Chapter 10

Okay Adam we're on our way," Brennan said, "we'll be at Genomex soon."

"Okay becareful," Adam said, his voice ringing. They had got Emma to track Jesse's feelings down and they led them straight to Genomex.

"When I get my hands on Chris...I'll...I'll...I don't know what I'll do," Shalimar snarled in frustration.

"We'll get Jesse back soon," Aralyn said soothingly. Shalimar nodded as they landed the Helix.

Standing ther wating for them was none other than Mason Eckhart. Oh and standing there bside him was Theodore McKane. He looked more grand and more powerful than Eckhart, though it was Eckhart that was more powerful.

"Well Mr. Sanders I see you have failed ot bring me the young girl Miss Wood," Eckhart said, " but I see you have managed to bring one of the Mutant X members. Well done Mr. Sanders." He turned on his heel and McKane followed, then Chris leading Jesse into the building. Jesse was hoping that the rest of the team would think of something soon.

Shalimar, Brennan and Aralyn snuck up against the wall of Genomex. They waited as a few guards passed them before continuing.

Finally they had entered the building.

"Okay Adam we're in," Shalimar muttered, then to Aralyn,"you sure you're ready for this?"

"Yes of course I'm sure," was the reply. They headed off in the direction Emma had told them too. Which was straight to Eckhart's office. Quietly, Shalimar straightened up and took Aralyn's hand.

"Okay let's do this," she said. Brennan nodded and hid safely where Eckhart couldn't see him when the door was opened.

Rap rap rap, Shalimar knocked on the door. It was opened by Theodore McKane who smiled and opened it wider.

"Well well well, look who it is," Eckhart smiled, "Shalimar Fox and Aralyn Wood. Another member from Mutant X. Pleasure. Now hand over the girl and Mr. Kilmartin will be handed over to you."

"What have you done to him," Aralyn demanded.

"I assure you young lady, he is unharmed," Eckhart said, "now hand over the girl or there will be consequences."

Shalimar was fully aware of the men hidden in the safety of the shadows, though she acted like they weren't there. Instead, she tightened her grip on Aralyn's hand and stepped forward. That was when the first man stepped out and pounced at her and Aralyn. Adam had warned them that it was probably a trap, and that's where Brennan came in. Brennan whirled from his own hiding place and threw a bolt of electricity at him. The man felll with a grunt of pain.

"Well looks like we both didn't come unprepared," McKane said, "Chris!"

Chris was there and standing next to him was Jesse.

"Oh man Jess you alright?" Brennan asked.

"I'm just fine," Jesse mumbled. There was also a good chance they would've put a subdermal gonernor on him.

"We'll have you out in no time," Shalimar reassured him.

Jesse looked from Brennan, then to Shalimar then to Aralyn and his eyes grew wide. He stepped forward but Chris stopped him by holding his tied hands.

"Don't do it Shal," he pleaded, "don't do it for me. Don't worry about me I'll be fine just don't do it. Please."

Shalimar ignored him and let McKane brush her aside and take Aralyn. Shalimar then nodded and Aralyn nodded back.

Brennan's hands flew up and tons of electricity flew out of his hands and hit all the agents. Aralyn was in McKane's hands one minute, then the next she was standing beside Ekchart, her mind taking a mental picture of him and making him see an image of himself in a glass box. Ekchart gasped and felt all around him.

"Good job Aralyn," Shalimar cheered.

"Stop right there or your friend gets it," Chris said. Once again Aralyn was beside Shalimar then next to Chris.

"Say goodnight," she smiled. She took one of his hands and flipped him over. Chris was unconious.

"Alright Aralyn," Jesse grinned as she undid his bonds.

"Adam we got Jesse!" Shalimar called as they ran down the halls. Aralyn ran behind with Brennan while Shalimar and Jesse were running in front. The reached the Helix and climbed in. Brennan took the car and he and Jesse sped away as Shalimar and Aralyn flew off in the Helix.

Eckhart couldn't believe what happened. Even after they managed to get him all better, he still couldn;t believe they got away. He was supposed to have that girl in his grasp. Eckhart let out a snarl of frustration.

Jesse was checked over and reassured Adam that he was fine. Adam, however, was not convinced.

"See there," he said triupumphantly, "I found a problem. You my boy have been under to much pressure to notice that once again your wound has opened yet again."

"Oh you got to be kidding me," Jesse groaned. But the thing was, he felt no pain, nor felt blood.

"Ha ha just joking my son!" Adam laughed, "I just couldn't resist."

"Oh ha ha," Jesse said sarcastically, "so I'm alright?"

"Yes Jess," Adam assured him, "you are alright."

"Thank god."

"Jesse?"

Jesse turned to face Aralyn. When they had gotten back, Adam had come running into the landing pad, crying for joy. He had found a cure to save Aralyn's life. Everyone was extremely happy, especially Jesse.

"Oh man now we got to tutor you and all that other school stuff," Brennan complained. Aralyn smiled mischeiviously.

"Oh don't worry Bren," she said innocently, "I'll be a little angel."

"Yeah and I'll be president," Brennan scoffed, "highly unlikely." Aralyn punched him playfully in the arm.

"Well I'm just glad we're going to be alright," Emma smiled. Adam and Shaliamr nodded in unison.

Everything was as it was before Aralyn's changes happened. Adam's cure had slowed Aralyn's mutation to the normal mutation rate. Which made everyone feel more relaxed and cheery. Things soon returned to normal around Sanctuary.

Adam had told Aralyn she still needed schooling, much to her dismay. So Shalimar, Adam, and Emma took her through her academic lessons, while Jesse and Brennan did all the fun school stuff; like gym and drama and art. Oh and can't forget computer.

Aralyn loved living there and didn't want to go anywhere else.

The End

Yay now I have finished!!
