Brennan couldn't see anything except what was in his head but he could hear. He didn't know it was possible for someone to scream so long or so loud.

"Stop it!" He could hear his own strained voice, competing with Jesse's to be heard. "Stop it! Leave him alone!"

For a moment Brennan thought that they had heard him and were actually complying, but he knew that was too good to be true.

"Why did you stop?" Eckhart asked Harrison.

"This is very interesting…do you see the patterns?"

"Ah yes…what do you think that is?"

"I believe that it's his body's attempt to prevent damage. You see how it's centered where the pads are attached and spreads…it's a self-preservation tactic…it really is quit interesting…."

"He's not a fucking experiment!" Brennan had been listening to the two men talk while he could ear Jesse weathering and the anger had finally lashed out.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?" Eckhart said, condescendingly.

"He's not an experiment! He's a human!"

"Oh but he is an experiment," came the sickly seductive voice of Laura Brooks. "You all are…didn't Adam tell you that? It was an experiment, a mistake, that created you…"

"He's not a lab rat…" Brennan hissed.

"You know Mr. Mulwray, there is a way that you can spare your friend. You could just give in and answer our questions…" Eckhart said, coming with inches of Brennan's face.

There was a silence in the room for a few moments then Jesse spoke. "Do…don't… take…I can take it…don't give in…" but even as Jesse said it, his voice was shaking and small.

"Oh my god. It worked…" Jessica said staring in disbelief at the bracelet now in her hand.

Both Shal and Witson had dropped their jaws in awe. Emma, however, was beaming like a proud mother. "She," she said, "I knew I was right."

"But how it this going to help? I'm not the type that can blow things off the walls or anything," Jessica said, shaking herself out of her wonder.

"Well, we kind of need the guy with the keys to come in here…and then well…" Emma started, her eyes glowing.

"Then we can take him out," Shal said, catching on. "So Em, are we going to pull another damsel?"

"Uh huh."

"What's a damsel?" Witson asked.

"You'll see…" both girls chimed together.

Adam made his way slowly to the compound. After he had scanned the area thanks to Jesse's PDA, he had found a weak point at the front of the building. Slowly Adam eased his way in, gun at the ready. Normally he hated the things and would never touch them with a ten-foot pull. He thought the crude and evil; strongly believing no one deserved to be shot. However, if Harrison of Eckhart had hurt anyone of his team, which he knew they had, then he wouldn't hesitate to use it…but just to wound them.

The entrance way was clear, except for some burnt pieces of cinder block and pipe and a smoking power box. 'Brennan must have fried some of the circuits, that would explain why it's so easy to get in,' Adam noted. He only paused briefly to survey the damage then was on his way.

He headed towards a hallway directly across from him. He entered it cautiously, disappointed that it parted into two directions. "So, which way do I go?"

The answer came in the form of sound waves. To his left, Adam could make out the faint sound of a scream. 'Jesse….'

"Come now Mr. Mulwray, can't you hear how your friend suffers? How can you listen to him scream?" Eckhart whispered into Brennan's ear during a break in the torture. "He's lost a lot of blood…more then what most people can survive. He's week, in agony, dieing even. But you can stop it…you can save him. All you have to do is tell us where Adam is…"

Brennan's mind was racing. He wanted so badly to keep them from hurting Jesse farther. He already felt like this was his fault. But Jesse's words stuck with him, "Don't tell, I can take it."

'If Jesse thinks he can take it…I trust Jesse….' "He's strong," Brennan whispered.

"He's strong! He's strong! Do you hear that Mr. Kilmartin! You're strong! Mr. Mulwray here can save you from a world of pain, but he claims that you are strong enough to withstand this!" Eckhart exclaimed mockingly. "What say you Mr. Kilmartin? Are you? Well are you?"

Silence was all that answered Eckhart, and then the silence was filled with the hum of electricity followed by Jesse's screaming.

The torture had begun again, Jesse in his physical pain and Brennan with his mental.

"Somebody Help! Get Your Asses In Here! She's Having A Fit!" Witson yelled as he tired to restrain Emma who was convulsing on the floor.

"Help Her! You Ass holes! Help Her!" Shal joined in.

"Help! Please! She's dieing!" Jessica added. All three had their eyes pined on Emma.

Almost as instantly as they called the door to their cellblock was swung open and two GSA agents came rushing in looking pissed. One look at Emma though and they quickly rushed into Emma's and Witson's cell.

"What's going on?" one of them barked as they pushed Witson away from Emma who was still convulsing.

"I don't know…she just started shaking…" Witson stated.

"You have to help her!" Shal pleaded.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep your pants on girlie," the agent said off handedly.

If Shal could have used her powers, her eyes would have been glowing gold, instead she hissed, "I wouldn't want to explain to Eckhart why the strongest Panasonic died in her holding cell."

The agent looked up at Shal, fear in his eyes, and that was all it took. Emma stopped shaking and slugged the agent holding her while Witson slugged the other. At the same time Jessica used her power to steel the keys to the cells. With in seconds the four mutants had over powered the agents and were free of their cells and had deactivated their governors.

"So that's a damsel," Witson said.

"Uh huh," Emma nodded, smiling. "Now, Shal, let's go get our boys.

So, uh, what do u think? This make up for the weak chapter that i posted last time? Oh, and i didn't brakemy hand and am on fall break so i'll probably get another chapter out before the end of the week.
