I don't own Mutant X so I don't own the characters as well! (I wish I did!) But I do own any other characters I've created!
Author's Note:
It's been quite a while since I wrote the last chapter!
(I've just noticed I've written the story before my birthday! Gasp!)
I hope everyone liked that one! And I hope everyone likes this one as well:) Anyways, I wrote a bit longer than I expected but that's a good thing! Well guess I should let you read the story then! Enjoy!

Plans
"Mr. Kilmartin, did you really think we were that stupid?"
Jesse only glared up at the beautiful looking woman who had tortured Gerald Harrison for the past weeks. Now she had another victim.
Jesse was strapped on a metal chair, his hands and legs clamped on the metal chains of the chair. He struggled a bit but it didn't budge.
"No use, Mr. Kilmartin. And if you even think of using your powers, which I doubt, you will die before you're friends come here and save you. But you're friends are not going to just get you. You're friend, Mr. Brennan Mulwray, will go in your place," the woman before him chuckled rather insanely. Her eyes glinted with cold humor.
Jesse looked up at the woman at the mention of Brennan. What do they want with him? What are they going to do with him once his in their hand?
"What do you want with Brennan?" he snarled. He glared angrily at the woman, who smiled back.
"Captives don't have the right to talk, Mr. Kilmartin. And you are a captive. If you ask any questions, it will be the end of you," the woman spoke and stood in front of Jesse. She chuckled again.
"But I guess I can give you a little hint on why we want you're friend. He is the key to everything."
Jesse stared at the woman with distaste. "Key? You sick bitch, what are you trying to do to Brennan?"
The woman's grin faltered and slowly turned to an angry frown. She slapped Jesse's cheek hard on the face. Pain coursed through Jesse's face as he winced. He could feel a scratch on his face from the woman's long sharp nails. The warm blood trickled down his face.
"I SAID CAPTIVES DO NOT TALK!" she roared and snapped her fingers. A door opened to reveal a man holding a familiar device in his hands. Jesse's eyes widened with fear.
"No, no!" Jesse shouted as the object came closer. Someone roughly pulled his hair, revealing the back of his neck.
"Enjoy yourself, Mr. Kilmartin!" the woman spoke and laughed, her shoes clinking away.
A pain pierced the back of Jesse's neck and Jesse screamed in agony as the subdermal governer was placed into his neck.
The man in front of Jesse stood there watching Jesse writhing with agony with a smirk on his face.
"Now, you're going to tell us where Sanctuary and Brennan Mulwray is. This is for your own good, Mr. Kilmartin."

Brennan sat on a chair, grumbling irritably. Shalimar just grumbled as well in annoyance at Brennan's mood.
They had waited for almost two hours with nothing to do.
"When are they coming back?" Brennan spoke, annoyed. He drummed his fingers on the table near him, crouched in a thinking position.
"Brennan, I don't know, they're probably coming back just about now," Shalimar suggested.
"Or maybe in big trouble," Brennan spoke.
"Brennan, they're probably alright! Don't worry too much or-" Shalimar began when there was a opening sound.
"At last, their back!" Brennan said and woke up, walking quickly.
Emma and a man appeared out of the door. But Jesse was nowhere to be seen.
"Emma, where's Jesse?" Brennan demanded, his eyes narrowing suspiciously at the man beside her, who looked away.
"Jesse's c-caught!" Emma stammered.
Shalimar came running towards Emma, who looked really upset.
"What?" Brennan roared and ran towards the computer, muttering in frustration.
"Emma, it's alright. We'll get Jesse back," Shalimar reassured Emma, who calmed down a little. The man standing beside Emma gripped her hand tighter, as if he was a poor lost child.
"Emma, whose this?" Shalimar spoke and pointed to the man.
"My name is Gerald Harrison," the man spoke with a weak smile. Shalimar smiled back quickly. "Well, welcome to Sanctuary."
Gerald's heart suddenly froze. Sanctuary... Sanctuary...!
He remembered someone coming into his cell when he was asleep and putting something on him. That time he didn't know what. But now he realized that he had most likely been tracked.
"I have a transmitter!" he shouted frantically touching his clothes. Shalimar and Emma's eyes widened.
"Where is it?" Shalimar shouted. Gerald touched his body searching if there was anything similar to a transmitter.
Emma focused her eyes and sensed the transmitter... but in a very unusual place.
"Gerald, you have it inside you..." Emma spoke, gulping.
