Chapter seven: The Destroyer and Emma
It was about 2 am around Sanctuary. Adam was back, yes, but his relationship with the team was very confused and scared of whatever was going to happen next. Some of them didn't even sleep. Shalimar got up. Her fever was down now and she was doing pretty much okay. The feral carefully walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. It was hard to think that they were all together, but yet so distant. She thought several times about what Brennan had said before. She couldn't say the man wasn't right, and she knew loyalty was everything to the elemental, but she was glad. She was happy they were all together and safe... even if it was temporary. On her way to the kitchen she started sensing someone. His scent was too strong for her to ignore it. Brennan was sat in there, back facing her. Shalimar moved as smooth and quiet as she could but he ended up recognising her in the shadows. She poured herself a glass of water and stared at him. Brennan did so too. But neither said a word. The feral went on with her way as she started picking up some sort of conversation inside Lexa's room. She approached a bit and tried to listen more carefully.
"Digger... you can't hurt me anymore baby... and you can't hurt Emma either.. she's just here.. with us. Safe." A very confident Lexa said to a man in front of her.
"Ooh.. that hurt.. well actually nah it didn't.. Lexa babe, here me out. Yes, you do have the little psyonic here.. but do you still think you got a chance??? The Destroyer is near you... and he will destroy every and each of you..." He started laughing so hard he didn't hear Shalimar dropping the glass. Though Brennan did.
"Shalimar!" Brennan shouted as he instantly walked up the stairs following the noise.
"Shhhh!" Shalimar shouted. She put her hand on his mouth and slammed him on the nearest wall, both as close as someone could be in that position and Shalimar watching him not to make a single noise. Brennan didn't complain. He listened along with the feral.
"Oh you think you can actually win? Poor baby... Lexa... neither you or your pathetic friends will stay alive after a couple of days.. you'll see.. The Destroyer takes everything... and The Dominion is only feeding him.. soon he will be out.. to have a meal of his own.. I've heard he has a thing for.. ferals.." The man started laughing again and dissapeared.
"What the heck...?" Brennan said but Shalimar shut him again. She quickly moved him far away from Lexa's room so he could say whatever he wanted to. "What the hell was that??"
"I don't know Brennan.. but Lexa has some things to explain..." She said. She was scared he could notice that.
"Hey.. everything will be just fine Shal.. we will defeat The Dominion and whoever that Destroyer guy is... he won't have the chance to even lay his fingers on you.. I promise." Brennan said to her as he held her shoulders to make her look at him.
"Brennan... I..." Shalimar started.
"Im sorry Shal... You were right. I guess.. sometimes I overreact a bit... Adam is a good guy after all." Brennan said regretful.
"Yeah.. but you had a point there.. and Im sorry too.. I... its just.. you mean a lot to me okay, so.. if you ever think about leaving like that... could you at least talk to me first?" Shalimar said. A couple of tears rolled down her cheek. Brennan smiled and wiped them away. They stared at each other for seconds that lasted almoast an eternity and finally Brennan leaned to kiss her. Shalimar approached too and they both kissed so deeply and intensively as they had wanted since the very first moment they laid eyes on each other. Brennan slammed Shalimar against the wall and kissed her even deeper, starting to explore her and then kissing her tears.
"Uhum... uhm.." Adam cleared his throat as he waited for the couple to pay him some attention.
"Adam!" Shalimar shouted.
"I need you two in the computer room now... we have some kind of plan guys.. and.. uhm... im .. sorry?" Adam said trying to apologise for interrupting. Brennan sighed as he and Shalimar followed him to the computer room. When they entered Lexa, Emma and Jesse who were already in filled them with the mission.
"But Adam.. isn't it a little dangerous sending Shal, Lexa and Emma in.. alone?" Brennan said sounding so overprotected that Shalimar couldn't help to smile at his concern.
"Actually Brennan, we have more chances if the girls go, since there is mostly male customers..." Adam said again.
"no kiddin'... but I still think its dangerous.. and The Dominion might suspect..." Brennan said again trying to come up with the best excuse he could.
"Brennan lets just let them do whatever they have to..." Jesse said. Then he remembered something. "On second thoughts.. they might need one strong guy in there... just to watch them.."
"Good.. you know where we can find one?" Lexa said to him in a flirty little tone. Shalimar looked at Brennan as they both shared known looks. Emma stood up and left.
"Emma? Where are you going?" Shalimar shouted as she followed her. The rest of the team behind her.
"Out of here.. you stupid humans are getting me bored..." Emma said in a cold weird tone.
"Emma?" Brennan called for her almoast not knowing the psyonic.
