Control 4

After every one was packed and ready, they all meet in front of the main computer in sanctuary. When the others saw Shalimar with her bag slung around her shoulder and a small suit case next to her, they gave broad and genuine smiles that showed how glad they were that she was coming along.
She stood close to Brennan, almost not wanting to get into a discussion with one of the others. All her senses were focused on him, so she tried to keep her distance from all of them.

Adam stepped towards the computer, where a male face suddenly popped up at the click of a button.
" Adam... I'm so glad you agreed to taking up my offer". Adam nodded with a smile, "Well I could barely refuse. So is it ready". The man on the screen nodded, "all set up and waiting for a few people to come and relax".

Adam started to laugh along with the person on the screen, "thanks Marc". The man known as Marc smiled wide, "hey, you're a friend and I still owed you. Well hope you all enjoy your stay and have a wonderful time".

every one thanked him and then the screen went black.

The helix was set up and ready to go as soon as the team members got on board.

Adam and Jesse chose to be drivers, so Brennan could keep Shalimar's mind together and help her keep control. Emma was so excited she even gained a smirk off Shalimar as she raved on about what she was going to do and what she was going to wear. Soon, Emma and Shalimar were in a full heated discussion on what they would do and Brennan suddenly wished he was driving when they started talking about clothes.

The ride lasted about 2 hours considering on how far away it was. But when they landed, all of them knew it was worth the time.

It was on an Island, and it was all to them. Shalimar's eyes light up at the thought of running like there was no tomorrow through all them trees. Her eyes flashed gold for a second and she shivered at the feel of the wind as it gust towards them, bringing hidden scents and other things with it. It almost felt like a relaxing hand had swept across her as she stood with the draft of the wind.

Adam guided them to there house, where there would be staying, and that too took away every ones breath. Every one got a room, which they fancied to there own tastes, and started to unpack. the ground floor only had 1 bedroom, but was huge, like all the rest. Adam chose that one, saying it was the best for him.

The second floor, had two big bedrooms, like the third floor, with bathrooms attached. Emma said she'd stay on the second floor, and Jesse quickly volunteered to do the same.

Shalimar and Brennan went to the third floor that held the last two rooms, and the view took their breath away.

Shalimar had chosen the room that, like Brennan's, had a balcony. She quickly unpacked her clothes and stood staring out at it.

Brennan came into her room with a low knock. He saw her admiring the view and walked in, to stand behind her. she didn't say any thing, and the only knowledge she gave, that she knew he was there, was when she reached back with her hand and gripped his hand to pull him closer to the edge. He almost jumped when she did, and gulped when he looked straight down at the drop below them. He couldn't help at that moment, but hope she didn't have a grudge with him, and get the idea to push him off.

He looked towards her and saw she was still staring over the tops of all the trees. A bird flew up and out of the trees. the colours that seemed part of the bird glistened a pale blue and green with the suns reflection. Even when Brennan wasn't a feral, he saw the colours. They were fresh and vivid like the bird had just been born.

Shalimar sighed and allowed her senses to reach out, letting the flow of every thing roll over her. She felt her shoulders drop as they lowered their defences, felt her mind fall to ease at the feeling of the suns rays painting them selves over her. The wind blew a warm breeze, which amplified the easiness, which settle in her core.

Brennan stood looking at her, not realising he was staring intently. He think of looking away, a small thought kept repeating if he turned, he might miss another moment of seeing how beautiful she was.

He couldn't help but be drawn in and relax him self. Emma had told him once Shalimar was good at helping you relax, but he didn't believe her. With him, she was good for keeping him on his toes, but never gave him relaxing lessons. His eyes flickered from the view to her, and then stayed on her. He could almost feel his mouth hanging open, and when he tried to close it, he felt rendered too weak by her to lift his arm.

A hard knock on the door made him jump, but Shalimar was already turned to see whom it was.

Jesse slowly walked into the room, cautious with the look Shalimar had in her eyes. It was a distant look, like she wasn't there, but some thing else was, in her place. He took a deep breath, remembering why Adam had asked him to come up.

"Adam wants to talk to us down stairs". Silence followed and an odd moment came when he thought Shalimar and Brennan would just ignore him.

Brennan felt him self coming back to reality. He gave him self a quick shake and started towards Jesse. The younger molecular was still waiting for Shal when he passed him to the door. He turned back to see what the hold up was, but made sure to get to the door.

Shalimar gave one last glance at the forest of tree's, before following. Jesse gave a small smile when she followed, and she felt an old part of her self, remind her he was like a younger brother to her. She smiled back and gave Jess an encouraging push towards the door.

when every one was on the ground floor, they had come to realise that the living room was a grand size. The kitchen was cut off, having its own space that too had more than needed.

there was a medium sized bathroom and toilet to which was in the back part of the mansion it seemed.

Adam was sitting down on the couch when they entered the living room. When they stepped in, a calmness hit them. the room reminded most of Emma's room. they all took seats, Shalimar slightly cut off from the others and waited for Adam to start.

"Ok now were all here. I want you all to forget about Mutant x for a few days, and the GSA. no worrying about that stuff".

Jesse cut in, "Adam, what about the new mutant... wont they need us". The group nodded in agreement, but the elder man's smile seemed to counter Jesse.

"I have a small group of people who are more than capable of taking over, for a while. So this vacation is going to be stress free. as you all know and have seen, the forest is every where. There is a small section of the house, which joins like a garden near the back, that had a small pool, but the house makes up for that. there is also an attic, which has some stuff in it but I'm not sure. so have fun for a while, there is plenty to keep you all entertained".

