Chapter five: Separated

"Argh!!!!" Brennan yelled. He was tied up, chains all around his waist, arms and legs. His T shirt was now teared up into million little pieces that lied on the ground. He was dirrty and beaten up like hell.

"Mr Mulwray, if you don't stay still we won't be able to actually watch this." Echkart said kinda angry. He glared at Brennan with superiority and shook his head in sign of another shot. A man typed something in some kind of machine and immediately another volt of energy hit Brennan. This time during almoast 2 entire minutes. He was in so much pain by now he couldn't even look at the man causing him such pain.

"Oh come one.. like it hurts..." Echkart said with a grin as he stopped the torture with one clap of his hands. "This is so much fun... I wonder why I didn't try this before..." Brennan opened his eyes and finally got a picture of Echkart's image. His glance was full of anger and hate. Brennan tried to move but was suddenly shut by the pain he was feeling. He was indeed hurt at first, and now he could barely breathe without feeling his chest aching.

"Well Mr Mulwray, everything I wanted to prove is done." Echkart started.

"And I have to take that now you're giving me the serum?" Brennan said sarcasticly since he knew Echkart wasn't giving him anything.

"You're brave.. and very brave indeed Mr Mulwray..." Echkart went on saying. "And just before I hand you that serum you need... I want to be sure... you know your lesson..." After saying that the man that was shooting the energy volts started all over again.

"Shalimar... Shalimar can you hear me?" Adam said as he rose Shalimar's wrist checking her pulse. "Her pulse is weak and she is burning up... Jesse, Lexa I need some time alone with her so I can work on an antidote or something." Adam said as he saw jesse started to protest but Lexa dragged him out the lab. Jesse didn't want to leave, he had so many questions to ask Adam he could barely wait for him to come out. Lexa looked at him all the way with an apologetically look.

"Maybe we should track Brennan now..." Lexa suggested. She was proud of herself changing the current topic and situation.

"No Lex, we tried to do that before, but he is not wearing his comlink ring, REMEMBER?" Jesse said enphatizing the last word. He knew the woman was trying to distract him. Lexa understood Jesse's bad mood and barely smiled. She left him as she locked herself in her room.

"Emma... Emma please I need you.. talk to me.." Lexa started saying to the air. She waved her hands in signal of dissapointment as she sat and lied on her bed. "What am I gonna do??

"Lexa." Emma projected herself on Lexa's mind.

"Emma? You okay?" Lexa couldn't help to ask. She was worried for the psyonic, knowing she was in danger wherever she was.

"Im fine Lexa... but Brennan isn't... I know Shal can feel that but I can't establish a link with her, she is not doing good and at this time neither will Brennan..." Emma said to the molecular.

"But we can't track him... he is not wearing his comlink ring." Lexa said desperated for the psyionic to help her.

"He is at Genomex as you thought he would be." Emma merely said. "You need to get him now.. he is quite hurt he won't last too long."

"Okay im on my way." Lexa announced her.

"Take Jesse too..." Emma said as she broke conection.

"Jesse...?" Lexa asked to herself as she went out her room and searched for the molecular. Jesse was reading something Lexa couldn't see. She gently possed her hand on his shoulder.

"Oh Lexa, what is it?" Jesse asked closing his book.

"I know where Brennan is. Genomex. We gotta get him back now he is hurt." Lexa informed Jesse. The man looked at her curious and stood up.

"And how do you know this for sure?" Jesse asked her now almoast in the Helix.

"There's something I didn't tell you... Emma.. she is connected to me somehow..." Lexa started. "Should we let Adam know we're going for Brennan?"

"He'll find out, now back to Emma." Jesse changed back the topic. "How is that you're connected to her?

"For almoast one month I've started having this odd dreams where Emma appears.. she says something about being in danger. After a couple of days I did some research and found out exactly everything she meant when she talked in my head. She's somewhere at Genomex. At first I thought The Dominion had her, but then everything just came to me.

"And what is that exactly...?" Jesse asked again as he started The Double Helix's engine.

"Can't tell you now... but thing is, if we are going for Brennan at Genomex, we can take Emma too!" The woman said excited as she waited for Jesse's reactions.

"You betcha." Jesse said as he typed some things in his screen.

( )

Brennan had been unconscious for about half an hour by then. He was extremely injured, blood all over his chest. Suddenly the elemental started waking.

"Ouch.." Brennan cried in pain when he tried to stand and was immediately filled with pain, specially in his chest. He finally stood up painfully and tried to get a picture of his sorroundings. He was in a small room seemed to be made of iron. He tried the door several times but as he expected nothing happened.

"Oh great.. this is just great... locked up in a small all irony room, and oh god my body hurts so much..." Brennan complained. He passed his fingers carefully around his chest and through all his body just to check the wounds. He looked around one more time and slowly started to get used to the darkness that sorrounded him. "Shal... please hold on... im gonna save you... just... hold." Brennan pleaded as he started forming a tesla coil. He was too weak to actually form a decent one, but he tried it anyway. He shot it to the door but it didn't even left a scratch.

"I must be very bad since I thought I could actually break iron or something with electricity..." Brennan said to himself. Somehow talking to himself kept him conscious. "Okay... since im delirating.." Brennan started. He rose his fist and prepared a punch. He indeed hit the door and felt like hell immediately.

"Damn!!!! Wont try that again that's for sure.." Brennan made him remember that.

( )

"Lexa Im in." Jesse announced as he hid and looked around.

"Im going for Emma, Jess... we're out in 20 minutes." Lexa said as she went in herself. "Emma... Emma wherever you are, if you can hear me, please talk to me... I need to know where are you."

