A/N: Hello I've realized that it's been awhile since I've updated this one. I had a serious case of writers block on this one, and I really didn't know how to proceed with this chapter. However after much brain wracking I managed to crank this one out in the hours of the am. I'm wasn't too sure how to do the fight scene, I had to keep in mind that it was season one, so the teams powers were limited, also I just saw how the helix looked like in the first season and… ew… anyways hope you guys enjoy this one.

As always please, please, please leave a review. It just takes a minute and I would really appreciate it. I live on reviews, it's a good way on letting me know if I screwed up or not. Questions, comments whatever email me or leave it in the review.

Ok enough from me, go on read!

Chapter 6:

Jesse had settled himself down in front of the main computer terminal updating the mutant database, and checking up the local security on one of the many safe houses. He was more than a little miffed at how the supposedly good senator had basically torn apart the mutant community. Even knowing that he was apart of a team in helping out mutants across the country from scum against the senator wasn't enough to wipe out this disgusted feeling he had deep inside.

Brennan was sitting in his room bored actually, still winding down from this mornings 'outing'.

It had angered him to no end how that asshole of a Senator planned to go through with this entire 'Mutant Registration'. He scuffed at the thought of walking around with a big sign on his head. 'New Mutant, shoot me.' because in truth that is what they would be doing if this stupid law was passed. He shot up from his bed and walked out of the room heading straight for the punching bag, all this extra energy felt as if it were burning him from the inside out. It needed to be released and fast.

Emma was sitting in the middle of the dojo when she felt a wave of anger and fear; it literally knocked her over where she was sitting. Gasping for breath she opened her eyes and looked around. Her face blushing hotly as if she had gotten caught doing something she wasn't suppose to. Against Jean's advice Emma had gone in search for the young man that had been in the crowd earlier with them. He had felt strangely familiar to her, but she couldn't understand why. So against better judgment and advice, Emma had tried to get a sense of his emotions. Her powers had been a little edgy as of late and she had hoped it would help her in her search. The results of which had startled her and overwhelmed her.

She pushed her brown hair away from her face and noticed Brennan walking past the staircase.

'Now where is he going?' she thought as she watched him as he placed the gloves on his already taped hands. Brennan than stared the bag for what seemed like endless minutes before he attacked it.

Emma peered at her best friend watching his every move; she didn't have to read him to know he was angry. After the trip they had it was a wonder it had taken him this long to attack the inanimate object.

Emma watched his every punch and brutal kick to the innocent bag and had a brief flash of his sight.

"Of course." she said to herself.

"Of course what?" a voice said so close to her ear that Emma shrieked and jumped up from her spot on the floor. "Shal!"

"Who else would it be?" Shalimar asked innocently.

"You scared the life out of me!" Emma shouted trying to catch her breath.

"You seemed to be in deep thought, it was only right that I snap you out of it this way." Shalimar said with a smirk. "More fun."

"I'm sure, what's up?"

"Adam wants us to meet him in the lab, something about a disturbance."

"I'll go the guys." Emma said. "You're liable to give them a heart attack."

"Just a small one." she said backing down the catwalk.

~*~*~*~

"Adam you wanted to see us?" Jesse said as he fallowed Shalimar into the lab.

"Yes, just one moment…." he said turning back to the computer screen to confirm something than cursing under his breath.

"What is it Adam?" Emma asked as she walked into the room fallowed by a sweat drenched Brennan.

"Jesse prepare the Helix you're on the move in 10 minutes." Adam took in his no nonsense tone. "We've received a distress call, Joe Seggara called it in."

"One of the safe house's?" Shalimar asked

"A new mutant going into what he calls an Electrical Seizure. GSA has already been notified."

"Another Elemental?" this seemed to pique Brennan's interest.

"Female, early twenties."

~*~*~*~

Traveling Van…

Arrayal Marline buttoned up her uniformed and took her place by her commander. With much pride this was her first assignment, and she was proud that Eckhart had selected her for such an Elite force.

"I don't have to tell you that this new mutant is important. Eckhart wants her back in one piece. According to the reported sites she is a powerful Elemental." Agent Bryce said as he took in the new recruits. Thinking that more than half of them would not make it out alive. Oh well Eckhart would give him more people anyway. No skin off his back.

~*~*~*~

No less than 15 minutes later the Helix landed on the rooftops of the old Docs warehouse. Brennan turned to the others. "Ready." they each gave him a slight nod. "Lets go."

