Mutan X: Only Way In

Ch. 7 Almost There

By: NelleFang-Slayer

Adam walks into the lab and Jamie sits up. Adam then walks over to his computer desk and sits down.

Adam: I almost got. Just a few more tries and I found a cure.

Terry: That's good news Adam since Jamie is almost in her 5th phase!

Jamie: How would you know?

Terry: Because your chart said you should have died last night, which means you don't have that long.

Adam: I'm trying to work. What do you want?

Terry: Nothing I just wanted to know you progress.

Jamie: Well you know now so get out!

Terry smirks and then turns around and leaves.

Adam: You need to stay calm, Jamie. Don't let your emotions take over you.

Jamie: Like when my parents died.

Adam: That was different.

Jamie: No it isn't. They will probably kill you after they have the formula to cure the mutants. They could have control over the others, Shalimar and Jesse.

Jamie wanted to say Brennan and Lexa's name but it was too risky.

Adam: I know but I cured Jesse, and I don't even know how I did it.

Jamie: I don't know what I would do if I knew I lost you guys. You are all my family.

Shalimar: We know so make sure they don't get their hands on that cure.

Jamie: Yeah (she says to Shal). Adam can you give me a sleeping agent cause I want to sleep but can't with these lights.

Adam: Sure.

Adam gets a syringe and gives it to Jamie. It took a few minutes to work and Jamie was back at Sanctuary playing with the holograms in the Dojo when Adam, Jesse, and Shalimar were off doing Mutant X stuff. Jamie could do the holograms faster now. Even a few times Jamie could beat Jesse. She was just twelve and can still beat his butt. Jamie's room was a normal twelve year olds room; a bed, a desk, lots of pictures, books, and a TV with lots of DVDs next to it. When she didn't want to work out or do anything she would just watch a movie. By the time Jamie was back into the lab with the older Adam standing over her after she dreamed about her and Adam making Sanctuary 2.

Adam: Your up. You have been asleep for nearly three hours.

Jamie: Good I needed the sleep. How's it coming Adam?

Adam: Not so good well for your body because if I use this cure you'll have side effects. For example fever, dizziness, and blackouts, ect...

Jamie: Like "they" care!

Adam: I'm trying so hard to make a cure with no side effects.

Terry: Why, we don't care as long as you cure her.

Adam: Some side effects could kill her and you would never find out if the cure worked or not.

Terry: If the computer says it works then it works!

Adam: Not exactly. See when I found a way to stabilize Gabriel Ashlocke's molecular structure on my computer it didn't do anything for him.

Terry: You tried to cure a mutant who could destroy the world!!!

Adam: It's not like I had a choice he threatened to destroy an entire city.

Terry: So you found a cure but it has side effects that could kill any mutant?

Adam: YEAH! So it makes it worthless!!!

Terry: Fine make it work before Jamie dies tonight!

Terry leaves the room and Adam goes over to Jamie.

Shalimar: Wait Adam you didn't even try to help Ashlocke.

Adam hugs Jamie.

Adam: Yeah but he doesn't know that.

Jesse: So you found a cure?

Adam: Sort of. I'm still trying to make something that will work faster and has little side effects as possible.

Jamie: Don't worry you will.

Adam: I better get working on it.

Adam goes toward the wall that's behind his desk and touches it. He puts a small unnoticeable camera on it so Mutant X can see what is going on in that room. Then he goes to his desk.

Shalimar: How are you doing Jamie?

Jamie: Ah you know SPIFFY with going to die in so many hours!

Brennan: Hey I thought you weren't afraid of this.

Jamie: Yeah umm I LIED!

Lexa: Adam will save you, you do know that right?

Jamie: Yeah I do but that is not what I'm afraid will happen. I'm afraid they will come after you guys and Adam and kill all of you in front of me before killing me painfully.

Jesse: We won't let that happen. I PROMISE!

Adam jumps up.

Adam: I got...no ...never mind.

Jamie looks over and sighs.

Shalimar: Jamie?

Jamie: Yeah?

Shalimar: It will be okay.

Adam: I'm almost there!