"Don't do this Lexa... this is too dangerous." Emma warned her in her mind. Lexa drew immediately a smile on her face.

"I love a challenge, now tell me where you are exactly.. coming for you." The molecular said with a grin.

"Just be careful Lexa... im in section G-9, 4th floor... but you'll need help.." Emma said in Lexa's mind. The psyonic could also project herself on it giving Lexa the ability to actually see her, and she didn't seem to be fine at all.

"Just hang a bit.. im on my way." Lexa said as the link broke.

( )

"Adam...?" A very confused Shalimar said softly.

"Guess what I gave you worked after all.. it was just to delay a little the efects of the virus you have in your blood. But without a serum..." Adam started saying not really caring the surprise on the feral's look.

"You left us. Where is Brennan?" Shalimar asked instantly.

"He..." Adam started saying but never finished.

"Where is him Adam?" Shalimar repeated. She sat and looked around. Suddenly she realised she couldn't feel Jesse's or Lexa's presence. "Where is everybody?

"Shalimar before I can explain it to you, I need you to know that everything is gonna be fine, okay?" Adam said taking her hands in his.

"You're scaring me Adam. Just spit it." Shalimar said coldly.

"You're sick Shalimar, for you to heal up completely you need a serum... well Brennan went for it." Adam informed. He was nervous. It had been a long time since he didn't talk to the feral. Nore the other teammates. Children.

"Go on." Shalimar demanded.

"The only place where the serum could be was Genomex, so he went there. Lexa and Jesse went for him." Adam said as he turned his back on her.

"What? But Genomex.. My father... he.." She couldn't finish. "I need to get him... them." She tried to stand but fell onto the ground. Adam caught her and placed her on the bed quickly.

"You can't move Shalimar.. you need to rest.. you're too weak." He said worried.

"Like I care. Like YOU care. I have to get them back here." Shalimar informed Adam as she tried to stand again, failing one more time.

( )

Jesse walked carefully as he searched for Brennan. Some agents started approaching.

"Damn..." Jesse said and phased quickly to another room. "Lexa wherever Brennan is, he better starts showing signs of life cause otherwise, this can take a long time..." Jesse said over his comlink ring to her.

"Gimme a sec." Lexa said. After a couple of minutes Jesse heard her voice again. "Go to 2nd floor... section 4-O, you'll find him in there... but hurry." Lexa said again.

"But how do you know?" Jesse asked curiosed.

"Emma." Lexa answered as she went on walking. "Found you Emm." She said gladly and opened the door of one white room. Suddenly a red headed woman looked up at Lexa.

"Lexa????" Emma asked confused. She closed her eyes and opened them again to prove the woman was indeed in front of her. Just as Lexa stepped inside a bunch of agents that were guarding Emma started attacking her.

"Guess today im having fun..." Lexa said as she attacked every guard that approached her.

( )

"Brennan..." Jesse whispered. He knocked slightly on the door infront of him as he waited for a sound. When he heard nothing, he phased the door and got to the other side shocked by what he saw.

"Oh god... Brennan.. Hey Brennan are you okay?" The molecular asked as he helped elemental up. Jesse shook him a bit but he didn't move a single inch. Then he carefully put Brennan's arm around his neck and started carrying him away. "Lexa.. got Brennan, he is alive."

"Busy... fighting... Emma..." Lexa's voice wasn't heard more. Jesse started to worry.

"Im on my way to the Helix.. you want me to leave Brennan there and pick you up?" Jesse asked waiting desperatly for his answer. "Lex..? Lexa??" Jesse rushed and phased Genomex building at once. Carrying Brennan as fast and carefully as he could, he reached the Helix.

"Hey Adam.. got Brennan... but I think Lexa's in trouble.. I'll leave him there and head back to Lexa." Jesse informed. Instantly he heard a reply.

"Okay Jesse, I will be monitoring everything from here." Adam said

"Is Brennan okay?" Shalimar's voice filled the conversation immediately.

"Shal he.. he seems he'll make it... but he is very hurt and beaten up like hell..." Jesse informed not knowing exactly if he should have said that to her. He knew the feral, and he knew she would give her life for the elemental, so he regreted that.

"Im going for him... when im there you can go for Lexa." Shalimar said as she grabbed her coat and started leaving.

"No Shalimar. You're staying." Adam took her hand.

"Sorry Adam, you lost your right to me when you left us." Shalimar said again as she got rid of Adam's hands.

"Shalimar... im sorry." Adam said as he injected her with something. Shalimar stepped back a few inches as she tried to understand what just happened. After seconds, her body fell unconscious to the floor.

( )

"Emma... what did they do to you?" Lexa asked as she untied the psyonic quickly.

"Its a long story... but now all I want is..." She started saying but paralyzed.

"What? What is it?" Lexa asked her worried. "Emma? Emma!!"

"He's here... he is watching us... he wants us.. all of us... dead." Emma said weirdly. Her eyes went white as Lexa tried to figure out what was happening to her.

"Who's here?" Lexa asked confused, but more, terrified at the psyonic's expression.

"Who he seeks only revenge, has already started a plan... feral will go first, while we wait for the rest." Emma said again and then passed out.

"Emma? I don't like this.. no, no... this is bad..." Lexa said as she tried to carry Emma but failed.

"Need an extra hand?" Jesse offered as he approached and froze. "Oh Jesuschrist! Emma??" He said as he felt a couple of tears rolled down his cheek.

"You should have seen her before Jess... something really wrong happened." Lexa said as they both carried Emma towards the Helix.