"I don't like this." Shalimar said her eyes shifting from their normal brown to the animal yellow. Something in the air wasn't right. As they were making their way across the roof to one of the stairwells Emma stopped, the familiar emotions swarmed at her all at once. The waves of anger and fear were so intense they practically tore into her and made her double over in pain. "Emma, what's wrong?" Shalimar ran to her side. "Shal, she's hurting." was all she could say, before a huge wave of calm hit her, forcing the tidal wave of emotions away. Emma couldn't understand what had just happened.

"Who's hurting Em?" Shalimar continued.

Brennan and Jesse turned and saw that the two girls were crouching down. "You ok?" Brennan jogged towards the two. "I'm fine." Emma replied standing up and dusting herself off. "Are you sure Em?"

"Trust me, I'm fine."

"Ok, Jess you and Shal take the east side entrance, Emma and I will take this one." Brennan said taking the lead once more. "I said I was fine, I don't need a baby sitter Brennan." Emma said with the calmest tone that it actually irked the older man. "It's not babysitting it's called looking out for a friend." he retorted as the other disappeared down the eastside. "No, it's called being over protective." she said as they walked across the roof. "Can I help it if I worry?"

~*~*~*~

Joe Seggara had waited until the shocks had died down, than managed to drag the young lady into a portion of the wall where they wouldn't be seen. GSA would definitely have a field day if they got their hands on her. But waiting here like this was just pure hell. The girl was still out cold and there…

Joe glanced up at the sound of footsteps, peaking out from behind the walled in portion he saw another young man walk in through the front door, tall blond, in camouflage pants and a dark shirt. Dark shades preventing Joe from seeing the kid's eyes. "Lexi?" he looked down at the girl who was now visibly shaking. 'Is that your name kid?'

Up until a few minutes ago Eddie was sure that he had left her here. According to his dad's old battle stories this place was suppose to be abandoned for another 7 months. It would be a future safe house for new mutants. For about five minutes he stood there in a panic state wondering what to do, fearing the worst that maybe the GSA in this time had gotten to her. But it was impossible no one would know anything about this area. That's when he felt someone else was in the room that wasn't his best friend.

"Whoa the hell are you?" he demanded.

Joe slowly stepped out from behind the wall with his hands up. "I'm not gonna pull anything on you." Joe said carefully staying in the kids' sight. If the kid were the jumpy kind he wouldn't dare set him off.

"Where's the girl?" he demanded.

"Behind the wall." Joe nods in the direction of the unconscious body. "I didn't hurt her. See for yourself."

"I'm not stupid you know." Eddie says eyeing the stranger's pocket.

"I told you I wasn't going to try anything. It's just my cell phone."

Eddie knew he was telling the truth, he didn't know how he knew but he did. His only thought now was to get to her. He walked over to where the stranger in the dark clothing stood and stopped a foot away from him.

Joe sighed heavily and moved away from the wall to let the kid pass by. Watched as he kneeled by the young lady with ease.

"Aww Lexi, Christ." Eddie pulled her upper body unto his lap, cradling her in his arms; he brushed the stray hairs away from her pale face. "Oh kid… I am so sorry."

"I wouldn't… do that if I were you."

"Who the hell are you anyways." Eddie asked still not looking at the stranger.

"A friend."

"I asked who are you, not what." Eddie snapped.

"Joe Seggara, your friend there just went through an electric seizure a few minutes ago. I called in a friend to…"

"You did what?" Eddie looked straight at Joe even with the shades on he could sense the kids fear. The kid looked to be staring off at somewhere on the wall. As if he were concentrating on something or another.

"Hey kid it's ok there the good guys, they can help."

"You should have never done that."

"Don't you want some help for her."

"Oh, will help her alright." a female voice said. Causing both Eddie and Joe to look in the direction of the entrance. There stood two lead GS agents with large tasers in their hands, along with three more agents behind them. "Mr. Eckhart will be pleased to help her out." the leading male agent said.

"I don't think so." a blond woman leaped down from the rafters landing swiftly on her feet just in front of Joe. Dressed in black leather pants and a black jacket.

"Shalimar Fox nice of you to join us." The leading man known as Agent Bryce greets her warmly.

"Bryce so nice to see you." A second blond comes through the wall just beside her. This one dressed in black pants, and a jacket zipped up half way.

"I see you brought tag-along Jesse." Bryce continues with his sunny disposition.