"Oh don't tell me you are actually worried about us? Who would say.. once a criminal... always a.. pathetic thief? Sorry.. I wanted to make a point out there... well maybe next time..." Emma said as she blasted him so strongly he crashed againts a wall. Shalimar hurried to help him and Jesse and Lexa stood in front of Emma.
"You are not Emma." Jesse said sured.
"Ooh... with all that brightness im scared now..." Emma said as she moved for another blast but Lexa was faster and moved Jesse out of the way. Shalimar helped Brennan up and they both chased Emma out of Sanctuary.
"What the hell did they do to you??" Shalimar asked worried.
"You've seen nothing Shal... The Destroyer is out there.. and he is gonna start with you luv..." Emma said as she practically dissapeared leaving Brennan and Shalimar very worried. Adam and the rest filled the scene seconds later.
"What happened to her?" Jesse asked them.
"She was turned." Adam answered.
"What do you mean turned?" Brennan asked him worried about what she had just said.
"Whatever they did to her at Genomex.. Emma is not herself right now.. and the best for us.. is not bumping into her again.." Adam replied coldly.
"What? We'll never see her again? We have to help her!" Shalimar said desperated.
"And we will. After we take The Dominion down.. and for that.. Shalimar, Lexa... get ready for the mission." Adam ordered and left.
"Emma..." Jesse muttered as the team thought about the psyonic.
( )
"Oh come on Shal... you know its not too late to take back.." Brennan said as he hid something behind his back.
"You know I'll hurt you bad if you dont give that back to me, right?" Shalimar threatened giving one of her best smiles.
"What is so important about this little piece of paper anyway? Ooh.. Shalimar Fox has some secrets on her own..." Brennan said with a misterious smile.
"No I don't! Just give me that!!" She shouted as she tried to get to the paper Brennan was holding up. Her size didn't help, and Brennan seemed to find it very funny.
"Just take this as a little revenge for when you stole that black book of mine kitten..." Brennan said again.
"Brennan c'mon.. I really dont wanna hurt you.." Shalimar said with a threatful look.
"Like you could..." Brennan said sured.
"Shalimar is time.." Adam's voice spoiled the moment.
"Guess you want this back..." Brennan offered her the sheet of paper.
"No.. you keep it.. and you'll give that to me when im back." Shalimar said as she leaned and kissed his cheek. They headed to the lab where Ada, Jesse and Lexa were discussing some things about the mission.
"So is not that hard anyway.. We get in, we get some information, we investigate, and then we're out..." Lexa said as she waited for Adam's reply.
"Well im hoping it will be just as easy as you put it Lexa.. just be careful.. Both of you.. The Dominion might suspect Im back here, and that we know something, so you act as inocent, naive and clueless as possible... got that?" Adam explained Lexa and Shalimar. Brennan didnt have a good feeling about that mission at all. They were supposed to get in some kind of gang undercovered and get as much information as they could about The Dominion, and now that they know about some kind of Destroyer guy, he knew she would do whatever she need to find more about thatm and what happened to Emma.
"Shall we review?" Shalimar asked as she took her coat and stared at Lexa.
"Not necessary.. is it?" Lexa asked Shalimar as she followed her.
"Nah... bye guys.." The feral said as sweet as she could sound only causing Brennan to worry even more. They saw the girls dissapear and take a car with them.
"Adam.. you being back here... it means more than just trusting.. but if we said we were gonna trust blindely each other.. then could you tell us something about what happened to Emma? She was good a couple of days ago.." Brennan said to Adam. Jesse watched the scene and stood behind Brennan as support and some kind of evidence that he wanted the same that the elemental.
"Okay guys... I guess you do deserve some sort of explanation, but before I do that... I want you to welcome someone..." Adam said as he rose his hands. "Well... come in." A white haired man entered the room staring with a wide misterious smile.
"What the fuck...?" Brennan couldn't help to say as he looked at the man in front of them.
"And hello to you too Mr Mulwray..." Echkart said again smiling.
"You bastard!!! What the hell is he doing here Adam??!!!" Brennan yelled in anger.
"He is here to help us Brennan." Adam said as he tried to control the elemental's anger, now combined with Jesse's fury too.
"Adam have you lost your mind or something? This is Echkart!" Jesse said to him just as angry as Brennan.
"Glad you remember me Mr Kilmartin..." Echkart said ironicly.
"Guys, Guys! Lets just focus on what we have to do! Mason is going to help me with something I need to do, you don't have to be around him, so leave.." Adam told them. Brennan looked at him angry and shook his head in dissaproval. Then he headed to the door and left slamming it. Jesse looked at Adam then at Echkart and then he left too.
"There is something very wrong with that man!" Brennan said as he punched the wall hardly.
"I know... Echkart is not known by his good mind and inttentions.." Jesse said to Brennan.
"I was talking about Adam." Brennan said again leaving Jesse alone.