Shalimar's eyes widened even more. "Oh my god... how are we going to get it out?"
Gerald froze and stopped touching his clothes. He's eyes widened as well. He had no memory of being cut open in that horrible place.
"We have to call Adam," Emma spoke and walked towards Brennan. Brennan was yet again sitting on the sofa, drumming his fingers on the table.
"Brennan we have to call Adam!" Emma shouted and leaned over the computer, her fingers touching the keyboard.
"I already did. I can't reach him. God..." he spoke, looking frustrated.
"I'll try to reach him in his mind. You try reaching him with the Comlink ring, Bren-," Emma spoke and trailed off. She closed her eyes and focused her mind, reaching Adam's mind. She could feel a thousand minds swirling through her path to reach Adam. She focused harder, shutting her eyes harder. She sensed Adam's mind through the thousands of minds and reached forward. A gentle kind of feeling swept her as she spoke.
Adam we're in trouble...
Emma! What are you doing? You can't do this, it's dangerous!
I know... but we need you're help. The Dark Enemies got Jesse and I brang an innocent mutant who has a transmitter planted in his body!
I'll come as soon as possible! Wait there, and don't leave the person you brang out of you're sight. He may just as well be a man working for the Dark Enemies!
But he might be innocent!
Don't let him wander, Emma. That is the last thing we need.
But-
Emma, please.
Ok... Please just hurry!
Emma opened her eyes and realized Shalimar and the man beside her. Her palms were sweaty and although she was supposed to feel hot, she felt very... cold. Really icy cold that she gasped for breath and was about to collapse.
Just when she might have dropped to the ground, Gerald caught her, holding her firmly.
"Careful," Gerald spoke and smiled gently at her.
Emma looked up at Gerald with bewilderment.
"Thank you," Emma spoke as Gerald let go softly. Emma was leaning on the computer chair, grasping the seat tightly.
"Emma are you alright?" Brennan shouted with a worried look as he walked quickly towards her side. "I'm ok."
"What did Adam say?" he asked.
"He said to wait here and that he'll come here as soon as possible."
"Well, that's a relief, I guess."
"Emma, what happened in that building you went?" Shalimar spoke.
Emma told them the whole story about landing at the building and how the Dark Enemies tricked them cleverly into their plan.
"Maybe they wanted you to find Gerald," Shalimar spoke. Brennan glared suspiciously at Gerald, who winced at the thought.
Gerald is an enemy...
Emma winced at Brennan's suspicious thought.
"Maybe..." Emma spoke slowly.
"Well, you guys have to get some rest. We'll just have to work out a way to get Jesse back," Brennan spoke irritably.
"Yeah, I think I'll sleep for a bit. Gerald could come to my room," Emma spoke and smiled at Gerald.
"No Gerald could-" Brennan started. Emma grabbed Gerald's hand tightly. "No its ok, Brennan."
Brennan groaned silently. She read my mind... he thought irritably.
"Do you need any help, Emma?" Shalimar spoke with worry.
"No I'll be alright. Thanks Shalimar!" Emma spoke and got up, her legs wobbling a bit.
"Come on Gerald let's go," she spoke and Gerald nodded, glancing fearfully at Brennan's direction. They walked away from Shalimar and Brennan towards Emma's room.
"What happened to Emma?" Shalimar asked.
Brennan just stared at them walking inside and closing the door gently behind them.
"Emma read my mind."
"What did she read?" Shalimar spoke, looking up at Brennan.
"That I was suspicious of Gerald."
"Oh, well, I think Gerald is a good guy. That's what I think that is," Shalimar spoke with a cheeky smile and walked away.
"Maybe..." Brennan spoke and looking at the door of Emma's room one more time, he walked away as well.
Emma closed the door gently behind her. She let go of Gerald's hand, who smiled grimly at Emma's direction.
"That guy's suspicious of me. I heard he's thought."
"Brennan is just nervous, that's all."
"Do you think I'm bad?" Gerald spoke, he's eyes looked gently at Emma. Emma's heart stung at the thought that this man in front of her was actually accused of being a bad man.
"No... But I'm not sure..." she spoke and trailed off. Unless I make contact with you... she finished in her head.
"Then you can do it. I have nothing to hide," Gerald spoke and leaned forward. Emma hesitated.
"Come on," Gerald spoke. Emma closed her eye and opened them. She sent a connection and Gerald staggered. Emma closed her eyes and let all of Gerald's life flow through her eyes.
