Dark Shadows Unleashed, Light is lit in Darkness

Disclaimer: 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!

A/N: (sniff) Did everyone know? That we can't respond to our reviews? (sniff) Why oh why! (blows nose) So... I can't reply to any questions from now on unless the rules change! (sob) Well, at least on the bright side, we, fanfic writers, can still write our Author Notes, something also important in fanfic writing... still, I think its extremely unfair. Anyways... Here's the chapter you have been waiting for! I hope you enjoy and thank you for the reviews! (And you'll see I support Brennan/Emma, instead of Gerald/Emma, I needed to put that in order to shake things up.)

Italics: Flashbacks, thoughts or dreams (some might be parts where another is communicating with their heads)

"What the hell are you doing!"

Emma and Gerald quickly let go of each other as Brennan came bursting in. His eyes flared angrily. How dare this man touch Emma! Brennan immediately lost control and before he could stop himself, he threw a whole load of his electricity at Gerald, who was knocked off his feet. He gave a stiffled cry and Gerald, luckily, was knocked to the wall and saved by Emma's bed.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Brennan roared and Emma could see the sparking circulation jumping from finger to finger growing brighter. Emma looked both angrily and shocked to see Brennan so angry. And what was Brennan talking about? Was he refering to her?

"Brennan, calm down!" Emma walked in, to comfort him. He had seen Brennan go out of control once and she wouldn't know what to do if it happened again. "We were just talking!"

"Calm down? Talking? You looked like you were making out with him, Emma!" Brennan shouted sarcastically, his hand still raised straight at Gerald, who looked up blearily at him. He looked a bit dizzy as well. He opened his parched up lips and spoke, "Brennan, I can explain-"

"Explain! No you can't! I know what I saw, you bastard!" Brennan shouted and he moved his hand again to attack Gerald, who looked pleadingly at Brennan.

"STOP!" Emma screamed and this got Brennan's attention. He looked around at Emma, who was now teary eyed. The sparks that were flying wildly in Brennan's hand now disappeared inside his palm. Though Brennan was boiling with anger, he looked back at Emma sympathetically. He moved towards Emma to comfort her, to bring her into his arms, but she glared and moved away.

"No more violence, I don't want to see people get hurt, Brennan! He meant no harm! He's innocent!" Emma shouted, tears spilling on her cheeks. "Jesse, and now Gerald..."

Her words pierced like knives into Brennan's heart, bleeding him from the inside. He looked at Emma, her eyes now filled with tears. Then he stabbed a angry glare into Gerald, who looked all confused and innocent. It's all 'Gerald's' fault! Brennan thought furiously. Unable to hear Emma's sobbing any longer (and the fact that Emma wouldn't let him near her)he glanced at Emma with hurt expression and walked out of her room with the most saddest look a man could ever have.

With an awful headache, Gerald slowly moved and he painfully walked over to Emma, who she let Gerald embrace her in his strong arms. He felt her tears on him and hushed her softly.

Emma let all the tears glide down her cheeks. She was worried sick for Jesse and the stubborn way Brennan had acted when he found out Emma had kissed Gerald only felt herself grow disgusted. Was it because Brennan cared for Emma? Or was it because he was jealous of the man who now comforted her? She let more tears slide. She just wanted the pain and suffering to be over.

Shalimar yawned and stretched her body. She must have been really tired from all the commotion that had happened that day. She got to her feet and then heard Brennan's shouting from Emma's room. She was about to go barge in there to find out what was going on but she stopped. A voice told her to let Brennan take care of it. What Emma didn't know and Shalimar knew was that Brennan still liked Emma. He cared deeply for Emma and that was why Brennan was so impatient around Emma. She also knew Brennan was still suspicious of the man, the newcomer who said his name was Gerald Harrison. She too believed that he was yet another unfortunate mutant caught in some sort of plan but she was curious. Could he be trusted?

He heard her friend, Emma scream angrily and she considered her decision. But still the voice stopped her. "Let them take care of it, Shalimar."

She walked towards the computers and then she typed the password into the keyboard. It was enough trouble that Jesse had been caught. He might be in much more worse condition than they were. The computer screen beeped and the screen was filled with the all the information about the Dark Enemies.

Then just when Shalimar was going to have a go at getting Jesse's com link signal, there was a buzz from Shalimar's com link and Adam's voice crackled.

"Adam?" Shalimar spoke.

"Yes, I am calling to say I'm here, can you open the door, Shalimar?"

"Sure," Shalimar spoke and she pressed a button near the computer. There was a loud sound of the jet engine and the swishing sound of the door as Adam came out of the door. He looked calm but he wore a concerned look on his face.

"I heard Jesse was caught, did you get any signal from his com link?"Adam asked and Shalimar shook her head. "No I haven't checked yet."

"Don't, they may have bugged it. Then they can easily find us and we'll be leading them here."

Shalimar nodded and Adam gave a weak smile.

"Are you alright? Where's the others?"he questioned quickly.

"I'm alright. But I think the newcomer isn't," Shalimar spoke. And then she added, "He's over in Emma's room."

"Alright, thank you Shal," Adam spoke and he walked towards Emma's room.

Jesse felt as if he was floating. He couldn't feel his body and what he did feel was numb, controlled. And he hated it. The only thing that seemed to move freely in his state was his eyes, which showed all the fear and anger he had stored in him. Even his lips didn't move easily. His eyes studied where he was. He looked like he was in some sort of dungeon, but really it was only a small room with a simple little bed and a chair. The room was quite dark and the only light that poured down on him was the small little lamp on the top, which swinged back and forth. The handcuffs that were on him before had now been removed. He had fought hard not to tell the specific directions of Sanctuary and where it was but the device in the back of his neck had made him tell. He felt so guilty and angry.

"It's not fun, is it, to feel controlled?"spoke the familiar voice and his eyes followed the same woman's form. His eyes were burning furiously as the woman chuckled. She sat on the chair beside him and she held some sort of remote control in her hands. She pointed the device at his face and clicked a button. Immediately, Jesse felt control over his lips again and he shouted the curses he had to say to the woman. The woman seemed to stare at her captive with a malicious smile and her eyes flared wildly. She did not care about the insults her captive threw at her now. Her plans were coming to place now.

Jesse breathed in and out, since he had no control to pant, and he just kept glaring at the woman, who looked so crazily happy. He wanted to grab her throat and squeeze it so hard. All the murderous attempts sprouting into his head later made himself uneasy.

The woman, whose eyes glinted dangerously, lifted the device in her hand and smiled. "This most advanced technology... Marvelous what science can do, don't you think, Mr. Kilmartin? Now, I want you to do something very important. If not, I'll let you wish you've never been born," the woman spoke in her most sweetest voice and Jesse, who stared at the woman with disgust. And the woman pointed the device right in his face and clicked the button.

A/N: Well, that was kind of fun to write, though it was hard. I hope I didnt let anyone down! Please please review!
