Disclaimer: I don't own Mutant X and all its characters. I just borrow them and I will bring them back.
The song 'Jesus to a child' belongs to George Michael and his company. I just borrow some sentences from it.
A/N Almost forgot the title last time. Oops! Final exams are coming these months. If everything goes okay I will have a lot more time in September to read and write. I am so looking forward to that moment!
Title: No hope left
Summary: Three years ago a trap leaded to the capture of many mutants. One camp is freed, but friends are still separated from each other. Will friends and lovers find each other again?
BREAKBREAK----BREAKBREAK
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be… my love
Brennan looked at Shalimar while he wiped his forehead. "Is it me or is the tension rising again?" She didn't answer. Instead she flashed her eyes golden. His eyes narrowed because he knew what that meant: Trouble.
Most of the mutants were captured by now, but a few of them had managed to escape into the safehouses. The safehouses that weren't discovered and destroyed already.
Where the dominion had the power of camera's and other electronics, they had a lack of it. Still, they had the opportunity of powers;
Mutants with the power of invisibility worked as a spy. Moleculars formed the defence for attempted attacks at the safehouses. Psionics and ferals functioned as guards, for they were the first ones to sense an upcoming attack. Each one of them had a task, functioning as a team. At the same time they kept searching for their captured friends, family and lovers.
Over the last few months more and more bodies had been found.
Brennan looked at Erray, a young psionic, who had lost his sister recently. Brennan shivered at the thought it could have been Lexa or Jesse.
Every time they found another body that thought crossed his memory. Every time it wasn't one of his closest friends he silently thanked his God.
Erray was devastated by the death of his sister. But he didn't show. He had swore to take revenge on the person who was responsible for her death. And only that promise kept him going.
Erray knelt by her broken body and cradled her head in his lap. He closed his eyes, trying to find a sign of life in his sisters mind. But there was none.
His hands caressed her face. His tears mingling with blood on her face.
Brennan placed his hand on his shoulder. He knew he could say nothing to the boy. Still he felt he had to say something comforting. But failed as he tried. There was nothing comforting to say to a boy who had lost everything dear to him.
The young boy turned and looked at him. Tears shone in his eyes as he kissed his sisters hand. Whispering in her ear: "I will kill all responsible for this. I owe you that much, my little sister." He stood abruptly turning to Brennan. "We still have things to do. Come."
At the time Brennan had recognised the signs to suppress her death. But since they didn't have the time to mourn he was glad the kid himself seemed to know that already.
He wasn't to sure if he would be able to do it.
Now they were at the same building where a woman with raven black hair and deep brown eyes had been seen.
Off course it could be another woman, but they had to check if it was Lexa. If it was her, maybe Jesse wasn't far away.
He was aware of an argument between the two before they disappeared three years ago. An older man claiming he was Lexa's father had sent Lexa a video.
One day later they had found Jesse furious behind his computer tracing Lexa's Mustang. "I hope nothing happened to her… I won't forgive her." The waver in his voice made it clear he couldn't forgive himself if something had happened to her.
Obviously something had happened to Jesse also for he never came back again. Months had turned into years. Mutant after Mutant disappeared but no one had a clue where they were. Now mutant after mutant had been turning up dead.
And a race against the clock had begun to find those still alive.

Bill slowly opened his eyes. "Aww…" He groaned.
He looked around him. The dark hall seemed to continue endlessly. There wasn't a sign of life and suddenly worry overtook him.
Where is she? Where is Lexa?
He scrambled to his feet. "Now where did I come from?" Looking back and forth he had no clue. Not wanting to stand still and wait for a new surprise attack he started walking.
"…To quiet around here?" A voice floated through the darkness.
Panicked Bill turned around and started to run away as fast as he could.
BREAKBREAK----BREAKBREAK
"There is one person." Shalimar sniffed. "Fear. That wouldn't be some one from the dominion." "Unless he has done something stupid and has to tell his boss."
Brennan swallowed his grin when Shalimar broke into a run. "He is fleeing. I am not planning to lose the only trace to our friends!" She hissed.
Erray nodded grimly. He took off after Shalimar, Brennan hot on his heels.
BREAKBREAK----BREAKBREAK
Running into a smaller hallway he spotted a small opening on his left. "Perfect." He mumbled.
Silently he scooted on his hands and feet into the shadows, listening to the footsteps.
They were approaching fast.
He tried to calm his heavy breathing.
Shifting into a more comfortable position he bumped into something.
Reaching out to move it aside his hands he felt something soft against his hands. Following the natural rounding with his fingers realisation dawned upon him.
"No!" With a terror stricken scream he bolted out of his hiding place. He punched wildly around, to panicked to really see. To scared to realise he had run directly into the arms of those he had been running for.
BREAKBREAK----BREAKBREAK
Shalimar stood still listening for unusual sounds or footsteps. "He is close. But it seems he isn't running any more." "He is hiding in the dark. Some where before us." Erray whispered.
"It's dark everywhere so he could be anywhere." Brennan complained. "It's time we make a little light." A second later light was softly sparkling on his fingertips.
Suddenly an air piercing scream rocked the walls around them. Brennan whipped around at the sound, only to bump into a younger man.
The man fell backward while waving wildly with his arms. His body trembled and his breath hitched.
Brennan reached to touch the man. But only then the man seemed to realise he was not alone anymore.
With another yell the man scrambled to his feet. In a futile attempt to escape the man limped to the darker side of the hallway.
And Brennan watched with astonishment and horror how the man prepared himself for whatever the man thought would happen.