By now Brennan and Emma are coming down the stairs stealth like watching the group. "Brennan." Emma nods in the direction of the two young mutants behind the wall. Brennan descends the stairs in that direction, with Emma fallowing behind.

"Lets make this quick shall we? We just want the two kids, and well be on our way." Bryce says as his agents make to move forward. "I don't think so." Shalimar says as her eyes change into feral mode.

"I was so hoping this wouldn't happen." he snapped his fingers and the GSA behind him charge forward. Shalimar jumps up with a scissor kick knocking three of them out. Joe takes a swing and engages in a hand to hand with one agent. A wave of red covers Jesse's body just in time to protect himself from the blow of the taser in one agent's hand.

Brennan and Emma had made it down to the first floor to help their partners in protecting the two new mutants. What they didn't see was that Eddie had gathered the young lady in his arms and stood up. He was preparing to make a hasty exit when he got hit from behind, and audible gasp escaped his lips as he fell forwards dropping Lexi.

"Leaving so soon little one, I thought you learned by now you can never escape. She belongs to us." Agent Marline had managed to get past the others and was now standing over the two mutants.

Eddie looked up at the dark haired woman; her green eyes blazed with prize at her would be captors. She leaned down grinning at them as she pulled out the implanting device. "This is gonna hurt." she says.

"So is this." Eddie says as waves of blue cover his entire left arm, he takes one swing at her sending her flying backwards about ten feet back out from the wall. "Lexi." he remembers getting to his feet hauling her up against his body, his left arm around her waist he picks her up in one swoop looking back at the members of Mutant X as they fight off the agents.

"They're getting away you fools!" Bryce says.

Jesse looks back to see the blond young man phase right through the wall. "What the…"

Most of the agents abandon the Mutant X team and run out of the building. Agents Bryce and Marline do the same.

"You guys go head the GSA off, I'll go this way."

"Jesse wait a minute!" Shalimar's protests are in vain because Jesse had already walked through the wall. "Dam it."

"Shal leave 'em will catch up this way." Brennan said as Emma and Joe run up the stairway towards an exit door.

~*~*~*~

Eddie hadn't gotten more than 6 feet away from the building when, he heard a familiar voice calling out to him. Telling him to stop, and as much as he wanted to he knew deep down inside he shouldn't. Looking down at the young lady in his arms he knew she needed help, the hospitals were out, so was asking for a mutant hospital… although he wasn't too sure there were any in this time. But if he let Mutant X take her the consequences would be more than he could handle.

"Hey would you stop!" After phasing through the wall Jesse wasn't too sure where the kid would be going. And from the looks of how far he got it didn't seem like he had anywhere to go. "Hey I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to help." The kid had stopped but wasn't turning around.

Eddie closed his eyes praying for the man to go away, he wished with all his broken beaten heart that the man wouldn't be there when he turned around. That it would all be some twisted illusion brought to the 3-D form.

"Please I just want to help." Jesse knew that the kid had heard him, and hoped that he would accept his help. Those Agents would surely be catching up any minute. As the kid turned slowly turned around Jesse peered at him, he looked vaguely familiar but he couldn't pin point the memory. Nor could he comprehend the reason he seemed to be so taken aback with him.

Eddie wanted to cry right then and there he didn't care who saw him at the moment. He didn't even realize that he was holding Lexi so tight. The man that stood before him seemed so damn sincere it was killing him inside. It wasn't supposed to be like this. None of this was suppose to be happening. Some great god from above would be laughing at him right about now, how many times had he been asking for something like… A moan from the body in his arms brought him back to reality, "Lexi…" No coherent response was given; something of a mumble but that was all he got. She needed help.

Jesse had moved forward with extreme caution stopping just a few feet away from the 20 something year old. "I have a friend that can help her, but we have to move now this isn't such a safe place for the two of you." he says glancing around to make sure there are no agents.

"Captain obvious." Eddie mutters.

Jesse stares at the kid; the only other person who ever called him that was Brennan. Shaking his head clear. "Jess where the hell are you, we gotta get out of this place now." Brennan's voice came out loud and clear through Jesse's com-ring. "We don't have much time." Jesse tells him.

Eddie looks down at Lexi with one thought in mind. 'She needs help' He reluctantly nods.

"Ok… will go with you."

~*~*~*~

They had made it to the roof with minor difficulty; Eddie slides down against the walls of the helix with Lexi still in his protective embrace as the others run aboard. His last thoughts before slipping into the sweet darkness were that he screwed up big time, and they were all going to pay for his fuckin' mistake.
