Still don't own em
Emma slammed into Draper's mind like a freight train. He nearly hit the floor when he felt her. He grabbed onto both sides of his head and began to sway. He was screaming at the top of his lungs. He was attempting to gain control by throwing up mental walls every place he felt the searing heat of Emma invade. It only took a few seconds before he had her though. He was throwing up walls not only to stop her but also to trap her. Adam was right. She should not have done this but it was too late now. Emma suddenly felt Draper come into her..
Emma's eyes looked at Brennan who was now fully awake - his pain somewhat ignored with his renewed sense of fear - this fear, though, was of the person who was holding him above the water. Just then, her eyes went black and a guttural growl came from deep within. She slammed Brennan's head under the water and held it just below the surface. Brennan could not believe this was happening. What was she doing? He struggled against her but his injured body just didn't have any strength left and he couldn't. She suddenly let go of him and Brennan took the opportunity to come up above the surface. Emma was trying to keep herself above the surface but was struggling seemingly against herself. Brennan was successfully treading water on his own with one leg but barely keeping his head above surface. He yelled out to Emma. "Emma!" Just then, Emma looked at him and growled, "I'm not Emma you fucked up freak!"
Brennan froze in fear. Emma wasn't Emma. He could barely see her in the dark but that tone of voice was someone else - and he knew whom. Brennan whimpered a bit and tried to swim away. Emma/Draper decided to play with him a little.
"Where are you going? I am going to enjoy killing you with my own two hands!" Emma/Draper easily reached out and grabbed Brennan. Brennan slipped below the surface again and attempted to swim underneath. He couldn't hold his breath, though because of the damage in his lungs and his leg was like a dead club dragging him farther below.
Adam made his way back over to Emma and Brennan's last location. He heard something of a whimper and couldn't make it out over the sound of the water in the chamber. Then he heard screaming and a voice yelling. Adam reached Emma and Brennan and immediately knew what had happened. He looked at Emma and could not see Brennan in the darkness of the black, murky water but he knew he was below the surface somewhere. "Emma!" Adam yelled. He grabbed both of her shoulders and forced her head below the surface of the water. He knew that he would have to choke her out to get Draper to withdraw. It took a bit of effort but she finally started to calm down. He pulled her back to the surface and thanked God when he saw she was just unconscious but still breathing. Then, he thought of Brennan. "Oh Dear God!" Adam yelled. He couldn't let go of Emma to go below to look for Brennan; she would slip below the surface if he did that. "Brennan! Brennan!" Adam was frantic and turning from side to side trying to wake Emma back up. "God! Brennan!" was all Adam could yell. XXX
Jesse and Shal had made their way to the top of the ladder and heard the roar of the water as it began to flow into the tunnel below them. Jesse hoped it would not reach too high into the manhole they were in but also knew that water seeks its own level and if it was at least as high as the manhole in the chamber, it could very likely fill up to them if there was enough water to do so. "Shal!" Jesse yelled, "Get up here beside me! I'm going to try and move the hatch!" Jesse pushed with everything he had at the manhole cover above him; it just wouldn't budge. Exhausted, he yelled to Shal. It was really difficult to hear above the roar of the water. "Shal, I'm gonna phase the hatch. Climb through it as soon as I do!"
Shall made her way to the top and began to climb through when Jesse phased it. She found herself entering a chamber of sorts that was dry. As soon as she cleared the cover, it went solid again. "Jesse?" Shalimar yelled. Just then she saw a phased Jesse climbing through the solid cover. Once Jesse was through, they looked at each other and asked if each was OK. "Shal, we have to be close. I Bet we are on top of the chambers! They could be in any one of these holes." Jesse ran to the first hatch he saw and threw it open.
Light poured in above the grief-stricken Adam. He was nearly blinded by the dim light that shown through the open hatch. "Adam!" Jesse yelled.
Adam couldn't believe he heard Jesse. "Jesse! Jesse!" Adam yelled. "We're down here! Jesse shone his flashlight into the chamber and saw Adam holding an unconscious Emma. "Is she OK?" Jesse yelled. Just then, Shalimar noticed that Brennan wasn't with them. She also noticed that Emma and Adam were slowly moving away from them. They were sinking deeper into the chamber. "Jesse," Shalimar whispered. "Brennan isn't there and the water level is going down!"
Adam yelled to Jesse before Jesse could even comprehend what Shalimar had just told him. "Jesse," Adam yelped, "Brennan is under the water! I can't get to him!"

Brennan was floating now. He was being pulled below with quite a force. It felt familiar somehow - like he had done this before or at least felt this before. He couldn't breath but that was OK. He thought that his lungs were actually full of water and that was why they were not struggling for air. He was drowning. He felt his body ht the bottom of the chamber and felt at peace for the first time in a while. He felt his eyes closing and his mind receding. The pain in his chest and leg were but a distant twinge now. He was OK with this. He was not sad. This wasn't so bad. In fact, this was OK.

Just then, Jesse understood and without hesitation he dove through the hatch and into the water just past Emma and Adam. He had his flashlight with him and it was shining through the cold, murky water. He thought he saw something lying on the bottom. As he got closer, he realized it was Brennan. His mind was racing and his heart stopped as he saw the still form of his brother lying lifeless on the bottom of a sewer. He reacted. He shot down where Brennan lay and grabbed him. He didn't notice, however that they were being pulled towards a hole in the bottom of the chamber. He grabbed Brennan and attempted to swim up. He couldn't. Some type of current was holding him under pulling he and Brennan towards the side of the chamber. Before Jesse could figure out what was going on, his head slammed against the wall of the chamber as he and Brennan were force-pulled through a hole not big enough for both of them. They were tumbling now and he lost his grip on Brennan. Jesse tried desperately to find him again - reached out and flailed his hands grasping anything he could. Just then, his arm wrapped around something soft and his body slammed against what felt like a metal pipe. He had Brennan but was stuck against something. Jesse grabbed hold and began to pull both of them up. He realized what he was holding onto within seconds. It was a ladder, and he had been here before.
