at Sanctuary, thanks to one of Mason's cyber-empaths who gave her the codes. It only took a few moments before she was able to get through. When she got through, she saw Brennan on the screen. She smiled, "Well long time, no see, Sexy." She teasingly said.

Brennan rolled his eyes. "Go away, Diana. I'm too busy too deal with you right now! I've got more important things to do." He sneered.

Diana got furious. "Brennan! You're an idiot! Your sister Alexia is in some deep trouble. She's in the arms of Gabriel Ashlocke! What can be more important than the welfare of your baby sister?" She asked frantically.

Brennan looked up at Diana shocked. "Alexia's with Gabriel Ashlocke...Oh man! You know what! I can't get through to her anymore. Besides she's eighteen years old now...she's out of my hands! Also, I'm dealing with some very weird, but very good news." He explained.

Diana leaned in closer because she was curious. "What could that be?" She asked.

Brennan smiled. "Well if you must know, we all found out that Emma's expecting. I'm going to be a father." He told her enthusiastically.

She was flabbergasted. "Congratulations" Diana told him before shutting off communications with him.

Dianna couldn't shake the feeling that Gabriel was going to make Alexia into his ally and a powerful mutant.

Alexia woke up and tried to reach out for Gabriel, but he wasn't next to her. She turned around and saw that Gabriel was pouring some champagne into two wine glasses.

Gabriel smiled at her. "Ah, I see that you are up, Alexia. Here, let's drink to us." He slowly cupped her face.

Alexia laughed. "You certainly know how to make an impression on a girl." She took the glass from him.

Gabriel then sat down on the bed with her and pulled the blanket off of her. "Never ever be afraid of your body, Alexia. It's a living weapon, remember that about yourself." His brown eyes twinkled.

Alexia smiled tenderly at him. "Now comes the hard part. How do we get our goals accomplished? I want to have a life, where I'm not always hiding." Alexia said.

"In due time." He told her as they both began to drink their champagne.

Emma knew that something was wrong when Brennan walked into their bedroom with a very worried face. "Brennan, you look worried. Don't be worried, sweetheart. Me and the baby are going to be fine." She said wrapping her arms around him.

"I'm worried about Alexia, Emma. According to Diana, she's gotten involved romantically with Gabriel Ashlocke romantically." He said through his clenched teeth.

"Oh." Emma then slowly took his hand and sat him down and slowly looked into his eyes. "Listen to me, Brennan. Your sister is a woman with feelings. Maybe she can change Gabriel."

"I'm scared Emma. Alexia could get hurt or killed. I have to do something. Gabriel is dangerous. I have to..."

Emma put her finger on his lips. "I know, but do that later. Think about us and the baby we are having. I love you." Emma told him, before they kissed one another.