Every one was already thinking of what they could be doing at that moment.

Jesse was thinking of the pool, but some thing about the attic had caught his attention. it sounded boring, but some how, some thing in Adam's voice seemed directed at him.

Emma gave the thought a once over before thinking of what the forest would hold. It was silent apart from some animal noises. But it would hold such peace because there were no people there.

Brennan tried to think his through. He didn't much like the thought of the pool, while Jesse would surely take it as an opportunity to drench him, knowing his dislike for too much water. He thought about just sitting in, since he knew Shalimar would take the opportunity to go and have a run free in the forest. Well it really wasn't a forest, more like a new beginning of a jungle. Jesse and Emma would most likely run off some where, and Adam always snuck off to do research.

Jesse and Emma both bounced to their feet at the same time. Jesse said he wanted to check the attic out and was off in a flash as Adam shouted on how to get to the attic.

Emma was out the door in seconds with a quick saying of out side.

Adam stood and went straight to the office that had been set up for him. Brennan suddenly thought of the replacement Adam had talked about. He couldn't image any one taking Shalimar's position on the team, let alone Adam's. He was the brains and there came no better than him.

Shalimar stood up slowly, "So where you off to then". Brennan gave a shrug, trying not to let his mind wonder. "well come with me then"

Brennan's thoughts crashed into one another like a car pile up. "Really?" She nodded and he saw in her eyes she meant it. Trying to think only made his thoughts slip more so he nodded, "ok. But I don't wanna intrude or any thing".
She seemed like her old self. She gave a small laugh at him, and grabbed his arm as he got up, and pulled him outside. Emma was sitting on the swing on the porch, cross legged and eyes closed.

They tried not to disturb her as they passed by, and she didn't seem to notice.

Shalimar took him deep into the trees, where when he looked back, only more tree's cluttered the land. he kept his eyes on her, and followed, not wanting to get lost on the first day. She kept walking deeper and deep, further, and further away from the mansion. he thought for a second she might be following a scent, but she wasn't weaving about any where. Animals never go in straight line... 'I think'.

She stopped in an area that didn't look much different to Brennan's eyes than the rest of the place. she tilted her head back, and took a quick sniff of the air. Brennan froze when he saw her do that. It reminded him too much of a wild animal, not Shalimar.

She took quick glances round, making Brennan feel nervous. When she turned, her eyes held a distant look, and she trailed her feet around. Brennan watched patiently, like she was scenting some thing, and when she looked at him, he felt his knees would buckle under the stare.

Her eyes were golden, but Brennan realised, did point at him, but only a moment. Her eyes hit some thing behind him, and he froze. the thought crossed his mind that she may be doing it just to play a joke on him, but her eyes and expression didn't seem like she was joking.

Jesse didn't know exactly what he was looking for, but when his eyes landed on a small object sitting on top of a pile of old newspapers, he investigated. He eyes the object intently, revealing what the object was the objects that held it together. He sat down and started to mess about with it, and after a few clicks, of turning and inspecting, it fell together.

He grinned when he realised it was a small device to a system, or a safe or some thing. He looked around to see if any thing else looked suspicious and when he saw a wall to his far left, went to it. a piece of the wall looked separate.

He click a piece into place on the device, and pressed a hidden button. the object gave a small beep before it gave a small red flash. the piece of wall in front of him opened up, and a small computer pulled out. Jesse grinned to him self and started to type on the pad of it. Another beep and the computer screen flickered to life.

It seemed old to Jesse, but it buzzed with new life. Jesse begun examining it, and realised what the computer held on it. A small disk lay on the base of the computer and he popped it in. after a few seconds the disk came to life on the computer.

A list of names flew up on the screen and Jesse randomly clicked on. A face came with the name, and Jesse smirked to him self. The names Jesse thought, some were familiar. They were lists of mutants, for the mutant data base. Adam knew how much Jesse kept it in check and made sure it would stay that way. He gave a sigh and started to search the computer more. a message was left, and weirdly, addressed to him. He opened it, and read it.

I know you've already found the disk and this computer for you wouldn't be reading this message otherwise. Adam asked me to set up a disc for you so you wouldn't get bored. it is a list of new mutants, foreign if you like to say, that need to be inserted in the underground. It's not major since the people have agreed they don't want to go straight away.

The computer will take any data you feed into it, along with any disks you found, or any you may have with you. It also plays any games you may like. its linked up to any thing you may wanna hack or rig so its all your for the time your at the mansion. just make sure you leave no trail for any one who may track you to the computer.

message from

Marcus

Jesse sighs and his hands worked wildly to search the computer for any games he might enjoy. He found about ten that he'd enjoyed and loaded one up.

Emma allowed her breathing to equal out and her mind to run free. she sunk deeper and deeper into her own mind, as she allowed the peace to swallow her up and engulf her to the extent allowed.

Her mind was in its self, wondering along the lines of eternal peacefulness and bliss. she sighed as she allowed the feeling to spread over her. she'd never get the chance to do it at Sanctuary, never so deep any ways. They were on a lonely island, and it only held the max to their knowledge, 5 people. she smiled and let the feeling of peace wash over her once again.

the wind blew lightly at her and she sighed in the pleasant touch of it. It was warm, but not stuffy, yet a slimmer of cold, hung in it. it was a perfect mixture and she felt she could fall asleep at any moment.

Next one will be coming.

Reply please and tell me what u think.
